Twenty Games Left Before Playoffs

By BOB STRANAHAN If our Indianapolis Capitals entertain any hopes of spending American Hockey League playoff cash, the Blueboys must he going through some anxious moments these days as they watch the upsurge of the Cleveland Barons. : Cleveland, of course, is the club the Mowersmen will have to beat out to avoid being left out of the rich post-season series for the second straight season. The Barons hold a current three-point bulge over the:Caps and have a chance to make it five tonight when they entertain the leading Pittsburgh Hornets on Cleveland ice. The Caps are awaiting the outcome of this one with interest before going against New Haven at the Coliseum tomorrow night. A glance at the remaining schedule for the two .clubs shows Cleveland with 24 games left and 14 of these are on the friendlier home precincts. Indianapolis has 20 games to go and they are divided equally with 10 at home and 10 on the road. io

He said they may be married this spring. or perhaps later in the year. Miss Schierbrock is at Lujack’s home here for a visit. Misinterpreting a question of how he’ll like taking orders instead of giving them, Lujack said: ) Ce Cal “Fine: It will be a pleasure to have Sid Luckman call ’em for me.” } Then he caught on. “Oh,” he
