J VIBy LAURIE ARTISSSun Snorts EditorA three * man arbitration group from t 'e Canadian Am ateur Hockey Association, for #11 intents and purposes, laid to rest a muddled money matter at a meeting Sunday »nWinnipeg,The hassle over the linen*c*al obligations to Manitobaand Saskatchewan branches byBrandon Wheat Kings and FI inF’on Bombers had become a storey controversy in a sea ofconfusion that took six hours ccmir g to a conclusion yester*day. *After hearing representationsSettles Dispute On Galefrom the two provincial branches and the two clubs,the CAHA came up with atwo-part decision. Firstly, theypermitted the two clubs to enter the SJHL since therehad been no serious conflict ' to this question among the parties.Secondly Brandon and FI in Flon will remit two per cent of gross gate receipts of each scheduled home game and five per cent of all playoff games to the SAHA. This amount willbe d ivided equally betweentoe SAHA and MAHA up tothe point where each has received $600 from each club After *hat. the MAHA will receive the entire allocation.The session in Winnipegbrought together the arbitration trio of CAHA vice-president Fred Pago of Fort Wil-liam, past president Art Potter of Edmonton and secre-tary-manager Gordon Juckcsof Melville.The warring clans included Bob Alexander and Earl Dawson, representing the MAHA;SAHA president Frank Ger-mann of Wilcox and SJHLcommissioner Frank Boucher; who represented the clubs. Despite two executive sources announcing p r e v lously the Wheat Kings would not be represented coach Jim Henry and executive member Claude Col lister did sit in on the meeting as observers.Following announcement ofthe decision, both branches stated they would agree tothe conditions Boucher was unavailable tor comment JimHenry said he wished to re* port back to the Brandon ex ecutive and would only add, No comment. Flin Flon had nobody at the meetingIt would appear the decision is an attempt at a compromise although it leans a little more toward previous MAHA offers than it does to any suggestion for settlement from Brandon(Flin Flon had made none).The MAHA had suggested two per cent of all league and playoff games last spring but Brandon had turned it down. Now they will pay that per centage for league games and five per cent in playoffs. How* ever, this remittance will in elude the SAHA's share.Previously. Bran don and Flin Flon were to pay $500 to the SAHA at pari of their leaoue fees Now the percentage could be less and it will reach a ceiling of $600 to theSAHA.After earlier offers were not accepted, the MAHA had turn* ed to their bylaws which stipulated Manitoba |un»or clubs pay 10 per cent of semi final gates and IS per cent in finals. They stood the chance of deriving nothing i* the clubs lost in league or quartet-finals. Butthe potential was there for asuable amount H either oi both reached the final.The CAHA's decree has cut that potential because it is only five per cent of all playoffs. But the Manitoba branch does not have that same play off gamble. Thrv will derive that assured two per .ent during league play. THS will probably be around S600-S8C0 from Brandon and perhaps $400-5600 from Flin Flon.
