On the Backville team the outstand- ing player mightbe said to be L. Legere who worked hard all night and suc- seeded in breaking the goose egg for his team on a solo rush beating the pbegwsit defence and placing the pluck behind the local goalie. Wry in the nets was also outstanding, mak- ing many remarkable saves. For the

THE SPEED SKATING

The speed skating exhibition be- tween Willie Logan of St. John, N.B., and Chester Coles, of Sackvllle, NB, was sure a treat to the fans. Both boys showed remarkable form and skating ability and the man who beats either of them, certainly has to tra- vel. . ., »

The quarter mile race was the ﬁrst called. Logan jumped into the lead and continued so till the second lap, when Coles on rounding a corner fell; Logan showing real sportsman- ship stopped skating and both boys decided to start over. 0n the second start Coles Jumped into the lead and maintained it to the end, winning in the fast time of 40 2-5 seconds.

In the half mile event Logan took the lead, but on rounding the last turn stumbled, causing Coles to be thrown off his stride. Both ﬁnished together in a dead heat. - The mile was the best race of the evening, Logan going into the lead at the start. being passed by Coles about the halfway mark, and on the second last lap again takes the lead winning from his opponent by about two feet in the fast time of 3 minutes ﬁat.

feated the C. Y. M. L. of Summer- side by a score of 3-2, bringing the‘ total in the playoffs to 7-5 in their favor.

There were about 400 fans PM‘ ent, no less than 250 of whom were enthusiastic supporters coming by special train from Kensington. The gamg was played on excellent ice and Kensingtori had slightly the edse on the play. Al Murphy was doubteilli’ the outstanding player in the 81ml“, well supported by Bernard, while Arsenault showed up to advanteﬂﬁ for the C. Y. M. L.

At Arena Tonight, Ab-

Sudden Death Game. Senior Vics and Sack, ville. ,

There will be a twin bill at the

Arena- this evening when the Sackville team meets the Senior Vics and the Intermediate Abbies play the 2nd Vics in a sudden death game for the City League championship. The Senior Vics in their workouts appear to have at last hit a, winning stride and look for a victory. Their supporters are expecting the season long record of defeats to be broken. The Intermediate game should be equally interesting, with the cham- pionship in the balance. There is not a gnat's whisker between these two fast teams, and the team that gets the breaks will grab the decis- ion. As a. matter of fact, the second game could easily be staged as a feature game. With two interesting games orl the double bill the fans can expect a. real evening of hockey. , - Senior Vics lineup will be: Goal, Morgan; Defence, McDonald. Williams, Diamond; Forwards, Ni- chclson, McEachern, Cronin, Cox, Doiron, Gillis.

He could fol- low the motors in the Summertime, win match races and then go inside and rule the six-day-roost. Bobby, sr., is still riding in the South and for thirty years he has been known as the "Dixie Flyer," with good cause, Old time bugs will recall the; he won the six-clay yawn at the old Ga:- den in New York in 1901, paired with McEachem, and two years later re- peated with Monroe as his riding mate.

As the curling game is rapidly salnlns In Popularity in this Prov- ince and the Maritimes in general, and as the space on the sporting Plies of our newspapers is asum- ing, yearly, larger proportions con- cerning this grand old "roarin' game" we might mention the great activity noted among the Montague curlers.

The game in Montague is now es- tsblished on a firm footing and to such an extent that it wu found necessary, owing to playing accom- modation, to limit the membership of the Club, for this season, but it 1s hoped that by another year sumcient ice space will be available to permit a much larger membership, _

since the rink opened this reason enthusiasm among the curlers has been at a high pitch. The first club competition was hotly contested, and was finally won by Mr. H. J. Mama's

This was followed by the President .vs. Vice President match.

Two or The Oldest And Most n; Successful Pilots In The

jor Leagues

NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 28.—Be- fore some of the 1929 major league managers had played their ﬁrst game of baseball two of the present-day pilots were handling the very ball clubs which they head today.

This ls one way of saying that this year Connie Mack starts his twenty- ninth season with the Athletics and John McGralv his twenty-seventh with the Giants.

At 67 Connie Mack begins another term with his Athletics, a club he directed even before the best days of Chief Bender, Eddie Plank, Eddie Collins, Frank‘ Baker, Rube Oldring and others of the great old Philadel- phia machlne that swept the baseball world in three of the four years be- tween 1910 and i913.

McGraw, Mack's Junior by 11 years, has been showing the Giants the way to pro-season headquarters ever since 1903. His career has bee neven more remarkable than that of the A's chieftain ,since the Little Napoleon has won ten pennants to Mack's six. Both have three world's champion- ships to their credit. '

Perhaps these old masters of the

Ma-I- 5'

game are notes spryas when r: ﬁrst assumed charge of their cl but they have the enthus = . ~- managers half their age. ' so before long now there will McGraw with his Giants at Ban tonic, his bulky form enclosed ' much yardage of flannels, calling l structions to his hopefuls and ta a bat occasionally to shoot a gro er or a fly out to a player under s l ial scrutiny. ' '

Over at Fort Myers, He... will A _ the digniﬁed Mack, dressed in m, , ; with the inevitable piece of , ~ gramme or newspaper in hand, ' wagging to this player or that as - i to play for certain types of batte '-

Connie Mack became manager the Athletics in 1901. His team pehants in 1902, 1905, 1910, 1911, and 1914 and world's champions in 1910, 1911 and 1913.

McGraw directed the Giants the ﬁrst time in 903. His teams '- tured ﬂags in 1904, 1905, 1911, 1 1913, 1917, 192i, 1922, 1923, and 1 together with world titles in 1 1921 and 1922. ' ~
