Yside Junior Team Holds Workout

I The junior hockey team at Summerslde turned out for their first work out on Tuesday night and showed plenty of 01w. as well as speed and checking ability. The work out was at the Crystal Rink and was carried out under the watchful eye of their man- ager, Mr. Harold Gaudet.

From their first practice it was quite evident to the spectators that Summerside could place a strong squad in the running for Maritime honors again this year.

Players from last year's team to turn out were Woods, Ellis. C. Hogan, Morrison, Deighan, Wedge. and Hickey. Earle Boates, their regular goalie, was not there on Tuesday but may be present at the next practice. in the uniform of his regiment. several new faces were to be seen, among them. Charlie Love from Borden. Don MacLean. E.’ Huestis, who will no doubt give a good account of themselves. Several other new players are seeking berths on the team.—S_

In winning the championship the W. R. Cruickshanks rink ran though four matches without a defeat. C. K. Wightmans rink fell first 15 to 4. L. B. MacMillarrs quartette went down and under 13-7; W. R. Jenkins fell by the Wflyflide by a spore of 13 to 9 while the last victim was Rankine McLalne's strong rink who bowed out of the picture 10-6.

K. wigmmm went down by the slimmest of margins 7-6 in the semi-final while in the final as George met brother Dr. Heath of Charlotte- town the Montague boys again proved to be the better as they won out in a. close struggle 10-7. This final provided one of the highlights of the days activities as on the last end Dr. McIntyres last shot Just missed the stone. Had the shot been good the match would have gone into an extra 6nd. 130th brothers are southpaws and this added a little something more to a really close match,

But this wasn't the only feature as in a momlng match A. Beicheris Charlottetown rink had to go to an extra end before finally winning over E. P. Foley's Summerside rink 15-11. Belcher was leading going in- to the final end but the visiting rink came in with enough counters to tie the score. The extra end proved disastrous however with the Beloher rink counting four stone t0 annex their victory.

In a quarter final match in the Championship division J.F.Mo1.eod was forced to make a perfect shot on the last stone before being a- worded a hairline decision 7 to 6.

NEW YORK. Jan. 10---(APi— Light heavyweight king Billy Conn dazzled the flstlc faithful and Hen- ry Cooper in pariicular with his left

‘ hand tonight as lie made his heavy- weight debut. in Madison Square Garden with an easy ifl-iouiid vic- tory over the young Brooklyn belter, Conn weighed 173 1-2; Cooper 190_

For the first five rounds, Billy, who is confident wngnts victory started him on the trail to a fight with Joe Louis and the heavyweight championship, fired hundreds pi lefts and all but a very small per- centage of them bounced off var-

anatomy.

In the late going. Pittsburgh's “Fighting Harp" tried out his right cross with similar success, but by this time these amounted only to experiments, for Billy was far ahead and only a knockout could have whipped him.

The decision was unanimous on the part of Referee Arthur Dono- van and Judges George Lecorn and Bill Healey. The Associated Pres! score card gave nine round-i t0 Conn and three to Cooper.
