Big Goal Spree By McCreary And New Mates Spurs Injuns
SPRINGFIELD, Mass.— Coach Pat Egan of the American Hockey League championship Springfield Indians needed almost a couple of months to decide on a linemate for Harry Pirhirny and Floyd Smith. But when he finally made up his mind—on Billy McCreary—he couldn’t have made a better pick. All that Billy (the Kid) did was to score all four goals in the Tribe’s 4-3 victory over Providence to give the Indians a 3-1 edge in the best-of-seven Calder Cup semifinal series. That triumph, on Providence ice, just about ruined the Reds’ hopes for a berth in the final round. At the start of the season, the veteran Pidhirny and the seasoned Smith were the wingers for Art Stratton and the trio was the most prolific in the AHL scoring-wise. But when the parent New York Rangers recalled Stratton,…

ELMER FERGUSON The Gist And Jest Of It
In The Montreal Star If the information will augment Canadiens’ confidence as they swing into the final round of Stanley Cup battling, they might find it nice to know that since the ancient trophy became the exclusive blue ribbon award of the National League, the team which finished as champions of the League race have won it 26 times in 41 series. This total, by the way, includes a victory scored by Victorias, who were champions of the Pacific Coast League. Otherwise, they couldn’t have been playing for the bowl. Canadiens have won the Cup 10 times since the League was founded in 1917. On several of these occasions they were both League and Cup champions. Toronto Leafs have won the Cup eight times over the same span, but here is a…
