One more game remains to be played in the Oily Hockey Lea- gue. It is s postponed game be- tween the two college teams. Saints and Welshmen. The game is a crucial one for the City Col- lege team for a win would place them in a third-place tie with the Navy team. It would also leave Saints and the Leglonaires deadlocked for first place.

"Baseball is just like any other business," he continued. “The club-owners must expect-and make--a reasonable return on their investments and. unless they do. they'll be forced out of busin-

THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN‘

All Stars And Knotty Nines-s Play 7-7 Tie In Game At Montague

Driving home four goals in the third period as their gauging at- tacks paid off Charlottetown?» Knotty Niners gained a 'l-'l draw with a stron Southern King's All Star squad in a hard-fought ex- hibition hockey tilt at the Mon- tague rink Saturday night.

Hopes of the All Stars’ followers for a good showing in the intcr- mediate playdowns were given a boost as the Southern Kings‘ rep- resentatives ied the City squad 2-1 in the first period and 5-3 at the end oi’ the second only to weaken before the superior team play of the Niners in the final stanza when they threw five forwards in- to the fray.

Hampered by sticky ice both teams nevertheless went: witlc- open and stuck strictly to hockey with only twn penalties being handed out, one to each squat]. keeping the largest crowd oi‘ the season in suspense all during the contest.

The All Stars opened the scor- ing in the first period when Park Fraser drove a searcher past Ab- bie Wecks from close in after ac- cepting passes from Ernie Carver and Collins. Play speeded up and A. Fraser in the All Stars net was tested repeatedly as the City 16am forced the issue finally realizing when Allie Carver banged in Bub- by Dowlings handout. The stale- mate was qulckiy broken when Bubby Dowiing was chased to the penalty box and the Murray Har- bor line of MacDonald-Herring and White clicked on a passing play with McDonald pulling the trisser. giving the All Stars a 2-1 lead as the period ended.

"Tiddle" _McEwen, veteran of many on epic hockey struggle when he was between the pipes for the Montague Primroses and who was handling the All Stars from its bench sent his charges right I the attack as the second period got underway and they increased the-r icad 3-1 when Collins caught Weeks out of position. Bubby Dow- ling got one back for the Niners 0n a smart individual effort stlckhanding through the defence fir") hlfllifli; a thirty-foot drive past Fraser but the Georgetown lme of Fitzgerald-McLean-Mt-Neil nullified this with a well-earned counter with Fitzgerald the marks. man.

But as the Edinburgh Scotsman Doints out: "If that is the ob. ioction. it looks a bit late in the d3? to bring it to the front after more than one Eirean player m; in fact represented Britain in these matches. John Burke did so in 1932 and both Bruen and the bis 511st» seller. Cecil Ewing, were in the 1938 victory team, and the latter in one that went over to Pine Valley earlier.

O O O O

“At the moment the quorum. appears to have been raised here at home. and some may relate it to the still lingering feeling against Eire as a result of her neutrality in the war. I know that a number of well-known English professionals absented themselves from the Irish Open Championship on this account. and opinion in certain English and Welsh Union circles was so pronounced that a proposal to revive the amateur international matches was nullified. The po- sition. however. in the interval has obviously changed as regards amateur golf, for the four-coun- tries’ meeting organized by the National Unions is definitely in the program for this year.

O O O O

“The fact that the Golfing Un- ion of Ireland covers both North and South is a factor that oomip~ licates the matter from the polit- icai angle. for that body sends three representatives to the Joint Advisory Council of the British Unions. which in one way. at any rate. gives Irish golfers a British status. Walker Cup team selec- tion is thc responsibility of the R. and A.. but they will probably take the Unions’ line in tho mat- ter of nationality."
