Zale was willing, rugged and unable to gel close enough to his opponent to do real harm. In the seventh Conn had everything to himself—except a punch.

Pitt Hornets Menace Caps

TONIGHD-<Indiasapolia at Pittsburgh; evela!

Hershey at Cl TOMORROW-—Hersh at . Indisuay-

olis; Cleveland at Providence Times Special PITTSBURGH, Feb. 14. — The Hornets, Pittsburgh’s hockey club,’ is fumbling at its shoe-laces today, champing to get at the Indianapolis

upset. The Hornets are rapidly getting a home-town reputation as “upsetters de luxe,” after knocking off Hershey, the league leaders, Wednesday night, 7 to 3. The Caps come here fighting Hershey for the league lead and Cleveland for second place. Following the Indianapolis spurt ip the last few weeks, during which time they won seven, tied two and lost one in 10 games, Pittsburgh has given up hope of a place in the playoffs, but is fighting to put Buffalo in the cellar. The Renaissance Larry Aurie’s boys have had a remarkable renaissance since starting the season with six straight losses. They are now a hard-to-beat club and are given a good chance to cap the Caps’ hopes for a victory. The Hornets have turned into scoring fools in the latter part of the season. On a recent road trip, they won three games, tied one, lost one and scored 30 goals. They began the road trip Jan. 25, beating the Providence Reds, 6 to 4. They lost fo Springfield, 8 to 5, the following Wednesday, but on Jan. 29, whipped Hershey, 7 to 1. It was in this game that Red Heron made a new all-time scoring record for a single game of six goals.

They beat Philadelphia the follow- |: ing Saturday, 8 to 5, and then tied|| New Haven the next night, 4 to 4.|
