The City Hockey League got sway to a flying start ‘Pjuesday night and gave what. is estimated the largest crowd ln years a thrilling sixty minutes of action- packed hockey. The Legion-Navy dueiists gave the fans 14 goals, and plenty of skating interspersed with an assortment of body checks which shook the recipients from their upper molars to their boot straps. All in all it was a crowd- pleasing game and the fans roared their approval at the final oell.

A feature of games so far this season, and it not only pertains to this circuit, are the large scores chalked up. This, however, is partly riue to the teams being cv- enly matciied and the general public is more than pleased with

e wide-open brand of hockey ifled out. The only protests are liable to come from the goal 31mg- es who are busier than the pro- verbial traffic officer on Hughes corner on a Saturday night.

Reaction To

By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Prosa Stall Writer Lay that lace handkerchief down, Johnny—those are obviously croc-

odile tears you're shedding.

With three National Hockey Lea- gue teams still to be heard from, that seemed the initial reaction toda to Johnny Gottselig’s con- tent on that rival clubs are using rough stuff in an effort to ham- string his hustling Chicago Black Hawks, surprise package of the current campaign.

Pointing to knee ligament in- juries by Bill Msoienko when checked y Bill Moo in a game against Rangers at New York Dec. 30, Russia-horn Gottselig said last night the Hawks are tirr-d of being mauled around by bruiscrs like Moe and Bill Juzda on the Ranger rearguard.

"If that doesn't stop we can play rough too," said Gottsciig, whose fast, light tenni is ticd with Mont- real Canadiens for the league lead.

The Chicago boss disclosed the League has advised it ‘will investi- gate the injiiigv to Mosienico the Winnipeg whiz who teams with Doug and Max Bentley on nock- cy‘s hottest forward line. Gott- selig also said Detroit Rod Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs are pro- testing Ranger tactics.

In Toronto thc reference to a

“Crocodile Tears ” Seems

Lest protest drew emphatic denial from coach Happy Day, whose 5111110? Cup champions languish in fifth place 4% limes behind Boston Bruins. Day, more con- cerned about Toronto's five-game lflllfl! streak than rough play, said he has never made a protest against illegal play "by sny [Cam and I'm not go n; to start now"

The Chicago complaints cameos the injury-battered Bruins an- nounced they h. ve purchased Mike McMahon from Montreal Canad- lens for the season, with the Op- ll°ll 0f’ buying him outright at the seasons close. Earlier Bruins. who play at Detroit Thursday. an- nounced goalie Paul Blbeault will be returned to Montreal Canad- iens as a replacement for Bill Durnan.

Durnan broke his right hand last Saturday in the same game which cost Bruins the services of their two star centres, Milt Schmidt and Bill Cowlev.

The Boston-Detroit clash Thurs- day Will have considerable bear- ing on the third-place struggle, which finds Detroit now one nolnt ahead of Boston. The other NH, L. game Thursday sends Leafs to Montreal, whose Canadiens can move into undisputed leadership with a victory or a tie. Canad- lens now are tied with Chicago, two games ahead of Detroit.

NEW YORK, Jan. fD-Whilo the Giants still are flashing a heavy bankroll around the National Lea- Rue in order to field a contender this year, the business of dishing out $175,000 chunks isn't going t.o become habit-forming with presi- dent Horace Stoneham.

With their bankroll bloated from a million-plus home turnstlle count with a fifth place club last season, the Giants definitely are in the market to buy up talent-hut for i046 only. From then on the Oothamites ore counting 011 a growin farm system-to be hcnd- ed agan by Carl Hubbell for the next five years-to raise a crop of ball players that will keep them up in the loop.

And they hope to net a Walker Cooper or two in this manner which would beoa lot cheaper than the $175,000 the Giants hand Sam Breadon for the Cardinal cat-

cher.

Ono look at the "problem" fac- ing the star-laden Cardinals and New York Yankees-top farmers in the trade of growing ‘em your- self-has convinced the Giants and most of the other major out- fits that the only way to make a showing in the fla races is to develop their own payers.

Built up under HubbelPs direc- tion, the Giants‘ farm consists of three clubs owned outright and eight teams with which they have working agreements.

The International Lea ue Jer- sey Giants, Trenton, N. ., of the Interstate Inague, and Port Smith, Ark. (of the Western Association) are the Giants‘ property.
