By Jack Calder Canadian Press Staff Writer

TORONTO, Dec. 25~(CP)— Montreal Canadirns nivcr were contender: for the National Hoc- key League lead last season but that didn't stop Hector (Toe) Blake from topping the league in scor- ing,

Sports writers across Canada. in another of the year-end ballots conducted by The Canadian Press, votcd today that Blake's accom- plishment in winning the N. H. L. scoring title with a sixth-place club was the outstanding achieve- ment in 1939 Canadian sporis, Last spring Blake was awarded the Dr_ David A. Hart Trophy as most val- uable player in the league.

Most of the winter the Canadiens ran last. but the speedbali from Victoria Mines, Que. led the point- making parade almost from the start. At the finish he had-scared 24 of the Habitants‘ 155 goals and topped the second-place paint- maker, Sweeney Schriner of New York Americans then, but of Tor- onto now. by 47 100M115 to 44.

Votes were sprpad all over the map so that only three other ath- letes were mentioned more than once. Next to Blakes feat, the Wfii/CFS liked the swift Jump of from Osnawas Do- Amateur Hockey Champions to Toronto Maple Leafs of the National League.

It used to be almost a, regular thing for one junior or another to make the climb from amateur ranks to the big professional tent in one year, but it isn't any more, Taylor accomplished what few have done since Charlie Conacner, Harvey
