Almost crowd that ever saiv a Major League hockey game here, sat in on last
3000 fans. the biggest
contest between the Is- landers and Atlantics at. the Forum. That crowd topped last year's record breaker by about 150. Early last season when the Island- ers played the Moncton Hawks here on a Saturday night; close to 2850 fans were on hand. The Islanders won that game .l-0 with Bob Gray, as he was last night, being the Is- landers star.
night's
out
The Indian sign, which the Hall- gonians put on the Islanders last spring in the play-offs, apparently stilt holds on. Last night for the fifth time in the last five games the Atlantics defeated the Island- ers by B. one goal margin. There were several reasons for the Is- landers defeat with two of them being Joe Lei-"ine and Billy Goold. Another was the lack of hustle on the part of a number of the Island- ers in the last period and a half.
. . .
The game, although marred by considerable holding. produced a wealth of good hockey. The Is- landers gave it a great try in the first 30 minutes and the Alziniics. playing it wide open all the way although sliorthanded made the most. of their opportunities in the last half. Several of their goals resulted from smart plays while the others were of the easy var- iety.
Billy Goold. who comes in at about 160 pounds gave his best performance on Charlottetown ice. Billy, playing on a line with his coach Diigger McNeil and Kenny Laufman scored three goals and assisted on the fourth. McNeil, who usually plays defence. shows that he can be zi pretty good for- ward.

Wes "Buckc'l Ti-ainor. stickhand- ling wizard of the Islanders for the past. two seasons has made a terrific hit. with fans in Grand Falls. Neivfoundland, according to the sports pages of the Grand Falls Advertiser. The Grand Falls team, of which Trainer is the. playing coach, played a. two-game series with the Sydney Scots re- cently and won easily by the scores of 6-2 and 8-5. Trainor did not play too much according to the reports, but when he did, he put on a. show that lifted the Grand Falls fans out of their seats.
0 O 3
Wilt Maloney. Sports Editor of the Advertizei-, had this to say the day following i-he series with the Sydney team: "Most. popular sport; in town today is 'Bucko' Tralnor, colourful coach of our Grand Falls
team. During the Sydney games he saw little action but whenever he stepped on the toe it was 'Here comes Trainor', and his playing left little to be desired. Not; since Drlllon have we had a player like Tralnor. Byrne had it. upstairs but a back injury kept Joe from show- ing his best". . . Speaking of the first game Mal- oney wrote that "It. was the debut of our All-Star team and if. was a great one. Fans came away shout- ing the praises of coach Ti-alnor and the great play-making of Joe Byrne. The Tralnormen hit a sharp pace in each game outshoot- ing the Scots 31-21 on Friday night and 29-24 on Saturday. "Bucko" Trainor brought. out. a fast-skating aggressive team, schooled in his old familiar style to clash with the Scots in the first game on Fi'iday,night.. The locals gave a. very impressive dis- play ln the debut before the home
town fans."
The writer also speaks about the work of Rziy Marshall and Cliff Jackson. They are playing on ii. line with a. chap named Green and "held the attention of the fans during the first game." Jackson and Marshall each scored v. goal in the first encounter and Mar- shall acored once in the second game. Bucko picked up two goals during the series and his first goal was described as follows: ”Bucko Tralnoi-, who didn't see much act- ion, scored the prettiest goal of the game with less than two min- utes to go. He picked up the puck at. centre-ice and stickhandied through the Scots to score with a sizzling backhand"
. .
The Sydney Scots are n. team of senior calibre. This fall they play- ed several exhibition games with the powerful at. F. X. team iiiitl inmost occasions put. up 3 very
fans. They number among their ranks many former College and senior hockey players. Last week Tralnor was almost ready to join the Islanders when he could- not obtain proper living quarters in Newfoundland.

A short handed band of Halifax Atlantlcs. led by Billy Gooltl, Dugger McNeil and Jollinl Joe LePine came roaring from behind :1 three goal deficit in the third period last: night to defeat Murpli Chamberlain's Islanders 5-4 and take their tenth decision from the Islanders this season.
Little Billy Good. playing an a line with Kenny Laufnian and coach Dugger McNeil rifled home three goals, two of them in the final period as the Atlantics maintained their mastery over the Islanders.
The Islanders raced into fl 3-1 lead in a lively first period, maintained their two goal lead in the second period as each team scored a goal and appeared headed for almost certain victory before the sharper and more eager Atiziniics pulled the game out of the fire in the final ses- slon.
The Ilalilax upset. was watched
by almost 3,000 fans, the largest ever to watch a major league hockey game here. The win moves the Atlanlics four full games
ahead of the islanders.
Joe I.cPinc and Dugger MiieNeil fired single goals for the Atlan- tics to assist Goold in his task Bullet Bob Griiy, the best of the Islanders forwards, sgorcd two with singles going to Ronnie Iiursl; and Lyle Wiseman.
The lSlilll(.lPl'S started fast. in the first period and for a time it looked as though they were head- ing for another 10-1 victory. They controlled play in the rougii
hard-hitting session and outsliot the visitors 12-6.
In the last two periods, how- ever, they run out of steam us
the big Halifax defense, holding, hooking and using their weight to good advantage kept the is- landers forwards out of the dan- ger zones.
Billy Goold put on it one-man odensive show as he led his team from behind tlhe 4-1 lead which the Islanders enjoyed midway in the second period. He cut. the Islanders' lead by a goal in the
second session by scoring on a long shot. In addition to orlng twice more in the last. p od he
set. up Dugger McNeil for the tying
oal.
Murph Chamberlain used I-fub Beaudry, Marcel Clements and Bob Gray as his tlnrd attacking unit and they were easily the best line the Islanders had on tihe ice. They accounted for two goals and held their opponents scoreless while they were on duty.
Goalie Al Millar had his good and bad moments in the Islanders nets. Al had only 21 shots directed his way but many of those that beat him were tough or tricky shots.

Still not content Goo... combin- ed with Peanuts McLaughlin to fire the clincher. He skated across the front. of the Islanders net; and deflected home McLaughlin's shot.
The game was rough in spots and tempers flared on a couple of occasions. Referee Ross Morrow handed out only five penalties, four to the Islanders and one to Halifax.
Halifax played without the ser- vices of their star right. winger llughie Campbell. Also missing from the Haligonians lineup were forwards Frank King, Muckle Hollett and Doug MaoPhee. time Atlantics used only two forward lines.

Make Desperate Effort
Gray and Clements, tried desper- ately to get in the game during the last five minutes but tfhe Halifax team threw up an almost unbeat- able defense. For almost two minutes at one stretch the Island- ers kept. the puck inside the Hall-
shot on the net.
With only six seconds left in the game the Islanders forced a face- off in the Halifax end and Murph Chamberlain drew goalie Al Mil- lar in favor of another forward The Islanders got the draw but Joe Lspine blocked Bob Gray's slap shot: and broke up the play that might. have forced the con- test. into overtime.
Gray opened the scoring for the Islanders in the first. period by deflecting Beaudry's back hand shot from a scramble. Gray did the work for the goal centering the puck from the corner.
Joe Leplne tied it, up ; lime over four minutes later by beating Millar on a screened shot. along the ice.
Ronnie I-fiirsf counted on A high 1) foot. drive from the side and Lyle wisemim rifled a 30 foot bul- let. past Maolvleekiii to put the Islanders out in front 3-1 before the period ended. During the per- iocl the fans low a lot of heavy checking with orval flavell stand- ing out for the Islanders and Joe I..ePine for Halifax.
Gray's seco.-cl sperlod goal -was the prettiest of the night. Bob took back-to-back passes from Clements and Beaudry before drawing MacMeekin and running the count to 4-1.
The Islanders were a man Ihort when Billy Goold started to roll. Billy scored his first goal by beat- lng Millar on I 35-foot shot. The

The controversial question of the hunting seasons for 1953 has been
9. live issue during the summer and fall months but the pattern of the argument has fallen into a definite trend. It is now apparent that the vast. majority of hunters want 8. later opening date and that all four species of game birds ...geese, ducks, Hubs and pheas- ants open on the same date.. The three County Branch Associations have now voted on the question with the following results: Prince County wants the season on both migratory and upland game birds (geese, ducks, I-funs. pheasants) to open on October 15th. At least that was the final vote.
Early in the summer a meeting was held at Cavendish and the vote was to have the 1951 hunting seasons restored. In 1951 the sea- son opened on ducks, I-luns and pheasants on October Isl; and on geese on October lath. This past season (1952) October Isl; was the opening date on all four,
0 . .
There was considerable confusion connected with the vote at Caven- dish. Several prominent. goose and duck hunters told me afterward that they got. the resolution mixed up and thought they were voting for a later and universal opening date. I note that these same sportsmen attended the Game Meeting at Kensington and voted unanimously to have the season open on the fifteenth. Albertoii also voted for an October 15th and migratory. Queen's County voted to have the 1951 season brought back. This was not at. all surpris- ing as the meeting was held at Charlottetown and this city has long been known as the home of the Old Guard.
.
King's County Branch took ii more moderate stand and were also quite definite as to opcniiig and closing dates. The vote was October 10th as the opening date on all four. I-luns and pheasants ,to close on November 21st and geese and ducks on December 5th. Since the game meeting at Mont- ague last Friday week I have talked to a lot of Queen's County hunters and without an exception all expressed satisfaction with the seasons and dates as outlined by the King's County Branch.
