NOTICE Tp CR£DiTQRS
Ili the matter of the bankruptcy of William
Ralph Batten (a die-hard Detroit fan) working as.
§ports editor of The Exeter Tilnes•Advocate n
the row of Exeter, County of Huron.
Notice is hereby given that William Ralph
Batten. (sometimes referred to as "Cotton") made®
an assignment on the 16th day of April, 1961, at
9:25 ,p.m. (at the same moment Clarence Campbell
presented the Stanley Cup to Eddie I.itzenbutger
of the Chicago Black Hawks).
The first meeting of creditors will take
place in his office on Friday, the 21st day of April
at 5:00 p.m. (that's pay day). His creditors will be
paid off in the following order:
1, To those who gave hint odds. (And I
t was sucking them in.)
2.
thought I Even moneywagers. (That's what those
silly q'cliSc 'r&* experts (??) were giving.)
3. To those receiving the odds from Bat-
'ten, (These are the hard ones to face.)
OH WELL, iT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE!
We received :a little consolation after losing
our shirts (that's right O'Brien, even the ones I
wear as pyjamas), by contacting Jack Adams, man-
ager of the Wings, and getting a job with him.
He has allowed us 'to visit the Olympia and pick
up all the trash that was thrown on the ice and
sell it.
However, we
don't hardlydlr know
what mar-
ket
r-
ket there will be for: one octopus, one hampster,
six broken ink bottles (ink not included), three felt
hats, 12 overshoes, 122 beer cans, 39,652 programs,
17 pounds of egg shells (the refs beat me to the
ingredients), 1,899 crushed paper cups, Terry Saw-
chuk's broken goalie pad strap, Warren Godfrey's
helmet, 134 buck shot pellets, two over -used goal
judges' lights (that last game was murder),
This is just a partial list of the useful (??)
things the fans took to the games with them and
just as soon as I have the other stuff sorted out
I'll let you know what else you can pick up cheap
at "Cotton's Cut-rate Counter". (No dealers, please.)
Actually, we enjoyed the Stanley Cup play-
- offs immensely this year, mainly because our
under -rated Red Wings made it right to the finals,
and, even though it may sound like a tongue-in-
cheek statement, because the Chicago Black Hawks
took all the honors.
We think this will be a big boost for NHL
hockey and when Murray Westgate gives us his
first salute to herald the opening game next year,
more and more fans should be on the sidelines or
in front of their TV watching the action.
The all-American final this year should stir
considerable interest south of the border and will
also cause a few changes up this way too. Already,
the Montreal Canadiens have announced they will
look for new blood to replace some of the old worn-
out type on their club. When you consider that
they have only won the Stanley Cup five times in
' the.Iast five years and have topped the league an
equal number vof times, you have to realize that
the other clubs will certainly be on the look for
better players too.
r The upset recorded by the Wings and the
Hanks 'should give New York and Boston team
officials a ray of hope, too, because they finished
only a few games behind these third and fourth
place teams, So, we look for a real close battle
next year with at least four teams making a strong
bid for the top spot. (Before Detroit wins it all.)
It certainly wouldbe difficult to pick out
'any single: star on either the Detroit or Chicago
, &quads, as it appeared that they all were stars.
• However, Glenn Hall wouldhave to be our choice
for the' Windy City crew, while incomparable (Jim
Russell likes that word) Gordie Howe was the best
we saw for the Red Wings. However, fellows like
Hull, Pilote, Mikita, Evans and Hay carried a lot
of weight for Chicago, while Stasiuk, Delveccio,
Ullman, Godfrey and the speedy third line did a
yeoman's task for the Motor City crew.
Our choice as the most colorful player in
the series (unless your stomach turns at the sight
of blood) is Howie Young. Although the rookie
made a few costly mistakes, he certainly kept the
fans humming and should be heard from clime
next season.
Now to finish off our Stanley Cup resume
with a word to our French fans. (A tip I picked up
` in the final game summary.) Merci beaucoup mes
auris en province du Quebec. (I don't know what
that means, but it's supposed to say "better luck
'next season".)
BATT'N AROUND—We wish to send along
our thanks to the members of the Corporals' Club
' at RCAF Station Centralia for the enjoyable eve-
ning' we spent with them, Friday. Gord "Curly"
Ebel, trainer and sub -goalie for the Exeter Mo-
hawks, was our special host and by the end of
the evening had introduced us to most of the
Members of the club. We should also, thank Guy
Lebel for the invitation on behalf of the members
of the club. (A special note to Lyall Ridell—I still
think an emcee with your talents should be 'on
TV) , Eric Carscadden dropped in with a let-.
ter from Mrs, Marion Boyle, Georgetown, a -niece
of Matt Telfer, a former bank manager here, Mrs.
Boyle hosted three of the Exeter bantams in her
home during the Faster tournament and her let-
ter substantiates the statements we made about
their conduct in 1ast week's column, We reprint
part of the letter sent by Mrs, Boyles "My hus-
band and I both said if our boys ever play hockey
and have to spend time in someone else's home;
if they are half as good as your boys (Jim Cars•
Ladder), George Armstrong and Neil Hamilton) we
