It seems that Second Saints are doing just oN two victories over Prince of Wales and one over the ‘Y’ outfit. We're are not predicting that they will come +hrough with triumphs over Trotters and Sultans. Both these are big orders for those high school boys. However, we do look for them to make a big improvement in ‘their showing the next i them a few days earlier. “ | WE UNDERSTAND we are to have a juvenile league start action in the Charlottetown area this week. Teams involved | will be Prince of Wales College, Abegweits and Saint Dunstan S. | Each team is to meet the other clubs foug times, after which - g playoff will be arranged to name a Charlottetown champion fe meet the winner of Summerside, Kensington. ‘ This local juvenile league should produce some really good hockey, with every team given a god chance of getting home a winner. Saint Dunstan's boys have taken the measure of the other two clubs but those games were exhibition ones and don’t mean a great deal. Juveniles can take a bad lacing one day and bounce .right back and slap down the. opponent that upended them a few days earlier. We anticipate a really great series among these juveniles. There are loads of capable young hockeyists on every ‘club and all will have ample chance to show their stuff before a Char- lottetown champion is crowned.

Alltogether there are thirty one teams entered in Island play- offs. This, we are given to under- stand, is an all time high. Looks like hockey is having a banner season- on the Island.

Howard, who once played in the International League with Tor- ento Maple Leafs, climaxed his contract negotiations Sunday night at a brief session with club officials. The news was released Menday. SIZEABLE INCREASE Nobody ever announces actual contract figures. However, it was learned that Howard will get about $25,000, a sizeable increase from last season. Howard, 29, on Feb. 23, hit 314 during the regular season. He finished 11 points behind Ted Wil- liams. : The husky rightha hitter, who now lives in Teaneck, N.J., really got around last season.
