We're determined to be in there fighting for that championship for Indianapolis.” Blake, the new Cap winger, is 22 years old, is five feet, nine inches tall and weighs 160 pounds.

They handled the champion Barons for 45 minutes last night in Cleveland, then succumbed to a late surge to suffer their second shutout of the season, 3-0. Thus, they face a “crucial” set of games with the dangerous Pittsburgh Hornets over the next weekend. First place in the western division of the circuit and a tie for the overall American hockey league will be at stake in the two meetings of the rivals.
