Hockey Managers Trade Words on Use of Warwick By FRANK ANDERSON The Indianapolis Caps can ‘feast on the dessert of a
Calder Cup championship to-
night if they beat the Cleveland Barons. Dessert is in
order—the rhubarb has been’
served. While the Caps and the Barons practiced for their fourthplay-off game at 8:30 o'clock in the Coli-
seum their respective general managers exercised their vocal chords. The Caps’ Dick Miller and: § the Barons’ Jim Hendy traded verbal punches at long range with Maurice Podoloff, president .of the Amgrican-Hockey League, as ‘referee. The Caps set their sights on being the first AHL club to go
through the playoffs undefeated. The Barons concentrated on snapping a three-game losing streak that the Caps started in Cleveland last Wednesday night. First Since 1942 A victory for the Caps will give -Indianapol's .its first Calder Cup pince 1942. A defeat would put a damper on Cleveland's otherwise great season. The Barons finished well ahead of the pack in the regular season race. The Caps finished 19 points back for second place in the overall stand ings.
The Caps are ready for their date with destiny. -Coach Ott Heller plans to stick with his
“winning combination of Defenses
men Al Dewsbury and Joe Lund, Forward Wings Rod Morrison and Nelson Podolsky and Center Don Morrison. The Barons are un certain. They still must find a combination to stop the Caps vaunted offense. So far they have thrown the defensive book at the Heller-skelters to no avail, Record at Stake The Caps have good reason for winning tonight. There's the record of being undefeated in the playoffs, there's a chance to keep the series from returning to Cleveland on Saturday and there's a very important reason, too. That's the fact that the players do not share in receipts of more than four games. If the Barons make a comeback the boys will be working on their own time. Yesterday charges and countercharges floated through the crisp April air. Miller challenged Hendy's use of Billy Warwick" in Sunday's game here. Warwick came up from Minneapolis, a Barons farm club, Miller threw bonus charges —extra money for winning tonight's game —at Hendy. The Caps had reported Baron players were talking about such an arrangement which is illegal. Hendy iashed back with charges
the-Caps-had-deliberately-malmed..
one of his stars. He suggested MiMer see a psychiatrist. Miller sald he wouldn't be crazy enough to believe that the Barons' Fred Thurier was injured enough to give way to Warwick. The charges were. dumped into Podolofi's ample lap. Podoloff said he would be here tonight to look info things. Still Steaming But Mille, is still steaming. rive Caps’ chief says “Podoloff “his mishandled the whole matter. It's official league business—my telegram to him deploring the Cleveland tactics—it's an outrage. Henin releasing my telegram to the press. Podoloff and Hendy should have kept the rhubarb quiet. All 1 wanted was an investigation by the league office. If Podoloff hadn’t sent my wire to Hendy, the whole affair might have heen settled without the commotion it caused.” «= That--might «be enough. but - i. wasn't. Miller had one more parting shot. “If the Cleveland bonus rumors were not authentic, they were spread (by Baron players) for the purpose of creating dissension in the Caps' ranks. The rumors could only be resolved by an official league denial. The denial was not forthcoming, We're still waiting for Podoloff to ‘do
something." With that as a backdrop the Caps and the Barons take the
Kage in thé fourth game of the’ Calder Cup final playoffs. ‘They'll have to play top hockey to outdo the show off stage.

Shifts to Toronto TORONTO, Apr. 13 (UP) “Home. was. never like this’ sald Coach Lynn Patrick of the New
York Rangers today as he looked around Maple Leaf Gardens, “hut I still* think we'll win the
Stanley Cup.” The orphan Blueshirts, chased out of their own Madison Square Garden by the circus, meet the Detroit Red Wings here tonight
in the second game of the Na- qoubtless class. tional Hockey League's Stanley,
Cup playoff finals with the Motor City sextet on the long end of a 1 to 0 game advantage. Patrick, usually a poker-faced pessimist, figured his skaters would win in a series going the seven-game limit, and diminutive Tommy lvan of the Wings actually gave him some moral support. “Patrick's right when he said the playoff will go the route’ Ivan said... “And it's going to be rugged. New York showed it was plenty tough when it walloped Montreal in the semifinals.” However, the Red Wings did a workmanlike job of polishing off the Rangers, 4 to 1, in the opener
in Detroit Tuesday. And they did it - without Wingers: Gordie Howe, Ted Lindsay or Jimmy
