Hughes’ who hails from Akron, also will appear on the bill. - Jackson is a welterweight who has been going places in the 147-pound division in recent months.

No Love for Referee

Buffalo fans although he did appear to have quite a liking for Eddie Shore, general manager of the Buffalo sextet, The two teams will play here tonight and Sunday and should another game be necessary, they will return to Buffalo Wednesday night. The sixth game would be played Thursday in Indianapolis and the seventh in Buffalo April 2. Larry Thibeault took a two-minute penalty for tripping Coach Sorrell with the game only three minutes old. It was his fourth penalty of the series. The Caps had but two shots at Bessette during Thibeault’s period in the cooler and both were saved by the Buffalo goalie. Only one of the shots, a sizzler by Ruelle, came close.

Lumley Turns ’Em Back Indianapolis was put at a disadvantage with seven minutes gone when Olinski was jailed for holding onto the puck. “He tripped and fell down by the boards in back of the Caps’ net and the referee charged him with holding the disc. Five times the Bisons drilled the puck at Lumley but each shot was turned back. Mr. Shore started his delaying tactics half way through the first period when he called Hayes over for a little talking to after Hayes had indicated that Atanas was to be jailed for clashing with Morrison at the blue line, Play was resumed after Buffalo caught a rest and then Ruelle smashed home the first goal of the game, taking the puck at the red line after some fine stick work on the part of Kowcinak and Ritson. He drove in hard at Bessette, outfaked him to smack the nets at 10:49, Kaminski tied the count seconds later when he caught Lumley out of the nets after a setup shot was

Hershey Evens Count

HERSHEY, Pa. March 24 (U. P.)~The Hershey Bears and Cleveland Barons were deadlocked at a game each in the American League hockey playoffs series. today. Hershey evened accounts with - Cleveland last night with a 3 to 1 victory at Hershey, h

when Thurier fired him a speedy pass from behind the Indianapolis nets. The time was 14:26. The pass was a beauty and Lumley didn’t have time to get his bearings before the disc was in the nets. Davidson drew another assist on the play. Hayes kept up his “I like Shore” tactics when Ruelle collided with Davidson at the blue line and Davidson's stick drew blood, cutting Ruelle’s eye. The referee, however, refused to call a penalty even though Ruelle had to leave the game with blood streaming down his face. The Bisons madé it 3-1 at 19:46 when Hunt banged in one right in front of the nets on assists from Davidson and Thibeault after Lumley had saved one shot, with his hand, and had dropped the puck to the ice. It bounced and Hunt fired it in. Sherritt drew a penalty for holding at the middle of the gecond period when he hung on to Atanas all the way from the blue line to the Buffalo nets. Thurier then evened things on the ice by holding, giving each team but four men on the ice besides the goalie, Ruelle returned to the game with 11 minutes of the second period gone, teaming with Ritson. Davidson made two dandy stops while the Bisons were short handed and the Caps stormed their goal. ; Now the Fists Olinski and Hunt started a “halfhearted battle of fisticuffs, but neither one seemed too enthused at the idea and just sort of let things slide. Kane drew a two-minute rest for tripping Davidson when the third period had opened and just after Lumley had stopped two vicious drives by the Bisons. It was all even, however, when two minutes passed as Lumley made two fine stops to prevent the only chance Buffalo had of scoring. Thomson lost his glasses in one mixup and while the boys were looking for them, one of the fans yvippeed from the gallery in his best Canadian accent, “Give ’em to Hayes, he needs ‘em more than you do.” Kane and Thibeault tossed away

their gloves with six minutes to go and drew twin penalties for roughing. Both boys collided at the boards and the Caps’ big Red wanted to start tossing ‘em and Mr. Thibeault thought he was equal to the occasion. Mr. Hayes settled the issue by tossing both in the cooler after he had his hair mussed up a bit in the encounter.
