In the e assume that most of you out there know Ernie Dick ens but it is doubtful in deed whether or not you Are acquainted with the rather devious Means by which he was placed on the negotiations list of the Toronto Maple Leafs a couple of years ago. At that time Dickens was with Falcon rangers now rangers and was one of the West s better known hockey bad men. He also As now was one you know of a professional Prospect and for that reason several scouts from Here and there took their pens in hand and informed Home bureaus of tie fact that in the Manitoba Junior South division there was a find. But Dickens was Only 16 or 17 at the time and there appeared to be no hurry. Besides some of the clubs interested had full negotiation lists and therefore stalled slightly while investigating further. But lome Chabot then coaching the then Falcon rangers communicated with Connie smythe of the to Ronto Maple Leafs and Dickens from that Point Onward has been on the Toronto list. Here is the catch. When Lester Patrick came up Here in the autumn to open his annual hockey school he was highly an noyed with or. Chabot and did t mind showing it. On one occasion he stomped up to said or. Chabot and quoth the following a you know of a Fine Guy you Are turn ing Dickens Over to he declaimed. Why that Guy was my what do you proper asked Chabot slightly nettled if reports be True. My property said Patrick. I bought the equipment for that club this season and. Was supposed to have first that is what i hear. And the interpretation of the Story would appear to be either 1 Patrick was thinking of some other year 2 Chabot did not know that the rangers were buying the equipment that appears to be most or 3 someone pulled a fast one. Do not be alarmed unduly by the recent statement that Winnipeg maroons will begin training in St. Louis. According to an amplified report obtained by this Bureau tuesday from business manager Johnny Petersen the St Louis training will take Only about two Long enough for our Friend Mowry the manager to try out a few youths and see whether or not they Are Good enough to take to. Shakopee. It is no secret that maroons will have Many new play ers. But Joe says he has the kind coming up that will please every one which is a Fine thing. In a 3 Portage terriers now have Scott Young beaten every team save Kenora in the South division and tues Day night s game must have been particularly Gratifying to Jimmy Creighton Portage coach. Few Creighton worked with Brandon last season and had a much different Deal than he has at Portage. In Brandon lie had a team of stars almost the same team that has been sluggishly this season. At Portage he signed mainly Young players laying a foundation for next season and meanwhile his erstwhile charges the stars have slumped and mightily. Before Landis took control some magnates did just about As they pleased. They covered up players but even when they knew the commissioner was suspicious of their movements they continued to connive. For almost two years Landis has been prying into the Detroit club s activities of amassing a Large collection of Young and promising players through under cover deals and plenty of juggling. The tigers did this at the expense of the players. They gained title to hundreds of youngsters by secret arrange ments with minor clubs where by they became owners without admitting it publicly. F Andis action was in Accord Ance with his warning when he ruled against Cleveland indians some time Back. At that Ime the judge said the next of gender will suffer the full Detroit and its affiliates cannot say they did not realize the risk they were taking. And now All baseball men know that Landis Means what says. He is determined to keep Lakehead boy with red wings Detroit Jan. 17. Jack Adams of Detroit red wings announced tuesday night that Stan Robertson 21-year-old Centre Star with Cornwall of the Quebec senior hockey join the wings for their National league game against the Maple Leafs at Toronto thursday. Adams said that after the game Robertson probably will be shipped Down to the Detroit farm at Indian Apolis where Herbie Lewis inter National american club is badly in need of replacements. Adams said that Robertson for Merly of fort William ont., had a tryout with the red wings last fall. He is leading his Amateur league in scoring. Midget Booster lit thursday at olympic rink the Winnipeg midget hockey league will hold its annual Booster night at the olympic rink on thursday night with four games highlighted by this season s second meeting be tween East Kildonan bosons and Excelsior. Bosons upset Excelsior unbeaten the mid get league last saturday by Cut Ting off the examen Streak of Vic tories at four. Excelsior won the provincial midget title last season and Are rated just As strongly this year. But. Bosons Benny hat skin s Young hustlers arc a definite threat to Excelsior supremacy. This game will be played at eight o clock. Immediately following will be another interesting game be tween panthers and St. Paul s. Monarchs meet Salisbury at ten while St. John s leads off the Bill against seals at seven. Competition has grown keen in Western Canada s senior hockey leagues. Nip and tuck races Are in Progress for the leadership in every Loop. Calgary stampedes have Only a one Point Lead Over Turner Valley oilers in Alberta re Gina Vic aces had a similar margin Over Saskatoon quakers up to yesterday while in the Thunder Bay Loop the Allen cup holders port Arthur Bear cats held Only a two Point Lead Over their rivals Geraldton Gold miners and fort William wanderers. Two Winnipeg teams. Clark s cruisers and lombards have stepped in front in the Mani Toba league with cruisers two Points to the Good at present. Trail smoke eaters winners of the world hockey title in Europe last year and Allan cup winners the previous Winter have a Clear margin West Kootenay league. Standings there Are reckoned on a percentage basis because Trail and Nelson Maple Leafs have played twice As Many games As Kim Burley Dyn miters. Up to last night Trail had a three game Lead Over Nelson with Kimber Ley far behind. Lethbridge Maple Leafs Al Berta champions last year. Have hit a winning stride that May bring them a second provincial Crown. They Are in third place four Points behind Calgary after defeating Edmonton Fly ers 7-1 and Cole Man canadians 11-1 monday. Loss of defence Man Pete Slobodzian appears to have slowed Regina Vic aces. Slobodzian. Considered one of the Best professional prospects in the West broke a leg at flin flon Man., 10 Days ago. Since then Vic aces Defeated the Tail end Yorkton terriers 3-21 in overtime and 5-4, and lost to Moose jaw mailers 8-6. There s Detroit tigers have been made to suffer for their sins in connection with the expose of illegal a Noeuv Landis will prob ably be accused of grandstand play for personal glory in his ruling that 92 players become free agents be cause the deals by which Detroit tigers and its farm clubs had Cov ered them up were contrary to baseball Law. But any such accusation will obviously be nothing but a spiteful gesture against the Man who has. Purified one of the most complicated businesses in the world As Long As professional baseball has judge Landis it will never lose its hold on the american Public. He constitutes the the game has. Greatest safeguard the game clean not giving it an Opportunity to revert Back to similar conditions which led up to he famous White sox scandal. Landis rules with an Iron hand but a just hand. He set up a code immediately following the White sox business that was enthusiastically accepted by club owners. With no interest in any club the commissioner has refused to tolerate any thing that smacks of dirty work. How will the owners react now to Landis drastic rulings the past two Days for some judging from comment at various times in the american press Many powerful owners have been desirous of ousting the aged in scr of base Ball. If this is True it Only proves that Landis rigid and Heranic to the principle of fair play decency and keep the game clean is appreciated by the great american Public. The enemies of the respected judge will have a mighty Tough time kicking him out further than that 99 per cent of the players will Back up judge Landis. He has always been on their Side and his latest ruling certainly gives the boys a break. Being free agents they May now sell themselves and the bidding for their services will Range from a few Hundred dollars to several thousands.
