Editpr 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 wauld be happy. YOU Can he very proud Of them ffity were all very courteous, polite, went to bed `.. when their coach told them and' Were no trouble to get up in the morning." < .. The only coma plaint Mrs. Boyle had was that she couldn't get the boys to eat in.iich breakfast. (I{nbWing these three fellows, that sounds rather hard to believe) .
