Canadiens Find Cataracts Fine Source For Players To Replace Injured Stars
MONTREAL, Que.— Shawinigan Falls, a busy industrial town on the St. Maurice River, is more than 100 miles from Montreal. But members of the Canadiens’ top farm club, the Cataracts of the Quebec Hockey League, have been so busy hurrying back and forth to help the injury-riddled Habs that the management might be justified in applying for commutation tickets.

Durham is the toughest…
