Chicoutimi Player Revolt Leaves Royals, Lions In Playoff Dilemma
MONTREAL, Que.— With the league showing grave symptoms of falling apart, the executives of the Quebec Hockey League were making a brave effort to keep a smiling front as hasty efforts were made to reair crumbling playoff fences during the past week. A hurried decision was made to continue the series for the Thomas O’Connell Memorial Trophy with only two teams — Montreal Royals, first place finishers, and Three Rivers Lions, runners-up competing. This became imperative following the withdrawl of the Chicoutimi Sagueneens when half a dozen of their players defected in a rebellion over scanty rewards offered for a playoff effort. It was decided to abandon the 12-game round-robin series with three teams originally figured in competition and continue the Royals-Lions argument as a best-five-of-nine set-to. This after Royals and Lions had…

MONTREAL, Que. — Defenseman Doug Harvey of the Montreal Canadiens established a new NHL playoff record for assists when he picked up two against the Chicago Black Hawks on the night on Thursday, March 26 in Montreal. Canadiens won the game 5-1 and took a 2-0 lead in the best of seven semi-final series ‘A’. Harvey’s two assists boosted his total to 49, one more than previous record holder Gordie Howe of Detroit.

This is Harvey’s 11th straight playoff series.-Last season he picked up nine assists in 11 games to bring him to within one assist of Howe’s record. Ted Lindsay of Chicago,…
Barons 2nd Place Finish Real Great Team Effort
CLEVELAND, O.— A couple of hockey brain trusters from Cleveland will rate a place in the history books after this hockey season blows away, regardless of what happens in the Calder Cup playoffs. General Manager James C. Hendy, who first threw his ample framework into a front office chair at the Cleveland Arena ten years ago, will be after what he calls “a 500 per cent average” in this Calder Cup series. Hendy has now had ten seasons as head of the Barons and in that time he has seen his ice screws win four Calder Cups and three American Hockey League regular season titles. “If I win one more this year,” he exclaims, “it will be five Calder Cups in ten seasons, not a bad record at all.” The other fellow who is making…
