Now we ilnd that the Canadian pacer Bert Patch 2.07 took part in 35 races or dashes last season, running his total winnings up to $8,971.32. thus placing him in the 2.09 class. Bert Patch raced the hard way all the time. fighting for the count against the best free- for-allers in Ontario and uebec and making several forays in the USA. His score shows 16 ctor- ies, '7 seconds, 8 thirds. 2 fourths.

E imlnatlon on Thursday night at 3L John and Sydney of Juvenile Ctmadlens and Junior Royals ruin- ed any chances of a Maritime hoc- key title coming to the province ths season. But in each instance the battle put up by the 3 teams entered in Maritime playdowns was good to say the least.

In each case the teams in senior, junior and juvenile divisions were sadly lacking in the matter of stiff competition. The senior Abegwcits surprised all and sundry when they eliminated "Dud" James’ Moncion Marconi and then really made a good showing when pitted against the Saint John Beavers.

O O I

True they lost both games but had they been able to ice a full strength team could easily have forced the Beavers to much stiller compet-

ltion. I It was much the same in the cses of the Juveniles and Royals. Royals attempting ic chalk up their fourth Maritime crown in five years were faced with the lack of practice and competition, that is as a unit while the Juvenile Can- adiens picked after the close of the Juvenile league and without a game under their belts-also as a com- plete unit-didn't have much of a 1.181108 when forced to play their sudden-death game in Saint John

_Map|e Leafs Draw Tough Assignment

(By The Canadian Press)

The National Hockey League play- offs get underway sunda , with Toronto Maple Leafs draw g the toughest assignment—the task of beating the team they edged out in the playdowns lost year.

The Leafs take on Detroit Red

' Wings in one semi-final series, with

Canadlens tangling with Boston Bruins in the other. For the Leafs. it will be a task of overcoming the league's top team on the basis of the season's play, plus a team still smarting over what happened a year ago.

The two teams reached the finals together last year and Detroit ap- peared ln when they swept the first

e games of a best-of-seven series. The Leafs rallied w make N H.L. history by taking the last four games and the Stanley Cup.

All of which was not pleasing to Retroit and they haven't forgotten

The teams clash in Detriot Sun- day and Tuesday, then move to Toronto Thursday and Saturday. Further games if necessary are at Detroit March 28, Toronto March 10 and Detroit April 1. The Wings get the breaks in the matter of home games because they end- ed the season atop the league. with Iieafs third.
