Hold Down Salaries, WIHL Finds It Can Operate Without Trouble
TRAIL, B.C.— Although the hockey picture in the Okanagan is glum, the picture could not be brighter for the four teams in the Western International Hockey League. When the Warwicks left Trail five seasons ago Smoke Eaters then and there put a stop to the high salaries. The other clubs—Nelson Maple Leafs, Rossland Warriors and Spokane Flyers—followed suit.

In the WIHL itself this week, Smoke Eaters extended their winning streak to 16 games (they have yet to lose) and they did it the hard way—winning four games in five nights. Wednesday night saw them beat Nelson at Nelson 4-2. They returned…

Montreal, like other major league teams, doesn’t make a practice of having boys pay their own freight. There was a reason in Ouellette’s case, one which he considers reasonable today. “I’d been at the Montreal junior camp in Hull, Quebec, the year before,” related Ouellette, a stocky redhead of French antecedents, “and the Canadiens paid my way.…

HERSHEY, Pa.— The Hershey Bears will go through the mid-portion of their American League schedule without the services of veteran centerman Willie Marshall.

He is in a cast and has been given “six to seven weeks” for recovery. The Kirkland Lake, Ont., skater had seven goals and 18 assists when he suffered the injury against Cleveland. Winger Ray Kinasewich continues to pace the club in scoring with 14 goals and a like number of assists.
