The light will be the first oi.‘ a brand new season and it should start said season oif with a bang. McCoi-mack loser to Claybourng nn two previous occasions still thinks he can handle the cagy southpaw iiighter and will enter the ring trained to the minute for the scrap. Claybourne with loads of confidence Shlfled by his previous victories will be out to make it three in a row,

I I I I

Just how well he will succeed re- mains to be seen. But one thing is certain the fight faithful will wit- ness a scrap all the way. In those other fights both boys hammered at each other every minute the fights lasted and with both predict- ing victories for tonight it would- n't It all surprise u; if this third meeting between the pair should top the others ironi all angles,

I I I I

Meeting 1n the semi-final is Bomber Shepherd of Cardigan and Cheverie oi Souris. Bomber raipidiy becoming a local favorite carries plenty oi sting in either rand while Clieverle is also said to possess lcinal wallops in either mitt; if they do this meeting should be productive of plenty of rugged battling. Well- matched preliminaries will round out a show that should be well worth witnessing

I I I I

The curtain may or may not be drawn on the Commerical-Service Hockey Iieague tonight depending solely whether or not Royals can force a playoff with a victory over the Saints. But whether or not it ends tonight the league certainly produced all the action that the most rabid Ian could desire,

I I I I

From the opening game the play- er; showed interest aplenty and went into each game determined to play to the best; of their ability. There was no "what does it mat- ter attitude" about their actions; They were sincere about their work every game and ii they didn't a- chieve great success from an at- tendance view point they certain- ly did from their own in the sin- cere manner in which thew went about each and every game on the schedule.

I I I I

All the games have been closely fought and the packed standing oi the teams at present shows how evenly the squads were matched. Even in scoring it has been a bat- ter race and tonight will likely sec the scoring champion crowned,

I I I I

Bert Steele and wilf Whalen are tiod with 14 points apiece with Bucko Trainer second with 13 and Cweorgo McLeod and Charlie Delg- lian third with 12. Tralnor and Whalen are through with their games but the other three, all see- ing action tonight all have a chalice dor the magnificent shield that gIes to the winner.

I I I I

The fast skating Steele is in the driver's seat but it is likely he will be closely watched tonight while Royals will attempt to got either McLeod or Deighaii into scoring plays. Atpart from the game the scoring race will furnish Just an- other bit of interest and which ever player finally ends up on top will certainly earn his title.

I I I I

While on hockey the Junior play- offs will not be long in rolling a- tround and when it does local fans will again have the privilege of see-

\ ing Coach Walter Lawlor dump another strong Royals squad Over the boards in defence of their Mar- itime title.

I I I I

There was a dark outlook on the Royals chances a matter 0f only a week or so ago but since that time the clouds have taken on a much different liuo. At present it HD2611!» that the only lace that will be missing from last year's crew will ho Tarky Whitlock.

I I I I

The rest of the tea-m will pro- bably be intact. Burke Trainor may or may not be here as he is a mem- ber of the Army forces but it ap- pears probable that either Davis or Boates will be in the nets; at de- fence points will be the hard-hit- ting pair of Willie McDonald and

MONTREAL, Jan. 15—(UP)—A8 befits league leaders, N. Y. Rangers and Boston Bruins players are mon- 01101111118 top positions in the Na- tional Hockey League scoring race. Of the first seven scorers all but two are members of these teams.

The first two positions, however, according to official statistics, are

other teams. Despite an injury that has kept him out of action more than a week. Gordon Drillon oi Toronto Maple Leafs is in first place with 25 points, while Hector (Toe) Blake of lvfontreal Canadiens is next with 24.

Ater that the monopoly begins, Neil Colville of the Rangers has 23 points. Bryan Hextall oi Rangers and Milt Schmidt of Boston have 22 and Woody Dumnrt of Boston and Alex Shibicky of Rangers have 21.

Drillon, with 15 goals, still leads the actual scorers but he ls hard ‘pressed by I-[extall with 14 and l-Ierby Cain of Boston with 13. Cain, who turned ln iour-goal game lnat week, scored five times altogether since last Tuesday.

Phil Watson of Rangers leads the piaymakers with 15 assists , one more than Bill Cowley, Boston's good centre. Neither, however, has scored enough goals to gain a place among the scoring leaders.

A perennial “bad man," Red Homer of Toronto Maple Leafs is pressing Wilbur (Dutch) Hlller or Rangers for the title of being the league's. most penalized man_ The New Yorker still leads with 46 niin- utes on the bench but Homer is right behind with 45.

Royals Need

What may or may not be the closing chapter of the Commer- cial-Service Hockey Imague, de- pending soley on the outcome oi the game, takes place tonight at the Forum with the Saints fresh from a 10-3 victory over the Army meeting the Junior Royals in the last scheduled game of the league. Riding on the result of tonight's game is just who will be the win- ners. Navy leading the Royals by two points will back into the title if Saints should come through with a victory over the Juniors while if Royals emerge the winners a two game total score series will be played between Royals and Navy to decide the champions. So from the Juniors standpoint the game is plenty important. But they will receive plenty opposition from the University boys who in the near future start their inter- collegiate schedule. Both teams when clicking in all departments can score a lot of goals; both have speed galore no matter what com- binations they throw on the ice and both have the desire to win on every appearance. Saints won their first victory in the league at the Royals expense and feel they can repeat the feat while the Royals, still stinging from that lacing will be out for complete revenge. On the occasion of their last win over the Juniors, Saints

at that time kept Royals from going into a tie for the league lead with the sailors and who

At a meeting of the Crystal hockey club heiu over the week- end. it was decided to enter an intermediate team in Island may- domis. All last years team is avail. able except Charlie and Jim Hogan. the former being with the Dartmouth Rough Riders and the latter playing with the Army in Charlottetown.

Playing-coach Charlie Cahill in conversation with the presg 185', night. stated he had a formidable crow all ready to take the ice to- night for their first workout. It ls rumored that there will be no 11111101‘ team here this year, and ii this be the case a number oi last year Capitals are ready to step into intermediate ranks.

All last year's team are request- ed to be on hand at 7 p. m. along with any one else desirous of try- ing out. Arrangements are already being made to try and have a team here Friday evening for an exhibition game-S.
