Ahe Yanofsky To Compete In Chess Congress

i

HASTINGS, Sussex, England, Dec. 30 —(CP Cable) Abe Yanofaky, believed to be the Youngest recognized chess master in the world. wears the recently- acquired honor with the ease of a veteran.

Unlike other masters who stud- iously concentrate on the intri- cnte problems of the game the Canadian co-champlon shows little interest when not actually, playing.

Here to compete in the 22nd Hastings International Chess Congress, the young Winnipeg ex- sailor said in an interview today that he never had "really got down to any serious study of chess.”

His powers of concentration are tremendous. He says he has learn- 'ed more during the last ii 1-2 months playing in international tournaments in Europe and South America than he did in all the ll years he played in Canada whore he was a "boy prodigy."

Ynnofsity was recognized as a mastcr in tho September Chess Masters Tournament at gen. Holland. where he scored one oi’ the major upsets of the year by defeating Mikhail Bot- vinnlk of Russia. ultimate winner of tile tournament. Since then 11c has been overwhelmed with in- vitations from various parts of ihc world. Bis youth and play- ing abilitv make him a great drawing card.

Kcnslngton in 4_-all Tie With Cside Legion

In a hard fought. game before a llPge crowd. the Kensington Gran. ltes tied the Summerside Legion last night at the Crystal Rink, the game ending d-aii. The home boys outskated their inter-town rivals but the plays of the red-shined vis- itors were clicking with more precision over the blue line. Many golden opportunities went glim- mering for the Kensington squad when the last. man to handle the; puck on pretty three-way passing plays shot feebly, the wafer failing to leave the ice. Botih goalies Sauve for the Legion and Matthews for Kensington played well, turrdng back many hard shots. The game was rugged and referee Charlie Hogan was kept busy chasing transgessore to the penalty bench.

DECEMBER a1. 1946

Once again we come to the end of another year in sports and view-

ed from all angles a definite comeback trend was noticed in all branches with attendances also showing improvement. Another notable felvure was the stress laid on the younger element and this is due in large measure to the ul- tiring efforts put forth by Bill Reid, Director of Physical Fitness. O 0 ‘I O-

And there will be no ietup in this important phase. Already the Physical Fitness Director is lay- ing his plans for the coming year and the youngsters throughout the Province can be certain of receiv-

Just as much attention throughout 1047 as they (1rd in the year which "now is rapid drawing to a close. .

Lookirlg back over 194d first thing to come to our attention is last season's City Hockey League. considered to be the best; league in operation here since the days of the Big Four.

i O i» O

All season long the four teams comprising the league, Navy, Leg- l-on, Saints and Prince of Wales Welshman put up stirring struggles that caught the fancy of the large numbers who used to attend. Johnny Bquarebriggs’ Welshman finally came through in the final with victories over the Legion team but each and every encount- er of the finals were hard-fought affairs.

While the Legion team were los- ing out in the City League. never- theless, bolatered by the presence of some players from the other City League teams. the squad handled by Roy Prowsg showed their prowess by coming through to capture the Maritime Inter- mediate Championship to regain the title held by local teams a number of years ago.

Junlor hockey also came in for iis share of attention. The Island champions captured the New Brunswick-P. E. I. title but thcn fell victims to the Nova Scofla champions, St. Mary's Colic-gr; of Halifax. But while these were the highlights of the local season in addition midget and Juvenile activities throughout other centres of the Province leagues were in full swing from the time ice formed in the different rinks and during 1847 hockey leagues are expected to show an increase.

A fast. sharpshootlng band of 5t. Dunstan’; basketball players prov- ed the pick of tthe City Basketball League and this was another branch of sport that showed signs of making a comeback. With all games-being played in the Prince of Wales auditorium the teams

comprising the league waged some mighty fine struggles and fan in- iarcst as the season drew to a close was very gratifying to the league officials. 0 O- 1- 0

Prince of Wales Co-Eds con- tinued to rule the roost in ladies circles and in adlliti-on to games with local teams also took a total points series from Amherst High School girls, gaining their margin in the second game after losing to the Nova. Scotlans in the first game.

As usual the different curling clubs throughout the province en- joyed a "roarin" good season. The different club matches. the inter- provincial competition and fight for the British Console Trophy once again ileid the spotlight and although s Charlottetown rink skipped by Frank Hansen were again returned winners in the lat- ter trophy competition the other rinks were distinct threats all the

way. O O Q

Next February the Island Curling Association are staging a Confed- eration Bonspiel that has already attracted entries from points throughout the Dominion and as far di-stant as Minnesota in the

Moncton Hawks Defeat

Beavers 7-5

To Extend

Leadership In Big Four

MONCTON. N. 8., Dec. 30 -: (CP) — Moncton Hawks extend- ed their leadcrshlp in the Big Four senior hockey league to two games tonight by defeating Saint John Beavers 7-5.

The game produced ‘a scoreless first period, a three-goal outburst in the second and a free-scoring final period which produced nine markers. Conditioning paid off for the Hawks.

After matching strides with their white-skirted opponents for two periods, Beavers faded bald- ly in the last half of tile filial period and Hawks came from

fest, at the present time the bori- splel should be a decided success. l- 'I' '

Marked improvement was also noted in baseball activities both on the brand 0f bail exhibited and the attendances. In fact so gocd was it that Fred "Husky" McCabeEs All Stars, winning six straight playoff games from Sumnlerslde. St, Joseph's of New Brunswick and Sydney. marched right off with the Maritime title, Sydney de- faulting after losing the first two games of a, scheduled bcst of five series, It was" the first limo we believe that a Maritime has-shall title had been won by n Char- lottetown team.

O Q l»

Charlie Ryan's juniors, organiz- ed late in the season also came through with sparkling perform- ances when in the plrrvdowns. Given little chance the Ryan- cosched team captured the Island crown; continuing their sparkling display they beat the New Bruns- wick entry in two straight games to give them the two-province title and although they fell fo Liverpool juniors lg the finals they forced the Nova cotians to the limit before bowing out, in a series they weren't supposed to have a chance to win.

The reforecing came in for criticism from the players and rcsillted in two misconduct pon- alties when the contestants be- came too forceful in disputing the arbitrators‘ rulings.
