Predicts For G oa 1i

NW YORK Nov 30-311: Ross. the old hockey master of Boszon Bruins. fairly bubbled ivlth joy to- diziy at the prospect of Frankie Brimsek being the best goalie in the National l-Iockry League and the possibility of tucking a flock of money for Art l"o~'s with an un- breakable steel 11-: y stick.

“I've been watchuig Brimsek and he's sot everything." said Ross of the boy who starts in the Boston goal against. Canadiens tomorrow night in place of the veteran Tiny Iliomipson who Bruins sold to De- troit. “He'll be the best goalie 1n the business."

Brimsek, coming up from Provi-

dence in the Int-Am League, is a native 01f Eveleth, Minn, a fact which added to Ross‘ pleasure be- cause of his belief that goal tend- illiz is a "natural" spot for Ameri- can boys: more, natural than for Canadians.

“Americans inherit baieeboll in- stinct and glow up with the game Just as Canadians grow 11p ivitli hockey," Ross continued as he took time out from a meeting of the N. H. L. rules committee. "But wnere the Canadians become skaiters. the Americans develop their arms and batting ef.'es—-thc foundations of goal tending,"

And about the new stick. Ross said he was looking intc the man. ufactuie of a tubular steel stick, unbreakable and with a, replace. able ivoocien blade. He said he would have such sticks available for a trial bv the tail-end of the cuircnt season.

The shaft would be the same sluége as {he 1'" $1‘ 2T1) r la blade of wood.

Alleged Racket l/Vlien Wrestler Balked Fixing

(Canadian Press) i

DUBLIN, Dec. l-—Dublin sports fans. who for Years have been ﬂocking r0 the professional wreat- ling wars, are still talking about Sim-sting allegations of “faked bouts. made by William N. Willis. Australian promoter, in his ﬁction for damages against The Irish

Press.

The action was instituted in High Court after the newspaper had published a retraction and apology for printing an interview given by Willis in which he brand- ed so-called "all-in" wrestling as a Pracket" and alleged mill-ts of bcuts were “fixed".

Following publication of the in- tervieu’. Paddy Casey and Padro Peltonen, “TQSUOIS who performed on a card staged in Dublin by Willis. took action against the neurone-per. They denied having come to a. pie-arranged agreement and maintained the article inifer- red their conduct had been dis- honorable and uniploiassional. The action was settled out of court after the interview had been un- reservediiy withdrawn.

Willis. the promoter, charging the‘ retimctlon reﬂected his own credibility and honor. brought act- ion for libel against The Irish Press. In count he reiterated his allegation that “all-in" wrestling as conducted in Ireland was a. “racket” and that in common with other bouts of its kind, the Casey- Peltonen match was XJTB-BIIBJIQBG.

After a hearing lasting three days, the Jlzry brought 1n a ver- diot icr the newspaper with costs.

Promoter’: Evidence

Under cross-examination Willis declared he had promoted more

than 200 wrestling matches in the country and that the out-come of most of them had been decided be- fore the contestants had entered the rink.

Fifteen minutes before start, Willis said he had entered ' Pdlitonenik dressing rcoln to tell him Casey must win. It was part of a plan for a championship "build- up" for Casey.

ed after ivhich Casey was told:- "Peltcnen will not lie down to Y0“- but he has agreed theeontest is to end in the third fal-l. He must get the first fall and he has alzreed he will reluctantly give you the second fail. He is to Win in the third fail, but when you get him clown in the second fall. hold hiin until he gives in." It had been necessary to ‘double-crow’ Pelton- en when he declined to carry Oil- instructions. Willis said.

In reply to a question by sci for defendants. Willis - "Ninety per cent of the people who came to see the bcuts knew that the whole thing wasan exhibition of very excellent skill. ‘They did not take it. seriously and lmew they were nct real contests."

Bob Norman. a ‘professional wrestler known as “Tutor”. besti- fied he had heard Willis describe how lie had arranged the contest in question and had “double-cross- ed“ Peltciien.

“Were vru silrprised to hear that?" he was asked.

“I would be surprised at nothing in this racket." he rfpiieci. “But I don't biiame the promoters alone. I'm in this racket myself up to. the nec ." :
