Pavelich Directs Soo Baseball School
SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont.— What should an NHL star do when he returns to his home-town for the summer? That may pose a problem for many big-time hockey stars. Not for energetic Marty (Sabu) Pavelich of Detroit Red Wing fame. He returned to his hometown of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, this summer to play a big role in developing minor baseball, conducting a special baseball school for all young boys in the city and district and even helping coach a bantam baseball team. And if this wasn’t enough, Marty returned to the coaching duties of Lock City Beverages, the leading senior baseball team he led to the International championship last year. The City’s Great Idol To say that Marty Pavelich is an idol among the younger boys of this fine, sports-minded community would…
Eddolls Signs On Again But Not Sure If He’ll Continue As A Player
BUFFALO. NY— Frank Eddolls, Hockey News Coach of the Year award winner, has signed his third one-year contract as bench boss of the Buffalo Bisons, regular season champions of the American League.

THE FAN FORUM
A Hopeful Hawk Dear Sir: Chicago hockey fans are beginning to get a little hope for a good team next season as the Hawks seem to be making some good deals. But, the proof is in the pudding and not what goes into making it and we’re hoping we don’t end up with a bunch of spoiled grapes. One line that I would like to see is McIntyre, Sullivan, and Hildebrand. Considering Sullivan’s record of assists, McIntyre’s scoring potential and Hildebrand’s fighting spirit, it would be quite an experiment to say the least. Last season, when the Hawks traded Bodnar to Boston, everyone was quite disgusted with the whole deal as Gus was one of the best poke-checkers on the team. Gus was also a good center and was sorely missed. But, may be…
