League Is Expected

With the opening of the Na- tional Hockey League and the Maritime Big Four this week, in- terest in the City Hockey League is rapidly being aroused. This league. in the past, has provided many thrilling contests fcr Char- lottetown hockey fans and there is every expectation of four well- balanced teams battling this year for the championship of the League and the Dr. RC. Dougan trophy now reli by the St. Dun- stan's University team. The Saints are expected to ice a strong team again this year but the other en- trants, Summerslde, Prince of Wale! College. and the Navy are already lining up their players with the object of wpplng league honors.

With flooding well underway at the Forum. Manager C1‘. Archer hopes to be able to provide practice sessions for the par- ticipating teams next week. City League offi ials are hoptful that such early practice sessions will enable the league to get under- way early in Novtmber.

Important matters pertaining to the league will be discussed at a meeting of the League later this week.

A bombardment of cheers. whistles, horns. confetti and bal- loons was unleashed when the Indians stepped off their special train this morning.

The pent-up emotions released by a victory-happy town continu- ed all the way from Public Square to University Circle as the mot- orcade traversed the IO-mile route through a human corridor. Police were barely able to maintain an open path for the single line of automobiles in the parade. Manager Lou Boudreau. his wife. Della. and club president Bill Veeck sat on the lowered too of the lead car and received the loudest ovations along the way. Shouts of “there's Lou" was the signal for a rain of confetti. When the parade disbanded the Bou- dreaus and Veeck were knee deep in the stuff.

"Mny we pause for a moment and ask ourselves just why, when we have so many colts nominated and paid up to the third payment. par- ticularly in the two nnd three-year- old futurities that we have so few colts face the starter on race day. One of the reasons in my opinion is that a lot of our colts nominated are too young to train. If we are going to make n success of colt racing we must have earlier colts, no later than March.

Stengel Returns As Manager 0f New York Yankees

By Jack ‘ iImd

NEW YORK. Oct. 12 - (AP)- Casey Stengel today returned to the majors‘ as manager of the New York Yankees for the next two years.

Fresh from a pennant and play- off victory with Oakland of the Pacific Coast League, Sterigel flew in for a conference with Yankee officials last night that won for him one of the most coveted jobs in baseball.

No salary terms were announc- ed by president Dan Topping bin it. was understood that Casey will be paid about $25000 a year uri- der a two-year contract.

Stengel. freed by president Clar- ence (Bricki Laws of the Oakland Club to negotiate with the Yan- kees. said he had not made a de- cisiun on his coaches. George Kel- ly. who worked under_ Johnny Neun and Bucky Walters at Cin- cinnati. and Neun were believed to be in line.

“The owners have promised to back me up." said Stengel in a press conference shortly after Top- ping announced his new manager. "I'll see what I need but I plan to go slow._ You can tear a club down a lot faster than you can build it up."

The man who once was paid a year's salary for not managing the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1937 said he was not approached by the Yan- kees until Sunday night when he received a phone call from Top- ping and general manager George Weiss who were attending the World series at. Cleveland.

Neither was in lny trouble until the bout began to roll Pyie's way just after the start of the third round when a rocking right to the

circled the slipping defender and after a brief flurry along the ropes, sent in the tell-tale right to the mouth that spun Spencer to the canvas face down.

HALIFAX, Oct. 12—(CP)—Ha1l- fax St. Mary's and Dartmouth Arrows, the two new entries in the Maritime Senior Hockey League. held their first practice session: today to herald opening of the hockey season just one day after two Maritime baseball titles came to Halifax.

Hawks brought back Coach Le! Ramsay who guided the team to the League championship last. year and lost to Sydney Millionaires of the Cape Breton Senior Hockey League in the Maritime finals.

Ramsay will have back defence- man Call Bastrache and forward! Ray Leger, Paul Gagnon, Willie Agnew. Roger Jodoin and Roy (Buck) Whltlock. League's top point-getter last season, in addi- tion to a host of newcomers.

New additions include defence- men Bill Kearns and Frank Grab- owskl, both with thehow defunct Truro Bearcats last. year, and Ed- die Vtgneault.

Saint John's attempt to sign the starry all-Negro line of Manny Maclntyre, Herbie and Oslle Car- negie fell through when the line couldn't come intact. The trio will play with Sherbrooke of the Que- bec Senior League this season.

Observer! are pointing also to a stronger Cape Breton League with Sydney Millionaires possibly mak- ing another powerful bid for the Allan Cup.
