We read a letter in the ”Sport- ing News" recently sneering at the tradition that the New York Yankees must be all gentlemen as well as skilful ball players. ”We don't pay to see gentltmen. the writer says. only to see ball play- ers."

We would be inclined to praise

the skies any manager or coach who made respectability a necessary qualification to belong to his team. and stuck to this through thick and thin. There are far too many hoodlums in the hockey game today. and their pre-and post-game activities do not tend to uplift the game in the eyes of many fans. They don't have to be powder-puffs either. They can be rugged. aggressive, bruising battlcrs. and even en- rage in ice-fights occasionally. Nor do they have to be plaster saints. Just red-blooded Canadian boys with a lot of the faults found in most people. Btit there is a definite limit which should not be crossed.

We often wonder if the hard- boiled Dick Irvin does his team any good by this hard-as-nails attitude of his. The only thing he regretted about the Richard affair that all the rest of his team failed to get into the blood- test. He is constantly making public remarks that create en- emies for himself and his Can- adiens, In the old days Connie Smythe and Art Ross were con- tinually needling each other. but there is something different in the wars of words which lrvin conducts with his rivals. Some- thing much more bitter than the contests which Rosa and Smythe waged to the delight of the fans which backed the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Ir- vin has some of the finest hockey players under him that ever put
