ANDY BLAIR IS THE OUTSTANDING HOCKEY RECRUIT Toronto Centre Has More Than Lived Up to Advance Notices New York, Mar. 6.--As the Na- tional Hockey League teams com- mence the final drive for a play-off berth and the fans show intense in- terest regarding the result of each match, a casual glance over the line up and summaries of the games re- veal that few---very few--of the youngsters who graduated from the minors and started pre-season training with the major league teams last fall, have survived the gruelling campaign. Most of them have been shipped back to the min- ors for further seasoning, but the few who have made the grade stand out as players of the first rank. Four young stars from the min- ors shine particularly bright this year and there is much dispute as to which of the four is the bright- est find of the year. These play- ers are Andy Blair, star centre of 'the Toronto Maple Leafs; Ralph "Cooney" Weiland, brilliant util- ity forward of the Boston Bruins; Vic Ripley, clever young centre with the Chicago Black Hawks, and Herbie Lewis, elusive centre play- er of the Detroit Cougars. Never before in the history of the N.H.L., have so many fine cen- tre players been culled out from the lesser leagues in one season for not only does this position require unusual ability as a stick handler, sure ghot and fast skater, but it re- quires the pivot to have that rare ability for making plays for his wings and above all things, in the words of Lester Patriek, manager of the New York Rangers, "a good centre must have hockey brains." Andy Blair lives up to these re- quirements just a little more than the rest of the quartette in the op- infon of Lester. He rates Blair on top because of his heady work, even though he is but twenty years of age and fresh from the Univer- sity of Manitoba. Vic Ripley, how- ever, runs close to Blair for the position of leading rookie, Patrick thinks, because the lightweight Chicago blond has starred with a last place club. Tommy Gorman, manager of the New York Americans, and Odie Cleghorn, coach of the Pittsburg Pirat's, are emphatic in their de- clarations that Ripley is the best find of the year, though the above critics all admit that Blair's play so far has been brilliant and that in reality there is little to choose between any of the four rookies mentioned. HOW MUCH? While motoring in this country an American tourist stopped at a garage' to have a small defect in his accumu- lator remedied. "Say," he inquired, when the job was done, "what's the charge for this battery?" "One-and-a-half volts, sir!" The American looked puzzled. "Yes," he said at length, "but how does that work out in American money?" EASIER An elderly woman was taken to see a football match in which her son was playing. After watching for a few moments she inquired: -- "What is the--er--object of gamer" "Why," said her guide, "the object of this game is to put the ball in that net." "Well," said the woman, with one of those rare flashes of genius, would be much simpler if they would get out of each other's way. Uneducated Mrs, Dooley was not an educated woman, but she tried hard to pass as one ever since she came into money. "Will you sign your name here, Mrs. Dooley?" asked the solicitor, who was drawing up ap agreement for her. "You sign it yourself," said the old woman, "and I'll make a mark. Since my eyes gave out I'm not able to write 2 word." "How do you spell it?" asked the Joga) light. "With or without an this "Spell it Whicheyer way you like, oung man," said Mrs. Dooley.

Their exploit of kidnapping and robbing a police- man and his companion was so brazen he suspected they might be Soubocted with crimes in those ci- es. Last night he had heard nothing from Toronto, Windsor or Detroit, but he received an ominous mess- age from the chief of police at Montreal. The descriptions, said the Montreal official, tallied in sev- eral particulars with those of the two men who held up the office force of the Charcoal Supply com- pany, in the west end of Montreal, a week ago. Earl Durham a clerk, was shot and killed, and C. Costar, a customer, narrowly escaped death when a bullet aimed at him struck hig watch, worn in his upper vest pocket.
