Adams Praised, Gifted By 400 At Detroit Testimonial Night
DETROIT, Mich.— After listening to his praises sung by sportsmen, industrialists, friends, government officials and former players for two hours, Jack Adams rose. “Breathes there a man with soul so dead,” quoted Jack, “who never to himself hath said ‘This is my own, my native land…” “I came here 35 years ago with a foreign game and you accepted me. This is excelsior.” It was ‘Jack Adams Day’ in Detroit, proclaimed by Mayor Jerome Cavanagh who was the main speaker. And now it was the Jack Adams testimonial dinner. More than 400 of Adams’ friends from hockey and all sports jammed the banquet room to do him honor, to salute “Mr. Hockey” of Detroit.

Hornets’ Hopes Soar As Detroit Options Joyal, Glover, Balfour

Daugherty Has Worked 31 Years On Ottawa Minor Scene
OTTAWA, Ont.— Anonymity in the Twentieth Century, with all the media of information and propagation, is a virtual impossibility. Yet, it happens. E.A. (Eddie) Daugherty is an excellent case in point. There are few men in Canada who have done so much for small fry sport, particularly hockey, than the same Daugherty. Eddie’s stewardship, so far, has covered 31 years, and he’s looking forward to many more. To introduce this singular man, he is presently the secretary of the Ottawa Recreation Department, once called the Playgrounds Department. As such, he is the No. 2 man behind J.AIph Dulude, another longtime civic employee with the Recreation Department. It was back in 1931 that Daugherty first became involved in minor hockey promotion, and he’s been at it ever since in varying capacities. The list of youngsters who have…
