idhwlss Win. From Saint Jolsn 6-2. To Take League Title

IAIN!‘ JOHN. NJ. March I -' (Q) - Moncton Bmvks, last year's Maritime hockey champions, shat- tered the recent power drive of Saint John Beavers and won the Maritime Senior Hockey League crown tonight by soundly trounc- 1Il8 the Port city squad 6-2 and taking the League finals 4-2.

After losing the first three games in the best-of-seven series and then rallying to snatch the next two, Beavers muffed the chance to knot

the struggle. Poor defenshe work

against the Hawks’ tighter playing largely accounted for Saint John's elii-runai-lon from the Maritime pic- ture this season and from an Allan Ollp berth.

The determined Hawks shot a brace in each period and on the basis of the final scora had the 11ers beaten aIkr the five neiI- uts mark 0,1’ the second period.

Spike Larabie saved Saint John frcm a worse shellacking by scor- ing ilwice in the final canto. Poul Gagnon and Dick Bessette had two tallies each, with Mike Demchuk and Charlie Phillips accounting for the other Hawk goals.

After a scoreless five minutes in the closechecking first period. Gagnon, and Babe Gresko capital- ised on loose Beaver defence work and gave Moncton the opening filly, with Gresko on the assist end.

The only other score of the in- ltal session followed almost four minutes later when Phillips, o. newcomer to the Hawks’ lineup, took a pass from Frank Imontl and shot the rubber, which deflected into the net from another player's skate.

Three Regulars Absent

Tile use of Phillips meant that three injured Hawk regulars — Call Bastarache, George Bell and Gene Poirier — will remain absent from competition for the rest of the season. Permission to use Phillips was contingent on a medical state- merit declaring inability of‘ the trio to resmie play. The much-travel- led Phillips, a veteran puckster, aaw action in the Cape Breton hoc- key wars this season.

One of ths bwo mlnor- penalties in the first period was incurred by high-scoring Beaver Vic Jackson and was notable because it rep". dented his first of the entire sea- son to date.

Beavers outshot the visitors dur- ing the first stanza but, fumbled 100d scorin: chances.

The hocnesters continued their ragged brand of play in the sec- ond canto, when the surging Hawks Increased their lead to 4-0 vim-two 98W tools.

“ummerside Team Wins n

v

Still with his eys on the Dona- cllan middleweight boxing title de- spite the setback he received n few months ago at the hands of champion Len Wadsworth, "Ace" McCloskey, Maritime middleweight

champion is at presents going through a campaign in the United States, a campaign he hopes will put him in the best possible con- dition for another crack at the

tie which has eluded him so far.

e - a

Back a couple of years ago “Ace" was in the hands of Lem Moore, a former mittsllnger and a. man. who knows th-e game inside and out. Then apparently a "rift" sprang up between them that saw them part company for months but recent news indicates that McOloskey is again under Moore's guidance in the U. S., and already has chalked up a couple of wins in bouts in which he has particl- poled.

O O O

In his recent victory MoClos-key took a ill-round decision over Al Plnel, a New Bcdford. Mass, mid- dléwclglit. Although falling to stop .Pinei McCloskey had it all over his opponent and the ’ “ -was an unanimous one. McCloskeys best weapon is still a. lethal left hand to the body but in his last fight he was also using a. stiff right jab that continually kept his opponent off balance and went a long way in piling up points for the Island-born boxer.

O O O

According to Moore, McCloakey is not yet at his best, due no doubt to a long layoff. Mt the manager is confident that with a few more tune-up fights under his belt the “Ace" will begin bowling over opponents and he fully ex- pects him to climb to a. high niche in New England States boxing cir- cles.

O O O I

The above will be good news for the many McCloskey followers. Win or lose he has always given his best in any fights the writer watched him perform, and it would be, a big attraction if the youngster would again perform here when next sultnmerk boxing program swings into action. Mean- while his progress in the United States will be followed with inter- art.

O O O

With Island titles tucked away Midget Abbles and Juvenile Kins- men hockey squads now mark time awaiting declaration of win- ners in New Brunswick before they can embark on trails they hope will lead lo Maritime crowns. And if both squads can come through with performances such as they showed in the provincial tests

THE GUARDlAN. CHARIJOTTETOWN

SYDNEY. NS, March s — (CP) ———Sydney Millionaires advanced to the Maritime senior hockey finals tonight by defeating Stellarlon Royals 5-1 in the second game of a bestof-three playoff series. Sydney Won the first game 94 at Stellar- ton Saturday.

The best-offlve series for the Maritime championship will open at Moncton Friday. Monclon Hawks won the other semifinal bracket tonight by eliminating Saint John Beavers.

The game was delayed about three hours when Royals bus was delayed by a snowstorm.

Millionaires experienced no» great trouble with Royals and contented themselves with a smal. lead during most of the game They led l-0 at the end of the first period, 2-1 at the end of the second.

Bantam Playof Game Postponed

It was announced last evening that the title bantam hockey ill; which was slated for the roruni today at 3:00 pm. has been post- poned until a date later in the week in order to permit Junloi Abbies to hold a. workout in pre- paration for their approaching series tor the N. B.-P. E.I. Junie-- title.

they should offer the stoutest of opposmion to the sister province outfits.

aoa

In the case of the Midget Ab- bies we would say that this years Midgets are just about (he best- balanced squad to come out of this division in the last several years. They have size, welgnt and speeu evenly distributed tnrougnoutthen lineup and in addition carry that much needed requisite - scoring punch. Followers oi the squad have already labelled them as or. championship calibre and if they don't come through with the three-province crown they will certainly force their opponents to the limit.

O O O

The Kinsmen squad can also be depended upon to furnish strong representation. Their victory over Sum-rnerslde showed the spirit and aggressiveness contained in the squads ranks. ‘Th-ey are not the smoothest working Juvenile team over to be developed in the City, but what they lack in polish they make up for in sheer determin- ation. They lust won't acknowledge defeat; twice already, against Prince of Wales and then Sum- merside, they have came through when given little chance and it won't surprise their supporters any if the same spirit carries them for along the Maritime playoff trail.

U O O

Hockey fans will get a breather tonight when no games are sched- uled but Wednesday night it ne- glns all over again with the Saints and Navy clashing in the City League finals, a best out of five series that should add to the many hard-fought tussles that have been witnessed in the post couple of weeks. Players on both squads haven't been idle in the interval since the finals were clo- clded, performing ‘on teams in

should skate out for the opening test in the proverbial "pink of condition." O

The some night also marks the beginning of City League basket- ball playoffs. Navy will be pitted against the youthful Prince of Wales team in the first tilt of a two game total points series and like the hockey playoffs, hoop fans srebound to witness s nip and tuck encounter all the wsy. So close has been the battling in re- cent bssketbsll games first close followers ere hesitant to piok the ultimate winner and the "breaks" can go a long way in deciding the final outcome.

New Indoor llink At Srapaiid

On Feb. 17th. last a number o! citizens of Crapaud and the s12:- rounding districts met in Crapauu Hall to discuss the feasibility of erecting an indoor rink in the vi~ cinity.

After a thorough discussion it was unanimously decided to form a Joint stock company and present a petition to the Legislature at the present sitting for an, act so incorporate the Company.

A boord of directors was sp- pointed to proceed with the draw- lngup-of an sot of incorporation and by-laws for the company and were instructed by the meeting to see about a suitable location for the rink also about material suit- able for the project.

It was roposed to use steel or aluminum and the directors have since contacted several firms and have found out that either mar/er iai may be procured.

The building is w be modern in every respect end will be used for skating and hockey in winter and for recreational and other purposes d f, the summer-months.

It is the intention of the direc- tors o: have this rink in operation next season.

The Inland intermediate hockey title last night went back lo Sum- merside after an absence of sev oral years when "Windy" Steele's All Stars. P11 ‘ i a nasal-defensive brand of hockey and checkinz like leeches, t... __, t every period skated to s. convincing 8-5 victory over the local Abbles in the sec- ond gsrno of.tho total goal series ‘rho victory coming on (op of their 9-6 win in “ummersldo Saturday night gave them the round by a total score of i7-il and catapult- ed them into the Maritime playr downs. '

The Steele-coached crew deserve full credit for their victory. Elect- ing to play it safe they let the Abbies carry the play to them for the entire game. Continually they broke up rudses by close checking and broke sway on sorties of their own that in the long run paid off dividends.

In the first period they saw the Abbies take s. 2-1 lead to slnv- their three goal margin to two counters after they had counted the first goal of the night. Throughout the second they never gave the locals a chance to get started as they knotted the game count with a goal late in the ses- sion and then after withstanding a withering attack by the losers in the early part of the third session. during which they yielded but one goal, they came roaring badk to dominate the play. oiit- scoring the Abbles 0-3 during the session to chalk up their convin- clng and deserved win.

l

Gallant Gets Four

leading the Summer-side attack last night was fast skating Mooney Gallant, the rugged right winger potting four goals during the encounter with Emmett Train- or getting a couple and Bradshaw and Syl Bernard one apiece.

Johnny Higson shot two count- ers in the Abbies losing effort with the others going to Cart McDon aid. A. J. McAdam and Ted Strain.

Right from the outset it could be seen that Summersido was go- ing to play it close to the chest to protect their three go lead. In the first couple of min les Bobby‘ Schurman kicked out a couple of drives that appeared labelled as Steele rested in "sinners bin" lb a boarding penalty but they were at full strength when Mooney Gslldnt was sent into the clear on a pass from Syl Bernard and the winger made no mistake with a ten foot drive that sosoedl the turines.
