HARRY LUMLEY, the Toronto castoff, certainly performed brilliantly for the Bruins al’ through the series. In our opinion, there would never had been e@ seventh game had it not been for old ‘Lum’. He rose to really sensational heights and even after the injury he received early in the second period Tues- day he was as god as ever. In fact we think Lumley had his greatest moments in the last half of the sandwich session.

It would have been swéet revenze indeed for Harry to have sidelined his former club, the fact that he didn’t succeed doesn’t destract one bit from his goal tending ability. He was a stal- wart throughout and nobody need be told that he still posses ges National Hockey League qualifications.

Should he need any further recommendations, we are sure that Toronto Maple Leafs. who discarded him three years ago, will gladly come up with them.

He was indeed'a real tough opponent. Leafs finally beat him but it was by the scantiest of margins.

THE FORBES KENNEDY MYSTERY

JACK ADAMS, leader of the Detroit Red Wing forces that did the Big Skid of the season, was talking about the flop of his team, and reasons why it should have happened, and came up with some good answers.

Also, he came up with what he regards as one of the mys- teries of Detrsit’s hockey season. “A guy we counted on this past season,” said Jack, “was Forbes Kennedy, a player we bought from Chicago, formerly a Canadien. Last season, his second in the lea~ue, Kennedy scored 11 goals. He's only 2 years old, ana with the experience he's had, it was reasonable to believe he would increase his goal output this season. Well. he didn't. He got only one goal and four assists.

“THAT'S MYSTERY ENOUGH” said the amiable Jack. “but # ‘isn't the mystery I mean. K's hard to believe but. next to most popular player of all the Wings with a big sports gathering in Detroit not long people came around to me and remarked:

the Montreal - Chicago Stanley Cup semi-final at Chicago last Saturday. Canadiens ‘won 5-4 on two late-game goals that sent Chicago fans into a wild, near- riot demonstration against the of- ficial.

Storey said he resigned be cause he was subjected to “un- warranted public criticism by Campbell. the man who should defend his referees.”

Sports columnists, for the most part, agreed he did the right thing. '

FROWN ON PILOUS

Some writers also frowned on the rinkside antics of Chicago coach Rudy Pilous who, by his actions, indicated that Storey had “choked up" by not calling two tripping penalties against Cana- diens. The Montreal goals fol- lowed these incidents with the ‘winning counter coming at 16:32 of the third period after Chicago had tied the score a few minutes earlier.

Westwick wrote Wednesday: “The most puzzling part of this particular episode . . . is that.this reporter has listened to nothing but the most consistent and most violent criticism of National League referees by managers of teams concerned in this playoff

. yet. Mr. Campbell has not yet taken action against his own managers for svilifying the work of National League referees. They've been called everything in the book without any apparent great concern on the part of the National League president. . . “There can't be a question in anybody's mind about Red Stor- ey’s sincerity... . If he has re- signed it may lead te a better lot for his associates. and the men who may follow him.” Elmer (Montreal Star) Fergu- son wrote that ‘when the league president, who should back, “not criticize, his officials, makes such public declarations as are credited to him, Storey manfully walked out... .”

ONLY COURSE OPEN

“He couldn't, in fact, do any- thing else’ and retain his self- respect.”

Ferguson also criticized what he termed “the sardonic buffoo- nery” of Pilous. The coach, he added, “was as much to zlame| for the whole riotous scene as’ anybody.”

Baz O’Meara, also of the Montreal Star, said it was “‘amaz- ing” that Campbell “should criti- cize his own senior official.” - “Storey did ‘the only thing that a man with gumption could do +. « he emerges from this mess with considerable stature . . Campbell should have fined Pil- ous enough to make him think twice about doing that sort of

WANTS STOREY BACK

Scott (Toronte Glebe and Mail) Young said that “in my opinion, Storey made some mistakes in refereeing that game, and Camp- bell was indiscreet but I would like to see a meeting sometime soon. a compromise, and a re- turn of Red Storey to the NHL.”

“I reserve the right to be criti- cal of any referee—but I dgn’t know a better one, night in and night out, than Storey.”

Jack (Winnipeg Trijune) Wells said “it is reasonable to assume Storey expecied support from his boss, Clarence Campbell.”

“Had he received it, he could have ridden out the storm, and finished the season... .

“Maybe the wrong man Quit.” CAMPBEEL ON SPOT. .

Ace (Halifax Chronicle-Herald) Foley said Storey’s resignation “certainly puts Campbejl on the spot.”

BALTIMORE (AP)—Baltimore Orioles Wednesday took back their problem pitcher, Billy Loes.

They agreed to call off last Wednesday's

trade of pitcher Vito Val of Wash. ington Senators. |

Loes reported te the Senators complaining of a sore right arm. They shipped him from Orlando, Fla., to Washington for a medi- ca) examination. Dr. George Resta, team physician, diagnosed “an incomplete rupture of a right shoulder muscle.”

Calvin Griffith, president of the Senators, threatened to ask base- ball commissioner Ford Frick to cancel the deal. Lee MacPhail, Baltimore-general manager, said that did not influence the agree- ment to call it off.
