BEEF ABOUT OFFICIALS
Some have dubbed the playoff( a ”home-ice series." Canadiensl have been spectacular in the two games in Montreal They havcl been wobbly in Detroit. wings have been unbeatable at home and ineffective in Montreal.
In Detroit Sunday night. Wings
unleashed enough power to trounce. Canadlens 5-1. While accepting the defeat, some Canadiens were bit-.
far about the officiating.
They complained Detroit": sec- end goal. which took the Wltlfl out sf Montreal. was illcrlal Thttv said Wlngs' Alex Delvecchio caught the puck in the air illlll his hand.' held it and then put it on the ice for Gordie Howe to bat into the net.
Floyd Curry got a blackeye. said -ft was inflicted by the elbow of Detroit's Ted Lindsay. Curry said he complained to referee Bill Chadwick but got a brush off. Butch Bouchard of Canadlens said the same thing.

up the question of Detroit officiat- im: at the next NHL meeting.
"(Touches or managers of four foams in the league have declared that you can't beat Red Wings in I):-troit." said Selke.
"If a visiting team gets ahead there's a penalty. If Detroit scores a sptttly kind of goal. it's allowed.
”I.ynii Patrick Boston. Conn Smythe Toronto. Happy Day (Tor- onto). Muzz Patrick (New York) and Dick Irvin (Montreal) have all said this openly. And I say it too. And so at the next meeting of the league I am going to ask all these gentlemen: "Do you really mean what you said?' If they say they did and do mean It. I am going to demand that a stop he tn this at once. And if they say they didn't mean it. I am 110- ing to tell them to shut up. and stop making cracks mi-an."
Throughout the series has had all its players form. Canadians have most a half dozen players casualties.
Caiiadiens may toss forward Dick Gamble into Tuesday's game. Gamble has been playing in the American league with Buffalo, eliminated Sunday night by Pitts- burgh in the league's final.

He wouldn't be drawn out on the other change he plans. It would concern a defence position but how that would work out is pure speculation.

ilslahd Chess Begins Here
The annual Prince Edward Is- land chess tournament will begin at the Charlottetown Y.M.C,A. on Monday next at 7:30 pm. This was decided last night at the an nual meeting of the Charlottetown Chess Club which elected Mr Allison MacKinnon president for the coming year. Mr. Edwin Johnstone will continue in office as secretary treasurer.
Termed the "game of kings," chess knows no barriers of langu- age. age or social standing. It is perhaps the only game In which the element of luck is not present. A player wins a game of chess by sheer skill and nothing else. A PhD. may be seen sitting down to a game with an over-all clad -mechanic and a young lad may become a formidable oppon- ent for a man. many years his senior,
Persons not knowing the game often marvel that two opponents can sit for hours in utter silence but to the lover of the game there is no way in which he can spend a more enjoyable period of time. In some of the major world tournaments tension becomes al- most unehdursble. Contestants have been known to pace the floor- and tear at the roots of their hair while the onlookers work themselvu Into a frenzy of emotion.
This year as usual the com- petition will be for the R. E. Mulch trophy which was gener- ously donsted by Mr. Mutch. him- self a lover of the game and a strong contender of former years. The present champion is Mr. D.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) e Allie Reynolds, former pitching star of New York Yankees. filed suit for S285,2.')0 against the Philadelphia Transportation Company Monday for iniurles allegedly suffered in a bus accident here on July 7, 1953.

Coach Jimmy Skinner of the wings smllliigly said he had no predictions.
General manager Jack Adams ventured a bit further. saying "we are a good road club and although this has been a home-Ice series so far there”: no reason we can't win a road game.”
Coach Dick Irvin w a s still steamed up over Gordie Howe's first goal of the hat trick, the goal that gave Detroit a 2-1 lead in the first period last night.
Irvin insisted the goal was Ille- gal, claiming that Alex Delvsc- chlo of the Wings had knocked or dropped the puck directly in front of I-Iowa's stick so that big Gordie could pop it into the net.

Turk Broda Denies Charges By Frontenac;
TORONTO (CF) - Turk Broda. coach of the Toronto Marlboro! branded as ridiculous Monday a charge that the Marlles' Gerry James was told to "get goeu. Jacques Marcotte."
Phil Watson. coach of Quebec Frontenacs. made the charge fol- lowing Sundays (to rout of his team by the Marlboros in the fourth game of their Memorial Cup junior hockey semi-final series in Quebec.
"Why should we go after Mar- cotte7" Broda said. "We dontt go out to get any player. If we're not good enough to beat Marcotte. we shouldn't be playing against them."
Broda and his team had left for Toronto when Watson made his statement.
Watson's accusation stemmed from an encounter between Mar- cotte land James after the 185- pound Toronto forward collided with the Quebec goalie during the fourth game. Marcotte went after James and drew a minor and mis- conduct. rrontenacs folded after the clash and Marlies took com- mand.
Toronto leads the series 2-1. The teams split the first two games of the series and fled the third.
