fragments of the erutch belong
ing to Summerlin who has only
one leg, according to Chief Shir-

a car" He was taken to the hos
pital where attending physicians
said his right hand was badly
broken and he had cuts about
the face and head.

Clyde Taylor, shipyard, was al
legedly stolen from in front of
Brooks Place on Highway So by

Lions Help 0|ympics
In Quest for Crown

Thanks to battered Washington
club that appears to have fallen
apart, the Boston Olympics today
appeared sure-thing bet to cop
the U, S. Amateur Hockey Associa-
tion championship. The Bostonians,
loaded with talent on furlough from
the major leagues, knocked off the
locals for the sixth straight time last
night on Uline ice to pile up IL
points and commanding lead in
tn eseries. Score was 8 to 2.
The groggy Lions. their roar re-
duced to a feeble meow, take on the
tough Blades in Baltimore tonight
and return to the local pond Friday
for match with the New York
Rovers.
Indications are that Dick Bittner
will replace Emile Francis in the
nets against Baltimore tonight. The
tiny, 18-year-old Francis made a
good stand against the Beanies last
night, but was not equal to the oc-
caSion, largely because of the sloppy
defense play of his mates.
Washington's only semblance of a
rally came in the second stanza when
Harvey McClelland and Jimmy Will
son fired successive goals to register
the Lions only counters. Otherwise
it was walkover for the Beanies.

Haegg, Swedish mile star who has
lost his first two 1945 races In the

today to complete training for the
Bankers Mile, feature event of the
Chicago Relays Saturday night.
Haegg flew from New York, ac-

in the Chicago stadium carnival.
Haegg planned to get in an out
door workout today and another
tomorrow. Friday night the running
track will be ready in the stadium,
and he has scheduled an indoor
workout
The Saturday race may answer
the question: what is wrong with
Haegg?" He finished last in his first
1945 American start in New York a
week ago Saturday, and in fifth
place last Saturday.
Some have criticized his outdoor
training, asserting he should limit
his conditioning to the indoor board
ovals to familiarize himself with the
sharper, banked curves Others
blame his losses to lack of condition
caused by 22-day trans Atlantic
crossing. He landed but so hours
before his first race.
