VOL.1 MARCH 10, 1948 No. 24 THEY BROKE FAITH Now that hockey’s gambling probe has run its course to the logical conclusion, the guilty are being punished and all concerned are repairing the damage to the fame’s reputation, there’s but one thought to offer to those players who thought they could make some easy money by playing false to the game that gave them a good livehood: they broke faith not only with themselves, but also with the fans young and old—especially the young.

CLAXTON REQUESTS FLYERS TO RETURN
OTTAWA, Ont.— Defence Minister Brooke Claxton said in a statement that the R.C.A.F. Flyers had been requested to return to Canada from Europe earlier than originally planned because “it is our desire to get them home while people still remember they are Olympic hockey champions.” “Also, if they stayed longer, people would be saying they are playing just for expenses or that they are being exploited for commercial purposes.” Accordingly, a message was sent to the team last week suggesting it return about March 20.

Providence Fans Go Berserk Carl Sets New AHL Mark
PROVIDENCE, R.I.— Seven-hundred and 46 miles separated Carl. Liscombe from his wife on Thursday, February 26. While the veteran puckster walked impatiently around the R.I. Auditorium in Providence awaiting news from Detroit, things were really happening in the Motor City. There, in Osteopathic Hospital, Mrs Liscombe gave birth to a nine-pound, four-ounce baby girl. Word was flashed to Providence. Carl got the wire: “It’s a girl, 9.4 Mother doing fine”. That was all that Liscombe needed. For weeks he had been awaiting the arrival of the child; and for weeks, too, he had been chasing the American Hockey League record of 99 points scored in one season, held by Wally Kilrea. Sunday, February 29, Providence was slated to meet the Hershey Bears at R.I. Auditorium. Going into this struggle, Liscombe stood only three points…
