Last week Hary's Deutsche mark was not only broken but absolutely devalued at the A.A.U. championship in Sacramento, Calif.

Whatever the exchange does, it faces its next battle next month, when the SEC opens long-awaited hearings on permanent changes in commission...
...with the polished Canadiens. St. Louis twice took Montreal into sudden-death overtime. All four games were decided by one goal. In the deciding game, Montreal had to battle back from a 2-1 deficit, and it took a goal by J. C. Tremblay with 8 min. 20 sec. left to give the Canadiens a 3-2 victory...
