ROSTON BRUINS who gave such a terrific demonstration in last year’s Stanley Cup fimals have fallen upon evil days and unless they come to life in a real hurry, the year i promise to be a happy and prosperous one.

Right now, the Bruins are floundering im fifth place, only |

five points up on the tail end Toronto Maple Leafs. Indeed the real story is even sadder than that. The Leafs have three games in hand and should they win those three, .the Bostonians would be sole owners of the National Hockey League cellar.

IT WAS NEW YORK that made the old year ending and the new year beginning unhappy for the Schmidt crew. The Rangers hung a 43 defeat on Boston Wednesday night in. New York and

then kept up the same kind of work New Year's night in Boston, whpping the homesters 5-2 before a packed Garden crowd.

: The wins moved Phil Watson's boys into sole possession of second place and that’s as high as they can hope to get this geason. Montreal Canadiens are eleven points in front and there's practically no hope of catching them. True the Canadiens didn’t *do anything spectacular over the ogy but nobody is paying

‘much attention te their temporary lull. Toe’ Blake’s men are cer- tainly entitled to a few dull ry

ONE OF THE BIGGEST surprises of the past few days is Chicago. The Black Hawks turned on the fading Detroit Red ings Wednesday night and beat them 42, fhen entertained the powerful Canadiens Thursday and held them to a 22 tie.

The Leafs have yet to beat the Hawks and it’s this showing that has kept them in the league basement: win over Chicago tonight would close the gap a bit and shoul eo ee oe Leafs would be breathing down the Bruins’ xs.

The red-hot Rangers are visiting in Montreal they'll do all in their power to keep their 1959 winning intact.

THAT ROSE BOWL show was quite ‘a spectacle and we cer- tainly had a ‘real ‘ringside seat here in Charlottetown. There wasn’t much glamour that they denied fhe public and it was sure easy to see why this New Year's Day affair is one of the

year’s greatest sport scenes. The at ance was over the 100,000 mar as we watc! just how much of the play

Anyway, we had no such kicks. We had a better view of the classic than anybody in the Bowl. It was indeed a very inexpen- sive evening’s entertainment.

IN.OUR ANNUAL REVIEW, we stated that it was just merely touching the surface. We had fears that we would omit some- thing that should have gone into the column. Our fears-were well- founded. é :

Our apologies to the Montague curlers who represented the

| Island in the Dominion Legion Curling -finals in Ontario last winter. J ak

The Montague -boys beat their other Island competitors and in the big show in Ontario had a most creditable 44 record. Rink members were At MacDonald, Doug McGowan, George Me- Connell and Athol Robertson. ee

We regret the omission of this item:from our review.

THERE HAS BEEN much talk concerning Birdie Tebbetts’ position with the Milwaukee Braves. Mary were voicing their opinion after: he went to the National League champions that he would have quite a say in what went. on around County ‘ Stadium. Many were openly predicting that Haney and Tebbetts wouldn't hit it off.

To all of those who have expressed /opinions on the matter, Birdie himself has a word to say: “It is costing me better than 340,000 a year to give up my New Hampshire home and insurance business I have there. If T had any intention of managing again, 1 certainly wouldn't be moving to Milwaukee. I got $51,000 for managing the last year at Cincinnati. As for my job--let’s take for example. the matter of trades. John Quinn will make them. Naturally I will sit im, along with Fred Haney and John. But if : d nd they don't. it will not be made.
