BOSTON hockey
Team IS Strong
Bruin Combination One Of
Strongest IN National League

Boston. Nov. s dRIThe Boston
Bruins have the best looking hockey
squad in the National league, In the
opinion of Manager Art Ross, who
has started his fifth year in charge
of the team. Dave Gill of Ottawa is
the only manager in the league who
has been located In the same city
and with the same club for longer
period than Ross.
The Bruins have a nucleus of
eight veterans from last years team
which won the Prince OF Wales cup
and the American division cham
pionship. only to lose out in its
fight with the New York Rangers to
enter the play for the Stanley cup
and the worlds title.
The Ross teams defense, with
Eddie\ Shore, Captain Fred Hitch
man and Goalie Hal Winkler, looms
about the strongest in the league.
Winkler had more shutouts than
any other netman in the circuit last
season and Ross, to protect the team
more fully in the cage. purchased
Cecil Thompson OF Minneapolis, the
best goalie in the American associa-
ton last season. to act as Winkler's
understudy.
The teams defense spares, Dit
Clapper and Lloyd Klein appear top
grade. Clapper, a 2O-year-old youth.
is a veteran at the ring game and
can play forward Or defense equally
we'll.
The Bruins got by last year with
minimum of scoring, probably be-
cause the teams best scorers were
playing in hard luck most OF the
season. Ross and his assistant, W
Denneney. intend to drive the
Bruins hard this season to improve
the puck-caging. Both. however
have agreed to sacrifice the Bruins
offense if it threatens to weaken the
teams defensive strength.
Though Ross has but a few more
DAYS to develop scoring punch
before the Bruins open the season
with Pittsburgh. he has a wide Sc
lection of II forwards to build MS
first line. The team has been prac'
ticing on a Providence rink because
the Bruins new home. the Boston
Madison Square Garden. has MOI
been completed. During most OF inc
sessions Ross seemed to favor his
last years forward line, Percy Gal
braith, left wing; Frank Frederick
son, center, and Harry Oliver. righ'
wing.
These reliables were expected te
start the season as the regular for'
wards, but Ross. who was greatls
impressed by his new material
would not predict just how long th''
trio would retain their first strini
classification.
The combination Of Erik Pett'n
ger, Norman Gainor and "Reo
Green worked we'll and the spares

! center; Ed Rodden. Fred Gordo'
and Martin Lauder. have beci
flashing so impressi,ely that Ros
! has been pretty much up in the ali
about their status on the team.

GROWING COLDER
Police Bamed by Staying Of
Noted Gambler

New York. Nov, 8, (CP)-CIue.
to the mysterious Staying of Arnold
Rothstein. millionaire gambler, grew
cold today as police continued their
fruitless search for the little group
OF men who sat drinking in a Park
Central Hotel room the night of the
shooting.
The famed Broadway plunger was
buried with quiet, simple rites yes
terday. A small group of friends,
several Of them known as lesser
satellites in New York night life,
stood beside the grave as Roth
STEMS $4,000 bronze casket was
lowered. While a Rabbi said the
last rites, the gamblers widow
collapsed.
George McManus, friend and
gambling colleague of Rothstein, is
the principal object of the police
search for witnesses to the Staying.
McManus, detectives believed, was
one of the group with whom Roth
stein was supposed to have been
talking and drinking just before he
staggered down the service stairway
OF the hotel. MORALLY wounded, to
ask for taxi.
Hope for Names
Although police believe McManus'
part in the scene was only that OF
Mortified spectator. they hope to get
from him the names of others in the
room. The latter, in the opinion OF
detectives, are persons who held I
0. Us which Rothstein refused ia
pay. The gambler, several weeks
ago, was taken" for nearly a quar-.
ter of a million dollars in a stud
poker game which he charged wa.
crooked.
Examination of finger prints OF
the whiskey glasses found in tho
room of the motel so far have failed
to yield tangible clues. And al
though the shooting is perhaps tht
most discussed happenings of thu
year among habitues of Broadway

killer. With Investigators bafflcd
