MONTREAL (C?)--President Clarence Campbell of the Na- tional Hockey League nounced Thursday he has fined coach Red Sullivan of New York Rangers $200 for encour- aging violence during a game in Montrea‘. Dec. 12 betw 1 Rangers and Montreal Cana- diens.

Ca -pbel in his statement said also that there was a "dec- laration of immunity" by Sulli- van to one of his players, to the effect that the player per- sonally wo d not have to pay any automatic fine.

Campbell related the incident

The aitercation was renewed in the penalty box “in the form of fisticuffs." Both players were given misconduct penal- ties. “which exhausted the bal- ance of the playing time and both retired from the game."

“In a subsequent dressing room interview reported in two New York papers, Rangers coach Red Sullivan is reported to have stated that he told Had- ’ ‘that if he got another shot at the guy in the penalty box to take it and not to worry
