As Expected; Kitchener, Chatham In OHA Senior Final: Peanuts On Way
STRATFORD, Ont.— The final series of the NOHAOHA senior “A” playoffs, which opened in Chatham, promises to be a torrid tussle, and you might use adjectives like rough, rugged, batling, eet. to describe it. Only a very brave man would venture a prediction of the outcome, although Chatham Maroons, having finished on top of the group schedule, seven points ahead of the Kitchener Dutchmen, might be conceded the edge by some fans. There wasn’t much of a difference between the two teams in their games at Chatham and Kitchener, as their record resembles something like an even split, with the Maroons winning a pair at Kitchener and the Dutchmen doing the same thing in Chatham. Chatham Maroons polished off Soo Greyhounds in four straight games, two at Chatham and two at the…

ON THE SIDELINES • THEY MAY BE IN LAST PLACE, but Quebec Aces are always in the news. Grabbing ink in buckets full in the daily prints and plenty of sports castsers time on the air waves. When the Quebec party arrived in Montreal last Friday for a date with the Royals at the Forum, Ovila Cote, president in the new deal with the Quebec club, gave out the startling news that six regulars had been fired, their places filled in all but one spot, by intermediates from the Montcalm club of the Ancient Capital. Curtly Mr. Cote and recently appointed publicist Denis Bussiere said that “an unhealthy situation” prevailed with the Aces, that Real Chevrefils, former big leaguer with Boston and Detroit, and five others—Nelson Bulloch and Ian Anderson, defensemen; Buddy Boone,…

Blues Turn Full Shade Whiter At Thoughts Of Meeting Red Hot Champs
NEW YORK, N.Y.— Now that the will-we-make-the-playoffs heebiejeebies are over, the Rangers are thinking about who they’d like to meet in the opening round for the Stanley Cup. The general consensus among the Blueshirts is that Chicago would be the pushover club for them and Montreal would offer the most trouble. An exclusive HOCKEY NEWS poll of the New Yorkers revealed that Phil Watson’s skaters figure they can take the Black Hawks because the Windy City sextet relies on one line for scoring and has a so-so defense. According to Ranger thinking, if the Hawks’ “Pappy Line” of Ed Litzenberger, Ted Lindsay and Tod Sloan can be stopped, the Hawks will be massacreda la General Custer. It also was suggested by more than one Ranger that age will catch up with the “Pappy” unit and…
