‘I Two Stars Of Yesteryear

ONE of the most enjoyable things that crop up for sports- wtiters is running into fellows_ who. a few years back, were really standouts in their own particular realm of athletics. These ttrnner greats like to come back and see their old friends.

Thursday morning was one such occasion for us as we spent a couple of hours with two stalwarts -if the hockey wars of the It's. We refer to Leo Sargent and Sammy McManius.

Of course, we see Sammy quite often. His job as traveller‘ with the Maritime Paint and Chemical Company brings him quite t'reql..clitly to the province.

But with Leo it's different. This was his first visit to Char- lottetown since he left here more than 25 years

LEO tells us he has been himself a return visit to this city for a long time but he never got around to it until this week. He is at present employed with General Motors in St. Cath- erii-es, Ont. " By this time, most of the young fry are wondering who Leo Sargent and Sammy McManus are. Well, if you had the opportun- ities of watching hockey back in the thirties. you wouldn’t. need toyask such a question. Both Sammy and Leo were top stars in those days when Maritime hockey was the best Allan Cup hockey in the Dominion of Canada.

An Allon CupTeom

igio was born at Arnprior, Ont.. and played his first hockey in the‘Maritiimes wltii the famed Truro Bearcats. He was in that

Sammy From Toronto

‘ SAMMY came down here from Toronto when a junior and per- formed first with New Glasgow When the Big Six started he was wi’. i Fredericton Capitals. Tihat team lasted just one year and Sammy went with Moncton Hawikis and was with them both years they won the Allan Cup. From Moncton he turned profess- ional with the Montreal Maroons organization.

Both Leo and Sammy were honest performers with their teams in the Maritime-s. And don't you ever let nnyonne_tell you that the hockey of that age wasn't exciting. It was terrific, make no mls.

Leo is indeed happy to be back renewing old friendships. He
