Davey Kerr, former National Hockey League All-Star goalie and Veslna Trophy winner with the Stanley Cup champion New York Rangers oi 1030-40. worked out with Toronto Leafs at Maple Leaf Gardens recently.‘

Within a couple oi hours rumors were rolling the sports rialto faster than a tip on the hottest mining stock movement. | e o o Kerr had been pate in the workout as possible "playoff insurance" for the Stanley Cup games just around the corner.

"f have no intention of removing Prank McCool from the nets," Day said. "Frank's the next best goal- tender in the league to Durnan, according to figures. I'm satisfied with his performance. I think he's the top candidate for the Rookie of the Year award. But in playofl time we need a capable replace- ment for an eme ency. The lads we've had around his winter won't do. So we invited. Ker. to join us."

The Toronto-born Kerr. retired from the National League at the close of the 1040-41 season. Ife had been an outstandl goalie with the Stanley Cup N. . Rangers the previous season, Veains Trophy winner and All-Star‘ selection.

During the 1941-42 season Mont- real Canadians obtained permission fronl Lester Patrick to deal with Kerr, who had been placed on voluntarily retired list. Despite tempting offer, reported anywhere [mm 35, to $7,000 to finish out the year in place of Bert Gardiner, Kerr decided tp stay; in retirement.

Crystals Click To Defeat Bombers And Even Series

The Bummer " Crystals trounc- ed the Middleton bers 9-1 in Bedeque Rink on Monday night to even the South Shore Hockey Lea- gue finals. The Crystals were click- ing ln all departments oi the game while the Bombers, playing without several key men were badly off form and had few good scoring chances. Schurman and Gallant led the Summerside attack, while Muntart and Desnoches starred for M dleton. ,

he Crystals jumped into a 4-0 leac 1n a fast first period that was more evenly played than the score would indicate. Middleton had the first real scoring chance when Mut- tart and Des Roches combined beautifully but Mutter-fie shot was wild. Soon after, Oatway took a pass from Landry and beat Noonan

from close in.

Chick Gallant blasted two un- assisted tallles into the twines within about four minutes to put the Crystals three up and Schur- man completed the scoring for the period as he fired Davis’ pass into the upper right corner of the Bombers’ net.

The C stals picked up two more unassiste goals in the second per- iod while the luckless Bombers did everything but score. Frank Oat- way best Noonan on a rebound shot and Chick Gallant accomp- lished the hat_trick by knifing through the Bombers’ defence for his third goal. Middleton kept Schurman busy in the Summerside nets for the last part of the period but they were just not clicking a- round the net. . Desftoches broke the goose-egg for Middleton in merits of th passing play with Muttart. How- ever, their rally was short-lived as the Crystals came roaring back with three more tallies. Landry scored on a solo effort and the re- liable Schurman flashed somespec- tacular stick-handling for the last two goals,

Interest Revived In Search For Cil in This Province

The devoting of a paragraph in the Speech from the Throne at the opening of the Provincial Le- g yesterday to a reference to the drilling for oil and gas here has revived public interest in the project.

The paragraph said: “The search for oil and gas in Hillsborougil Bay has reached a depth of 11.868 feet. The plan is to drill to at least 14,500 feet and it will then be the deepest well in Canada. If the discovery well 1s a success exten- sive plarls for development of the Hlllsborough Bay area are already made."

Mr. Ivan Y. Reddln. spokesman for the company doing the drilling said that it was planned to resume work in mid-April. Actual drilling was discontinued just before the freeze-up last fall.

Questioned as to tllc prospects that oil would be located Mr. Red- dln said that the company was "satisfied enough to go ahead." They struck the formation they were looking for, he said. but wile- ther or not it contained oil could be ascertained only by drilling.

Mr. Reddln had been in New York for a time during the winter. Sunday he returned to Charlotte- town from Ottawa.

Discussing when the drill would reach 14,000 feet, Mr. Reddln said “probably August." No damage was caused by ice this winter at the tiny man-made island in the Bay. sheet steel piling driven down out- side the log cribwork after running ice threatened extensive damage a year ago had been 100 per cent effective.

No definite information ivas a- vailable concerning the develop- ment plans referred to in the Speech from the Throne. However. unofficially it was reported that if oil is found l4 wells will be drilled in the l-lillsborough Bay ares. and probably $12,000,000 spent on de- velopment work.

were waging a ‘ffe-roclous" battle with tremendous air support in un effort to break out of the Wester- wald Mountains and plunge on toward Berlin.

The Berlin radio declared the Americans had flung between five and six divisions across the Rhino, with armor and other equipment to match. Border reports reaching Switzerland reported Field Mar- shal von “ ndstedt again had been fired as supreme German com- mander in the west, and it perhaps was significant that the German nidlo began featuring Field Mar- shal Walther von Model in its broadcasts.

A field dispatch said German -forces holding the east barll: oi the Rhine from Duisburg northward to tllle Netherlands border were show- ing signs of extreme nervousness and that considerable enemy move- ment h-ad been observed in Hol- land, a possible regrouplng man- oeuvre to meet an expected attack by the British 2nd Army.
