" gl-At one time as far as two goals ahead, clll adiens of Montreabman- I aged to defeat New York Rangers

4-3, here tonight in the first game A of the National CI-fockey League play-(XOWD series leading to the Smnley Cup competition.

The Ranzers were right close to ihe Canadiens and had the score tied at I-I and again at 2-2 before ihc Canadens finally forged in front i2. Even then Lester Patrlcks smart New Yorkers managed to hitch themselves closer and finish n-uiling by only one goal. The sec- uid game of the series will be pfay- i m here Saturday night and the

‘ihird in New York on Sunday night.

l-‘ourih and fifth games, if they- are

necessary, will be played at Madison square Gardens. Canadiens were in form tonight and only the smart work of John Ross Roach saved the

NPW Yorkers on many occasions.

Howe Morena started the scoring on Mondoirs rebound in the first psi-ind when Rangers were two men ihu-t. Bun Cook brought the Rang- crs abreast on a trailer play with rm Seibert splitting ‘the. defence.

Joli-at flipped a backhander through

the defence and into the cage in

the second and put the world cham-

imOOtlIIy and desperately: the Rang-

i‘l'$ came up into a tie again when

Johnny Gagnon beat Roach with

a blistering drive fromlnside the

defence as the third period got un- '

Rangers defence and the rangy‘ contra buzzed the puck into a. high- rorner of the net from a. difficult’

go, the Rangers managed a final goal. Bun Cook took a double assist from Keeling and Boucher in a scramble and was right in front of Hainsworth. He just had to turn around and poke it in. The Can- adiens then threw up a hide-bound defence and held off the Rangers till the end. SUMMARY FIRST PERIOD

GREAT BAITLE EXPECTED

_ Hockey fans who missed the Moncton-Abbie game, and then a- gain missed an opportunity to wit- ncss the Abbie-'I‘ruro tussle are still

‘kicking/themselves for their laxity in not attending on both occasions. However, there's still c. chance, but only one to cash in on a hockey game thai; is labelled a hummer and has every promise of showing the ear marks of a clash every bit as good as any played at the Forum this season. The tussle I refer to is tonight's set-to between Abbies and Amherst Ramblers, the second and final game of their home and home series goals to count.

Amherst by the way are Central héckey league champions, and at

Jemmett of 'I‘ruro Bearcats, they are clawed with any ‘ream in the Maritimes. They have plenty speed up front in Jemmett, Pecbles. While Fagan and others, and with Hud- sqn stiffening up the defence in front of the well known Leo Sar- gent, it looks as if Abbics are in for a hot night.

OFITAWA, Ont., March 24. — William Foran, prominent Ottawa sportsman, who ls one of the trus- tees of the Stanley Cup, stated this afternoon that if the National Hockey League refuses to meet the American League challengers there will be no Stanley Cup games.

"I am going to Montreal to- morrow to meet Frank Calder. President of the Natonal Lea- gue," said Mr. Foran. We have ac- cepted the challenge of the Arn- erlcan League and will settle the whole matter tomorrow."

WOULD RELINQUISH CUP ..

MONTREAL, Que., Mal‘. 24. - "I have nothing more to say, I expressed my opinions Frank Calder, President of the National Hockey League, said to- day when questioned in regard to the challenge of Chicago Sham- rocks, Amerlcan Hockey League champions, issued against the National Hockey League leaders for the Stanley Cup.

Mr. Calder a few weeks ago said when a similar challenge was of- fered that the N. H. L. would not contest the Stanley Cup with "an outlaw league." The National Hoc- keyLeaguc would rather relinquish the Cup altogether, he said.

say, was this: That Dalhousie was to my mind the poorest of the four teams to compete for a. Canadian ihampionshlp f0: the reason that they lacked a scoring punch. In this regard Fredericton would have been the ideal team," he added. They had what the Montreal crit- ics say Dalhousie lacked, namely. finish around the nets. The Abeg- weits lacked something in this re- gard too. Time and time again vrhen they had goalies at their mercy they failed at the net mouth. This is an art required by careful coach- ing and conscientious practice. Stan Birigoyne taught this trick to the 'I‘riiro' Bearcatsand this year to the Fredericton Capitals. "If you don't believe me, ask Boston or the Abbies," said our informant.

The peculiar thing about "Busec- tion was that the Abbies had the superiority complex on Moncton and the inferiority complex with

marked superiority complex with Fredericton and very much feared the Abbicsfand with good reasons, as in eight games they only won two. It is my opinion, said the speak- er, that had Charlottetown been strengthened a little bit in the odd weak spots and coaching given with special attention to work about the nets-not forgetting the referee question, there is no doubt they would have gone far in the race for the Allan Cup. .

Just a big bit of praise should be given the Island team and no cen- sure for they have invariably fought with that quality of courage and do or die determination-

HORSEMAN ILL

The many friends of Dr- J. O. Calkin, former owner of Johnny Miles, 2.ll’,~£-, will regret to lern that he is ill. It is hoped that Mr. Calkin will soon be around again and able the coming summer to see "Johnny" performing on the pace.

rorvcanfry or HOCKEY

Those who claim that hockey has hit the Psnk and is in tho decline as far as our neighbors to the south are concerned should surely be given the quictus with some fig- ures which Col. Jolm Hammond of the Rangers unloaded the other day. Receipts to date for the Na- tional League features have totalled over three million dollars, with ev- ery club in the league showing an increase in attendance except the Detroit Falcons and the Chicago Bleak Hawks. And the decrease in these have been very slight. The most {spectacular increase is made by the Toronto Maple Leafs who have tilmed out the wonder team of the year and have created real interest henever they have played. The R- rs are well ahead of last year. Depression or no depression hockey is hers to stay, says 35m- mond, and adds, “Hockey has just scratched the surface of its appeal,

with the return of normal times we will have to enlarge all drenas." .

CANADIENS HAVE EDGE

Dave Gill, former Ottawa. pilot, experienced hockey observer, racon- teur, all round good fellow calls the coming playoffs as follows: "Can- adlens appear to have the ledge. They are steady and have ploy-off experience. Toronto have a good club, but have demonstrated an in and out tendency. Montreal are liable to do anything. Perhaps lose in straight games or win the cham- pionship." He labels them incon- sistent. "Rangers are not so hot as in the early part of the season. Chi-A cage do not seem as strong as last season. Detroit if they hold third place will scarcely get by." Refer- ring to Boston he declares it is nearly time they developed a few players instead of getting, them ready made. Thcro it is from a neu- i-ral observer, who has seen all the teams play this year, 8H0 whose de- tached viewpoint is worth recording.

SUMMING ‘EM U!‘

A Montreal comment with regard to Dalhousie Rangers says in part: "Daihousie Ranger's had Winged Wheelers backdnto their own zone for the best part of the final pcr- iod last night, but their scoring efforts were highly ineffective. Those two goals by Neville were enough for Montreal to come and go on. They should carry this mar- gin to the finish _in fact cven add to it.

ICE RACING ATYSIIJEI

(Special To The Guardian)

Yesterday's "ice races at Sum- merside were very largely attend- ed and gave the fans plenty of thrills as there was some real sports at this meet. As the day was fine and the roads good, a large crowd came in from the country. The track was in perfect condition. All the races were very closely contested. There were four classes. In Class A., Yorkola won in straight heats, but was pushed closely by Major S. Billy Witte, al- though a. green horse. raced in with the Free-for-All and showed up wonderfully well. The fans ex- pected to see him outclassed, but he finished a good third. Class B. Witty Jim answered the bell with the veteran driver and owner, Gor- don Dawson, and again carried off the honours as in last week's race. It can be truly said that Mr. Daw- son is "Geers the Second." l-lc cer- tainly showed the coming genera- tion how to pilot the horses. Allie Witte trailed him a close second with Peter Will Tell wnnlng third. Class C. had the fans gassing. John F. winning the first hcat with Pansy Volo pushing him closely. In the next heat Pansy Volo came to the front with Trouble Cope a close second, John F. landing third. The third heat was won by John it, Pansy Volo second and Trouble Cope. third. Class D. was won in straight heats by Witty ‘Lindy, with Johnny Mack" second and Don Forbes third. The racing fans appreciated the able manner in which the races have been handled this season by the starter announcer and jud- ges. ldr. Harry Billiphant and Mn W. B.

The P. W. C. hockey team came up to Summerside on Wedncldw

evening and crossed sticks with the Sumrnerside Hockey Club at the Crystal Rink. P. W. C. was snow- ed under with a score of 6-2 in fav- or of the local boys. The first per- lod opened fair and after six minu- tes of play Tub Gay on a pass from Frank Woodside notched up the first goal for Summerslde. Near the end of the peﬂod Dickie plac- ed the puck in the P. W. C. drap- eries. The second period went scoreless. In the third O'Brien scored twice for S. I-I. C. Gay on a pass from O'Brien made the fifth tally. G. Stewart in a mix-up in front of S. H. C. net made the first score for P. W. C. Beer from a left wing shot scored the second and last goal for the visitors. Another taJLV was made for the home team when Lea in a beautiful solo rush shot the puck in the net.
