For lomoureux; Reds
Win in Last Canto

Dealt defeats In five Of their last
six games, the Washington Lions are
expected to suffer another blow
shortly when Les Canadiens Of the
National Hockey League pluck De-
fenseman Leo Lamoureux from the
local outfit.
Gray-haired Frank Patrick, man
ager of the Montreal team, which
has q working agreement with the
Lions, will send Tony Graboski,. re-
portedly a colorful defenseman. to
replace Lamoureux. Patrick, here
for confab with Manager Lee Per-
rim Of the Lions, futilely attempted
to purchase Center Polly Drouin,
owned outright by Washington.
Little Playo1 Hope Left.
Washington's prospects Of earn
ing berth In the American League
playoffs rapidly are being dimmed
but not extinguished. The Lions
currently are fourth In the Eastern
division, two points removed from
a third-place tie, and only three
teams from each division wedge
their way into the title playoff.
The Providence Reds in general
and Goalie Mike Karakas in par
ticular continued to exercise their
hex on the Lions last night at Uline
Arena, snatching a 80 decision be-
fore 1000 customers. Drouin scored
both Washington goals, succeeding
In tying the score early in the third
period, but Windy Steele's goal mid

gin Of victory for the Reds.

Drouin scored for the Lions with
only IS seconds remaining. After

again scored at 1:13 Of the third
canto, but Steel's goal erased Polly's
bid for heroic role.
The game was Washington's last
home engagement until January %.
