Fine Showing Of Mohawks Assures Future Of Hockey In Cincinnati
Switch To Senior Ranks Cuts Down High Expenses CINCINNATI, Ohio.— Senior Hockey has been the answer to a lot of prayers in Cincinnati, Ohig. Not only did it bring the championship of the Amateur Hockey Association of the United States to the “Queen City” but, also assured a longer life for the game that has had a rocky history down where the South begins. Three years of American Hockey League teams didn’t pay off at all; as a matter of fact the club landed on the rocks. A new company was organized and was known as the Cincinnati Mohawks Hockey Club Inc. It is headed by J. Thomas Grace. Executive Director of the Cincinnati Gardens, where the team is housed.

Tobin Scotches Rumors About Mosie Going To NY To Reunite Pony Line
CHICAGO, Ill.— When Chicago’s hockey faithful learned that their all-time favorites and two of the NHLs most famous and talented puck performers, Doug and Max Bentley, appeared set to resume their brother act at New cork, the bellows of woe rumbled forth from one side of town to the other.

Gros Bill Has Fans Playing Guessing Game

That statement would sound pretty flat if made merely on a local or personal behalf, because everybody in this vicinity has been talking of Beliveau ever since the evenings turned chilly, and speculating on his chances of joining the Canadien forces. But when such a statement comes from Jack Adams, of Detroit Red Wings, it’s like the man biting the dog. It’s news. For Jovial Jack has, in the interests of business, spent a great deal of time and effort to prove that Gordie Howe is the greatest, best, most wonderful and most receipts-producing player who ever laced on a pair of skates. But in a telephone conversation with this agent, Jack expressed amazement over the…
Pro-Amateur Pact Being Revised Following Meetings In Toronto
TORONTO, Ont.— The rift between the National Hockey League and the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association that developed last Spring, and saw heated exchanges between officials of both bodies, seems to be all but patched up. Main point of issue between the warring factions had been the agreement between the NHL and the CAHA. Now the two organizations have seemingly ironed out the major points of dispute and all appears rosy again. The new agreement will provide, among other things, for a ‘More equitable’ split of playoff funds among teams participating in the Memorial, Allan and Alexander Cup playoffs. It will also incorporate several revisions in the clauses dealing with ‘Tampering” with players and transfer of players between Eastern and Western Canada, which is banned under the present set-up. The pact between the NHL and the…
