But, after sitting out one game against Clinton, Kullman returned to the lineup for a game against Philadelphia. Did Lockhart know about it? Of course.

The Presidents are going to Charlotte for a two game series this weekend and he will not be allowed to play in either of these contests.” EASTERN AMATEUR LEAGUE This left Philadelphia interests wondering just what kind of new suspension Lockhart had in mind.…
1958 Chevy Goes When Off-Ice Play Catches Up To His On-Ice Playing
When a learn fails to play up to its pre-season expectations as the Boston Bruins have this season someone has to pay. A year ago the Bruins were contenders for the National League championship, and because they looked improved before the start of this season they were rated contenders again.

Hawks Interested in Bo Elik; Hendy Nixes Tribe Offer
BUFFALO. N.Y. The smell of playoff greenbacks permeates the American League air these days. Hershey, Cleveland, and Providence have been sufficiently consistant that they appear sure of sharing in the harvest.
