THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, MAY, 26, 1937. OF SEAHAWKS TOF. PATRICK Holder of Seattle Fran-| chise, Phil Lycette, Willing to Sell ‘ SEATTLE, May 26.—Frank Pat- rick, dean of the West's hockey men, is interested in buying the Seattle| franchise, and Phil Lycette, who' owns the Seshawks, is interested in selling. The former Vancouver, B. C. own- er spent a couple of days here dis- cussing the deal with the head of the Seattle team, President Lycette admitted He said: “Frank Patrick was in Seattle talking hockey. I told him I was willing” to dispose of the hockey franchise to anybody who made a reasonanle offer. Patrick seemed mildly interested in the Seattle] club, and also discussed the possi- bility of hockey in Tacoma.” Likes West Best It is known that Patrick is anx- ious to return to the West, after spending several years on the East Coast. One of the outsianding fi- gures in hockey for a quarter ce tury, he won many championships as owner and manager of the Van- couver, B. C. club before accepting an offer in the National League. | Frank’s brother, Lester, is man- ager and part owner of the most valuable hockey franchise in the world—the New York Rangers. An- other brother, Guy, is pilot of the Vancouver Lions. Lycette made a sensational suc- cess during his first year in hockey, his Seahawks winning the cham- pionship when Hugh Caldwell had turned over the club to his former law partner. Last Year Bad Last year the leam did a foldup and it is no secret that the club lost money. Lycette is anxious to retain his interests in the skating concessions, but frankly admits he will sell the hockey. team to Pat- rick, if he is given a fair price. Hockey has been booming in the East and Middle West in recent years. Seattle is the first American city to adopt professional hockey and the game has been a feature of the winter sports progoram except for a brief period when the league didn't operate. - e OFFSPRING TO WIN THE BLUE GRASS CLASSIC o - Wi wou wE 1920 DERBY /N SLOW TIME A e———— PREAKNES S ;—By Pap - THE SECOND WHEN MAN O WAR| SR T PASSED IT UP TO 70 WIN THE PONT FOR THE o KENTE By R o Rights Ressrved by The Asociaied e SR it s run in a sea mud.

REDS HITTING IT ROUGH ON | IND. HIGHWAY Statistics Show Russia Has Got Off to Bad Start So Far in 1937 MOSCOW, May 26-Russia, by tits own statistics, got away to an ‘nxtrcmely bad industrial start in 1937. The output is far below the plan in every key branch except tractor production. The crisis in the five-year-auto- mobile industry is typical. The great Molotoff factory at Gorky, built by American engin- eers like Ford's Deerborn factory was supposed to turn out 85 pleas- ure cars daily in 1936, But it daily output only averaged 20 to 30 On January 1, withou$ any an- |nouncement, the plan was cut to 48 cars deily—but the production con- tinues at around 30. Russia has virtually ceased im- | porting cars and depends upon four }main plants. Failure of auxiiiary production is generally blamed for the big four’s slowdown. But there are many other ver- sions. Government newspapers at- tribute it to poor administrative organization; the government, itself blames “Trotskyist wrecking activi- ties”; foreign observers see shaken morale of factory heads followinz the recent wrecking-conspiracy trial and also an overtaxing of expensive industrial machinery under the im- petus of the 1936 “speed-up” cam- paign. The 1937 plan calls for comple- tion of 200,000 cars and trucks. But there are those who believe the soviets may shortly call on the United States again to each them industrial organization and plant management. e | * SR l‘*’? | HOSPITAL NOTES |/ A. W.
