The hectic scramble for Hershey
Cup Series honors, symbolic Of
leadership in the first third of the
Eastern Amateur Hockey League
championship chase, today had mar
rowed to the Washington Eagles and
New York Rovers, with the cup
probably hinging on their collision
Monday at Madison Square Garden
in the final game of the series.
Locked in a first-place tie with
the Rovers for the league lead and
trailing by two points in the Hershey
Series. the Eagles tonight will tangle
with the Jersey Skeeters at River
Vale, N. j. A Washington victory
would send the Eagles into a tie
with the Rovers in the Hershey
affair, and, despite the outcome Of
the Rovers- Montreal Royals game
tomorrow, the first third title would
hinge on Mondays engagement.
Dewey Boosts Goal Total.
Walloped by the Montreal Royals,
8-4, before 2,710 fans last night at
Riverside Stadium, the Eagles have
gained a sudden respect for the
lowly Skeeters, who held the same
club to a 30 margin. The Skeeters'
recent improvement, coupled with
what Coach Redvers Mackenzie
termed a feeble display of hockey by
the Eagles last night, attaches sig
nificance to tonight's til.
The Eagles, though, gathered some
solace from being routed by the
Royals, for Hal Dewey, their leading
scorer and second high in the East
ern League, improved his position
with three goals. Dewey scored
twice in the second period and
again in the third after Mike Ger
mann had tailed Washington's first
goal in the waning seconds of the
initial period.
The Royals. prohibitive favorites
to capture the Canadian crown this
season, fired three goals, two within
six seconds. past Goalie Gordon Lee
in the opening period and never re-
linquished the lead. Dewey re-
duced the Royals margin to 80
early in the second period, but the
Montreal outfit spurted to run the
score 60 and coast to triumph.
Rovers Fail to Gain.
Despite the loss, Washington lost
no ground in the Hershey Cup
battle, for the crippled New York
team was dropping 4-3 decision to
the Atlantic City Sea Gulls at At
