THERE was a time when the Patricks, the Bouchers and ' the Cooks were predominate in professional ice hockey—but not any more. . . . The “big clan” honors

goes to the Gauthier family now. The Patricks are still in there, of course, but you'll only find one of them in action on the ice, although at times it seems as though Lester might, be tempted to once again don the pads and get in the cage for the Rangers. As for the Cooks, you'll see one of them in action now and again, « « « The Bouchers (Booshay is the way you pronounce that name) aren't working at the business of disc chasing now, But in the lineup of the Washington Lions of” the American Liockey league are three Gauthiers. . . . First there is Paulie (Polly) Gauthier, who tends the twine for the Lions. . .. Second there is Fernand Gauthier, who plays on one line. . . . Third there is Gaston Gauthier, who plays on another line for the Lions.

But, unlike the Patricks and the Bouchers and the Cooks, these Gauthiers are not brothers. . . . Naturally, all the Gauthiers in Canada are cousins, so that will have to be the limit of the kinship. But right now the Gauthiers have it, with three of the same name on one club. . . . The Washington club is to play the Indianapolis Caps at the fairground Coliseum rink Sunday night.

Minor League Player Dies in Action

THE FIRST PLAYER of organized bali to be killed in action in world war II probably is William John Hebert, whose relatives at 3 Stockton, Cal., have been notified by the navy department that he met his death while engaged with the enemy in the Gaudalcanal area, He is a former Oakland Pacific Coast league infielder. Robert Adams, second baseman who: was to have reported to the Cincinnati Reds after playing with Syracuse of the International league the past season, is in the army air forces at Santa Ana, Cal. . . . George Lacy, Louisville's 1942 catcher, is a private at Ft. Knox, Ky. } Hugh Mulcahy, pitcher of the Phils who was the first active major leaguer to enter the service, now is a lieutenant in the army air forces.

# » ” 7 ) n » ” MOE BERG, former American league catcher, is in South’ Americd helping cement inter-American goodwill, under the auspices of the Nelson Rockefeller agency. ... Berg quit baseball early this year to take up the work for which he was exceptionally ‘fitted, because of his knowledge of many languages. Look for the American association to abandon the post-season Shaughnessy playoffs next season. ... Agitation also is growing against seven-inning play for second games of double-headers, instead of the regulation distance.

Flynn All Right as Gentleman Jim

ONE OF the better prize fight movies is on the screen at the Indiana theater—Gentleman Jim—portraying the ring career of James J. Corbett, former heavyweight champion of the world. . . . His career is traced from his amateur boxing days in San Francisco to the big fight in New Orleans When he defeated John L. Sullivan for the title. Errol Flynn makes a hit as Corbett and the supporting cast is right down boxing fans’ alley, plenty of prize fight ring lingo and action, plus a lot of laughs. The picture is the real McCoy for veteran fistic fans who remember the Eighties and Nineties and it will give younger ring followers a few ideas on how tough the going was for boxers of

Coach Elmer Burnham, lacking the all-around team speed and manpower of the Hoosiers, has been grooming his Boilermakers for an all-out aerial assault that might possibly produce some surprises. Burnham hopes to have Kenny Smock, veteran left halfback from Indianapolis, back in full-time ac-
