Original Toronto Star caption: Victor in power struggle on Maple Leaf board, chairman John Bassett leaves four-hour meeting on crutches, which he's used since a fall from a horse. Stafford Smythe, ousted as president, gives a thumbs-up signal and Harold Ballard shows stoic calm after being dismissed as executive vice-president. Requested to resign, Smythe and Ballard declined; board fired them regretfully.
