282 Castilloux Rallies to Win Decision over Jones and Retain Welter Title 10 I.L. PLANS TO HELP LEAFS AGAIN THIS YEAR BLAKE TO GET REST I CASUAL CLOSE-UPS I By OVERCOMES MARGIN GAINED BY HIS FOE IN OPENING ROUNDS A BIT OF A BRAWL BLOSSOMS IN THE GARDEN PROSPERITY NOTE Half a dozen hockey games were played In the N.H.L. over the week-end and they attracted a total paid attendance of 73,572 customers. That la an average of 12,262 per game, which Li a pretty buxom record for -packing 'em into the various hockey emporia around the circuit. Only two crowds were under the 10,000 mark.

Canadiens drew' 9,442 here on Saturday night, and that figure might have been well up around the 12,000 notch had the Habitants won a couple of games prior to the week-end. The other attendance under 10,000 was at Detroit Sunday where 9,739 came out to see the Bed Wings; there again, it was a case of previous losses taking their toll on the gate receipts. Last Thursday, for instance, Detroit fans turned out in their greatest number since the palmy Stanley Cup days of 1937 a throng of 12,581 jamming into Olympia to watch the Wings, who had then dropped three straight, engage the colorful and league-leading Toronto Maple Leafs. But the Red Wings lost their fourth straight that night and even their 2-1 victory Saturday at New York (11,101 paid) over Brooklyn was not enough to win back their hom following in such profuse quantities as before. At Madison Square Garden the next night (Sunday), 12,084 fans attended to watch who had won once in five starts, and the Habitants who hadn't won at all up till that time clash.

But the biggest crowds of the week-end, the ones that pulled the average up over 12,000, were those at Chicago and Toronto, where the Black Hawks and Maple Leafs disputed the league leadership twice and wound up right where they were when they started. The famed battle all around the town for possession of the crown by the Lion and the Unicorn had nothing on the Hawk-Leaf duel for the N.H.L. lead in public interest; 31,206 saw those two game, 12,715 in Toronto on Saturday and 18,491 in Chicago Stadium Sunday. It seems that just about every time the Black Hawks play at home nowadays they set a new season's record and they have had few if any crowds below 18,000 in their four home appearances to date, all of which they have won, incidentally, by one-goal margins. 0 t4s 1 mf 1 A spot of trouble broke out during the Canadien-Ranger game at Madison Square Garden, New York, on Sunday night when PHIL WATSO and KENNY REARDON came to blows.

They were quickly separated. In the middle of the picture, Phierce and Phurious Phil is being restrained by the referee, while on the right, one of the officials in pulling Reardon (No. 4) away has wrestled both -f Kenny and himself to the ice. That's MURPH CHAMBERLAIN bending over them. To the left of Chamberlain is TONY GRABOSKI, facing camera, and TONY DEMERS (19).

Just beyond Demers is NORM TUSTIN, of Rangers. On the extreme left is RAY GETLIFFE. No. 18 of Rangers is BILL JUZDA, and in the background between Juzda and Watson is SUGAR JIM HENRY, who took a 6-4 trimming from the Habitants that night. ww vvona rhotou canidiin colonial Airji.

5 SENIOR ENTRIES IN RED DEVILS? Tommy Gorman makes a He believes that when certain N.IIL. clubs like Canadiens, Detroit and Toronto, which have alternative sets of uniforms in which white is the predominant motif, and have to wear th.m, then the referees and linesmen should be provided with flaming red sweaters in place of their usual white jerseys so as to avoid possible confusion in fast plays, scrambles and fights on the ice. If auch a proposal were ever adopted, the referees, who so frequently are consigned to the nether regions in the thoughts and words of irate fans and managers, would doubtless be tagged the Red Devils in no time at all. Wings Give Hiller and Pay $5,000 ToAcquireMcReavyFromBoston IT'S THE BREAKS THAT COUNT Frank Patrick, Canadiens' business-manager, back from the trip to New York (and feeling much better than when he left here Saturday night as the team came up with its first win of season Sunday), put his finger on the difference between the losing Habitants of Saturday and the winning Habitants of Sunday as follows: "It was the first time this season we got the breaks. In every game, there is a certain number of breaks.

If they all go against you, you can't win. We have played seven games, and it wasn't until the seventh on Sunday that we felt we had got our share of them for the first time." True, some of our players were a lot better. Joe Benoit started to click and got his first goals of the season. Saturday here you wouldn't have known Tony Demers was in the rink; Sunday, Demers was a big star. There were a couple of others who also showed improvement; and a couple more who perhaps weren't as good Sunday as they were Saturday.

But the main difference was that some of the breaks began to run our way for a change." Montrealcr Gives Away 10 Pounds to Vancouver Fighter But Takes Verdict SCORES KNOCKDOWN Caitillonx Climaxes Come, back by Flooring Jones for No-Count in 10th 4,000 Fans Attend Toronto, November 24. Swift-punching little Dave Castilloux of Montreal gave away 10 pounds to Sonny Jones of Vancouver here tonight, but came with a DAVE CASTILLOUX ruh in the closing rounds to take 10-round decuuon and retain his Canadian professional welterweight boding crown.

The Montreal fighter threw the hardest punch of the round to knock Jones off balance, but Jones was given the round. The third was all Jones, who threw lefts and rights In quick flurries. He outpunched Castilloux to one in the fourth, and countered a Castilloux rurh in the fifth to win the round, although he suffered his cut eye.

(P) The International Baseball League came to the aid of the ailing Toronto Maple Leafs today with a revenue-boosting plan after the last-place club's new president.

Peter G. Campbell, told league moguls he represented a syndicate of Toronto sportsmen determined to continue operation in the circuit Campbell, who recently took over as head of the club when it appeared uncertain whether the Maple Leafs would field a team in 1942, informed the league's directors at their annual meeting a new group of backers had been organized to support the team. The league, which elected Campbell a new director, decided to allot Toronto 50 per cent, of the net receipts of seven Sunday games played away from the Canadian city which has no Sunday baseball. Under the plan, each of the seven other league clubs will designate one of its home Sunday games against Toronto as a "home" game for the visiting Leafs and share half the receipts. A similar plan was in operation last summer.

Meantime, the day's other major developments arose outside meeting rooms and centred around the circuit's 1942 managers with five clubs already committed to their pilots. VINCENT STAYS. These include AI Vincent at Buffalo, John Neun at Newark, Al Thomas at Baltimore, recently-appointed Jewel Ens at Syracuse and Tony Cuccinello at Jersey City. Horace Stoneham, president of New York Giants, announced Cuccinello will be retained as pilot of the Giant Jersey City farm team, spiking a report to the contrary. Whether Tony Kaufman will return to Rochester will be decided at the minor leagues' meeting next week at Jacksonville, while Montreal representatives indicated Clyde Sukeforth.

League President Frank J. Shaughnessy announced the 1942 season. embracing a 154-game schedule, will open April 16 and close September 7.

The circuit's directors elected George Weiss, general manager of the New York Yankee farm system and vice-president of the Newark Club, as league vice-president and went through the formality of naming William J. Manley as league secretary-treasurer. Manley has held the post 30 years. Baseball Royals Open Season Here April 30 Syracuse, N.Y., November 24. (Pi Frank J.

Shaughnessy, president of the International Baseball League, announced today the circuit's 1942 opening day games following the annual meeting of th league's directors. The opening dates: April 16 Toronto at Syracuse; Buffalo at Newark: Rochefter at Baltimore and Montreal at Jersey City. Teams playing away from homa April 16 will open at home as follows: April 29 Jersey City at Toronto. April 30 Syracuse at Montreal; Newark at Buffalo and Baltimore at Rochester.

Toe Blake, still bothered by his injured leg, will be rested for two or three days this week while the remainder of the squad resumes full-dress rehearsals today at the Forum.

Blake was hurt prior to the Toronto game on November 13, but has played steadily ever since, with the result that the torn ligament in his calf has not had sufficient rest to permit it to heal. Despite this handicap, which has kept Toe under wraps, he has been the most consistent point-producer on the local club to date and is well up in the N.H.L. scoring race with seven points, four of them goals. Usually Blake's leg feels fine in the early stages of a game, but it causes him to tire along about the third period. So Coach Dick Irvin has decided to give Toe several days off this week in the hopes that he will be completely sound again by the time the Stanley Cup-holding Boston Bruins visit here on Saturday.

Irvin was pleased with the way his players performed in New York to win, 8-4. Said Dick. "They had real fight there to come back the way they did three times. Gardiner played well, too, and deserves plenty of credit. And a lot of our boys who hadn't been clicking before started to go at last.

You'll find those men in particular better from now on. "Players have a lot of funny little superstitions, and one ol them concerns that first goal of the season. If it doesn't come early, they worry about it. It preys on their mind and they tighten up when they have chances to score and miss them. Once they do get over that first hump, it makes a big difference to them." NO FURTHER.

INJURIES Aside from Blake and, of course, Elmer Lach who is still on the sidelines with his broken arm and will be for a long time to come the Habitants are free of injuries. Yesterday a few players were out for a skate of their own volition, 'the Reardon brothers, Tony Graboski and Charlie Sands, but today everybody will be back on the ice at 11 a.m. for a hard drill, except Blake and Lach. Canadiens' one victory, however, has not yet proved enough to choke off the rumors of possible changes in the line-up. Two rumors were going the rounds yesterday, both of which were denied by Canadicn officials.

One Wfla that Andy Anton, burly defenccman of the amateur Canadiens, was being offered a pro contract, and the other was a renewal of that evergreen report that Royals' Razzle-Dazzle Line of Buddy O'Connor, Gerry Heffernan and Pete Morin would be signed by the N.H.L. team. Tommy Gorman said he knew nothing at all about the gosip concerning Anton and that he had not been offered a contract and would not be. As far as the Royal line is con cerned, the three are stili in the back of the Canadien leaders' minds as they have been for quite a while, but nothing is imminent in the mat ter of signing them. Irvin plans to look them over again during the course of tomorrow's Q.S.H.L.

The Canadicn centre-ice star who broke his left arm in the first game ef the season isn't on skates or anything like that and he won't see any action for' another couple of months at the very least.

But he has already commenced conditioning his injured arm. It's not in a cast, but it is still in a sling. However, Elmer is exercising it. At the drop of a hat or less hell painfully but proudly raise that left hand and touch his nose; no he's not thumbing his nose at you. That is just one of his prescribed exercises.

And pretty soon his training will get tougher; they're going to give him a tennis ball to squeeze in order to strength the fingers of that left hand. CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY Teddy Graham, the former Chicago, Maroon and Boston defence-man, landed in Britain with the most recent convoy of Canadian troops. The blond and highly-educated Graham gave up one pip to get overseas, relinquishing his captaincy and becoming a lieutenant The same despatch mentioned that Lt. Graham was the third star to have reached Britain, having been preceded by "Capt. Joe Lamb and Capt Stew Evans." It la Captain Joe Lamb, right enough, but Stew Evans, the ex-Maroon and Canadien defence stalwart, will be very surprised to learn that ht is in Britain while at the same time he is working at his very good Job with the personnel department of the Ford Motor In Detroit.

men around here believe that the ex-hockey player in question is really Stew Adams, a Calgary product who used to play pro hockey at Minneapolis, saw some service with Chicago Black Hawks around 1930, and finished up at Syracuse. We see, too, by the papers, that Freddy Wigle, also a captain now, and a former McGill hockey and football great, who won all star centre rating in the Big Four with Montreal, is overseas.

CHAMPION TROTTER LEASED TO BREEDER Hanover Shoe Farm Secures Service of Spencer Scott With Mark of 1.55y4 Hanover, November 24.

(fP) Spencer Scott, world's champion trotting stallion owned by Charles W. Phellis, Greenwich, has been leased to the Hanover Shoe Farms for a term of years, the farms management announced today. The terms were not disclosed. Spencer Scott, now aged four years, set the trotting stallion record of 1.574 at Lexington, last September 24, bettering the former mark of 1.584 set in 1916 by Lee Axworthy. The stallion also holds the four-year-old trotting record for full horses, his mile at Lexington having beaten the record of 1.584 set by Dean Hanover in 1938.

He is tied with Greyhound l.SSVi for the four-year old trotting record regardless of sex. Spencer Scott was the winner of the 1940 Hambletonian and Kentucky Futurity, together with a number of other stake events. He has been in pasture at Lexington since the end of last racing season. Acquisition through lease of the services of Spencer Scott gives the Hanover Shoe Farms the use of the world's champion stallions of the two gaits of harness racing. The Farms only recently leased Billy Direct 1.55.

November 24. Third-period goals by Cliff Roach and Lude Check provided Sydney Millionaires' margin of victory tonight as they defeated North Sydney Victorias 5-3 to climb to within two games of the Cape Breton Hockey League's leading Glace Bay Miners. The win served also to break a tie between Millionaires and Vies for the second and last spot in the circuit.

Millionaires got the jump on the Northsiders early, and Bill McGregor and Ray Powell found the net in the first session as Vies went scoreless. But North Sydney tied things up in the middle period C.

With Jimmy McCormick filing an entry for a newly-formed outfit, a group of students also applied for a franchise which will be commercially sponsored. These two entries will make up the section which will include Montreal Oilers, Montreal Pats and Westmount Y.M.C.A. The league plans to open its senior race on Saturday, December 6 at the Sir Arthur Currie Memorial gymnasium. In addition to the Saturday night doubleheaders, at the Pine avenue court the league is endeavoring to secure additional gymnasia for mid-week contests.

Lenny Hutton, business manager of the Oilers' five, made a suggestion that a 12-game schedule for each team be drawn up in lieu of the eight-game schedule which had been proposed and this will be done if accommodation on outside courts can be secured. The league again will stage its three-team playoff in the spring at the conclusion of the regular schedule.
