Ducks May Enlist Aid of St. Louis Blues As Player Losses Plunge Club Into Cellar
COMMACK, N.Y.— It may be too early to send out an S.O.S., but there’s a good chance the Long Island Ducks of the Eastern Hockey League will send such an alarm to the St. Louis Blues, their new parent club in the expanded National Hockey League. Al Baron, Ducks’ president, announced the agreement, the first in long Island’s history, saying “we’ve never had a written pact with a high-ranking club before. This tie-in with an NHL team should benefit the Ducks in the years ahead as we will have a source from which to acquire players.” General manager Lynn Patrick of the Blues negotiated the agreement and the current low plight of the Ducks might find Baron requesting early aid from the team that won’t begin NHL action until next season. A year…

Les Binkley’s Goaling Gives Gulls Hope As San Diego Gets Off To Rocky Start
SAN DIEGO, Calif.— The brand new San Diego Gulls, who will have had to play 13 straight road games before opening up the brand-new $6,500,000 Inter, national Sports arena Thursday night, Novemb-17, against Seattle, have had rough going as expected so far, but have had one bright light, Les Binkley, the 31-year-old goalie, who led the goaltenders and won All-Star honors last season in the American League and had played all seven years as a pro for Cleveland before coming over to Southern California this season. Binkley’s goal-tending average after the first five games this season was a mediocre 3.40, but in this case statistics do not tell the story. Les has averaged more than 40 saves a game and it is a wonder he has not col lapsed in shell-shocked hysteria.…
Gray Slick Producer Of Goals For Hornets
PITTSBURGH, Pa.— All Terry Gray can do is score. Once again the Pittsburgh right winger is putting pucks into opposition nets at a consisten pace which should give him his third consecutive thirty-goal season. After three weeks of the season, the nine year pro veteran is in the familiar spot of leading his team in goals scored. Not a smooth skater, nor a swift one, criticism has often been leveled at Gray because of these deficiencies which naturally have an effect on his overall play. But when it comes to scoring, there’s not toe many better ones in the American League. In his first full campaign with the Hornets, Terry did not have a good training camp and was not in uniform for the opener. However the next night he was in the lineup and scored…
