Canadiens Are In; II, $50 Fans Admit It Bob
Bob Tales
Red Wings Lead
Only in Stitches
BY BOB MURPHY
Sports Editor

There is some old adage about a
stitch in time saving nine. Maybe
the guy who coined that was
thinking about our Red Wings
when they play Montreals cham
pion Canadiens.
Ii was the same old story last
evening at Olympia. Unlike the
New York Rangers who arrived so
late last Thursday night the game
wasn't started until HIS, the
Canadiens spoiled everything by
showing up bright and early.
They moved in without one OF
their stars, Toe Blake. who was
grounded for swinging the big
stick Saturday night in Montreal.
but his mates were still good
enough TO spot q Wings two
goals in the first period and go
on to win. 6-3.
But getting back 10 the stitches.
The Wings led in this department.
In fact, DR.. G. l.. Tomsu broke all
union regulations with an over
time job of hemStitching that
found him putting eight over the
left eye of Earl Seibert, two in
the lip of Bill QuackenbuSh and
four on the forehead of Buddy
.O'Connor, Canadien center.

FARES TO REVERT
TO OLD RATE SOON

Although no official notification
had been received late yesterday
at the general offices of the At
lant'c Coast Line Railroad COM
pany here, according to unofficial
information received by the State
Utilities commission, in Raleigh,
July Is has been set tentatively
as the date on VIII oh North Caro-
lima railroads passenger fares
would revert to the old 1.65 cent a
mile rate.
H. M. Nicholson, of the Com
mission, said he had been advised
of this action by telephone, but
had not been notified off, cially. He
said that the commission had TAX
en- no action on the matter yet,
but I suppose the rate will be-
come effective at that time
The rate was upped to % cents
per mile last August under de-
cision rendered by the Ice. The
new rate reduction will be effec-
tive only in intra state travel on
coaches, and there will be nc re-
duction in interstate passenger
trave, or in pullman fares.
Similar reductions have been or
dered in the states of Kentucky,
Tennessee and Alabama as a re-
suit of a mandate issued by the
Supreme court on June II, abolish
ing the I.C.C. order raising the
intra-state rates from 165 to 20
cents mile.
In these states. July Is has been
tentatively set as the date on which
the new fares will become effec-
tive, and U. S. District Court Judge
Shackelford Miller in Louisville
said an order putting the lowered
rate into operation on July Is would
be issued as soon as a mandate
was received from the Supreme
court
