"We have gambled on his
playing," said Chicago General
Manager Tommy Ivan. "If he
doesn't play, we still pay- and
we lose. We are committed all
the wav as far as I'm con-

the chase in a bidding sweep-
stakes for the services of Orr,
who sat in on the final few
hours of negotiations here be-
fore rushing back to Toronto
and the hospital.
Chicago won on the basis of
its "willingness to commit itself
for a greater amount of time
and money than we were," sajd
Bruins President Paul A. Moon-
ey after Boston lost out in a
last-minute attempt to meet or
beat the Chicago offer.

they had gambled in signing
the man who has been modern
hockey's most dazzling per-
former despite the continued
battles with a surgeon's scal-
pel. But the team might have

medical future by Friday, the
earliest date Dr. John Palmer
