It seems passing strange that the "oncton Lockey management, police and law enforcement au- thorities should treat the Island- ers hockey team In such a cal- lous manner. They cceeded in arranging games to their tactical and financial advantage. they beat the Islanders (apparently fairly enough) and evidently that didn't satisfy them. Some of the tin- horn Moncton fans assaulted them as they were leaving the ice- with apparently no objection by Moncton police. at least there was nothing in the news about the perpetrators of the assault being arrested. When some of the II- landers team attempted to re- tallate they were arrested and fined quite heavily. Truly. there appears to be very little grati- tude or spirit of sport among cer- tain elements of the sport fra- ternity of Moncton.

It will be hard to get an Island team together for next year who will want to play before Moncton hockey fans. The news of the treatment of the Islanders will be broadcast over Canada. The time might be propitious to call home our good players from ab- road. form an Island league and pick an all-star team to try for the Martime championship next season. It is quite , sslble that such I move would stimulate greater interest and bring the na tional game back to its pristine vigor and glory in this Island.

It is I sad commentary on our great national winter sport that such an outstanding champion player as Maurice Richard should

radio and television.

Unlicralded and on his own re- sponsibility. the Montreal hockey idol went to Selke's office In -the Forum to make knownghis wish.

The CBC scheduled his talk at 1 p. in. EST over the Trans-Can ada Radio network and on its Eastern TV hookup.

Sclke said Richard feels. he should take the punishment given him and will ask the fans to get behind the club and encourage it to victory in the league l'llBmPl0"' ship race and the Stanley CUB playoffs.

TRAIL OF DAMAGE

From the Forum. where (Tami!- bell was pelted with missiles and punched and a tear gas bomb was set off. the trail of damage ylcd 15 blocks eastward along St. g(.ather- ine street. Montreal's main thor- oughfare.

The march of the mob. after more than three hours of standing their ground and hurling missiles at the Forum building. took. on a new hysteria in the smashing of windows of small stores. looting. heating up innocent persons. Sel- ling fire to newsstand kiosks and overturning automobiles. . t

Damage estimates varied but detective-captain Cecil Rowe. in charge of the police departments (western divi.'on-in which the F0- .l'Ul'l'l and damaged area is located-

The exact number of others ar- rested was not known but it is be- lieved at least two score were juveniles. y

Those charged Friday ranged in age from 18 to 34. Most of them were in their 205.

One city councillor. Adeodat Crompt, said Friday he would seek a warrant for Campbell's ar- rest for ”provoking" the demon- stration and would also seek I warrant ”if he ever sets his foot in the Forum again."

Pierre DesMarais. chairman of the cityls executive c Wee. said the pro-Richard resentment against C am p b ell "was too strongly expressed" but that police handled the situation well. and there was no need for an inves- tigation by the city.

Groups of curious persons gath- ered about the Forum throughout Friday to see the mob-wrought damage. Several police were on hand but there wasn't the slightest indication of disorder. SPIRITLESS AFFAIR

The Canadiens hockey team worked out on the Forum ice Fri- day but it was a rather spiritless affair.

Coach Dick Irvin said the play- ers obviously were still upset over the wild demonstrations of Thurs- day night.

The forfeited game broken.up after the first period. put Detroit ahead of Canadiens by two points. If Canadiens win tonight against New York Rangers. they need only a tie in Detroit Sunday night to close out the regular season in top place.

If (lanadiensloses to New York. they must win over Detroit to take the title.

Ted Williams Too Busy To Return To Ball

Selke declined to estimateAdam- age to the Forum. indicating it was too early to assess it properly.

Mayor I)rapeau's statement said it was evident that Campbell's decision in the Richard case-sus-

ipenslon for the rest of the hockey iscason - was "extremely unpop- iilaix"
