Hockey at Seattle


Seattle, Wash, Mar. 20-Although
Seattle failed to win Saturday in the
first game of the ice hockey world g
series here from the Montreal Cana
diens no one connected with the local
club appears worried today with the
second game of the series scheduled
for tonight.
AS the result of their eight to four
victory Saturday, the Canadiens are or
the long end of the betting for to-
night S game. The fact that the east
ern style of game with off-side play
and rover eliminated, win be staged
this evening, seems to give the visit
ors the edge. The locals, however, have
had some experience at the six-man
games and have been doing nothing
but attending secret conferences and
figuring out plays since Saturday.
"It will be different team that
faces the Canaaiens tonight, said
Pete Muldoon, skipper of the Seattle
outfit today.

in the local lineup was at defense. Har-

EXPERT COMMENTS ON
COMING BALL SEASON
Says Chicago Is Already
Picked As Winner--Ma-
terial Not Normal
By R. c. Hamilton

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, Mar. 20.-With the axes
beginning to swing in training camps
throughout the country, fans are today
able to get tiny glimpse of what NAV
be expected when the National and
American leagues plunge into their an
nual flag chases.
There is little change from the pre-
season dope that emanated from the
stove league. The National league has
its strong teams, the American has its.
A matter of careful conditioning, free
dom from injuries when the season
starts and the natural things that go
to make up baseball season will set
tie the issue, as always.
The American league, Boston, Chi
Icago, Detroit and New York stand out
as the best balanced teams. Many
are favoring Chicago to win a pehnant
this year. They bank on the eomebacks
of the Comiskey hurling corps, at one
time as good as they grew. jim Scott
is said to be showing better than he
it is persistently declared, is having
success in his efforts to iron the kinks
out of his left flipper.
1t has been positively stated there
will be no experimenting with Chica-

ans, tried and true, will be found fill

There apparently are two holes, good
sized ones, on that club-one at first

may be able to do something.
