CHICAGO, Nov. 3 —(CP)—One of the most important player deals in National Hockey League history was negotiated today when Chicago Black Hawks, defeated in all six starts to Cate, traded brilliant Max Bentley and a rookie player for five prominent members of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Black Hawks broke up mod- ern hockeya most famous brother act-the bantam Bentleys, Max and Doug--to_obtain _ centre Gus Bodnar. wingmen Gaye Stewart and Norman (Bud) Poiie, and defence- men Bob Goldham and Ernie Dickens. <

The other Chicago player invoi- ved in the straight player deal, an- noumced after an estimated 10- hour pariey between ‘Toronto and Chicago officials. was rookie for- ward Cyril Thomas.

In sacrificing the fast-skating, sharpshooting Max Bentley, league- leading scorer for the last two sea- sons, the Hawks icruported what was virtually an entire starting team, except for a goaltender. The three forwards they obtained- Bodnar. Stewart and Poiie—-plnyed as s. unit with the Leafs starting with the 1943-44 season and at one time were hailed as a "kid line"

The combination never did get organized this year as Mosicnko suffered a broken leg in the League All-Star game at Toronto Oct, 13.

Manager Johnny Gottselig said he was "reluctant" to break up the brother combination. but stressed that "it had to be clone. because we needed fresh blood un-d no other club wanted any of our players ex- cept Max Bentley."

Gottselig said he will keep the Toronto trio of Bodnar. Poi-le and Stewart intact on one forward lino, with Goldham paired behind the bluellne alongside rugged Johnny Mari-uccl as Chicago's No. 1 de- fence pair.

Smythe Explains Reason For Deal

TORONTO. Nov. 3—(CP)—Man- ager Conn Smythe of Toronto Maple Leafs tonight told the Tor- onto Globe nd Moi] by telephone from Chicago that in swapping five Leafs players for Chicago's high-scoring Max Bentley and rookie Cyril Thomas, Toronto was thinking mainly of its centre ice position.

"If anything happened to can- tain Syi Apps we would be desper- ate." said Smythe. "I feel it's quite a gamble but that" it's worth because we're getting the League's leading scorer for centre ice dut- les. Bentley wit] probably play on a line with Joe Klukay and Don Metz."

Syi Apps, veteran centre-forward oi the Maple Leafs, is on a line with Harry Watson and Bill Ezinicki.
