SPORTS DIGEST
(Toronto Globe & Mail) IF ANY MAN has just cause to seek transfer of his headquarters from Montreal to any other city in North America that man is Clarence Campbell, president of the National Hockey League. Yet he sees no reason for pulling up stakes in the tra-ditional headquarters city of the professional sport. President Campbell who has been subjected to tremendous political pressure and vituperation by a somewhat insane segment of the population, realizes full well that he would enjoy a more relaxed life if his operations were centred in any other city. Yet he sincerely believes his office should remain in Montreal. Campbell bases his arguments on his belief that Montreal as a whole is proud of its hockey heritage and in the interest of developing racial tolerance he wants no…
Future Of Pittsburgh Hornets Cloudy As Harris Remains Mum
PITTSBURGH, Pa.— Season’s end being at hand, it appears legitimate to do a bit of thinking on the future of Pittsburgh’s hockey Hornets—and with matters as they are, such considerations loom as rather more than idle phantasms. As all know who care to know, the Hornets, operated for about two decades by celebrated Steel City showman John H. Harris, are a farm force of the National Lea-gue Toronto Maple Leafs.

Indeed, even Mathers, Mayer, and other actual Hornet contractées could undoubtedly be made available to…
Kitchener Dutchmen Given Edge To Regain Allan Cup After Ousting Greyhounds
STRATFORD, Ont.— Kitchener Dutchmen, OHA champions and winners of the all-Ontario senior “A” hockey championship, are conceded an edge to regain the Allan Cup this season, which they won two seasons ago, following their conquest of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. Greyhounds, NOHA champions, by a 6-1 score in the seventh and final game. The consensus of opinion in Ontario, prior to the Dutchmen-Greyhound series was that the survivors would take Canadian honors, and the opinion has not changed any. The Soo-Kitchener series proved a see-saw affair, as the rival teams exchanged wins in the first six games, but when the chips were down the better balance and more solidity of the Dutchmen asserted itself. The balance in power was clearly demonstrated in the last game, when two Kitchener defencemen scored goals, while the…
