The 5'. 11" leftwinger of the world champion Montreal Canadiens proved himself to the public in the '57-'58 hockey season as he :com- piled: a total of -84 points to earn the right to an extra grand bonus by becoming the National Hockey League's most prolific scorer. Dickie did it the hard way too, -awl still left such great stars AS Gordie Howe, the pair of Richards,. Eeleveau, GeOffrion and the rest of them as pas- sengers in is way to fame. The Canadien star, who made up his 84 points on 36 goals and 48_ assists, played through the latter part of the schedule with his left wrist in a cast. Playing under a handicap such as this is nothing new to this fellow as he's had ..More ups and downs in life than an elevator in the Empire State Building. Moore is the third member of the great Mont- real regime we've met over a period of the fest year And to say the least. Wte- feel he's about 'the most modest. Maurice Richard and big Jean Marc Beliveau have crossed our path before, but there seems -to be a gleaming personality about this leftwinger that one can't miss when talking to him. What is it like to be a scoring champion among. champions? Well, in short, Dickie .told us that he lost about a month's sleep when the slippery Andy Bathgate of New York was right on his tail for so long. Andy was only three points back of Moore one night when Les Canadiens were -playing: at home and the Broadway Blueshirts were in Toronto for a night game. Moore said he looked up at the score in the Forum at the end of the third period and saw that the Rangers had won 7-2. He immediately thought his scoring leadership just .flew out the window but it didn't as Bathgate only mustered two points. ."I've had a great season," said Moore. "One that all players look forward to in their professional days. I collected well on my bonuses this year and couldn't ask for anything more except for another season like it. Moore felt that the players' association is one of the best things to happen in hockey. "The associa- tion has definitely helped the player -executive rela- tions. It is now accepted by 10(r'n of the players playing in the N.H.L. although it had some trouble going through at first. I think it's a good thing as the players split $1,500 more this season than usual due to the new setup." Dickie :has a trucking business going for him in Montreal. He just- started the new project and enjoyed the life of a car salesman before this new engagement. He played two years for the junior Montreal Royals, starting at the age of 16 and moved into the junior Canadien hockey club. From there he got his big break in getting on a. line with the famed "Rocket" and the "Pocket Rocket" where he made good. WHAT PRICE GLORY? , If you think you've had tough luck breaking into your own profession, just take 'a gander at the. Dickie Moore sidelights. This may be starting a little before he became a hockey wheel but it all boils down to his advancement along the road to fame. Dickie, when just a young kid from Montreal, was hit by a car. About the same time, a dog took a fancy to some of the food he was eating and at- tempted to steal it right out of his mouth. Moore almost lost his lower lip. Another time when he was still at a young age, a wise guy knocked one of his hockey gloves on the floor and when he went to pick it up someone lifted the feet from under him and. Dickie landed squarely on his chin and almost bit his tongue in two, However, these were only minor happenings to the young athlete because when he really got into the hockey swing, be found himself with a broken collar bone. Another time he found himself with a dislocated shoulder when with the Royals. He had a torn cartilage in his knee removed. After the operation of this last menace, a cyst form- ed back on the knee so more surgery was necessary. Showing plenty of determination, Dickie fought his Nvay back up the ladder until today he reigns as the '57-58 N,H.L. scoring champio.n. The odd thing about it, he won the title with his left wrist in a cast.! . Some luck did swing Moore's way, howeyer, one night when he was with the junior Royals of Montreal, Several hockey experts .sat back and at- tempted to pick the likely pro prospects from the club. Frank Selke pointed out just two men on the team—Dollard St. Laurent and Moore, Today, they are both with the Canadiens and are idols of thou- sands of fans throughout the country.

Iry Ford, who replaced Russell in the sixth, chalked up seven strikeuuts in the three innings he pitched, The Lumber Kings started their big three -run fourth inning rally when Doug O'Brien reached first on an error, Doug "Red" Theander hit into a fielder's choice with the Mohawk infield coming up with a play from Sabourin to Doll MeKeller to get O'Brien at second. After Jim Russell breezed three strikes past Don O'Brien al the plate, thirdbaseman Bill Yunghlut took a base. on balls to put two men in base. A double steal moved the runners into scoring position and a looping single just over second base by Rawlings was all that the in- vaders needed to wrap up their second win in the early Huron - Perth schedule, Rawlings scored the third run, Doug O'Brien was the only other Zurich player to hit safely throughout the game as he con- nected for a single in the fifth inning, Zurich used three players from Hensall in the persons of Jerry Rannie, Bruce Moir and Gerald Bell.
