On The Sidelines SHAWINIGAN FALLS, Que. — A trip up here with the Montreal Royals gives a fellow a chance to renew touches with old friends. The management is hospitable, with Arthur Lacoursiere, Joe Tremblay and the other directors of the club bounteous hosts.

Climbing into the top ten among National Hockey League scorers at the middle of November, Slinker — as Tod Sloan is known to his playmates — and Hinky — alias Billy Harris — fired 14 goals in 12 games with a Toronto Maple Leaf line that is still not completely set. To start the surge, the dapper little Sloan shed his short sticks and his reputation with Leafs management as a puck-hog. He adopted longer shillelaghs to level his shots and at the same time indicated a willingness to make plays to Harris for goals. Hinky, meanwhile, found in Slinker a partner who could capitalize on the centre’s own playmaking skills, which had hitherto been wasted on other…
