Unknown Warriors Challange Flyers In WIL Flag Race

SPOKANE, Wash. Things are looking up, hockey wise, in the little town of Rossland, B.C. With a population of only 6000 the Rossland Warriors entered the strong Western International League last season and never did get out of the cellar. This year the Warriors are in second place and really chasing the league leading Spokane Flyers. Situated only seven miles from Trail, and that seven miles is practically straight down the hill, Rossland seemed the logical choice to enter the WIHL when Kinberley's rink was condemned and new one wasn't in sight. It took lot of doing, but three men are directly responsible and lot of others are indirectly responsible. First on the list is Feeni Rossi. During the day he works in the Cominco smelter in Trail, but almost every other waking…

Hall Adds His Two Cents To Mohns Jaw

NEW YORK, N.Y.— An important bit of testimony has been added to the controversial Doug Mohnslan Cushenan ease. Mohns has been sidelined with broken jaw after being soundly belted by Cushenan Dec. 8th at Chicago. According to all reports, Cushenan bodychecked Mohns and then lost his stick. Mohns then kicked the Black Hawk player’s stick away from him (Cushenan). When the Hawk tried to retrieve it a second Mohns again pushed it away. Where-upon Cushenan skated after the Bruin and plastered him to the ice with a series of punched. Tearful Bostonians cried that it was “sneak punch” etc., etc. Bruin announcer Fred Cusick wailed that It was “unsports manlike to sav the least” in the Dec. 21st HOCKEY NEWS.
