A Slow Starter, Fast Start Even Puzzles Wilson
BUFFALO. N.Y.— Larry Wilson, who recently celebrated his 28th birthday, is the “old man” of the Buffalo Bisons—but only in the point of service to the team. The hustling blond center is wearing Bison colors for the fourth American League season. And, from the way Wilson is going, it may well be bis best, as a goal scorer, not that Larry has ever been very far down the list of Herd snipers.

Gump (Worsley) and Eddie Shack were marvelous in defeat at Detroit. What a first…

Father Costello, now 31 has joined the Timmins-Schumacher Flyers as a right winger.
