The Lions meet Clinton at
$3.50 o'clock at Uline Arena to-
night in what may be the last
game for these particular Lions.
Facing expulsion from the
Eastern Hockey League playoffs
after losing the first two games
of a best-three- of five series to
the Comets. the team as such
also faces expulsion from its
home ice.
M. J. Uline. owner of the
arena, says there definitely will
be a hockey team here next
season, but that he and no one
else will do the operating.
The current club is owned by
four men-Jack Riley. recently
fired as general manager of the
arena; Stan Warecki, the clubs
player-coach, and two Alexan-
dria businessmen. Peyton Ellis
and Francis Macdonald. They
have been leasing the arena from
Uline and the rent has been too
high, according to Riley.
I'VE want to stay here" Riley
says, but if we can't get a de-
cent lease we'll go somewhere
else, probably down South"
Staying here is out Of the ques-
ton, according to Paul Rothgeb,
Riley's successor as the arena
general manager. 80 far as
Mr.. Riley negotiating with Mr..
Uline for hockey lease--that
will never happen!" Rothgeb
says. II don't know whether
well have the same team or not.
But I do know there will be a
hockey team at Uline Arena next
season and it will be operated
by Mr.. Uline,"
It is expected that Riley and
his associates will move south
and that most of the players will
follow. It is possible that Wash
ington will have another team in
the same league. which may give
the staunch followers Of the club
that has been here two seasons a
problem concerning which to
root for.
If the team wins tonight. 1t
will get at least a days grace.
The next game will be played
tomorrow night at Uline and if
a fifth game is needed, it will be
played in Clinton Tuesday night.
Winner Of this series will meet
the winner of a similar series
between New Haven and Johns
town for the league title won
last year by Washington. The
final series win be for best-four-
of-seven games. New Haven,
regular season champion, is the

him down at any time.
Logart staggered Ortega in

Some of the fans booed the
decision as a tribute
to the underdog's gameness
