like cheering today are Abel and
Carl Liscomhe, the victims of two
overenthusiastic Cleveland defense
men who had not been told the
game was not being played for
keeps.
Abel ran into chunky Dick
Adolph of Cleveland in the first
period and suffered a slight chest
injury which put him out for the
balance of the game. Shortly
after his departure Liscombe
collided with the knee of big
blond Harry Dick and went out
with a charley horse which will
keep him on the rubbing table
for days.
Dick is the newcomer 10 pro
hockey who plays the exhibition
games with the old playoff spirit.
He almost lifted Cecil Dillon. the
former Red Wing. out Of the
Windsor Arena in an exhibition
game with Pittsburgh last week.
His gentle attentions last night
were so resented by the Wings
that after Stewart and McCraig
HAD taken picks at him, he was
put out of action for a time by
Jimmy Orlando The Detroit de-
fenseman crashed into Big Dick
along the boards in the third
period. Orlando dropped-but got
up. Dick had to leave the ice
Detroit. incidentally. has a iinan-
cial interest in Dick. since he was
signed by the Barons from the
! Guelph t 0nt. - BiftmoTgS, The
junior O. II. A. team the Wings
backed last year Cleveland must
pay Detroit $3.50 for the rights
to the defenseman under a pro
league agreement. Had National
League club signed Dick the
Wings would have received $500.
ROCKIES ON WAY
With the game evidently a
WalkoVer for the Wings, interest
conferred in the newcomers. all OF
whom lived up 10 their training
camp promise. Wilbert Dutch
Hitler, the left wing purchased
from. the Rangers. was really
looming on the line with sgd
Howe and Mud Bruneteau. Nc
Craig. paired on the defense with
Stewart, proved a competent rear
guard man with a good body
check and remarkable puck-carPy-
Y ing speed. Holota the center
from Guelph; Jameson. the Mo-
hawk Indian right wing from the
Holzbaugh amateur club and
Jimmy Conacher, the red-head left
wing from Oshawa looked very
smart, especially on their scoring
play.
I Adams thinks enough of the
rockies that he is hustling them
on their way TO Detroit farm clubs
and only Conacher may be here
for the Pittsburgh game Wednes-
day.
Jameson Is TO leave by 1omor-
row for Indianapolis; Holota and
Conacher will go 10 Omaha with
two other former amateurs. Tony
Licari. right wing from Guelph
and Hugh Miller. Winnipeg de-
I fenSeman.
