Red Wing Hook Up Stop Cap For Mileti’s Barons
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Barons hope some day to become’ an independent hockey operation. They want to own their own players but until that time arrives they’ve settled lor the next best thing — a working agreement with a National Hockey League team. Cleveland owner Nick Mileti and Sid Abel, general manager of the Red Wings announced the working agreement between the two clubs for the coming season.

OF ALL GUYS—GUMP WINS AIRLINES GOLF
TORONTO— Gump Worsley has been accused of taking many liberties in his lengthy big league hockey career but winning the American Airlines Golf Tournament, was just too much.

Now Perreault is preparing to play amateur hockey for the first time since 1951. Perreault has asked for and received his amateur re-instatement papers and will do his puck-stopping for Sherbrooke of the Quebec Senior Hockey League this season. The 38-year-old goaltender had no inkling of the disaster last season was to be. He picked up where he left off with the Calder Cup champion Amerks of ’67-68 in the season opener, stopping 31 shots in a 4-1 decision over Quebec here last Oct. 12. But the Amerks of 1968-69 were not comparable to the club of ’67-68, and Bobby’s play followed suit. In…
