CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-Eforts OF
minor baseball leagues to carry on
this season despite player shortages
and travel restrictions left an opti-
mistic impression with Jack Shee-
han, supervisor Of the Chicago Cubs
farm system after tour of the
country to survey problems facing
some of the lower-class clubs.
Sheehan found that several cir
cults had in some cases either
shifted franchises of outlying cities
or dropped them altogether to form
a more compact travel area. In
this way rail transportation was
saved.
Sheehan confidently predicts that
the three Double A loops-the
Coast League, American Associa-
ton and International League
easily will survive in the face Of
player shortages, dimouts and gas
oline limitations.
He believes the remainder of the
minor league setup in the country
will include the Southern, Eastern,
State, Piedmont, Canadian
American, Pony League and a re-
vised Wisconsin State League.

it is doubtful if action on spring

One-Mon Charge Goins
Edge in Lost Period
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

The lowly Washington Lions
pulled hard-fought hockey game
out of the fire last night, licking the
Providence Reds at Uline's Arena
before 1900 fans in a last-period
rush, 5 to 4. Sonny McManus, lately
of the New Haven club, broke a A.
to-4 deadlock with a single handed
charge down the ice from inside his
own blue line to score the decisive
goal unassisted. The victory was
like shot in the arm to the Lions,
who haven't had many such lately,
but it didn't improve their Ameri-
can Hockey League standing. They
still grace the bottom of the 7-team
league.
With many changes in their line
up, the Lions looked bad in the first
period, on the heels of a warning
from their coach that only the best
hockey they could produce would
prevent shake-up and possible
banisrment of some players. With
two minutes to go in the opening
stanza the sluggish Lions. trailed
by two goals, but Bob Oracle scored
at, 1882 to place them only one
counter behind at the intermission.
Cliff Barton tied it in knot, 3-3,
at $50 of a fast second period with
the only goal scored during that
period. Then the teams started
playing hockey. Hitherto sluggish,
the Lions came out of a jam session
with Coach. Mantha, fire in their
eyes and dynamite in their sticks
Slender Jimmie Jameson put them
in the lead at 9:52 with quick shot
from a melee near the Providence
net. Seven minutes and a lot of
fast hockey later Windy Steele tied
it up for Providence.
Then with four minutes to go
McManus, who had figured in two
Washington goals, took quick pass
from inside his own blue line after
a face off, skated all the way down
the ice, tented Goalie Mike Karakas
