Iced Bailey Points To 12 Game Penalty As Future Warning
CLEVELAND, O.— Bob Bailey, one of hockey’s more con troversial operators and a some-time bad boy of the game, has declared that he hopes his. banishment for 12 games will serve as a warning to potential stick swingers. The martyr role for Bailey is a new one. Bailey’s suspension for 12 games for allegedly hitting Springfield’s Ted Harris with a stick was appealed by the Bisons and the appeal was turned down by American Hockey League governors.

We never even received an answer or acknowledgement, but later that summer Plante came out with his mask. The letter Spencer sent was dated April…
Lynn Denies He Was Offered Bobby Hull
BOSTON, Mass.—The story carried by a wire service that the Boston Bruins could have acquired Bobby Hull of Chicago last summer in exchange for Don McKenney failed to ring a bell with Lynn Patrick, Bruins’ manager. The story was circulated by United Press International after Hull made a three-goal hat trick against the Bruins for the second time this season. “If Tommy Ivan offered me Hull even up for McKenney,” said Patrick, “I don’t remember it. And if I could have gotten Hull by offering Chicago McKenney I don’t remember that, either.” Ivan, dapper general manager of the Black Hawks, has told hockey writers here on several occasions that Hull is a Chicago untouchable by either sale or trade.…
