HAWKS IN COURT

BOSTON, Jan. 30 (U. PP.) Three players and the trainer for the Blackhawks were at liberty y on charges of assaulting a spectator at a National Hockey league game, pending a hearing April 16. Reg Hamilton, Joe Cooper and John Mariuccl, players, and Edward Froelich, trainer, pleaded innocent yesterday before Judge

which the Toronto Maple Leafs played, but with repeated violation of a league rule. which forbids gambling on any official league game, Mervyn (Red) Dutton, National league president who announced the expulsion of Pratt, said it was for “conduct prejudicial to the welfare of hockey.” “I have evidence that Pratt gambled on hockey games,” Dutton said. “He has been warned by the Toronto club on gambling, just as all players in the league were warned last year. When I still was faced with reports of Pratt's gambling on games, I appointed a special investigator, who brought me the evidence.”

No Denial Dutton said Pratt did not deny that he had gambled “when confronted with this evidence.” He emphasized, however, that there was no evidence ‘that the Toronto star had gambled against his own team. In Toronto, officials of the Maple Leafs said that Pratt also was punished for “failure to report an unsuccessful effort to bribe him to throw a game” but National league officials here would not comment on that angle. \ The rangy 30-year-old star, a colorful and popular star with players and fans alike, was a noisy, talkative player who frequently talked back to hecklers in the grandstand. During the 1943-44 season when he won the Hart most valuable player trophy, he set an all-time scoring mark for defensemen, making 17 goals and 40 assists for a total of 57 points. Leafs Make Bid Up to the time of his expulsion this season he had made three goals and 11 assists.

Another headliner working out at Douglas PAL gym this week in preparation of his Armory bid is James Cousins, current city, county and state A. A. U. champion in the 112-pound flyweight class. Defending his title in the open class this year will be Thomas Blair, another Douglas PAL ace, who won the Golden Glove title here in the 126-pound featherweight class last year. There's a long list of fast-moving novices being groomed, too many to count here, How many of them will see action this week will be known after the weigh-in and physical checkup at the Armory at 4 p. m. Friday. The tourney committee laid stress to the point that ALL boxers must weigh in at the Armory between 4 and 6 p. m. With 38 of the novices eliminated in the first two nights of the tourney, it's a cinch that the unseasoned lads will be on their toes this week to stay in the running. This group has dished out this year some of the most exciting action ever seen in Golden Gloves history here. And they'll be back in there swinging—some of them wildly— again Friday night, starting at 8:15 o'clock.
