The Return of ‘Black Jack’
Stewart Named Pittsburgh Coach PITTSBURGH, Pa— Jack Stewart, one of Detroit’s all-time great Red Wings, will be the coach of the Pittsburgh Hornets of the American League this season, according to an announcement made by Detroit manager-coach Sid Abel. Last year Stewart coached the Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., team in the Eastern Pro League. Stewart, 45, thus returns to the Red Wing family he left 12 years ago when he was traded to Chicago after a famed ten-year career in Detroit. A member of the Detroit Hockey Hall of Fame, he is known as one of the best defensemen to ever wear a Red Wing sweater. Abel made the announcement of the new Pittsburgh coach just a month after the Hornets became Detroit’s new A.H.L. affiliation. Pittsburgh finished last in 1961-62, its first season…
Bruins Set Up Training Camp On Garden Ice
BOSTON, Mass.— The Bruins will again set-up their training camp at the Garden this fall. In announcing the return to Boston for the pre-season workouts, Manager Lynn Patrick explained it worked a hardship on the players to do all their training on a band-box rink and then move into the spacious Garden. “It was just like playing on a strange rink instead of your home ice,” Patrick said. “The players weren’t used to the large ice surface and didn’t know the boards. Those may not seem important points to some people but they’re mighty important to the players.” Before switching to Niagara Falls, Ont., a year ago the Bruins had trained at the Garden for five years.

Riley Declines Offer To Preside Over AHL
ROCHESTER, N.Y.— Jack Riley, Rochester Americans’ general manager declined an offer by the American Hockey League to become its president. “I could have had the job,” Riley said, but I didn’t like the terms. I’m satisfied to stay in Rochester.” Jim Balmer, the AHL’s interim president, resigned and later was renamed to the post, this time with a one-year contract. Riley had the support of Toronto President Stafford Smythe, and Rochester Americans governor, who said, “If he wants the job he can have it. He has our blessing.” Riley, who turned 43 last month, asked for a one year termination clause. He said he was offered a three-year contract with a possible three or six month termination clause. This, Riley refused. Riley’s termination clause request was one for simple security. “I wouldn’t want to make a…
