Barons Deceived Their Hockey Critics, Closing Kick Topped Only By Buffalo
CLEVELAND, Ohio— Those who were in-clined to sneer at the Cleveland Barons during the regular American Hockey League season, because the Barons’ point total failed to match that of several other AHL clubs, did their sneering a bit too soon. What’s more, they failed to analyze the fi-gures correctly. Win or lose in the Calder Cup playoffs, the Barons have shown their detractors that they are a much stronger club than their point total showed them to be.

The Bisons took 67 points in their last 54 games; the Barons took 63 points over the same period. Even though they didn’t gain the Calder Cup finals against the Bisons, the Barons…
Blake Decides Time Not Right To Quit As Canadiens’ Coach, Plans Rebuilding Job For Habs
(As Seen In The Montreal Gazette) MONTREAL, Que.— You can stop speculating now as to whether Sammy Pollock, Maurice (Rocket) Richard, Billy Reay or Butch Bouchard will succeed Toe Blake as coach of the Canadiens—we’ve heard all those names mentioned—because Toe has announced that he’s going to give it another whirl.

He hates to lose and in this instance he blamed himself. “I can’t get through to the players any more,” he said. “I just can’t get them up for the big games.” If Toe couldn’t do it, we don’t think anyone else could. The truth is that the Canadiens are not the powerhouse…
