The Sports Arena will be the scene Friday night of Wallie Scantle-bury’: always-popular Ice Follies.
Wallie has been carrying on this work for many years with- out much fanfare and each spring has delighted large n-umbens ‘of patrons with excellent revues. This Friday will certainly be no exception.
The program will be a varied one and will feature fancy skat- ing, clowns and novelty numbers.
Make a point now to sit in on this most entertaining program.
Ron Delaney, winner of 24 straight mile races, has been named the outstanding track athlete of the indoor season by the Track Writers Association of New York.
The Irish star, who competes for Villonova University broke the world indoor record with a 4.03.4 mile at Chicago March 14. He has won 29 straight races.
The folks who like their hockey by television need worry no more. Now the word comesright from ‘the horse’s mouth’.
The C.B.C. has announced that it will broadcast and televise all games in the Stanley Cup finals between Bruins and Oanadiens.
That's really cheap sports en- te"_r-tainment for four nights at least.
‘Moncton C. Y. 0. are boiling mad at the Canadian Amateur Basketball Association and are even considering legal action.
It all came about when the C. A. B. A. eliminated Moncton from Dominion competition. The Monctonians were scheduled to meet the Quebec winner but the latter dropped out. Windsor, the Ontario champion, refused to give the New Brunswickers travelling expenses.
Team manager Greg Murphy went after C. A. B. A. officials and Murphy claims he was told
_ “it was a waste of time for the New Brunswick "team to journey all the way to Ontario to absorb a ‘bad beating”.
Murphy said “we went $600 in debt bringing the Ontario win- not down last year and according to the rules we were supposed to play up there this year."
“Afitenall we paid our dues with the C. A. B. A., and they should give us in New Brunswick a fair shake with the other pro- vinces.”
His reasoning soundus logical.
Although Bob I-lazle cracked on eighth inning double Monday against Los Angeles Dodgers and then scored the deciding run in Milwaukee Braves’ 3-2 victory, there is much speculation that he will become trading bait.
I-Iazle will be remembered as 906 guy whose .403 batting aver- age paced Braves home in front last year.
Is he to become another Dusty Rhodes?
game and one for total.
His Worship Mayor Johnstone officially open the tourna- ment Friday morning at 9:00 o’clock.
Saturday evenin-g a closing ban- quet will be held at the Queen Hotel. The trophy and individual prizes will be presented by Run- die Seaman.
Cookie Lavagetto is desperate- ly trying to swing a deal that would bolster his cellar-picked Washington Senators but‘ so far Cookie hasn’t had any luck. ‘_— ’l)he Nats are in dire need of reinforcements but no one seems willing to come to their aid; Try as Cookie may he still runs into the same brick wall. Everybody wants Roy Sievens but won't give enough in return. The Washington slugger can be had, but only in a three or four - for - one deal involving players.
And still on baseball Milwau- kee Braves have sent John De-
fielder to their Jacksonville,_ Florida minor league camp for reassignment to a farm club. , The Braves signed DeMerit off the University of Wisconsin cam- pus last May for $60,000 bonus. He played in thirty-three games for the Braves mostly as a pinch- runner or a late-inning defensive replacement, and batted .147.

Lair McLennan, who came to Woodstock from Truro, N.S., paced the scorers with 21 poind ‘ McGuiggan had 18 to lead the Charlottetown marksmen.
Senators lost an early lead but regained it for a 29-22 ad-- vantage at half time. In one portion of the second half they shot 15 points without a reply.

DO_\r‘\/N THE_
BACK STRETCH
Otty Stevenson, manager of the Moncton Raceway, has announ- ced that the harnessrracing sea- son will get underway around May 24, weather permitting. Good racing is anticipated be- cause of the large number of horses that are expected to take part in the season’s contests. Up- wards of 15 new arrivals will add interest.
Last year a total of 38 meet- ings were held, and it is expect- ed that this year, because of the earlier opening, the /number will be increased. Every year the Moncton Raceway has become more and more popular, and our Island horses find it an easy trip and have provided considerable of the excitement to the finishes there.
Our local driver, Joe Hennes- sey, has been a winner on quite a number of occasions, driving horses owned by Francis Breau. The Moncton t-rack pari-mutuel players put close to half a mil- lion doll-ars through last year, with 80 per cent of it going back to the bettors, and the track paid out $66,425 to horse owners in purses. ’
This year, the American total- izer machine will be installed, and the saliva and urine tests will be taken of winning horses and other selections from the start- ers. These will be under the con- trol of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
SUN SHINES
While our province is covered with snow, out in Santa Anita Park, California, the sun is shin- ing brightly and temperatures
are running close to the 80-de- gree mark. Our local horseman, Joe
O'Brien, has been right in the limelight, winning on March 25 and on March 29 with the nine- year-old trotter, Model Heir, over good fields. The purses were $2,- 000 for each event, and the time on a track that was far from
were single dashes.
Joe pulled a big surprise in the Los Angeles Trot, purse $11,350, when he headed a very fast field that had had the advantage of previous starts ,by placing Butch Hanover first to the wire in 2.04 2/5. The race was described as follows: “The first $10,000 stake of the season was the Los Angeles for free-for-all trotters. Ladies First and Lumber Boy raced to the quarter in 30 1/5; they were at the h-alf in 1.02 3/5. Rounding the turn, O’Brien came out with Mutch Hanover, but was caught back of Lumber Boy as Ladies First took the lead. It looked as though Joe O’Brien couldn’t get out of his back-tier position, but about 100 yards from the wire he found racing room a-t the rail, and closed with a great burst of speed to win by inches, with Ladies First second and Gayleway third, only a length separating the three trot-ters. The Camp-owned stallion paid $29,- 10 for his win ,and came his last quarter in 29 seconds on a slow track.”
THE ’FLU
Influenza has hit the stable area at Santa Anita, and several of the drivers had to get replace- ments and quite a number of the grooms are suffering from its effects.
One of the good juveniles that was overlooked at the Harrisburg Sale two years ago by Joe O’Brien, was his namesake, O’Brien Hanover. Del Miller pick- ed him up, and’ last year. as a two--year-old, he won $6,438 and this record was 2.03 2/5. This year, he has shown sign-s of being a real star and has won three times at "Santa Anita. On March 28, he won the B Pace. purse $2,- 000. in 2.03 -—one of the fastest miles of the meeting. He was driven by Del Miller, who has a very high-class stable at Santa Anita and is leading driver. Among the Roosevelt entries, 'we notice the five-year-old trot- ting mare, Gratis Hanover, that has been in the stable of Sanders Russell since she was purchased by Richard Logue of Sydney, N. S., as a yearling.
We were curious to see how. much she has won in her three
fast, was 2.04 4/5 and 2.05 - both
shows it was $49,931. so owner Logue made no mistake in buy- ing her.
WELL UP
The Rockingham Park. Salem, New Hampshire, was slated to open last Friday night, and we notice where the leading driver in America, Billy Haughton, was to race in a $4,000 stake for pac- ers. Billy has been leading reins- man in the U.S. for six years, averaging half a million dollars in purses each season.
In the second night of the meet, Johnny Simpson will drive Medal Scotch in the $4,000 Salem Stake. Simpson won the 1957 Hambletonian and the Little Brown Jug, richest trotting and pacing stakes, respectively, with Hickory Smoke, 3, 2.00 1/5, and

And now we present to our readers the entries for “The Haligonian” early closing stake for three-year-olds, that will be raced at Sackville Downs on September 20, 1958. You will note among the entries, quite a num- ber from our province. The purse will be made up of $1,000 from

The Charlottetown Royals kept alive their hopes of winning the Maritime Senior Hockey Cham- pionships by defeating the Northside Combines 10-6 last night at the Sports Arena in the sixth game of a best-of-seven semi-final series. The seventh and deciding game will be played in the city tonight. an
The two teams fought through two exciting and close periods before the Royals put the-‘ game away for keeps with five third period goals.
Buck Whitlock and Angie Car- roll each scored three times for
Sackville Downs, and nominating fees paid by the entries. At pre- sent, the purse is worth $1,000 plus the $600 paid in nominating fees to date, and there are still two more payments to be made - one on July 15 of $2000, and the starting fee, which is to be paid on September 16, of $25.00. It is quite likely that the purse will run to $2,000 or more before starting time. 1 For the information on the race we are indebted to John F. Cruik- shank, Race-Secretary, Sackville

METZ, France (CP) - Can- ada’s European hockey ambas- sadors, RCAF Flyers, won 32 of 42 games during the 1957-58 sea- son to retain the Peter Cunning- ham memorial trophy and the c(h.ampionshi.p of the Western Eu- ropean Hockey League. ‘
The trophy was donated by the RCAF and is dedicated, along with Flyers’ home rink at No. 3 Fighter Wing, Zweilbruecken, Germany, to the late Flt. Lit. Peter Cun-ningha(rn of Ottawa, founder of the team. . V
The record of 32 wins, flour ties and six losses is the best com- piled by the Canadian airmen in four years of European hockey. Besides regular league competi- tion against one Dutch and seven German clubs, the Flyers played against -the n a t i o n a 1 teams of Sweden, Holland, Switzerland, France, Italy, Scotland and Ger- many.
Of the -season's six losses, two came at the hands of Canada's world champion Whitby team. The games were arranged to help Whitby become acquainted with European hockey rules.
Wherever they appeared, the

Ottawa, a civilian employed by the RCAF and the only non-ai:'- -man on the team:
“More than 200,000 European -hockey fans saw the Flyers in action this year plus countless more on television. With the wonderful receptions we have had and the many invitations to ‘come back again,’ it looks like we will have another jam-packed season next year."
Cpl. F-rank Oatway of Sum- merside, P.E.I., and Trotticr were the Flyers’ top marksmen. Oatway scored 78 goals and was credited with 52 assists for a to- tal of 130 points, 10 mire than Trottier’s 74-46-120.
LAC Sam Brown of Glace Bay, N.S., followed with a 35-30-65 total.

The Royals went all out for victory right from the start and after only two and a half mi xtes of play Allie Carver found the range to give the Royals. a 1-0 lead. Carver picked up his own rebound after his hard shot had been stopped by Madinsky.
The Royals kept pressing and Buck Whitlock teaming up with Carver scored his first tally of the night while his team was short-handed. MacLure was off at the time serving a penalty.
The Combines roared back and MacCarron scored during a scramble in front the Char- lottetown net for ‘e visitors first tally. Bomber Andrea scor- ed l3 seconds later for the North Sydney team to tie up the game.

Jack Ready gave the Royals. a two goal lead again a few min- utes later with a lot of help from Stu MacLure. MacLure picked up the loose puck deep in Charlotte- town territory and carried all the way right through the defence before passing to Ready who fir- ed a hard shot into the open cor- ner.
In the second period the Royals really turned on the pressure, but were only able to secure one goal. Madinsky in nets for the Combines turned in a sparkling performance, coming up with 23 saves.
