N.Y.&mdash;Right Wing, the weakest forward position on last year&rsquo;s Buffalo team, may well produce a goal scoring total that will be tough for any American League club to match.Even with the season only in its infancy, it is obvious that Coach Harry Watson&rsquo;s starboard flankers are a formidable group around opposition nets.<h2>Moves Corcoran</h2>Watson, impressed by the training camp performance of rookie Les Lilley, even moved Norm Corcoran, a right winger normally, to center to make full use of the lanky lad&rsquo;s potential.<h2>Produce</h2>Lilley quickly rewarded Watson&rsquo;s faith in him by getting two goals in the Bisons opener against Rochester. In the same game, Wally Hergeisheimer debuted in Herd raiment with a goal.While Lilley, due to his youth and comparative lack of pro experience, wag a question mark, there was no doubting Hergy&rsquo;s ability around the goalmouth.A healty Hergesheimer is capable of scoring goals in any league. He&rsquo;s proven it.Along with Lilley and Hergesheimer, Watson has converted center Ken Wharram patrolling the right boards. It took only to the second game, against Providence, for canny Kenneth to find the sniping range. He clicked for a brace against the Reds.<h2>5 Of 8</h2>With five of eight goals tallied in the two games coming from the right side, it would appear that Watson will be more abundantally blessed in that position than was his predecessor Frank Eddolls, who didn&rsquo;t have a single 20 goal man there last year.The closest any of the long list tried at the position was 19 goals, scored by Chuck Blair.<h2>Wharram Pleased</h2>Wharram, who led the Bisons in scoring each of his three paigns with the club, has particularly pleased with switching of his position.With less puck handling, slight-built Wharram is sure that he&rsquo;ll wear better on the right side.&ldquo;A wingman doesn&rsquo;t have to do as much skating and has a smaller area to cover.&rdquo; Wharram explains. &ldquo;That should give him a bit more in reserve for when he gets a breakway pass.&rdquo;<h2>Prolific</h2>Wharram also is shooting a specific goal this year. He&rsquo;s out to lead the AHL in goals. His 88 goals total for the last three seasons put him well up among the best over that span. &#9632;

His Majesty, The King…

<div class="byline">By KEITH ARMSTRONG</div>WINNIPEG, Man.&mdash;The Winnipeg Warriors will open their Western Hockey League schedule this week with twelve new faces still in camp from last year&rsquo;s dismal last place finishers.Coach Alf Pike and owner Jack Perrin were faced with a tremendous rebuilding program as they found themselves without an N.H.L. tie-up. The Warriors entered the W. H.L. two seasons ago and with the player help coming from the Mom real Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs they went on and captured Western honors and defeated Montreal Royals to win the Edinburg Cup. Last season with the Habs and Leafs still providing the players the Braves finished dead last in the Prairie Division and set a league record for losses in doing so.<h2>Agreement Ended</h2>Owner Jack Perrin was none too pleased with the standing of his club and felt that the N.H.L. clubs had broken their contract with him to provide 15 players of Western League calibre or better. Just recently he filed a law suit against the two clubs. Hence, the Habs and Leafs did not renew their agreement with I he Warriors.<h2>Goal</h2>In goal the Warriors will have youthful Ray Mikulan, a 23-year-old Winnipeg boy. who has spent two seasons with the Vancouver Canucks. Property of the New York Rangers, Mikulan compiled a 3.25 goals against average, along with four shutouts, with the last place Canucks in the Coast Division of the western wheel.<h2>Defense</h2>Up until this past week the Warriors found themselves very thin on defense. The only experienced pro along the blueline was holdover Danny Summers who has spent two years with the Warriors after several seasons in the A.H.L. Coach Alf Pike has converted the veteran A.H.L. rightwinger Pete Kapusta to a defenseman. Kapusta a Winnipegger. spent 11 seasons in Providence livery and was with Three Rivers last season. His contract was purchased outright.<h2>Help</h2>Owner Perrin has had the telephone lines buzzing this past week and has come up with hardrock Frank Arnett, a former Manitoba Junior Leaguer, from the Cleveland Barons. Arnett toiled on the blueline for North Bay Trappers last season. He also received Kent Douglas from Springfield Indians, Ken Willey from New York Rangers via the Memorial Cup champion Flin Flon Bombers and picked up Don McGregor a 23-year-old local boy who played with Sault St. Marie Indians last season in the N.O.H.A. A big surprise in camp last week the appearance of defenseman Mickey Keating from the Montreal Canadiens camp. Keating, a local lad. was with the Warriors in their first season and toiled with Rochester and Montreal Royals last season. Due to a illness in his family, he has been given permission by the Montreal Canadiens to play in Winnipeg despite the law suit.<h2>First</h2>The forward lines will see holdover Earl Ingarfield centering sophomore holdover Gordie Redahl, a left-winger, and rookie Eddie Jamieson a burly 200-pound right-winger up from the Winnipeg Monarchs Jrs. Ingarfield and Redahl are on loan from the New York Rangers.<h2>Second</h2>The second line sees rookie Art Stratton, who was with the North Bay Trappers last season on loan from the Cleveland Barons centering another rookie on the left side from Cleveland in Ross &ldquo;Butch&rdquo; Graham and the veteran holdover Bill Mosienko on the right boards. Both Stratton and Mosienko are Winnipeggers.<h2>Third</h2>The third unit sees another rookie Brian Derrett. a tall boy, who has graduated to pro ranks from the Winnipeg Baron Jrs. centering Bruce Lea. a left-winger obtained from Detroit Red Wings via Seattle Americans and Howie Glover, a rookie right-winger from the Cleveland Barons via North Bay Trappers. This line accounted for all three goals in the Warriors 4-3 exhibition game loss against the highly-regarded Vancouver Canucks. Glover scored all three goals with Derrett assisting on three and Lea on two goals.Two holdovers, left-winger Murray Wilkie and right-winger George Ford make up the balance of the squad. Since the club can only dress four defensemen and nine forwards, three blueliners and two forwards will have to be cut.Summing up his club&rsquo;s chances coach Alf Pike said, &ldquo;we should be stronger at the start than last year. Our defence is starting to shape up and am quite pleased with our forward lines. There is no doubt that we will be much stronger in the nets.&rdquo; &#9632;

Winnipeg Warriors Continue Rebuilding Without Aid From NHL

<div class="byline">By CHICK APPEL</div>Owen Sound and Stratford Fold In Sr. A But Junior B Thrives With 14 EntriesSTRATFORD, Ont.&mdash;Alarmed over the decline in the number of senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; hockey teams, especially in western Canada, the Canadian Aamateur Hockey Association, at its last annual meeting, enacted legislation whereby senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; teams in the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta would be permitted to add six players from within their respective groups for the Allan Cup playdowns. At present there are no senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; teams in these three provinces, while right here in Ontario the number has been reduced from nine to six, making an amalgamation of the NOHA southern group and the OHA almost compulsory.When the concession was extended to the three western provinces. the northern group of the NOHA claimed that it. too, should be permitted to add six players for the Allan Cup playdowns, but so far nothing has been done about their request.<h2>SIX DROP OUT</h2>Whether senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; hockey runs in cycles, like other classifications apparently do, is a question, but it is worth nothing that in the last five years Soo, Mich., Brantford, Niagara Falls Sarnia. Owen Sound and Stratford have dropped out, leaving only Kitchener. Chatham and Windsor in western Ontario and Sudbury, North Bay and Soo, Ont. in the southern section of the NOHA. The northern section of the NOHA is still intact, but actually these teams are hardly of senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; calibre and art defeated regularly with comparative ease by the southern section winners.<h2>BRIGHT SPOT</h2>The one bright spot, of course, in the senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; puck picture is the eastern Ontario group where five clubs face the barrier this season from Whitby, Belleville, Kingston, Cornwall and Pembroke. This will be their second season in senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; company, and much was added to interest down east when Whitby Dunlops won the Allan Cup during the 1956-57 season, the first year of operation for the eastern league.<h2>HIGH COST</h2>There is little doubt why six teams were forced to withdraw from senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; hockey, three of them this season. Excessive operational expenses have been the bugbear, with clubs piling up costs of as much as $7 5,000.<h2>OWEN SOUND STORY</h2>Owen Sound Mercurys, for instance, operated successfully for a number of years on a share-the-wealth basis, whereby the players received a token payment per game to cover traveling expenses and shared in the profits at the conclusion of the season. This Worked all right while the Owen Sound fans supported the team, and at one time each player received as much as $2,200 for his season&rsquo;s services. But then patronage fell off and reached such a stage last season that some games in Owen Sound attracted only 300 paying customers. Confronted with that situation, the Owen Sound club realized it could do nothing but call it quits.<h2>STRATFORD STORY</h2>Stratford Indians encountered much the same problem last year, when the deficit was over $15,0 00 on an operation which cost $56,000. When no sponsor could be found for the team this season, the players took it upon themselves to operate the club, with the aid of financial support from local businessmen, and while the response was encouraging it was insufficient to warrant, going ahead with the entry, even through the players were prepared to render their services for a nominal sum and gamble for more on a split at the end of the season. The plan just did not prove feasible in a city of 20,000 population, and where the average attendance last season was just slightly over 1,500.<h2>&ldquo;B&rdquo; BOOM</h2>A new deal has cropped up in western Ontario, where five former senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; centers are now competing in lower OHA classifications. either senior &ldquo;B&rdquo; or junior &ldquo;B&rdquo;. Sarnia and Niagara Falls are now icing senior &ldquo;B&rdquo; teams and Brantford. Owen Sound and Stratford have entered junior &ldquo;B&rdquo; competition.In fact, junior &ldquo;B&rdquo; hockey seems to be coming into its own in western Ontario, where the number of entries has been increased this season from ten to fourteen. The newcomers are Brantford, Galt. Goderich and Stratford. The increased entry made it necessary to divide the 14 teams into two groups, with Galt, Guelph, Kitchener, Waterloo, Brantford, Burlington and Owen Sound in the eastern group and Stratford. London Woodstock, St. Marys, Sarnia Goderich and Seaforth in the western group.Some of these clubs intend to operate with strictly homebrew players, while others are sponsored or have working arrangements with pro clubs and will be bolstered by some outside talent chattels of the pro clubs.Some of the clubs are being sponsored by the minor hockey association in their respective centers, who believe that junior &lsquo;B&rdquo; hockey should be a part of their organization, because then the young players exceeding the juvenile age limit have the opportunity of continuing in the sport in their home towns, and not be forced to go out of town. This to date has been the case in Galt, Brantford and Stratford.<h2>OPERATION CHEAPER</h2>Operation of a junior &ldquo;B&rdquo; team will not entail anything like the amount of money needed for &ldquo;A&rdquo; hockey, although one junior &ldquo;B&rdquo; club is said to have had a $7,000 budget last season. Another team reported travelling expenses of $4,000, but it probably was either Owen Sound or Sarnia, both of which are outside the compact group, and last year encountered costly road trips because they were in the same group.Patronage will not equal that of senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; hockey, nor do the junior &ldquo;B&rdquo; clubs expect it, yet Sarnia attracted as many as 2,500 for playoff games last season, and that, is about capacity for the Sarnia Arena. None of the junior &ldquo;B&rdquo; clubs hopes to make any money, although such would be quite acceptable. The aim is to make ends meet, which some of them did last season.<h2>DANGER</h2>The chief danger right now seems to be that pro-sponsored clubs might ruin the present set up by forsaking the good of the sport in favor of achampionship, by using imports, but such players are limited to two, and the belief right now is that junior &ldquo;B&rdquo; hockey is due for a rousing revival this season.It is known that in Galt. Brantford and Stratford interest is great and the new junior &ldquo;B&rdquo; OHA league is being greeted with enthusiasm by fans who have been following and accustomed to senior &ldquo;A&rdquo; or junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; hockey. The homebrew angle is most appealing to the fans, who feel that their own youngsters have, been neglected 5 much too long in OHA competition. &#9632;

Jr. B Hockey Booms In Western Ont. Senior A Squeezed Out By High Cost

<div class="byline">By RON LAPLANTE</div>Achievement Rated Equal To Ruth MarkMONTREAL, Que.&mdash;Hockey&rsquo;s all-time greatest, goal scorer has recorded another landmark.Maurice, the Rocket Richard scored the 500th goal of his career on Saturday Oct. 19 against the Chicago Black Hawks at the Montreal Forum.<h2>Contribution Equals Ruth&rsquo;s</h2>Sports observers agree that this staggering 500 total is by comparison every bit as great an achievement as the lifetime home run production of baseball&rsquo;s immortal Babe Ruth. In effect, the Rocket is to hockey, what the Babe was to baseball.<h2>Richard an Era</h2>Before the Richard an era, the late Nels Stewart, with a lifetime output of 324 goals, was the game&rsquo;s greatest scorer. But another current super star, Detroit&rsquo;s great right winger, Cord Howe has also bettered the Stewart mark. Howe, the game&rsquo;s second all-time greatest goal scorer has 354, 146 less than Richard.Howe is regarded as the only current candidate with even a remote chance of catching or surpassing Richard.<h2>Still Scoring</h2>Howe is 29, Richard 36. But the remarkable thing about Richard is that at 36 he is still playing the game and scoring goals in awesome fashion. If he were to maintain his current production seven goals in six games), he would score a fantastic 82 goals this season. It is not reasonable to expect 82 goals even from Richard but the point is that he is still active and showing not the slightest sign of losing his unsurpassed goal scoring talents.But goal scoring is not the only Richard talent.<h2>Richard Flair</h2>He also possesses that rare dramatic quality of exciting crowds into near hysteria every time he carries the puck His style is that electrifying and explosive. It seems that when he is in enemy territory he becomes possessed, his flashing eyes grasp the situation at a glance, his jet black hair streaks toward the goal, an overpowering acceleration quality that he seems to save for these occasions leaves defenders intercepting the air, and finally his deadly she disturbs the peaceful symmetry of the drooping twine.It is this flair for the dramatic, the spectacular, that has captured the imagination of millions.<h2>Last Goal</h2>Will Richard remember number 500 over all others?&ldquo;No&rdquo;, says the Rocket, &ldquo;I think I will remember my last goal more vividly than all others.&rdquo;Richard&rsquo;s objective now?Coach Toe Blake answers that one: &ldquo;Now he can set his sights, on 600.&rdquo; &#9632;

RICHARD SETS 500 LANDMARK

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0002-01" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-01422/2019351-1-eng-US/f0002-012.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body">Best Season Yet?Fleming Mackell</figcaption></div>Bruin Winger Playing At Better Than Ever Pace At This Stage Of The CampaignBOSTON, Mass.&mdash;A backfiring summertime training program is playing an important part in the fine start being made by Fleming Mackell of the Boston Bruins.Mackell is in his ninth season as a National leaguer, and it may be his best.If it is, he&rsquo;s ready to give part of the credit to his summertime programme with its unexpected developments.Mackell, on the stocky side, has always had to think about his weight in the off-season. He knew from experience that he used to play his best at 170 pounds.<h2>Fast Pace</h2>The past tense in reference to his weight is a necessity, because the veteran left wing is playing at a better-than-ever pace this fall at 180 pounds.Is there a connection between the better play and the pickup in weight? Mackell, a 2 2-goal scorer and Stanley Cup playoff star a season ago, thinks so.<h2>Stronger</h2>Explains Fleming:&ldquo;At the risk of jinxing myself I&rsquo;ve never felt as good as I have been felling this fall, and I&rsquo;m convinced that this added 10 pounds is helping me. I seem to be doing better in the corners and in other situations where a little extra strength would come in handy in the past.&rdquo;But what of the added weight? How is it associated with his summertime training?<h2>Programme</h2>&ldquo;I decided during the summer I&rsquo;d put myself through a complete conditioning programme so I&rsquo;d be ready for the start of our practices,&rdquo; related the Hingham resident. &ldquo;You know, the Bruins&rsquo; practices are no place for a fellow who has been taking it easy.&ldquo;I went to the Quincy YMCA and signed up for a series of workouts to keep myself fit. Since my summertime job was as a sales representative I wanted something good and rugged.<h2>Bicycle And Weights</h2>&ldquo;So I signed up for one course of workouts on a stationary bicycle on which the leg resistance could be increased from day to day. And still thinking about keeping my weight steady I decided I&lsquo;d go into a body building course with weights, too.<h2>Legs And Chest</h2>&ldquo;Well, the bicycle was just great for my legs,&rdquo; continued Mackell, &ldquo;and do you know what the body building did? It added 10 pounds to my chest, arms and shoulders and took nearly two inches off my waistline.&ldquo;Honestly, the first couple of times I got on the scales I thought there was something wrong with them,&rdquo; he went on, grinning at the recollection, &ldquo;but I found out what was going on when I had to have my trousers taken in around the waist. It was hard to believe, but there it was.&rdquo;<h2>Results</h2>The Mackell fitness was obvious to those who watched the Bruins in exhibition games and practices before the start of the National league season, and once they began their schedule the veteran&rsquo;s bustle and hustle were evident to all.Mackell scored goals in each of the Bruins&rsquo; first two games and probably played more than any other forward.<h2>Others</h2>Fleming isn&rsquo;t the first Bruin to benefit by a body building course but he&rsquo;s the first in several years and he may be the first forward.A similar course made a real bruiser out of Warren Godfrey the summer before the present Detroit Red Wings&rsquo; defenseman joined the Bruins and a year after the Godfrey buildup Defenseman Bob Armstrong of the Bruins used a course to good advantage.Mackell, to be sure, is benefitting by an unexpected result but he&rsquo;s too old a hockey hand to look such a gift horse in the mouth.The Bruins, who didn&rsquo;t win until their third game a year ago and didn&rsquo;t own four points until they had played five games, returned a quicker profit this time out.They beat the Chicago Black Hawks and New York Rangers in their first two games for a four-point cleanup, beating New York with President Clarence Campbell looking on. The National league president came here to present the Frank Calder Memorial trophy to Larry Regan, Maekel&rsquo;s linemate, as last season&rsquo;s rookie of the year.The crowds for the first two games ran more than 3,500 ahead of those for the first two a year ago, when the Bruins played to more than 433,000 during their regular home schedule, an all-time Garden record. &#9632;

Mackell Transfers Excess Weight From Waist To Shoulders

<div class="byline">By ROGER BARRY</div>BOSTON, Mass.&mdash;The Chicago Black Hawks just may not be the big spenders of major league hockey.The Boston Bruins may rate more serious consideration for the distinction.Much has been made of the sums expended by Arthur Wirtz and Jim Norris in their rebuilding of the Black Hawks.Little has been made of the sums spent by the Bruins to beef up their ever-expanding organization.That&rsquo;s probably because the Bruins have never revealed the amounts they&rsquo;ve been spending&mdash;until the other day.The other day Manager Lynn spent for players in one brief period to supplement the talent brought into the Bruins&rsquo; system by other means.For the period of the past 16 months the Bruins have spent $147,500 for new players. That&rsquo;s not for development, training or anything else but for the services of players with other affiliations prior to purchase.&ldquo;That&rsquo;s right, $147,500 in 16 months,&rdquo; reaffirnies Patrick, &ldquo;and that&rsquo;s money actually spent. That doesn&rsquo;t include the value of players whom we have sent to other teams as part of transactions. I haven&rsquo;t figured their value, but we&rsquo;ve included seven players in transactions during the same period.&ldquo;Those figures give a good indication of the scope of the Bruins&rsquo; hockey operation.&rdquo; added the Bruins&rsquo; manager. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re building and we&rsquo;ll continue to build. I&rsquo;m proud to say we&rsquo;re getting results for our investments.&rdquo;Patrick lists the following players as those for whom the Bruins have laid out the 147-grand:<h2>$ Talent $</h2>Goalies Don Simmons of the Bruins and Claude Dufour of Springfield.Defensemen Jack Bionda, Allan Stanley and Larry Hillman of the Bruins and Jean Picard of Quebec.Forwards Larry Regan. Bronco Horvath and Jack Caffery of the Bruins, Buddy Boone, Stan Baluik, Norman Johnson and BillO&rsquo;Ree of Springfield and Stan Maxwell of Quebec.Amateurs Normand Jacques, Bernard Cote, Guy Black, Jacques Dufour and Jean Mentis.<h2>Not Fair</h2>The Bruins&rsquo; boss declined to break down the six-figure expenditure in terms of individual players (It wouldn&rsquo;t be fair to them.&rdquo;), and he did not apply the seven-player investment against newcomers the departees helped pay for.But checking buck on past announcements the announced price for the talented Simmons from Springfield was &ldquo;cash and two players&rdquo;, and the announcement of the acquisition of Boone from the same team detailed &ldquo;cash and two players&rdquo; as his cost.<h2>Justified</h2>Patrick&rsquo;s revelations created surprise here but the progress of the Bruins under his direction obviously supports the wisdom of the expenditures.A few years ago the Bruins were so pinched for talent that the varsity had to scrimp for manpower on occasions so there&rsquo;d be enough to spread around the rest of the outfit.The personnel cupboard still isn&rsquo;t bursting at the seams, but it has lost that empty look it used to have.Patrick may not be the last of the big spenders, but he just may be the biggest spender of moment in major league hockey.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0002-02404/2019382-1-eng-US/f0002-022.jpg" title="f0002-02" width="516" height="840"><figcaption class="caption-body">Big SpenderLynn Patrick</figcaption></div> &#9632;

Is Boston Hockey’s Biggest Spender?

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0003-02" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0003-02341/2019413-1-eng-US/f0003-022.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body">Glenn Hall</figcaption></div>Hall Has Deep Admiration For Departed Al Rollins. &ldquo;I Consider It A Real Honor To Get This Chance To Fill His Job.&rdquo;CHICAGO, Ill.&mdash;It is rather normal to suspect a hockey star suddenly traded away from a perennial title conten der to a last place club to find little favor with such a switch. Some have retired, simply run out or&mdash;worse yet&mdash;merely slacked away from giving their all in competition hoping for another change.Such is not the case, however, with talented Glenn Hall, the new Black Hawk netminder who earned All-Star honors just last season with Detroit. You ask that key question and he sits back, looks at you and gives the answer with a sincerity that too few people exhibit these days.<h2>&ldquo;Welcome&rdquo;</h2>&ldquo;I was very happy to learn of my trade to Chicago. Tommy Ivan got in touch with me almost immediately by phone to offer his best wishes and welcome,&rdquo; says the lifetime resident of Humboldt, Sask. You can tell the way he says it that he means each and every word.<h2>Admires Rollins</h2>&ldquo;He let a good many pucks by during his 5 years with the Hawks and I suppose some thought that Al Rollins wasn&rsquo;t the best as NHL goalies go, but for my money he has always been great and I consider it a real honor to get this chance to fill his job. I only hope I can make the grade.&rdquo;Thus quite suddenly and voluntarily entered the modest phase of the personality of the new Hawk net guardian who, unlike many other players, is just as quiet, placid and unassuming in the thick of hockey action as be is just chatting while unpacking in his new west side Chicago apartment.<h2>Likes Fans</h2>&ldquo;I like the fans here. I&rsquo;ve heard they can be pretty demanding and let you know it quickly when they&rsquo;re not satisfied with what you&rsquo;re doing. They can really give you a lift when they start cheering and the whole Chicago Stadium seems like it&rsquo;s shaking.&rdquo;They wasted little time showing Glenn how they felt right on opening night when be turned in a 1 to 0 shutout over Toronto. &ldquo;I had scarcely met any of them yet, but when the horn sounded to end the game and I heard the cheering I couldn&rsquo;t keep from feeling that I already belonged,&rdquo; says Hall.<h2>Left Hand</h2>Glenn Hall&rsquo;s goaltending success, in addition to the sort of unpretentious confidence that he carries into every game, stems primarily from his speed to maneuver and the lightning action of his now famous left hand.Although he was officially credited with 108 shots against in his first 3 Hawk games, Glenn feels that, he&rsquo;s not being tested any more khan he was at. Detroit where the defense has generally been rated a little stronger. &ldquo;I like to be in on the play as much as possible,&rdquo; he admits.<h2>Spirit</h2>&ldquo;Any goalie, I imagine, enjoys handling and stopping as many pucks as possible. The ones that get by we simply try to forget as quickly as possible unless we&rsquo;re thinking about how we&rsquo;ll not let the same sort of shot elude again. The main thing I like about this team is the spirit.&rdquo;<h2>Humboldt All The Way</h2>Glenn Hall was born in Humboldt October 3, 1931, and has never mentioned any other town as home And as he began to advance in age and experience with hockey it was only right that he try for the Humboldt Junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; club then coached by Don McIntyre.He had little trouble convincing McIntyre that lie was the best young goaltender around and the Detroit organization saw things the same way. Club spokesmen succeeded in getting Hall on the Red Wing roster in 1948 while he was still starring in the Humboldt nets in his final season of junior eligibility.<h2>Windsor</h2>The followng 2 years found Hall playing creditably with Detroit&rsquo;s junior affiliate just across the river at Windsor. The front office then offered Glenn his first professional contract and he was assigned with their No. 1 farm club, the old Indianapolis Caps of the American League.<h2>Edmonton</h2>Unfortunately, the Capitols folded the next season and Glenn moved west to start what turned out to be 3 very successful years with Edmonton, the Red Wings affiliate in the Western League. His work with the Flyers under Bud Poile was all lie needed.<h2>Impressive</h2>He turned in 5 shutouts in the high scoring circuit in 1954-55 and climaxed the year with some terrifc work in the Duke of Edinburgh trophy series. He racked up another zero while holding opponents to a mere 2 goals per game. His average throughout the season was an admirable 2.83.<h2>Ready</h2>Detroit then decided that Hall was ready and called him up to the NHL for good the following season after Terry Sawchuk was peddled to Boston. Actually, Jack Adams, Wing general manager, had a pretty good idea of what to expect before Hall began the&rsquo; 55-56 National League campaign.Glenn had been summoned to the Wings on 2 separate occasions before for a total of 8 games and his play in each was little short of sensational. The combination of both visits to NHL competition found him allowing only 12 goals for a fine 2.5 average. To top things off he racked up a shutout.His first full campaign with the Motor City crew was ample proof that Glenn belonged in the big time. Going the entire, punishing 70-game route, he emerged with a goals against average that brought many envying glances&mdash;2.11. Furthermore, he accounted for 12 shutouts to equal Sawchuk&rsquo;s club record.<h2>Ivan Convinced</h2>He brings all this impressive past and more we haven&rsquo;t had room to mention to the Black Hawks this year. Glenn has the solid endorsement of General, Manager-Coach Tommy Ivan who says. &ldquo;I had plenty of time to watch him during several Detroit training camps. I&rsquo;m firmly convinced he has what it takes.&rdquo; &#9632;

Chicago Buddies

<div class="byline">By BUD BOOTH</div>CHICAGO, Ill.&mdash;If all his non-hockey time were his own to dispose of as he desired Glenn Hall, Chicago&rsquo;s sparkling netminder, would more often than not probably be found touring and perhaps even working a grain field. &ldquo;Farming is what I&rsquo;d like to do most outside of hockey,&rdquo; he declares.We saw a spot we liked very much a couple of years ago and I came close to closing the deal right then for 160 acres near home at Humboldt. Sask. You have to ask yourself, however, will you be able to make it pay for itself for too many farms are in financial troubles these days.&rdquo;<h2>Got Urge Young</h2>Glenn got the farming urge as he grew up and spent considerable time on his grandparent&rsquo;s place near home. The son of Hank and Agnes Hall, a couple of pretty well known folks in and around Humboldt, Glenn also has an older brother, Doug now a math and science teacher on the high school level.<h2>Dad IS Fan</h2>&ldquo;Dad&rsquo;s still the real sports bug of the family though.&rdquo; reveals the Hawk goalie. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s been a train engineer for 30 years or more with the Canadian National Railways and I guess a locomotive cab will always be his 2nd home just like a hockey rink is mine.&rdquo;<h2>Wife Was Nurse</h2>The Hall family began adding members when Glenn married his pert better half, Pauline, during his stardom period at Edmonton. They met through mutual distant relatives. She is a native of Kelvington which isn&rsquo;t too far from Humboldt, where she went through nurse&rsquo;s training.<h2>Winter In Chicago</h2>Their son, Patrick, is now and figures to be trying on his first set of goaltending pads any day now, asserts Glenn. Pauline and young Pat only recently arrived to supervise the setting up of the winter household in Chicago.<h2>One Weakness</h2>While the desire to become a man of the soil still burns within the Glenn Hall mind there&rsquo;s at least one place that lie doesn&rsquo;t like to come across humus. That&rsquo;s the golf course where he likes to spend summer leisure-time. He denies he&rsquo;s that good, but friends say he&rsquo;s low-89 performer. &#9632;

“Farming Is What I’d Like To Do Outside Of Hockey”… Hall

<div class="byline">By RON LAPLANTE</div>MONTREAL, Que.&mdash;Saturday, October 19 belongs to Maurice Richard in Montreal. No one else comes even a close second.It was on this day that this unequalled hockey player, this amazing performer, this idolized man, colorful, explosive, exciting, dashing, throw the dictionary at him, reached a milestone thatperhaps will never be equalled. At 15.32 in the first period The Rocket scored the 500th goal in his NHL career in regular season play. Many lines have already been written on the significance of this feat. Suffice it to say that no past performers have even approched the mark, and no current performers, even if they maintain their present outputs will even threaten the achievement.Of course Montrealers have been talking about Richard, reaching the 500 mark for years. But in the past few weeks it became serious business, and in the past few days, occupational.The Rocket scored no. 499 midway in the third period on Thursday night against Toronto at The Forum.After that, Montreal fans became obsessed with the prospect of no. 500. A distinct mumbling undercurrent permeated the Fodum, even when the great man was not on the ice. And when he stepped on the ice for his regular turn, the tete-a-tete conversations turned into thunderous roars.But The Rocket was to score no. 500 on Saturday, October 19.Seldom have soldiers, statesmen, or other sportsmen captured the public imagination the way Maurice Richard has in Montreal and Quebec. Men, women, and children in every endeavour are aware of him. It would not be inaccurate to say that on October 19 almost everyone in the province of Quebec, sometime during the day either discussed or thought about Richard and his imminent accomplishment.A capacity crowd filled the Forum, not to see the Montreal Canadiens play the Chicago Black Hawke, but rather to see Maurice Richard score his 500th goal.Even before the game started, The Rocket was given a rousing ovation when he first stepped on the ice. The ovation subsided but the buzzing continued. This crowd was alive, electric, waiting to erupt!Richard gave his admirers some anxious moments quickly after the opening faceoff. Only spectacular work by Glenn Hall prolonged the realization of the achievement.But the Richard line completely overwhelmed the Chicago defenders and even the stirring performance of Hall was dinted.It happened at 15.32 on a passout from Beliveau. The Rocket flicked his powerful wrists, and the twine bulged beautifully and the crowd went delirious with a sustained roar.The reaction of many reporters in the press box was a quick look upward. Presumably they were checking to see if the Forum roof was still on the building.The game resumed after the ice was cleaned but play after that was anticlimatic.When the ovation died down sufficiently, the public address system announcer trumpeted &ldquo;Goal by Monsieur Hockey! Maurice! Richard ! ! ! And again the great crowd roared in approval.Nothing else mattered. The Rocket had scored his 500th goal. &#9632;

PASSING THE PUCK

<div class="byline">By STAN HOUSTON</div>TORONTO, Ont.&mdash;The same Jack Adams who correctly forecast Sid Smith&rsquo;s downfall two seasons ago is this year wishing he had purchased the Toronto Maple Leaf left winger &ldquo;when the price was right last season.&rdquo;It was just as Smitty reached his National Hockey League peak with a 33-goal campaign in 1954-55 that the Detroit Red Wing General Manager put into words the feeling of many hockey observers. Smitty, he allowed, would never be the same again since his lifetime partner and playmaker, Ted Kennedy, was retiring.Inadvertably making a prophet of Adams. Smitty reached low ebb and in the succeeding two seasons scored only 21 goals&mdash;not even his average for any one previous campaign. Yet now, after Sidney has reached his lowest point. Adams is back to hail the Torontonian&rsquo;s comeback.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-01442/2019627-1-eng-US/f0005-012.jpg" title="f0005-01" width="283" height="419"><figcaption class="caption-body">Jack Adams</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-02408/2019620-1-eng-US/f0005-022.jpg" title="f0005-02" width="517" height="803"><figcaption class="caption-body">Sid Smith</figcaption></div><h2>Come Back</h2>Much more willingly this time, Smitty is on the right track to making Jovial Jawn a prophet again. Indeed, in his first start against Adams&rsquo; Red Wings, Muff fired two goals to account for two-thirds of the Leaf total in the club&rsquo;s initial two games.<h2>Adams Tribute</h2>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s a wonderful competitor, a good hockey player and a great guy to boot,&rdquo; Adams paid tribute after watching the driving winger&rsquo;s 32-year-old legs outlast those of his younger teammates on should have bought him when the price was right last season.&rdquo;Determination and relaxation the keys to Smitty&rsquo;s new lease on life. He is determined to crash the NHL&rsquo;s 200-goal club. And he is relaxed for the first time in three seasons.Currently the fourth highest goal scorer among active National Leaguers, albeit well removed from the Big Three, Muff needed only 14 goals to obtain his card in the 200-goal club after he fired those two against Detroit. And he is convinced he&rsquo;ll make it this season.<h2>Nothing More</h2>&ldquo;There&rsquo;s nothing I&rsquo;ve more wanted out of hockey, besides dirty old money, than reaching 20 goals, &ldquo;he says. &ldquo;And this could be my last chance, because I&rsquo;m no Rocket Richard who can go on and on and on. When I&rsquo;m this close. I&rsquo;d be a pretty sad guy if I didn&rsquo;t make it.&rdquo;Muff has left little doubt among Leaf followers that he will reach the objective long before the end of the season. In fact, the Toronto management sees signs of him duplicating his greatest year and firing more than double the necessary 14 goals.For evidence they can show Bid&rsquo;s autumn record, indeed his two goals in the second game of the season only maintained an incredible goal-per-game pace. He started the string in the final 10 days of training camp at Sudbury, continued it through Toronto&rsquo;s five pre-season exhibition games and has now carried it into the season.<h2>Feels food</h2>&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t really see myself getting 70 goals.&rdquo; the comedian of the Leaf club jokes about it. &ldquo;But another 14 or so is possible. I&rsquo;ll have to admit I haven&rsquo;t felt as good in years.&rdquo;<h2>Relaxation</h2>Toronto&rsquo;s happiness kick, with the accent on relaxation, is the reason Muff puts forward for his revitalized approach to the game.&ldquo;A relaxed athlete is always the best athlete,&rdquo; philosophizes Sid. &ldquo;But I&rsquo;ve been a strained athlete for a couple of years.&ldquo;It&rsquo;s just the difference in training techniques. We used to begin a workout with stops and starts, then scrimmage and wind up with stops and starts. Even before you got to scrimmaging, you were fatigued and so you were driving yourself.&ldquo;Now we start with a skate to loosen up then scrimmage and skate and scrimmage and skate. My legs haven&rsquo;t felt as strong in years. And I never seem to be pushing myself. I always feel I&rsquo;m playing well within myself. I&rsquo;m just plain relaxed.&rdquo;<h2>Mental Burden</h2>Smitty is also psychologically more relaxed. He admits that when Kennedy retired and he was named to succeed his old centre as team captain, he felt the distinction as a mental burden. And when he slipped from 33 goals to a crushing four goals that season, he was pressing to recover from the slump last season. While the recovery was not complete, his 17 goals were enough to convince him he hadn&rsquo;t forgotten completely how to score.<h2>Migay, Stewart</h2>Now he wants to give the credit for his resurgence to his linemates, Rudy Migay and Ron Stewart. Although Migay is another Kennedy as a workhorse and playmaker, nevertheless he is in no danger of becoming known as another crutch for Smitty. In fact, he wasn&rsquo;t even present when Smith&rsquo;s guns opened the current campaign.Along with Dick Duff and Frank Mahovlich, Rudy missed that initial game at Maple Leaf Gardens because of flu. The seventh Leaf to be stricken in the first week of the schedule, he had been the only centre capable of keeping the team&rsquo;s opening date in Chicago, when pivots Mahvolich. Billy Harris and Brian Cullen were all in sick bay. So grim was the Toronto outbreak before the team finally obtained vaccine Oct. 12 that defensemen Tim Horton and Al MacNeil had to play despite attacks.Yet while half the Leafs were fluing, Smith was flying. And regaining all the ground he lost and revising all opinions of his ability. &#9632;

Prophecy On Smith Revised By Adams; Aims For 200 Mark

<div class="byline">By STAN FISCHLER</div>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;Sputnik, the Edsel and Harry Howell have one thing in common&mdash;they&rsquo;re new.When, this season, handsome Harrison traded in his captain&rsquo;s jersey for a plain ole Ranger uniform he apparently shook the ghosts that have been bothering him and has become a different hockey player.Howell. 1957-58 deluxe model, has these features over the old-fashioned job.A bigger chassis&mdash;(he weighs 193 compared with 184 last year.Fast pickup&mdash;(he&rsquo;s in &ldquo;top shape&rdquo; and skating better than ever.)Wrap-around bumpers&mdash;(Harry&rsquo;s rougher than ever, rapping and bumping the opposition.)<h2>Club&rsquo;s Best</h2>Ranger GM Muzz Patrick unabashedly states that Harry was the &ldquo;best&rdquo; defenseman in the Blues&rsquo; first week of play.&ldquo;He was knocking guys on their behind,&rdquo; Patrick said. &ldquo;He got knocked on his a few times but the point is Harry is hitting.&ldquo;Phil and I have told him to play rough and that&rsquo;s what he&rsquo;s doing. I&rsquo;ve always said that if Harry plays up to his capability we&rsquo;ve got a terrific player.&rdquo;Thanks to Harry, who helped the Rangers home with a 1-1-1 road record&mdash;he also scored an important goal at Montreal&mdash;the Blues launched the season on a smart foot.Muzz wasn&rsquo;t the only chap lauding Howell. His teammates were noticing things too.&ldquo;Harry&rsquo;s a big guy and he can do a lot of hitting when he wants to,&rdquo; said Andy Bathgate. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s exactly what he&rsquo;s doing now.&rdquo;&ldquo;El Boffo&rdquo;, otherwise known as Lou Fontinato, refuses to take any credit for the new Howell although Louie is Harry&rsquo;s defensemate.&ldquo;He&rsquo;s doing it himself,&rdquo; Louie reported. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s hustling, that&rsquo;s what counts.&rdquo;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0005-03332/2019682-1-eng-US/f0005-032.jpg" title="f0005-03" width="526" height="535"><figcaption class="caption-body">Harry Howell</figcaption></div>&ldquo;Didn&rsquo;t you say anything to him,&rdquo; Louie was asked.&ldquo;Yeah,&rdquo; Fonty replied. &ldquo;I told Harry that I want to see him nail a couple of guys. He&rsquo;s doing okay.&rdquo;Relaxing in the Garden dressing room after a workout is a relaxed Howell. One finds a smiling hulk of a guy, a refreshing sight compared with last year&rsquo;s not-so-happy Harry.&ldquo;I feel good,&rdquo; he admits.&ldquo;This added weight has helped a lot. My first two years here I was up around 193, 194. Last year it was only 183 and the stamina was gone.&ldquo;I&rsquo;m hitting better and skating better.&rdquo;And by general consent, playing belter.RANGERABILIA: Blues have a &ldquo;Hank&rdquo; problem. Last year Larry Caban was dubbed Hauk&rdquo; for unknown reasons&hellip; Now they have an authentic &ldquo;Hank&rdquo; in Henry Ciesla&hellip; Phil Watson sports a Yankee baseball cap at practices, it&rsquo;s a gift from his pal Hank Bauer&hellip; Many of the Blues commented on Terry Sawchuk&rsquo;s poor effort against them in Detroit. &ldquo;He went down too much&rdquo; was the general remark&hellip; Some figure he&rsquo;ll improve after a few weeks&hellip;. Madison Square Garden&rsquo;s new look is almost complete. Balcony escalators have been completed. All that remains is a new marquee which now is blueprinted&hellip; Torn knee ligaments slowed Dave Creighton in the first weeks&hellip; Word around the clubhouse is that the Bruins will be one of the top three teams. &#9632;

NY Has New 57-58 Deluxe Model

<div class="byline">By STAN FISCHLER</div>NEW YORK, N.Y.&mdash;Whether they know it or not, the New York Rangers are on the threshold of a bonanza in New York.If they play their cards right&mdash;and win plenty of games&mdash;the Blues may achieve a position of sports eminence in the Gotham on a par with the New York baseball Yankees and New York football Giants.This is possible because of two factors: the departure of the Dodgers and Giants and the fact that New York hockey itself has been on the upgrade since file Muzz Patrick Phil Watson regime took over.It has been noted that since New York lost two major league baseball teams&mdash;and it is doubtful whether either will be replaced&mdash;grand avenues of publicity are open to the Rangers.<h2>VOID TO FILL</h2>Whereas reams and reams of copy were given over to the baseball clubs in Winter and Summer, there is a void to fill now. The Rangers should contribute heavily as a substitute where they never before got space.But equally if not more important is the Blues&rsquo; opportunity for prestige in the hearts of New York&rsquo;s vast sports population.<h2>STRUGGLE</h2>Hockey always have had an uphill struggle for prestige in New York. To begin with, the game is a foreign one, never played by the majority of New Yorkers. And it has had to compete with more entrenched attractions like college and pro football, basketball and baseball for the customer&rsquo;s favor.For a while after their debut in New York 32 years ago, the Rangers gained a solid foothold with Gothamites. The club generally was of superior calibre and the Rangers gradually became a household word with Mr. and Mrs. Sport.<h2>WAR ROUT</h2>Unfortunately, all the year&rsquo;s striving for this position of glory was routed during World War IIRangers were the misfits of the NHL, the laughing stock of New York sportdom. They drew crowds alright but so did the flea circus at the time.The improvement following the war years was only slight and not enongh to obliterate the carnage wreaked by four straight last place finishes.A big lift was provided by Patrick and Watson who combined for a third and fourth place finish in two consecutive years&mdash;something a Ranger fan wouldn&rsquo;t have dreamed of in other recent seasons.<h2>BIGGER THINGS</h2>Now there&rsquo;s a chance for even bigger things.New Korkers still are smarting over the loss of their &ldquo;impregnable&rdquo; Yankees. The football Giants have dropped a notch and the basketball Knickerbockers do not loom as league-beaters. Also, college football and basketball have lost favor.We know the Rangers can draw by staying in playoff contention. That, was proven over and over and as recently as last year. But now bigger things are being sought by their followers.No one, but no one, would like to attain this prestige for hockey in New York than Watson. He has passionately told this reporter how much be wants and believes this goal possible. It is almost a crusade with Phil.Never is it closer to being realized than this year.<h2>MATERIAL</h2>Blues lines have young material with potential for eminence. If they can be worked into a first or second place club the names of Bathgate, Worsley, Fontinato, et. al., will be mouthed by New Yorkers just as often and energetically as Mantle, Webster and Mays.Attaining this peak is a challenge to the players and the management. If they come near achieving it, there&rsquo;s no telling how far hockey can go in Newyork. &#9632;

National Baseball League Departure Sets Stage For Hockey Boom At N.Y.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

MONTREAL, QUE.&mdash;The past week was a highly successful one for the Richard brothers, Maurice and Henri of the Montreal Canadiens.Maurice made history with his 500th goal of his Because the Maurice achievement is such a monumental one, the Hockey News prefers to make him Player-of-the-Year or possibly of the Decade, rather than Player-of-the-Week.And so the selection for Player-of-the-week goes to Henri Richard.The 21 year old &ldquo;Pocket Rocket&rdquo; enjoyed the best week of his already brilliant professional career.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0007-03344/2019772-1-eng-US/f0007-032.jpg" title="f0007-03" width="268" height="424"></div>He scored two goals against Chicago on Tuesday night when the Habs tied the Hawks 3-3 and got a hat trick at home on Thursday night in the 9-3 rout of the Toronto Maple Leafs.This five goal output gets Henri off to the best start of his NHL career. In addition to his goals he has shown himself to be a superb playmaker and adequate back checker.If his fabulous big brother ever retires, the younger Henri has given every indication that he possesses the ability to maintain the great respect for the name Richard for many years to come. &#9632;

Canadiens Dominate N.H.L. Point Race After Two Weeks

<div class="byline">By HANS TANNER</div><div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-01497/2019827-1-eng-US/f0008-012.jpg" title="f0008-01" width="276" height="425"><figcaption class="caption-body">Paul Masnick</figcaption></div>ROCHESTER. N.Y.&mdash;It took the Rochester Americans exactly 24 days less this season than last to get into the win column in the American Hockey League.Coach Roly McLenahan&rsquo;s charges busted right out with a 5-4 victory over the Buffalo Bisons in Buffalo in the opening game of the season for both clubs.Last year it wasn&rsquo;t until November 4 that the Amerks finally posted a triumph, and it was November 7 before they won on enemy ice.<h2>Trouble At Center</h2>Despite the fine start, the Americans at present have a glaring weakness at center. Gone are the top two centers from last season&mdash;Bronco Horvath and Paul Masnick, who refused to sign his contract, has returned to his Regina home.&ldquo;Veteran&rdquo; centreman is Mike Nykoluk, who played in only 28 games with Rochester in 1956-57. At present, McLenahan also has Skippy Burchell from Winnipeg in the Western League and Ron Atwell, another youngster. Burchell is a good stickhandler and has a good shot, but he weighs in at only 142 pounds.<h2>Few Proven Scorers</h2>Although the Americans tallied five goals against substitute goalie Marv Edwards in their opener, McLenahan stilt doesn&rsquo;t have many proven high scorers. Ed (Spider) Mazur is the only one of last year&rsquo;s top four scorers on the team to return.The veteran Gordie Hannigan was dropped from the squad early in the Montreal training camp because he reportedly was overweight, and wasn&rsquo;t hustling.Horvath led the club in scoring last season with 81 points, followed by Mazur with 64, Masnick with 62 and Hannigan with 61.<h2>Girard</h2>The man being figured on to take up much of the slack is rookie winger Kenny Girard. He came up with two goals in the opener.ICICLES&mdash;First injury of the season knocked defenseman Benny Woit out of action for a week. He suffered torn ligaments in his left knee in the game in Buffalo. &ldquo;It was an odd one,&rdquo; Benny said later. &ldquo;It wasn&rsquo;t even a hard check. We were almost stopped when we came together, but I just caught my knee wrong.&rdquo;&hellip; If McLenahan doesn#8217;t receive any center help from Toronto or Montreal, he&rsquo;ll switch winger Gary Aldcorn to that spot.Skippy Burchell&rsquo;s wife presented him their fourth baby girl early on the morning of October 11&hellip; Gerry McNeil hasn&rsquo;t slowed up any according to Woit, who played against him for four seasons in the NHL. The addition of McNeil as the Amerks&rsquo; goalie just prior to the opening of the season plugged the biggest gap in the Rochester armor. &#9632;

Rochester Suffers At Center; Masnick Returns To Regina

<div class="byline">By GEOFFREY FISHER</div>CLEVELAND, Ohio&mdash;Barons&rsquo; General Manager James C. Hendy today called for stronger hockey legislation aimed at curbing violent uprisings such as erupted in the home opener here between the Hershey Bears and Cleveland Barons Wednesday, Oct. 9.Hendy declared that it is his thought that a player who is given a game misconduct penalty should be automatically barred from hockey for from one to three games, depending upon the severity of the infraction.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-03348/2019896-1-eng-US/f0008-032.jpg" title="f0008-03" width="282" height="421"><figcaption class="caption-body">Larry Zeidel</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0008-04273/2019889-1-eng-US/f0008-042.jpg" title="f0008-04" width="281" height="410"><figcaption class="caption-body">Carl Voss</figcaption></div>Hendy&rsquo;s words came as the aftermath of the flare-up which nearly provoked a riot in the third period of the game which was won by the Bears, 4-3Larry Zeidel, the burly Bears&rsquo; defense seman and a frequent peace disturber, kicked off the explosion.Zeidel was given a minor penalty by Refree Lou Farelli for &ldquo;deliberately falling on the puck&rdquo;.<h2>&ldquo;Choke Up&rdquo;</h2>Zeidel, miffed at what he thought was a &ldquo;Choke up&rdquo; call by the rookie ref. voiced his displeasure with considerable ceremony and gestures.His flowery oratory brought an additional 10-minute misconduct penalty from Farelli and the automatic $25 fine.<h2>Zeidel Furious</h2>Zeidel became furious. No doubt he felt this was a grave miscarriage of justice towards a hard-working journeyman hockey player who was merely earning his first night&rsquo;s pay in a long season. He bellowed his indignation to the rafters and threw his stick against the boards.<h2>Limit</h2>Whereupon, Farelli slapped Zeidel with the limit within his power&mdash;the game misconduct. This carries an automatic $50 fine.&ldquo;At that point.&rdquo; declared Hendy, &ldquo;Farelli had used the limit of his power. There was nothing more in the way of punishment provided by the rules.&ldquo;It&rsquo;s the same as sending a man to the electric chair for a crime. Whatever he does after that is for free. What else can you do to him?Zeidel is an intelligent fellow. He&rsquo;s the calculating type. He figured that since lie had been sentenced to the limit, he might as well cause some disturbance that might involve one or more of the Barons.&ldquo;His next move, therefore, was to provoke Freddy Glover. The two of them went at it and then both benches emptied into the brawl.<h2>&ldquo;Money&rsquo;s Worth&rdquo;</h2>&ldquo;Zeidel knew what he was doing. He was just going to get his money&rsquo;s worth for that $75 fine. He knew the referee had used up his authority.&rdquo;Hendy said he knew the National Hockey League had discussed the matter of increasing the authority of the officials but that it had failed to get the necessary vote.<h2>Out Of Gas</h2>Chief Referee Carl Voss, on hand for the game, said it was a good example of how official&rsquo;s authority runs out of gas.This writer feels an official should have the authority to hold a watch on a player who gets a penalty. If he doesn&rsquo;t, leave the ice in the face of the referee&rsquo;s ultimatum, he should be handed a heavy fine.Watch how fast that ice is cleared under that arrangement.In a recent, pro football game in Cleveland between the Browns and Philadelphia Eagles, seven players were tossed out of the game and there were some pretty good fines for fighting.But the refs had the power to use if needed.Hockey officials could use more of the same. &#9632;

FEATURES - PICTURES - STATISTICS - INTERVIEWS CARTOONS - COMPLETE REPORT ON ALL TEAMS

<div class="byline">By DICK McCRONE</div>HERSHEY, Pa.&mdash;Most hockey coaches are faced with the problem of making ends meet with the talent at hand, often being forced to improvise in order to put their best lineup on the ice.With Frank Mathers, coach of the Hershey Bears, however, the shoe is on the other foot. He never had it so good. And, what is even more pleasing is the fact that all of handling, his material are seasoned professionals.<h2>GOAL</h2>Defensively speaking, Mathers has the strongest combination in a decade. With Gil Mayer, completely recovered from a knee operation, and Bobby Perreault, the Rochester draftee, on hand. Mathers has two of the ablest twine minders in the business.<h2>DEFENSE</h2>The rearguard unit has been strengthened by the acquisition of Gordie Hollingworth from the Detroit Red Wings. And Mathers himself will take his regular turn on the ice. Big AlDewsburry, Larry Zeidel and Jackie Price round Out a ice notch rearguard.<h2>FORWARDS</h2>Eddie Stankiewicz, the sharp shooting right winger on loan from Detroit, and Len Haley whom the Bears drafted from Brandon, of the Western League, give the club more depth on the right side than they have had in many years.<h2>SURPRISE</h2>A pleasant surprise has been the performance of Les Duff, a hard-checking left winger, who last year had only a so-so campaign.<h2>INTACT</h2>The club&rsquo;s No. 1 line of a year ago, comprising Willie Marshall, Dune Fisher and Obie O&rsquo;Brien, remains intact. This trio accounted for 95 goals last season.In addition to Marshall at centre, the Bears have Arnie Kullman and Eddie Panagabko.Other veteran forwards returning include: Bobby Solinger, George Ranieri and Lorne Davis. &#9632;

AMERICAN LEAGUE

VANCOUVER, B.C.&mdash;Sports writers who pick winners, or try to, run a close parallel with horse players who die broke. There is one added distraction for the sports writer. Quite often he also dies wrong.So much for gobbledegook.The point is, the Edmonton Flyers will win the bundle, replete with win Christmas seals, when all is said and done in the Western Hockey League this year.The Flyers can miss, but not without several breaks. The breaks will have to be man-sized fractures, all neck-high, and all involving Edmonton&rsquo;s key personnel.Naming the Flyers&rsquo; key men is not hard if you can read. You start in goal and read north. The Flyers is deep, man, and their depth is exceeded only by their good looks in the talent department.Dennis Riggin is in goal. Lads like Metro Prystai, coach Tony (The Pony) Leswick, Billy McNeill, Jerry Melnyk and Chuck Holmes are out of it.A year ago some of these lads (not including older-type lads like Leswick) were a year away. That was a year ago.It must have seemed like a long time to general-manager Bud Poile, who suffered through an ignominious second-place finish in the Prairie Division.But all of a sudden their year is here. And so is Poile. And so are the Flyers. And so&mdash;<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-01496/2020055-1-eng-US/f0010-012.jpg" title="f0010-01" width="262" height="401"><figcaption class="caption-body">A1 Rolins</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-02425/2020048-1-eng-US/f0010-022.jpg" title="f0010-02" width="286" height="416"><figcaption class="caption-body">Metro Prystai</figcaption></div><h2>PRAIRIE DIVISION</h2>1) Edmonton Flyers&mdash;They can be stopped, but only by hoof and mouth diseases.2) Saskatoon-St. Paul Begals&mdash;Frank Boucher&rsquo;s men seem to be a year ahead of themselves; their year was last year. The way they won the fur-lined spitoon last winter was by having a lot of guys reach the top plateau of performance all at once. One of them was Vic Lynn, who reached into his backlog of yesterdays and came up with a good finishing shot. (This year Lynn is coaching Sudbury in the NOHA.) Another was Elliott Chorley. This 26-year-old wingman is the type of rugged agent who plays as well at the end of a six-game road trip as at any other time. He now plays it that way for Vancouver Canucks. That&rsquo;s good for Canucks, bad for Regals.3) Calgary Stampeders&mdash;Nobody seems to know for sure what manager-coach Frank Currie&rsquo;s crew has that is new, except for Al Rollins.

AL HOOPER

<div class="byline">By AL HOOPER</div>VANCOUVER, B.C.&mdash;When the Western Hockey, League talks about the one that got away it takes the form of a fish story in reverse: the league&rsquo;s bragging about it.Such a fish is Philip Francis Maloney of the Vancouver Canucks. And what he got away from was the National Hockey League, for reasons known only to that august body&mdash;which is angust all year&rsquo; round.Last spring, when Detroit bought Guyle Fielder from Seattle, it came to the surprise of nobody. It had been a question of time. The surprise was that the NHL had recognized the propritious time from its detached perch. It never did with Maloney.In the past that has been an occupational hazard of the Western League. It seemed so far away. And it was. Since then the new-fangled flying-machine and the spreading limbs of the NHL tree have corrected the situation.But even that earlier excuse lacks body with Maloney.Maloney joined Vancouver in 1954. He was 27. He came directly from Ottawa&rsquo;s folded Senators in the Quebec League. Before that he&rsquo;d served time with Pittsburgh of the American League (more than two years). Boston&rsquo;s NHL Bruins (his first professional season&mdash;70 games) and Toronto (two halves of two years).So it wasn&rsquo;t that the East had no chance to notice.<h2>It Happen</h2>Maloney was simply passed over. It happens, in life as in hockey.His first-year credentials with Boston had been remarkable&mdash;15 goals and 46 points, a fair show for a freshman centre. Whenever he was lifted from Pittsburgh to Toronto (and Maloney was the guy they reached for when Ted Kennedy turned human enough to get hurt) he went about the business of being himself: a major leaguer I in E-fiat minor.No, Maloney blew no chances. He lacked no talent. But no august body with all its agates would do anything so undignified as to admit a mistake.The way Maloney became Toronto property in the first place is fraught with irony.It happened in 1950 after his rookie term with Boston. The Bruins were groping around for a sound future investment. And so they packaged Maloney in with Fern Flaman and Ken Smith and sent them to Toronto for Bill Ezinicki and Vic Lynn.Flaman, after three desultory seasons with Toronto, found his way back to Boston. Lynn is still active with Sudbury Wolves of the Northern Ontario Hockey Association. Smith and Ezinicki have retired.Maloney has out-distanced them all, in point of stature and durability.<h2>Cost Plenty</h2>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s our pro,&rdquo; says coach Art Chapman o f the Canucks. &ldquo;It would cost somebody plenty to get him away from us, and I mean more than the $7,500 waiver price.&rdquo;The American League&rsquo;s Springfield Indians learned the truth of it only last spring. They tried drafting Maloney for that sum. Canucks prepared to fight, to take it the court it necessary. The Indians relaxed their attitude. There was enough trouble in the world without sticking pins in a porcupine.Maloney himself harbors no illusions. He was available once, and it didn&rsquo;t take. Not permanently, anyway.It&rsquo;s Hockey&lsquo;It&rsquo;s hockey wherever you play it,&rdquo; he says, &ldquo;and I like it here. And though he turned 30 this month, nobody else plays it quite like Maloney.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-04271/2020093-1-eng-US/f0010-042.jpg" title="f0010-04" width="280" height="409"><figcaption class="caption-body">Art Chapman</figcaption><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0010-05202/2020086-1-eng-US/f0010-052.jpg" title="f0010-05" width="526" height="852"><figcaption class="caption-body">Phil Maloney</figcaption></div>In his first full year West (55-56) his 37-58-95 point record earned him the scoring title, an All-Star niche and the Most Valuable Player Award. Last year be was 43-55-98, a little better&mdash;if not so good as Fielder&rsquo;s all-time all-pro record of 122 points.This year, there is no Fielder. Not here. And whether or not you believe the same should happen to P.F. Maloney, you will admire Vancouver sportswriter Rov Juklch&rsquo;s ironic bulletin from the Canucks&rsquo; training camp a short time ago.&ldquo;Chapman has already picked his first forward line.&rdquo; Jukicit wrote. &ldquo;It consists of Phil Maloney, and two other guys as yet unnamed.some fish. &#9632;

WESTERN LEAGUE

DETROIT, Mich.&mdash;Lou Fontinato, who lost his &ldquo;bad man&rdquo; crown in the National Hockey League last season, got off to a fast start in the chase for that dubious crown this season.Fontinato, a rugged defenseman for the New York Rangers, was nicked for 12 minutes in penalty time when the current campaign was only four minutes old.In the Hangers&rsquo; opener here, Fontinato drew a charging minor at 4:00 of the first period against Detroit. His protest was so enthusiastic that Referee Eddie Powers added a 10-minute misconduct.Fontinato set an NHL record by drawing 202 minutes in his first full season with the Rangers two years ago. Last year he picked up only 139 minutes, losing his title to Chicago&rsquo;s Gus Mortson who totaled 147 minutes.DANN &#9632;

Since that time he says that he has become so involved in hockey that &ldquo;hockey people are my favorite people.&rdquo;<h2>Functions</h2>The club has already had one function this year, an &ldquo;Open House&rdquo; at the Cleveland Arena in which the players were introduced to the fans. Over 300 fans met his year&rsquo;s edition of the Barons.<h2>Victory Party</h2>The Club plans to make occasional road trips with the team later in the season, to have an annual Christmas Party and finally, a victory party at the end of the season. &#9632;

Barons’ Boosters Elect Officers

(as seen in the Winnipeg Tribune)If Winnipeg Warriors have as much success with the flu as do Edmonton Eskimos they should be a lockup to win their first Western Hockey League test tonight at the Stampeder Corral in Calgary.If they do, the good people of the Foothills City will be lining up to get shot full of thevirus. The flu-ridden Eskies have just completed Operation Mop-Up against the football Stampeders.Now the Warriors are bringing more germs into Cowtown.To listen to the tub-thumper Denis Ball, the Winnipeg lineup sounded like Florence Nightingale&rsquo;s form chart when coach Alf Pike boarded a rattler Monday night west to begin his third successive season of WHL touring.The old maestro Bill Mosienko, who wasn&rsquo;t supposed to start because of the aforementioned virus, made the trip after all, but just when it looked as if the defence situation was being rescued, one of the rescuers&mdash;Mickey Keating&mdash;took the influenaz count. Mick didn&rsquo;t make the trip. Centreman Earl Ingarfield (with the flu) made it and so did rookie rightwinger Eddie Jamieson, another chappie who isn&rsquo;t feeling exactly up to par.Keating then, is expected to make his return to Warrior colors at the Arena Thursday night when the Stamps return the compliment to open the local schedule. He should also be joined by Frank Arnett, the one-time Brandon junior tough guy, who is on his way west out of last year&rsquo;s North Bay senior club by way of Cleveland Barons&rsquo; American League encampment.<h2>Willey To The Rescue</h2>To bolster the Winnipeg team&rsquo;s defence in Keating&rsquo;s absence tonight, Ken Willey, the ex-Flin Flon Bomber, will fly west from Saskatoon for the game in Calgary, Willey, a pretty steady customer in the Bombers&rsquo; Memorial Cup grand slam last spring, has been working with the Regals in Saskatoon for the last two weeks and was due to join the Warriors anyway.The fast shuffle will partner him with Danny Summers, Pete Kapusta and Kent Douglas in tonight&rsquo;s opener against Al Rollins and company.With an auto show displacing the Warriors at the Arena Monday general manager Jack Perrin made use of the time by putting signatures on contracts. Eight players have now committed themselves for the campaign at bond&mdash;goalkeeper Ray Mikulan, defencemen Kapusta and Keating and forwards Bruce Lea, George Ford, Mosienko, Earl Ingarfield and Gord Redahl. Howie Glover, Brian Derrett, Art Stratton, Butch Graham, Jamieson and Douglas are all starting the season on a three-game trial basis before talking contract.The boys around the boards are saying that this year&rsquo;s edition of the Warriors could be a real surprise. After watching weekend workouts (they went at it as it Pike had them all mad at each other) the railbirds confessed they hadn&rsquo;t seen a band of eager-beaver forwards to match this bunch since the start of &ldquo;the big year&rdquo; in 55-56.To be sure it is quite a collection of untried and castoff talent that the club is displaying up front this term, but if it takes a good coach to bring out the best in them they&rsquo;ve come to the right place.<h2>Marcel&rsquo;s In Business</h2>When say around Vancouver that Marcel Pelletier was up to is old tricks this fall when he came to signing a contract with the Canucks. His new boss, Coley Hall, was even satisfied when the colorful French-Canadien netminder turned up as cheduled for training camp. &ldquo;We didn&rsquo;t have him signed when he got to Winnipeg.&rdquo; Hall said, &ldquo;but at least that was a step toward success.&rdquo;Coley admitted that Marcel was after a National League contract, which was obvious from the fact that Pelletier was writing weekly letters to Hall&rsquo;s Vancouver office. The letters described the talents and intangibles of a gentleman named Pelletier.&ldquo;Pelletir,&rdquo; so the letters are supposed to have said, &ldquo;he wan colorful fello&rsquo;. He best goaltendair in hockey, maybe bettair than all in National League, too. So why don&rsquo; you pay heem National League contrac&rsquo;, huh?&rdquo; &#9632;

STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP

WINNIPEG, Man.&mdash;Gerry James is once again confronted with his annual problem&mdash;hockey or football.James, among the few athletes ever to play in the big leagues of both sports, is once again being wooed by the Toronto Maple Leafs of The National Hockey League. He left the Leafs in favor of football and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers earlier this year.Toronto hockey executive Stafford Smythe says that the Leafs may try to sign James, after the football season. Smythe stated: &ldquo;I think that our fancy dans need another hard-rock and James could be the answer.&rdquo;James says that he would be interested in a Toronto hockey offer if the terms were right. &#9632;

James Would Play Hockey If Terms Right

The Herald established in 1811, suspended operations, with the issue of Friday, Oct. 18)&bull; IT&rsquo;S BEEN A LONG HAUL.Nearly 30 years ago yours truly typed his first piece for The Herald. It was Sons of Ireland vs St. Fran&ccedil;ois Nationale, a Senior Group hockey game at the old Mount Royal Arena.For a tyro this loomed a tall assignment akin to the seventh game of the Stanley Cup finals, or the World Series. Crowded in memory are hnudreds of such games, perhaps ten thousand names in all lines of sport.There was the return of Victorias from overseas. The old Vics in 1928 became the first Canadian Hockey team to tour Europe. The trip was something special, an invitation from the King of Sweden. And Vics played a game at Mount Royal Arena. Their manager Saintie Holland screaming, &ldquo;Come on you Swedes.&rdquo;A few years later Vies reached the Allan Cup finals but were defeated by a University of Manitoba team. Frank Carlin did double duty on the back-division and at right wing. This was 1928. A few years later an MA AA team coached by Dave Campbell took Big Casino. The Allan Cup meant something in those days. For there wasn&rsquo;t another Allan Cup won by a Montreal team untill 1947. Frank Carlin achieved his great ambition, this time as coach. His squad included such luminaries as Gerry McNeil. Doug Harvey. Busher Curry and Pete Morin.Football had its great moments. The Old Wheelers under Bill Hughes and Clary Foran, and the only Grey Cup final seen by a Montreal crowd, in 1931 when the Wheelers defeated Regina Maroons at Molson Stadium on a six-below-ero day in December with Warren Stevens fully exploiting the forward pass for the first time in Ca pads.There were great teams on the intermediate level. Canadian Nationale under Dave Rollo at the Point, and Westmentor. The same Kerr later shifted to McGill and brought the Redmen their last intercollegiate grid title in 1938. Dates and names jostle. Excuse us please if figures stray.There were some stirring times with the Old Maroons, their Stanley Cup win in 1935. and their part in the longest game ever played. That was against Detroit Red Wings in 1936. I stretched into 116 minutes and 30 seconds of overtime and finished at 2.25 a m&hellip;. Rocket Richard and his 50 goals, am his, smashing of Nels Stewart&rsquo;s record of 324. later to pass 4 00 He&rsquo;s now on the brink of half a thousand.More than a full column could be devoted to baseball and its characters. Oustanding was Jackie Robinson and the October Day in 1945 he became the first Negro player in formal ranks of the game in modern times He signed a contract proferred by the late Hector H. Racine at Delorimier Downs. Clay Hopper&rsquo;s great teams, Grand Slams pennant Governors&rsquo; Cup and Junior World Series crown in 1946 and 1948&mdash;more great triumphs under Bruno Betzel, Walter Alston, Greg Mulleavy down the years. Great stars, lasting friend-ships.Haven&rsquo;t covered one quarter of the subject here. But you know what&rsquo;s meant. Bye now. See you around. &#9632;

<div class="byline">By AL PARSLEY</div><div class="image-hero"><img title="f0012-02" src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0012-02395/2020354-1-eng-US/f0012-022.jpg"><figcaption class="caption-body">Fred Shero As New York Ranger</figcaption></div>SHAWINIGAN FALLS, Que.&mdash;When he withdrew from active direction of the Cataracts and handed over the general-manager&rsquo;s role to Jos. Tremblay, local insurance adjuster, Ken Reardon promised that Shawinigan Falls would have a powerful entry in the Quebec Hockey League.Strong testimony is already apparent that Reardon wasn&rsquo;t talking malarkey. The Quebec circuit has been juiced only two weeks and Cataracts are sweeping along unbeaten and untied in their first starts.Already in the Power City the fans are talking back to the glamorous triumphs four years ago when the Cataracts swept through their schedule like a tidal wave and the tottered Edmonton Flyers to grab the Edinburgh Trophy, taking the Canadian miner professional hockey prize in the east for the first time.As they&rsquo;ve clawed every team in the loop the cats have established full claim as the &ldquo;team to beat&rdquo; and there&rsquo;s deep foreboding in the market places elsewhere that they&rsquo;ll make it a runaway before some of the rival factions can bolster forces for a matching fight.<h2>Shero Impresses</h2>Of course it could be pertinent to recall that the Cataracts have thrived under playing skippers. They had Roger Leger as the keystone of their back division when they grabbed Big Casino in the 195 4-55 campaign. Now they&rsquo;re broadcasting on high wattage for Fred Shero.Like Leger, Shero is blue-liner of considerable talent who has shown early marked ability as a strategist and has indicated proficiency in handling men.<h2>Good Rearguard</h2>In Eddie Johnston. Cats&rsquo; boast a goalie who is proven throughly adequate. This is told graphically in the club standing which showns only five tallies against the Shawinigan team in five outings while 22 have been fired into opposing nets by the Cataracts infantry.Reggie Flemming, Leo Amadio and Claude Labrosse are three youthful rearguards packing just enough pro savvy to give a certain polish to their zest and flair. And tall Ted Hodgson joins Shero in the capacity to supply needed steadiness and ice-generalship. The latter two are the take charge guys.The forward patrols include Captain Gerry Desaulniers, Dick Wray, the Irish redhead, Claude Laforge, Dick Bouchard. Al Johnson.<h2>Scoring Well Spread</h2>Early scoring statistics illustrate good balance to the attacking brigade. Bouchard is best on target with four tallies, Wray and Johnson have bagged three apiece, while Foulkner and Mekilok are value tor pairs.Frank Carlin made a bold move to plug a hole in a wobbly back division in Montreal when he signed Wally Clune who left Rochester when he and Paul Bibeault coudn&rsquo;t reach a meeting of minds on salary terms.Clune, who had been on skates only three times in three weeks made an impressive showing when he helped Royals plaster a 6-3 shellacking to Quebec Aces at the Forum last Sunday. To add to his early season troubles Clune had to battle an attack of flu.Royals had hoped to bring Bob Duncan into the fold, but this hard-hitting Toronto thumper balked at salary contract and was placed on the suspended list.<h2>SHAVED ICE</h2>Jackie Leclair, who vowed he&rsquo;d not sign with the Chicoutimi Sagueneens returned to the fold last week, much to the delight of skipper Phil Renauld. Two other balky athletes Jacques Deslauriers and Germain Leger, also came to taw. Georges Roy, who missed most of the training camp routine is ready to fortify what looms as one of the strongest back divisons in the loop, and it appears that Del Topoll has abandonned his holdout tactics. So all in all the Chicks are now beginning to shape up as a powerful force that may get going.With Rollie Rousseau, Gerry Glaude, Deslauriers and Roy, the Sagueneens will surely boast an experienced quartet of rearguards.But Fernand Perreault returned to his home in Montreal after a brief vsit to Chicoutimi. The tall smooth-striding left wing and centerman called around at the Forum and drew Royals&rsquo; general-manager Frank Carlin aside for an interview. He pleaded for a deal to be made that would make it possible for him to play in Montreal.Perreault was promptly told by Carlin, that under hockey rules such discussions were verbotten. On the other hand it Perreault could induce Manager-coach Renaud to ask the Montreal club, was it interested in Perreault, there&rsquo;s a chance that a deal could be made. It was made clear that this was entirely speculative&mdash;No promises.It seems that Perreault&rsquo;s wife balks at moving to Chicoutimi for another winter. &#9632;

I.H.L. SCHEDULE FOR 1957-58

<div class="byline">By GEORGE METZGER</div>PHILADELPHIA, Pa.&mdash;The 1957-58 Eastern Hockey League season opened here last night with the New Haven Blades facing the Philadelphia Ramblers. It marked the start of the circuit&rsquo;s 23rd year of play.An entire card of six games is slated for tonight. The champion Charlotte Clippers swing into action at Clinton. N.Y. against the Comets; the Blades move over to Johnstown, Pa. to, face the Jets; while the Ramblers travel to Washington, D.C. to play the Lions.Doug Adam, who went into &ldquo;retirement&rdquo; after finishing second in the Eastern Hockey League scoring derby last season, has hinted lie would like to return to the sport.Audit seems the Philadelphia Ramblers is the team with which he would like to do it.Adam was declared a free agent by league president Tom Lockhart after he scored 111 points with the champion Charlotte Clippers.Adam was not the property of Charlotte and was playing there on a one year loan basis and was granted his release.<div class="figure-block image-block"><img src="/var/site_2854/storage/images/media2/images/f0014-02378/2020475-1-eng-US/f0014-022.jpg" title="f0014-02" width="519" height="844"><figcaption class="caption-body">Doug Adam</figcaption></div>At present, Adam is living in Tacoma. Washington, selling automobiles. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m thinking of retiring,&rdquo; the 34-year-old veteran said. &ldquo;But I would play another season if the price was right. It would have too be a pretty good offer, though.&ldquo;I understand Philadelphia is interested in me,&rdquo; he continued. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d be very interested in hearing from them. I&rsquo;d like to hear what they have to say.&rdquo;But Rambler president George Davis doesn&rsquo;t seem too keen on the idea of signing Adam. &ldquo;He would probably want too much money for his age,&rdquo; said Davis.Adam differed on this point. &ldquo;The Ramblers won&rsquo;t win it with the same team as last year.&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;They need some new scoring punch to beat out the Clips.&ldquo;The only chance Philadelphia has of overcoming Charlotte is by signing a prolific scorer, something they don&rsquo;t have now. Someone that would allow (coach) Chirp Brenchley to open up his attack,&rdquo; Adam concluded. &ldquo;Someone like me, for instance.&rdquo; &#9632;

Retired Doug Adam Interested In Philadelphia Offer; EHL is 23rd Campaign Is In Progress

JOHNSTOWN, Pa.&mdash;In not too many years, too Johnstown Jets, of the Eastern Hockey League, may have some local sons on their squad.The Greater Johnstown Junior Hockey League will function this year for the seventh straight season. It consists of four teams composed of 15 players each.The boys range from 11 to 17 years of age. But don&rsquo;t worry about the age difference. When one team yanks its older boys and puts in the youngsters, the opposing club MUST do the same.Included on the governing board are Jack Riley, the Jets&rsquo; general manager, and Don Hall, the EHL club&rsquo;s captain.Before the season started, Hall conducted clinics for the youngsters.METZCER &#9632;

Jets’ Minor System

STRATH ROY, Ont.&mdash;Bob Campbell, rookie winger, suffered a broken leg at the Mercurys training camp at Strathroy, Ont., and will not get a chance to earn a spot with the team.According to Coach Doug Baldwin the accident happened when Campbell collided with another player during a routine scrimmage play. By the time Campbell recovers&mdash;an estimated six weeks&mdash;the Mercs will be well into their regular season, thus depriving the youngster a chance to make the club.On the good news sde of the ledger. Baldwin reported that Graham Joyce had arrived at training camp. Joyce, who played with the Mercs a couple of seasons ago. will probably be used at left wing along with Gordie Cowan at center and Carl Forster at right wing.Forster played for the champion Flin Flon Bombers last season and Baldwin said he was &ldquo;really pleased&rdquo; with the work of the youngster so far.The Mercs also got another lift in the defense department. Jack Gibson, property of Victoria of the Western League, will report this week to Strathroy in time for the exhibition Saturday night. With the addition of Gibson, regarded as a highly desirable piece of property, Baldwin says he will have a tough time deciding on whom to cut.Baldwin will be playing defense this year, as well as Jack Higgins. Jack Novak stands a good chance to be the third man and the Mercs will carry only four defensemen this season. Baldwin is hoping he can make a trade with one of the other clubs now training in Ontario.The Mercs have exhibition games lined up for most of next week, including a game against the tough Windsor Bulldogs on Oct. 25&mdash;the night before the International Hockey League season opens with Toledo playing at Troy. The Mercs open their 32 game home schedule on. Oct. 30, meeting Fort Wayne. &#9632;

Merc Rookie Breaks Leg While Training

TOLEDO, Ohio&mdash;The Toledo Mercurys have an abundance of defensemen, but are still looking for the right goaltender at their camp in Strathroy, Ont.Latest defenseman added to he training roster is George Gibson, who comes from Victoria, B. C. Coach Doug Baldwin believes Gibson has a good chance of earning a spot with the Mercs.And since Baldwin will play defense there is room for only three more backliners. Jack Higgins will be at one defense while big Jack Novak looks like the third man. Gary Bird, a youngster from Winnipeg has been impressive the first few days of practice, too.So Baldwin is hoping he can use some of his defensemen as trading material&mdash;especially with Windsor&rsquo;s Bulldogs who have two good goaltenders on their list, but who are short on defensemen. The Mercs have plenty of goaltenders in camp, but if Windsor were willing to make a trade Baldwin believes it would help Toledo.Graham Joyce reported yesterday to camp. The onetime Mercury will probably play at left wing between Gordie Cowan at center and Carl Forster at right wing.First casualty of the Meres training camp came late Monday night. Bob Campbell, rookie winger, suffered a broken leg in practice, and will, of course, not be able to earn a place with the Mere# this season. &#9632;

NOHA Puck Parade

<div class="byline">By BILL SMITH</div>WHITBY, Ont.&mdash;Wally Lenser, newly appointed manager of the Pembroke Lumber Kings of the Eastern Ontario Senior A League has gone so far to promise his followers the Allan Cup. His only concern right now is, and we quote: &ldquo;To beat out the Whitby Dunlops for first place&rdquo;.However the same thoughts have been echoed from Cornwall, Belleville, Kingston, and Whitby, so it will prove interesting come the season&rsquo;s end.<h2>KINGSTON</h2>Bun Cook of the Kingston CKLC&rsquo;s is trying to lure homebrew goal keeper Don Senior back home. Senior guarded the twine for Kitchener last season. Lee Hubert is also out with Kingston, he was recently cut from the Detroit Red Wings. Holdovers from last season include, Don Bellringer, Roy Partridge, Jerry Moore and Frank Howarth. There is also a good chance that Billy Colvin who was a standout with St. Mikes, will ink a Kingston contract. Colvin is attending Queens University. His line mate at St. Mikes, Ken Linesman may also be lured into the fold at Kingston.<h2>BELLEVILLE</h2>Belleville McFarlands will have Gordie Bell back in the nets, and playing coach Ike Hildebrand, has been looking over the work of Floyd Crawford, Minnie Minard, Lionel Botly, Moe Benoit, Rus Kowolachuck and Jerry Goyer. Goyer played last season with the Guelph Biltmores.<h2>PEMBROKE</h2>The big signing in Pembroke is Jim Farelli, who played with the Buffalo Bisons last year. Jack Douglas who formerly played with the Lumber Kings a few seasons past, returns to the club after a fling in the International Hockey League. Bucky Buchanan, last year with Kingston may line up in a Pembroke uniform and he will add plenty of colour to the Kings.<h2>CORNWALL</h2>The Cornwall Chevies opened their training camp this week.Joe Lapine the Cornwall coach had 22 players at the first workout. These included Ted Szydlowski who joins Cornwall from the Guelph Biltmores, Doug McPhee who was sought after by many pro clubs in the Maritimes, and Frank Dorrington another Maritime player, who notched 40 goals last season. Brian Anderson, a Toronto Marlie Grad, and who was with the Ottawa Junior Canadiens last year was also going well at the first practice.Back from last years squad, I coach Lapine will have goalie Gerry Devaney, defencemen, Bob Bingley, Bernie Limoges, centres, Guy Henri, Moe Savard, and Mort Belmore; right wingers, Neil Burke and Rheal St. Jean and Ron Muir. Two graduates from the Cornwall Junior B club will be given a whirl, they are Claude Cousineau and Pete Champagne a defenceman.Another player to desert the western section of the OHA in favour of the East, is George Aitken, who was a top performer with Stratford, and more recently in the camp of the Windsor Bulldogs. &#9632;

For several years all-star teams have been selected. In recent seasons, the &ldquo;official&rdquo; junior all-star squad has been chosen by the coaches in the league.Unlike the majority of all-star aggregations however this one was purely a paper product. The players selected got their pictures in the paper; they were mentioned in dispatches and perhaps used the honor as a talking point when it came time to sign a pro contract. In reality however they were never a team since they never did get to play anybody; not even themselves. A couple of years ago we made a vain attempt to arrange a contest between the junior all-stars and the K/W Dutchmen prior to their overseas junket but minor details that couldn&rsquo;t be agreed upon (details like a time, a place and the cut of the gate) intervened and the proposed attraction never came off.<h2>Situation Rectified</h2>The situation this year will be rectified. The OHA junior &ldquo;A&rdquo; Council has approved January 8th 1958 as the date for the first annual all-star game. Earlier Sam Pollock, the major-domo of Ottawa Canadiens, had proposed a meeting between his club and an OHA All-Star team, to be played in Ottawa with Queen Elizabeth as a spectator. The OHA clubs passed up Sams&rsquo; proposition however when it was learned that Her Majesty could not attend. No official reason was given as why Her Majesty could not attend but it may be that Pollock&rsquo;s reputation reached her ears and she was afraid he&rsquo;d put the Palace Guards on Canadiens negotiation list.The OHA Council not only rejected the bid to have the game in Ottawa but. Canadiens players were eliminated from the voting.<h2>1st Place VS Stars</h2>The game will be strictly a family affair with the first place team as of January 5th hosting the chosen few from the remainder of the league.<h2>Two Holdovers</h2>Only two members of last years&rsquo; mythical team will be back for another shot. Right winger Bob Nevin will play with Marlboros again this season and Bruce Gamble will again be between the pipes for Guelph Biltmore. Centre Frank Mahovlich is of course with Toronto Maple Leafs and left winger Eddie Shack is with Providence Reds of the AHL. Last years&rsquo; all-star defence pair, both of Marlboros, were at the Leafs camp. Ron Casey is slated for a berth with Whitby Dunlops who will play in the World Hockey Championships and Harry Neale is expected to find a spot with one of the Leaf affiliates.TRAINING CAMP NOTES; St. Catharines Teepees, despite the loss of Bobby Hull to Chicago, have so much talent that Rudy Pilous is considering a junior B team in the Garden City &hellip; Holdovers Stan Mikita, John MacKenzie, Ron Quenville and Matt Ravlich have been impressive at Teepees camp as have newcomers Bill Auger from Rouyn and Dennis Wenechuk of Sault Ste Marie &hellip; Two top junior B graduates Bob Smith and Dennis DeJordy are vieing for the netminding job vacated by the graduated Roy Edwards &hellip; An Indian lad with the imposing handle of Les Tobobondung has attracted a lot of attention in St, Kitts &hellip; He&rsquo;ll have to shorten that name however if he hopes to make headlines &hellip;<h2>Hamilton</h2>In Hamilton they&rsquo;re billing this as the year for the Cubs to win the Memorial Cup &hellip; Coach Gerry Brown has a solid nucleous of holdovers sparked by goalkeeper Carl Wetzel &hellip; The American-born netminder was a stand last year in his first season in &ldquo;A&rdquo; ranks &hellip; Along with such veteran performers as Hank Ackerval, Howie Young, Murray Oliver, Brian Smith and Jerry Sullivan Cubs have added, a classy centreman in western import Stewart MacNeil &hellip; In a recent exhibition game against Marlboros, MacNeill scored one goal and set up another as Cubs bowed 3-2 to Dukes &hellip; Marlboro counters were tallied by Hank Marczak, Jim Murchie and Bill Kennedy, all returning from last years&rsquo; second place-finishers &hellip;<h2>Marlboros</h2>Marlies who are expected to ice another strong club have Lee Broderick back in goal &hellip; Peterborough Petes, who were league doormats last year, have served notice that things will be different this year &hellip;<h2>Peterboro</h2>Petes whacked their fellow Canadien farm club from Ottawa 9-5 in a pre-season tilt &hellip; Petes camp was hit hard by the flu bug with eight players and coach Ted Kennedy all down for the count &hellip;<h2>Guelph</h2>Guelph Biltmores played to a 3-3 tie against St, Catharines Levers, a Senior B club, in their first exhibition encounter &hellip; Ron Ryan of last years Biltmore club. Larry Favero up from the Biltmore B&rsquo;s and Ron Brain who was with Leaside in the Metro Junior B league counted the Guelph goals &hellip; The latter is a son of Globe & Mail sports writer Laurie Brain &hellip; &#9632;

OHA Junior A League To Have All-Star Game

<div class="byline">By KEITH ARMSTRONG</div>WINNIPEG, Man.&mdash;The name St. Boniface Canadiens will not be missing when the 1957-58 Manitoba Junior Hockey League season gets underway Nov. 3. The club has been purchased by the President of the Winnipeg Warriors of the Western Hockey League, Jack Perrin, from owner Larry Desjardins of the Canadiens.The St. Boniface club was on the verge of being forced to fold due to inability to obtain ice in either of Winnipeg&rsquo;s two artificial ice plants.<h2>No Brandon</h2>Efforts by Desjardins to sell the club to interests in Brandon failed when the parent Montreal club said it would be unable to provide financial assistance to a new owner.<h2>One Club To Go</h2>With the purchase of the Canadiens it will mean that Perrin would own three clubs of the five team loop. Under pro regulations a pro team cannot control more than two clubs in one league. it is believed that Perrin will drop the Winnipeg Olympics, and make the league a four team circuit. Other clubs in the league are the Winnipeg Rangers and defending champion Winnipeg Monarchs.<h2>SJHL Looks Strong</h2>MJHL clubs have also been busy on the ice lanes. Two clubs, the Braves and Rangers made a Thanksgiving Weekend excursion into the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. The Braves split two games with the Memorial Cup Champion Flia Flon Bombers, while the Rangers lost close decisions to the Prince Albert Mintos, Melville Millionnaires and Estevan Bruins. Both clubs reported that the SJHL clubs were quite strong.<h2>Another Pilous</h2>There are only two holdovers in the coaching ranks. The former NHL star, Paul Platz, in returning for his second season with the Rangers, while Bilt Leask will handle the Monarchs for another year. Perrin has appointed the one-time Manitoba hockey great Harry Neil to guide the Braves, while Max Pilous, a brother of Rudy Pitons, the coach and general manager of the St. Catharines Tee Pees, will coach the Canadiens. Pilous handled the Canadiens two years ago. &#9632;
