It may have been that the Is- landers were tired or had off inights on those occasions. Or may- be the Atlantics go unusually not for the contests. After looking fit. the clubs for a season we would say that the Atlantics have more offensive punch but the Islanders will have a weight advantage al- though not as great as that which they enjoyed over the Miners. In the long run this weight collld swing the series in the Islanders favor.

4-3 To Settle

HALIFAX, (GP)-Charlottetown Islanders won their semi-final series with GlaceiBay Miners with no strings attached Satur- day night by edging the Miners 4-3 in a wide-open some that finally put the Muluxhh Major Hockey League on an even keel. Charlottetown meets Halifax Atlantlcs in the first game of the finals here Monday night, with the second here on Wed- nesday. '

Reasonably Happy

The victory ended the squabble which threatened to split the MMI-IL from the Maritime Ania- teur Hockey Association, and left

. both sides reasonably happy. The

Islanders earlier won a best-of- nlne series with Glace Bay but the Miners protested that for- ward Erwin Grosse was in- eligible. B After the Canadian Hockey Association ruled out Groose and then reversed de- ' l a couple of times. sending the leazue and MAHA into a fur- "10". the CA1-IA appointed Hanson of Middleton, N. S.. to arbitrate the dispute.
