By FRANK WIDNER ~~ : J If anyone ever wanted 10 give 's title to the litle disma that was enacted on the coliseum ice last night between.the Indianapolis Capitals and the Cleveland Barons, he wouldn't be far wrong by choosing “Mayhem on Ice” or “Duck, Boys, Here Comes the Stick” That's the kind of battle the Caps and the Barons put on for the 4151 cash customers who saw Indianapolis jump into an early lead. and

in an effort to find a scoring combination. Caps Score First Manager Lewis was. the first to find a scoring outfit but . his’ success didn’t come until there was less than a minute and a half to play. After Phil Hergesheimer was jailed by Referee Ace Lee for charg-

Weaver, Bill Thomson and Bill Cunningham struck pay dirt. - Moose Sherritt, who was playing deférise, brought the puck up from the Caps’ defense gone through center ice and fired a terrific’ shot from the blue line. A save by Goalie Frank Ceryance bounced back into the front of the Cleveland net and Cunningham took an unsuccessful whack at it but Thompson came in fast to take the rebound and whip it into the meshes. Joins Hergesheimer : Cunningham joined Hergesheimer in the penalty -box seconds later when he was called for board checking and both men were taking a rest when the buzzer ended the first period, Adam Brown figured he ‘had a goal a few minutes after the second heat opened and when the goal judge overruled him, Adam set out to smack one into the Cleveland nets that was unquestionable. The scoring play was well

crowd was unaware that the Caps had made the count 2-0. Adam slammed a rebound shot past Ceryance after taking assists from Connie Brown and Joe Fisher at 6:29 of the period. Bill Quackenbush injured . his knee slightly in a pileup near the Caps’ goal and -he was replaced by Hec Kilrea. With 10 minutes left in the period, Cleveland made its most impressive bid to score.

-. )Weaver Saves Score

Floyd Perras kicked out two beautiful shots and when the Barons came back to make a third attempt, Weaver skated in fast in front of the Irfdianapolis goal to knock the puck into the boards. It was a fine bit of teamplay and the little blond-

of applause from the fans. Adam Brown raced down the ice on & solo play at 15:45 of the period, but was in too big & hurry and missed the entire goal. The Caps then made the score 3-0. Ceryance saved one attempt by Indianapolis and then Weaver scored with the Oleveland goalie laying on the ice. Assists went to Hal Jackson and Thomson and the time was 18:30. ; "The Barons finally got one past Perras with only 36 seconds of the final period gone. Norm Locking raced in fast after taking assists from Tony Leswick and Les Cun

on for the Barons. Adam Matches Goal

Adam Brown matched the score at 2:22 when he wheeled in front of the Cleveland net and slipped in a back-hander. Fisher and Connie Brown received the assists. The remainder of the game was a melee of clashing. sticks and hard checking, with Sandy Ross and

ing Jud McAtee. The Caps will play the second game of the semi-final series at Cleveland Saturday night and if a third game is necessary, it will be held here Sunday night.
