Unconfirmed reports were that Conacher, manager since December, 1947, when he suc- ceeded Johnny Gottselig, was to resign to devote full time to oil interests. His resignation was hinted a week ago but Presi- dent Bill Tobin of the Hawks at that time said the club had asked Conacher to remain as manager. Top candidates to succeed Conacher, if he resigns, were reported to be Ebbie Goodfel- | low of St. Louis Flyers and Frank (King) Clancy of Cin- cinnati Mohawks.

By BOB McALEER Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, April 15--(CP)--Profes- sional baseball and hockey have often been compared on the basis of their alleged restrictive contracts but a look at some of the existing "sport empires" might make a better comparison. Some years ago the National League Brooklyn Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals pioneered in what has since been described as "Chain Store" or "Bargain Basement" base- ball. Other clubs took up the system when the Brooklyn and St. Louis farm teams started grinding out Major Leaguers cn almost assembly line basis. Is the same system consolidated | in professional hockey? Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League are the biggest hockey operators according to Doug (Windsor Star) Vaughan. The League champions, now en= gaged in The Stanley Cup finals with New York Rangers, are the "envy of all tneir big-time rivals," says Doug. The Wings used three former Windsor stars in their semi-final series with Toronto Maple Leafs, "only three of the fine young play- outside in this climate, this early . . . that's really hustling them.
