SPORTS. By Eddie Ash
ICE CHIPS served up by the American Hockey ~ League Press Bureau: Ching Johnson, the old warhorse of the New York Rangers, still is playing hockey . . . and he’s 44 years old now. . . . Ching recently took over the Marquette (Michigan) club. . . . He was one of the candidates for the New Haven spot now held by
Coach Earl Robinson. . Paul Haynes drew his first match penalty in 10 years of pro hockey recently . . . he had a stick set-to with Big John Polich of the Philadelphia-Ramblers. Cleveland is setting a terrific pace in the Western group live the Barons are keen to finish on top . . . and then to grab the big honors in the playoffs. . . . Top scoring record for the season goes to- New Haven Eagles on that 11-4 victory over the Philadelphia Ramblers. Yoyng Charley Rayner has made the move to the majors from Springfield. . Only just out of the amateurs, the'kid is hailed by Metropolitan scribes. . Earl Robertson moved down ¥rom New York to Springfield to replace him. * Norman Calladine is one of the youngsters in the American ~ % Hockey League who looks highly promising. . . He is with the Ramblers and came up from the Baltimore Orioles amateur club this season . . . a little on the light side, 155 pounds at 5 feet 9 . inches, he is plenty shifty. Not too many years ago hockey was first introduced professionally in the United States, but the gamé was known long before then, : In fdct the first official ‘ice hockey rules book in this country was published as early as 1897. They must have made the rules for such players as Dit Clapper of the Boston Bruins, Eddie Shore of Springfield and Hooley Smith of the New. York Americans, . Surely their names seem 40 have been ‘in the headlines that long.
Lewis Named On Mythical Team
KF" THE American Hockey League ever decided to recruit a team composed of team owners and managers, it could do all right by itself. . Here's a lineup that wouldn't go toa badly in any competition: Goal—Tiny Thompson, Buffalo. Defense—Eddie Shore, Springfield; Herb Mitchell, Hershey; Herb Gardiner, Philadelphia, Forwards—Earl Robinson, New Haven; Bun Cook, Providence; Bill Jook, Cleveland; Larry Aurie, Pittsburgh, and Herb Lewis, Indian« >apolis. \ Not a bad club in their hey-day. . . Mitchell of Springfield if a referee were needed.

. PERHARS THE best known trainer in the American Hockey League is Harvey Stone of the Springfield Indians. . He also doubles in brass during the baseball season as trainer of the Springfield Nationals of the Eastern League. Cecil Dillon, now of Providence, and who started the season with the Indianapolis Capitals, is one of the few players to work ~ _ in the National League who grabbed more than 200 points during ~ his career with the New York Rangers and ‘the Detroit Red. Wings. + « . He is listed at 297. 4
Picks Up Where He Left Off
» FREDDY THURIER, the young Springfield center who burhed up the league in a scoring way early in the season, is back with the Indians, ready to pick up where he left off. . . . When Thurier left ihe linepp he had 33 points to his credit. . . . Hes moved up to 37.

Last night the Caps were leading Buffalo’s basement residents, 3 to 0, at the end of the second period, and the more statistically minded followers were remarking that Slim Jim Franks hadn't had a biscuit in his - station fer some 111 playing minutes.

Then the third period started, and sawed-off Maxie Bennett started punching at close range. That assault was beaten off, but Bennett came back, as you would expect, this of Messrs.
the first Bison goal was in at 3:24. Still the Bisons stampeded the Indianapolis goal, and Bob Gracie came face to face with Franks, but our Jimmy won this argument.

All five of ’em were in on us again, and Chuck Shannon became so wrought up he began slashing Hal Jackscn, at which point Jackson gave Shannon a shove into the cage, making Franks look like a caught fish in the netting. The referee wouldn’t . stand for such shoving around, and he ordered both Shannon and Jackson to the penalty box. The red bench looked like home by now to Jackson, who already had spent 12 minutes of the first 40 meditating there.
Same Old Story
With a minute to play, goalie Bill Beveridgeiwas removed for a more ‘mobile Buffalo hand. The Caps were’ rushed; somebody tried to stick-handle instead of lifting the puck out to center-ice, and Klein rammed home the tying goal at 19:44. It was Buffalo, 3; Indianapolis, 3,. and the Bisons wouldn't have allowed a panzer division inside that blue line in-the overtime period.

Champion Willie Hoppe today again was the man to beat in billiards. Only nine days after he began his double-time pace to make up for time lost because of illmess, Hoppe was the only undefeated contestant among the 17. entered in the world’s three-cushion billiard tournament. He won his ninth consecutive match last night from John Fitzpatrick of Los Angeles, Pacific Coast champion, 50 to 49 in 59 innings, but' only after his most @ifficult contest since he won his title last ‘year. The field of undefeated contestants was narrowed down to one when Joe Chamaco of Mexico City defeated Jay Bozeman of Vallejo, Cal, 50 to 43 in 53 innings! Hoppe looked weary and pale under the dazzling table lights in the darkened, smoke-filled arena when he met Fitzpatrick, a newcomer to the world tournament. He began with confidence, however, running three billiards in the first inning, two in the second and three again in the third. But with the seventh inning he began to falter, missing shots ‘that ordinarily would have been easy for the master. The spectators were sitting on the edges of their chairs when Hoppe came up in the 58tH and with two quick strokes finished off his skillful opponent. Hoppe meets the unpredictable Chamaco tonight.
