In Toronto

When National Hockey League governors sanctioned a benefit game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and an all-star team, to aid Toronto's Irvin ("Ace") Bailey, there was a question of whether Boston's Eddie Shore would be allowed to play. One of Shore's characteristically furious charges had caused the accident that gave Bailey a fractured skull, put him out of hockey for life (TIME, Dec. 25).

Because Shore's presence would increase the gate, he was allowed to play last week. Before the game, which Toronto won handily, 7 goals to 3, he and Bailey shook hands, chatted for a moment at the centre of the rink. Shore, once the most unpopular player in the league, was thereafter cheered for every play he made.

To Bailey went the gate receipts--$20,909 --paid in by the crowd of 14,000. Both Toronto and the disorganized all-stars were on their best behavior for the occasion. Only two penalties were called.
