Horvath, fiery-tempered centre, who drew a $75 fine for an out- burst in Montreal last Sunday, found the range on a pair of blaz- ing shots which skimmed the ice. He tallied on a 30-footer at 3:15 of the first period and on a 2 Deteat Wings 2-1; Horvath Scores Both Goals NHL4eading eighth goal in nine games while his nearest rivals, Montreal’s Bernie Geoffrion and Marcel Bonin, have six each in 11 starts. Veteran Bruin goalie Harry Lumley eared headed for his 70th regular season shutout until Gary Aldcorn lifted a 35-footer through a screen midway of the third period. The loss was the second ie three game for Detroit which had played its first seven without footer at 9:11 of the finale. Horvath has_ registered his a loss. The Bruins got started in the SPORTS FRONT By PIUS CALLAGHAN ‘ ...-IT’S THE SECOND last day in October and still nothing de finite in regard to our hockey plans for the 1959-60 season, We are not suggesting that the league should be getting un- derway at such an early date but we do think it’s high time that we had some word on what to expect in the way of enter- tainment for the Sports Arena and Civic Stadium for the next four or five months. : ‘ We have tried unsuccessfully to nail down at least a few facts but nobody we asked could give us anything that was more than in the rumor stage. PRESS DESPATCHES in this last five or six weeks had some newsy rumors that never got by the rumor stage. Leo Durocher was considered almost a sure bet to go to Cleveland as the Indians’ manager but that fell flat when Joe Gordon was hir- ed once again and at an increased salary. After Fred Haney resigned at Milwaukee, rumors came thick and fast about his successor. Harold ‘Pee Wee’ Reese was first mentiéned and we remember reading that the job was as good as his. After a few days, Reese’s name was forgotten and Bridie Tebbetts was heralded as the new pilot. Before that story had time to be forgotten, Charlie ‘Chuck’ Dressen was signed as the Braves’ field boss. These are a couple of the top rumors that didn’t pan out in fact. WE DON’T DOUBT that sportswriters had good cause for their stories regarding Durocher, Reese and Tebbetts. They had received tips somewhere along. the line and built their story 7 around such tips, Even though the tips didn’t prove good ones, they did give sports readers some interesting copy. We were taken to task by a Summerside sportswriter for circulating a rumor that the western capital might come up with two hockey teams this season. He suggested that we not be foolish and went on to tell his readers what was needed in hockey wircles here this winter. Our columnist friend apparently got an entirely wrong im- pression from our column. We never advocated that Summer- side have two hockey teams. But we hasten to inform our friend that our rumor was not manufactured by ourselves. A defence- man, who performed last season for Navy Tars, told us he was approached by Summerside interests to see if he could line up about five players from Charlottetown. We have no doubt about the truth of this statement even though nothing ever came from it. There was talk at the time that Summerside’ might be able to ice two squads if Charlottetown could do likewise. OUR SPORTSWRITER friend claims he has not yet heard a rumor about hockey plans for the coming season and speaking of us says “this lad must have a great ear’’. Since the first of October the air has been thick with rumors and we are amazed none of these made their way to the ears of this Summerside writer, Did he not hear that an attempt was made on September 28 (that’s over a month ago) to organjbe an Island leacue with RCAF and Saint Dunstan’s participating.? It is indeed strange that not even a rumor of this made its way out because that meeting was held in the town of Summerside. We: could give out with a few more rumors at the present time but we deem it advisable to keep quiet for a few days. We will have something definite to report on the matter. JUST BECAUSE we write this column in Charlottetown is no reason why we.should give it a Charlottetown slant. Our readers are not confined to any particular section of the province. We are interested in an Island league that will. attract fans to the Sports Arena and Civic Stadium and that will be the case if the league is well balanced. Whatever setup is the best for competi- tion and for fan interest is the one this colummist is behind. We think the promoters from Charlottetown and Summerside see the whole thing in the same light and they will not present anything resembling that farce of a year ago. So hockey fans, please be patient. Right now things look a whole lot rosier than this time last year, This could be a highly successful season. THIS IS NOT RUMOR. The minor hockey program that has been carried on so suc- cessfully for several years here at Charlottetown will again be in operation for the 1959-60 season. It is planned to get action started about the middle of November and once again the Abeg- weit association and physical fitness director, Brigadier Bill Reid, will be looking after the show. Last season about 700 youngsters took part in the winter pro- gram and it’s a safe bet that number will get a hike this coming It's a big task running this kind of a m and the pro- é moters are surely deserving of the fullest ation. YOUNG TED HAMPSON must prove to the Maple Leafs that they made no mistake in releasing Brian Cullen to the New York Rangers It was, in effect, an even trade which switched Cullen to the New York Rangers and Hampson to the Leafs. The Rangers put up the necessary $20,000 to draft Cullen and Leafs paid the identical price later on when Rangers offered Hampson on waivers. ‘Of course, if the deal goes against the Toronto club, it will be nothing new. They have quite a record as far as ‘bad’s deals . They first period behind a brilliant 14-, save performance by Lumley and aggressive defence.
