Hornets Set Sights On Second Place As Odrowski Leads Team In Upsurge
PITTSBURGH, Pa.— The Pittsburgh Hornets, disappointing during almost the first third of the season, set their sights on second place in the Western Division of the American Hockey League a couple of weeks ago. For a time it seemed like they would make it, too. They picked up 13 of a possible 18 points. They knocked off the Buffalo Bisons, division leaders, twice in a row — once at Buffalo. And then they ran into that exHornet great, Frank Mathers, and his Hershey Bears over in Chocolatetown, and Jack Stewart’s previously hard-hitting team looked pretty humble. The general improvement in the Hornet squad, prior to the Hershey debacle, came with an eight-player trade negotiated by Manager Baz Bastien and Detroit’s boss, Sid Abel. Bastien and Stewart sent Jack McIntyre and Ray Ross, forwards, and Jack Price…
Read It Next Week In The Hockey News
Veteran defenseman Marcel Pronovost of Detroit has been around hockey’s teeming big time for nearly a decade now and the rugged rearguard admits that he was more than a little concerned by the fact the Red Wings missed the playoffs last season for the first time in years. It was mainly because he was being blamed. The “goat horns” hung high over Pronovost when he fell below his usual starry NHL form and the Wings with him last season. But the 32-year-old battle-scarred Red Wing didn’t let it stand in his way this season when he reported to training camp. Next week in the HOCKEY NEWS Detroit correspondent Jack Berry discloses in a profile on Pronovost how Marcel was determined to gain retribution this season to the point he’s being touted for…
Chicago Moves Syracuse Entry To St. Louis
SYRACUSE, N.Y.— Chicago Black Hawks, with the approval of the Eastern Pro League, announced the transfer of the Syracuse Braves to St. Louis. Braves, in last place in the league, moved out of Syracuse suddenly after walloping Hull-Ottawa Canadiens 6-2 in a Sunday night game. Rumors about an emminent move had been flying for quite a while around the EPHL. The Braves’ days in Syracuse were numbered when the citizens of that city responded to the pro team with amazing apathy. The team, which averaged less than 1,000 spectators per game, played all its home games in the beautiful Syracuse War Memorial Arena. Tom Ivan, general manager of the Chicago Black Hawks and Gus Kyle, manager-coach of the Braves, had reportedly been unhappy since the exhibition schedule when the team drew poorly. The Braves had…
