Lions Aiming 10 Atone
For Rout by Hershey
Hosts to .Borons Tonight
After III WolIoping

The Debated Washington Lions,
with whatever prestige they once
owned now punctured beyond i'm
mediate hope Of repair, will make
another stab at victory tonight when
they tangle with the Cleveland
Barons in an American Hockey
League game at Uline Arena at $50
o'clock
Locked in the cellar some AZ points
removed from the league-leading
Hershey Bears, who dealt them a
humiliating 12-1 walloping last night
at Hershey, the Lions played before
the slimmest crowd in the history of
Hershey hockey as Pennsylvania
motor police and OPA agents
stopped all automobiles leading to
the town and questioned all drivers.
Hershey employed the Lions as a
stepping stone to an American
League record for goals scored. The
Bears dozen goals brought their
total for the season to 2l5, one more
than the previous high set by the old
Philadelphia Ramblers in 1938-39.
Hershey now needs only a win or tie
in its remaining five games to clinch
the pennant.
Hershey scored four times in each
period, with Hack Lauzon, Peggy
O'Neil, Walt Kilrea and Joe Levan-
dowski each accounting for two goals.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Bostons Bill Cowley once again is
the leading individual scorer of the
National Hockey League. The vet
eran Bruin center regained the
leadership from Chicago's Doug
Bentley by scoring all the Bruin
goals in Boston's 81 victory over
the pace-setting Detroit Red Wings
last night.
The New York Rangers also come
into today's spotlight, for they
BANKED the Toronto Maple Leafs.
40, in the only other contest of the
evening.
The victory moved Boston to
within one point of the leading
Wings. Cowley has pulled the hat
trick on at least two other occa-
sions this season. He did it against
the Rangers on January 16 and
against the Blackhawks on Feb
ruary 2.
New York's triumph prevented To-
ronto from breaking its third-place
deadlock with Chicago. 1t was the
first time this season that the RAN
gers had administered a shutout to
one of their opponents.

OUTDOORS
With BILL ACKERMAN

Potomac channel cats are biting,
not in the manner of mid-April. but
often enough to make most anglers
happy.
In other years CAPABILITIES haven.
been greatly attracted by this fishing
because there always has been an
abundance of species they believed
sportier. This season a far greater
number will seek "Old Whiskers."
They'll learn. too. when the winter
stagnation has gone from his blood
stream. that he is quite gamester
And, after catching string, they'll
also learn the flesh compares favor
ably with that of any species, fresh
or salt.
There is not now, nor is there
likely to be, any restrictions on cat
fishing. Gasoline is not needed to
reach the area or 10 run a boat to
the grounds. A car token is all that
is needed to get to any one Of a
half dozen likely spots above Key
Bridge. A buck will rent skiff
that is needed to get to mid-channel,
the best place to dunk your bait.
Channel cats prefer deep, fast water
that carries their food to them.
Enticing them to bite on natural
food isn't near SO productive as
batting with shad entrails, or for
second choice, chicken entrails,
which easily are obtained
The average size of the catfish
now is just under pounds. although
a number exceeding 8 and 10 pounds
have been boated recently.
Several boats may be had just
above Follis', where the road runs
down under the canal. Above, for
the next few weeks at least, it will
be necessary to look around little.
Capt. Joe Fletcher. at New Cut and
Canal roads, will not have his fleet
of 40 in commission until March 90.
