By FRANK WIDNER For 40 minutks last night, the Indianapolis Capitals displayed some of 'the’ finest offensive hockey they have shown here all season, moving back into second place over idle Pittsburgh in the American Hockey league's western division by overwhelming Providence, 6-2. The Caps showed nearly 3500 fans, including more than 1000 servicemen who were guests of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, that they were happy about the ides of being = back on home ice. Indianapolis took a 3-0 lead, watched Providence score twice in the second period, and then poured on the heat in the final stanza to ram three more goals past the irate Mike Karakas, Red Kane, the stocky red-haired winger for the Caps, took- scoring honors for ‘the evening, punching home two goals within 52 seconds in the final period, The game almost brought about a’ test of the ultimatum made earlier|; in the week by league President Maurice Podoloff that the next} manager who leaves the bench to “abuse an official will be automatically and indefinitely suspended.”|: The warning came after a recent incident in which Manager Eddie Shore of the Buffalo Bisons was involved.
