the

King's intermed-

will be staged at Montague rink tonight and judging by the ni-ns goal mar- gin the local Iseglonalres picked up at the Forum Saturday night

Southern Kings All Stars will have sung their swan song alter tonight's battle‘. .

But the same time congratula- tions are due the Southern Kings teem. Playing their first year in organized hockey the squad, not lo be classed as a youthful teem by any means, put up a stirring battle in Saturday's ‘glme.

O O

Determined and playing their hearts out all the way the visiting All Sins-s, had they been able to cash in on the many scoring chan- ces they had would have made quite a difference in the score. They weren't outplayed as badly as the score would indicate and their showing, against the present Maritime champions drew down plenty of praise from the fans who watched the game. .

O

New that they have made a start it la to be expected they will continue in competition in coming years. It ls not so many years ago that a Montague team got into playdown tilts. At first they took licking: but sticking right to their guns it wasn't long before they became one of the most feared in- termediate clubs in Island circles and this could well be the case with this same band of pucksters

once they gain the experience earned in playing in organized leagues. .

O O

A striking display of bowling trophies is being shown In Haw- ley CrotketUs jewelery store on Kent Street and for p, certainty goes to show the interest that is being taken in the trund-iing game at the Charlottetown and Holy Name Clwb Bowling Alleys.

O O I

There are a total of 21 trophies on display including silver cups and silver bowling figures all mounted on ebcmy bases. 2i of thme for competition in the Com- mercial. City league, and Candle- pin tournaments at the Charlotte- town while the remaining ten are being fought for in leagues at the Holy Nlme Alleys.

O O

Altogether it Is one of the finest displays of bowling trophies seen by the writer in a long time and with the various leagues at both Alleys now drawing into their final stages competition is bound to be of the keenest for one or more of the beautiful pieces of silverware.

O I

Seeking to emulate the perform- ance of Moncton Hawks of another ens. the 1917 edition of the Hawks Saturday night took a big step for- ward when they downed Truro Bearcata 6-3 in the first game of the finals for the Maritime Big Four League title, a league whose winner is expected to go on to the Maritime title and a piuco in the Allan Cut: playdowns.

Deciaion of that august body known as the National B0xIng,As— rocletion of the United States to ignore the ban plastered on welter- weZ-ght champion, Ray Robinson and tough Rocky Grazlano by the New York Athletic Commission, not only goes to prove what a sorry state the fight game is in, but why it will always be nothing abort of a "racket" in" the US.--and Canada. too, for that matter-until such a time as a czar is appointed to rule

Former heavyweight champion. JaclqDempsey, hit the nail right on the head In Cleveland the other night. when he stated that as far Is he was concerned there was only one solution to eliminate the evils which arenicirrrently threaten- ing to choke e life out of the fight game. and that was to have the sport controlled on a notion- wlds basin and not be subject to the decisions of-state boxing con:- missions.
