It was not known here lastnight. ivhetlier or not the Absgwcit mid- gets would have an opportunity to participate in Maritime competit- ion. The M. A. H. A. does not recognize Maritime champions in the midget bracket as it takes the stand that the midgets are too young to be travelling around the Moritlmes to play hockey. The matter of arranging Maritime playdowns is left up to the in- dlvidual teams. The local midgets are is smart hockey club and would doubtless do well for themselves if they were given the opportunity to meet the winner of the New Brunswick-Nova Scotia series. . . .

The "bad man" in the Maritime Major Hockey League this season was the Islanders Phil Vitale. Ac- cording to the official statistics Phil spent a total of 312 minutes in the penalty box, two minutes more than his previous season's markof 310. Phil also had another distinc- tion. lie picked up 38 assists, the most, by any defenseman in the league. Phil. hisrwife and young daughter will leave by train this morning for their Toronto home. 0 0 I

Runner up to Phil for the "bad man's" title was Sheldon Bloomer of the Glace Bay Miners. Bloomer spent a total of 136 minutes in the sin bin. Johnny Dutchak placed third with 177 minutes. Tops among the forwards was former llslander Johnny Morrow. The Hal- ifax winger had a total of 13'! min- utes in the penalty box. I O 0

There was nothing upsetting about the first game of the Saint John-Halifax series last night. As expected the Beavers won on their home ice. Although the Saint John team has to play the series without the services of Al Buchanan and Bill Mccracken they should be favored to win.

But there was an upset last night in Montreal when the Boston Bruins defeated the Cana- diens 1-0. The win should put the Bruins in the favored spot all they need only one more win to end the series and they play the next game on Boston ice. If they win. it should certainly boost the stock of Boston coach Lynn Pat- rick. It was this same Patrick who coached the New York Rang- ers two years ago when that team defeated the Canadians in the semi-finals and then went on to play seven games with the De- troit Red Wings before the lat- ier team-won the Stanley Cup in overtime.

l From Prince county

Freetown Royals of the South shore League have a tighter str- anglehold on the Simmons and M.acFarlane Trophy, emblematic of the south Shore League chamv- ionship. than the Toronto Maple Leafs have on the Stanley Cup. The Leafs give the mug up to an- other tcam occasionally, (this year. for example). but Freetown wins the S and M mug all the time. They've won it seven years in a row now

Mark Delaney, a Summer-side boy, was the hero of the lik'z2 vic- tory. Alter Cape Traverse had tied it up 2-all, Delaney scored the winning goal and snapped over a neat pass to Ray smith for the in- surance tallv. At the start of the series Mark went on a scoring rampage, but the Cane boys seem- ed to have solved the threat of his quick dashes goallvards, and he had been pretty well muzzled for two games in a row. Perhaps the stalwart Cape defence began to think that this Delaney wasnit such a much after all and grew a bit careless.

In our book. Wallace Muttart. Gordon Cutcliffe and Wendell MacFadyen comprise the best de- fence (outside Major hockey, of course) we have seen this year. This is not taking anything away from the Freetown rearguaixis who are plenty tough to beat too. Biff Read is not spectacular, but a cool and steady performer who stops most of the incoming freight com- in): his way. Albert Waugh. a hus- Sky boy who like Read never seems to lose his head, is nobody to play Riiig-around-Rosy with. Walter Campbell is strong and hard to go around.

MINOR HOCKEY TITLES

Sir.-with reference to Minor Hockey titles decided at the Forum Wednesday night, I find it hard to understand why the teams involved are assumed to represent schools.

When the boys were organized back in mid-December. Physical Fitness urged us to include as many boys as possible to take advantage of this Saturday night hockey. We followed this in- struction. We -also carefully di- vided the known better players so as to make the teams reasonably equal in strength. We were as- sured that before any play-offs we would be able to select repre- sentatlve school teams, but that meanwhile the main thought was to give the boys is chance to learn hockey and skating while follow- ing a schedule that would provide competition and equal opportun- ity for play.

From the time we aided in or- ganlzing these teams we have had no official connection with them. All coaching and encouragement has been given the boys by busi- ness men assigned each team by Physical Fitness. . To them goes all the credit.

So far as West Rent is corned. we do not agree we been defeated in any of minor hockey divisions. In we are sure that we have material to take at least two of the three championships had the original terms been followed.

Meanwhile it is our view that these teams might. just as fairly have been termed street teams, church teams: or what have you. They definitely were not repre- sentative school teams.

I am sure all are grateful to those who provided Saturday night hockey fix the boys, none more so than myself.

I am, Sir, etc.. C. F. HINE.

Only Provincial Midget Champs Are Recognized

The Maritime Amateur Hockey Association recognizes only pro- vincial champions in midget lioc- key, it was learned last night from Walter Lawlor, President of the M. A. H. A.

"The association does not rec- ognize Maritime champions in this class", Mr. Lawlor said. "as it was felt that the midgets were too young to be travelling from one province to another during the school year.

"But". he added. "if the indiv- idual teams wish to go ahead and compete with one anotha for the Maritime title the matter is strictly up to themselves to de- cide."

This is what has occurred in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia as the provincial champions in these two provinces have decided to play-off with one another for the Maritime title. The Abegweit midgets, who won the Island title, have a strong team but it is not believed that they will be enter- ed in any further playdowns.

can tell what that old colleize try

will accomplish. . .

The news that Benny Grady has been wounded in the right elbow by shell fragments may mean that a fine fielding third baseman is through as far as playing the great summer pastime is concerned. We know. of course. that the casualty might have been much more aer- ious. Without definite knowledge we can't be sure how badly Bennyls whip is injured. but certainly get- ting snarled up with shell frea- menta wouldn't do the flipper any good.

Benny could whip the ball from third to first with the very best hot corner guardians in these parts. He had a habit of holding the apple till the last possible mo- ment, aknost giving the fans heart failure, then zip-over the pill would go to beat the runner to first.
