,HALnrAx, N. 5.. Feb. 24._ “mm- hockeydonrs over-sim- mem war-pct. yesterday heated w the right pitch by startling ‘mm; from the pen of D. Leo Donn, of Fredericton, one of the b”; known sport writers in the “mum”, and published in Mo- um-n magazine, threatens to bubble over and scald the pick of Eastern Canada's "simon pares" with the taint of professionalism.

' Starts Probe

~ A; n result of sensational chor- m made by Mr. Dolan, the at- untion of the entire Canadian

rt world was focused on the‘

MgfltIXIIGS last night, while follow- ," ofrthe ateur hockey game and officials of the various clubs in my, section of the Dominion were in the midst of what promises to be one of the liveliest discussions in many a day. Only one or two pro- fcssed to have seen any traces of possible professionalism. and there was one lint denial. That was from CflmpbClllUII, where all the play- er: are home brews. '

poians charges are that many oo-cailcd amateur players are really professionals; that there are eleven players in the Maritime Provinces wony who are receiving weekly salaries of $75 for their services, while others arc getting from $30 to s65.

Totals $100,000

Further, he declares that more money than sport followers in this part of Canada believed was avail- ibls for hockey is being spent by iiaritime hockey moguls to pro- iiuce a champiomhip team that will win the Allan Cup. Dolan frankly expresses that in his opin- ion 5100.000 will not cover the op- erating expenses of the big six teams. Moncton. Fredericton, Char- lottetown, Dalhousie, Truro and Halifax.

That Dolan may be given an op- portunity to prove his statements was indicated by Charles Gilles- pie, Moncton, President of Maritime Amateur hockey Associa- tion, iu o. telegram to The Halifax

1 Herald.

All lendng sport offcials in the Maritimcs were asked for their opinions on the matter by telegram but with the exception oi the M. P. B. head, F. T. Prideham, Pres- ident of the Northern Senior I.ea- gue; James E. Wry, President of the Central League; Avard Mann, Manager of the Truro Bearcats, and the Secretary of the Campbell-

'ton Hockey Club, were reticent

with their replies. The.reply of HRH? Butler, Manager oi the Hal- ifax Wolverines, was that "it was news to him."

Near Truth

The most significant statement was made by Mr. Pridcham, who declared that he believed Mr. Dol- an‘s statements to be very near iii“ truth.

N0 "Ply was had from H. O. Efllrlcr, President of the Maritime Amateur Hockey Association, Bath- urst, and it was reported that he was not at home. J. F. McManus,

‘Hfllliox. Nova Scotla. Vice-Presid-

ent of the Association, declared ha 111d no official knowledge of pro- 395510111115 masquerading as amat- surs. "All the players," he said, have their amateur cards." . Jlldsiii! by the response, however

it was clearly evidenced that the Fredericton writer would be given ample opportunity to prove his statements, should he care to do so.

Make Denial The only actual denial of the charges laid against Maritime

teams was made by the Campbell- ton Club of the Northern League. The Secretary of the Club emphat- cally vouches for the Campbellton blayers as "simon puree."

C. C. Gillespie, Monoton, Preli- dent M. P. B. A. A. U. of CQ-"As I have not read the article refer- red to, my only comment is that I presume Dolsn can substantiate charges by sworn affidavit and he will be given this opportunity.

James B. Wry, Amherst, Presl- dent Central League, M, A, H, A,_ “I would suggest that the proper place for Mr. Dolan or anyone else to air any charges against amateur hockey in the Maritime Provinces, would be at the annual meeting of the M. A. H. A. which is held di- rectly after the final game of the Maritime championship."

Secretary, the Campbeliton Hoc- key Club— "Dolan's article in- cludes Campbellton only by refer- ence. Citizens here are up in arms. Every player on our team is an amateur through and/through and not one of them received pay for his hockey ability. Members of the Cnmpbellton team are all local boys who learned their hockey here and play for the love oi the flame and honor of the town. If Dolan's charges re the other teams in the Big Six are correct then Campbellton is the only rightful Allan Cup contender. As for abil- ity the semi-finals score, two to one in favor of Dalhousle, proves our class. We were beaten on breaks, but are accepting defeat without whimpering and banking on next season to show the sport- ing world we are real amateur con- tenders for the honors. Campbell-

ton players are simon pure and we 0

can prove it."

F. T. Prideham, President oi‘ the Northern League, M. A. H. A. — “While I have not yet read the article by Mr. Dolan, I have heard it discussed tonight and knowing Dolan as I do and being closely in touch with the amateur hockey situation, I believe these state- ments to be very near the truth."

Harry Butler, Manager of the Halifax Wolverines —"It's all news to me. Further than that I have nothing to say-that is at least un- til I have read Mr. Dolan's article fully."

Aid. J. H. Conn, President of the Wolverine Hockey Club -— “I was very much interested to read some of what D. Leo Dolan has to sav about amateur hockey conditions. His suggestion that professional hockey be revived in the Maritimcs is worth looking into. However, there is some question as to whe- ther the fans would be as satisfied with the professional game."

Avard Mann, Manage of the Truro Bcarcats- "Let Mr. Dolan make his accusations in writing and addressed to the proper auth- orities and I have no hesitation in believing they will deal with it as they see fit."

Dr. J. P. lilcGrnth, President of the Kentville Hockey Club— "I have no direct information regard-

MONCTON,, N. 3., Feb. 24.- Moncton Hawks were on even terms with Dalhousle Rangers in the fight for the championship of the Senior Northern Hockey League, as a. re- sult oi defeating the Rangers 3 to l tonight in the second match oi the best-two-out-oi-thrcc series. The deciding game will be played on neu- tral ice Friday night, unless hockey ofllcluis meeting here tomorrow up- hold a protest made by Fredericton Capitals, who were eliminated by one goal last week. The protest hinges on a. disallowed tally. In the event the protest is sustained, the two Moncton-Dalhousie games will be thrown out, unless Moncton should win a game they might be ordered to replay wlfil Fredericton.

Tonight's match wLs a different affair than that played on Monday, when Dslhousie triumphed by a 10 to 1 score. Deprived of two out- standing players in the first game, Moncton had its regular line-up for the second match.

One overtime period was neces- sary. At the end of the third period the score was one-all, and the Hawks shot two more in the over- time session.

THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN

with the thermometer hovering around the zero mark, and facing a raw northwesterly wind, the ice races drew only a slim attendance oi spectators yesterday afternoon on the harbor ice. All officials of the Victoria Driving Club and the more enthusiastic of the horsemen showed up to take part. Thecourse was in wonderful order, perhaps one of the best ever raoed over here. This was made possible through the work oi the offici- als and those who very kindly ss- slsted.

Yesterday morning, u. new Wlllys truck, operated by Rankine Mc- Lean, and towing a road machine, put the finishing touches on the lob. Owing to the extreme cold several oi the horses slated for the free-for-all, did not show up, so the entries in the Class A. Trot and Pace very sportingly allowed Volo Rico to start with them. The first heat was very close throughout, Briar Mac winning by a. half head from Volo Rico with Johnny Walk- er o. close third and Lealock fourth.

The next two heats were von by Volo Rico, by narrow margins from Johnny Walker, with Briar Mac third and Lealock fourth.

The time made in the first and third heats, was 30 seconds thc fastest so far this season.

Class B. Trot and Pace

This was one of the best of the season's races, the" finishes be- tween the first, second and third horses being extremely close and exciting, with all the drivers work- ing for dear life to win.

The first heat, La Rico, under o. vigorous drive, nosed out Ruth S. at the wire, with Mr. Henley, a very close third and Poinset fourth. The second heat was a real classy finish, Mr. Henley showing the speed for which he is famous, fin- ishing with a terrific brush to beat La Rico, Ruth S. a close third, Polnset fourth. 3rd. heat, Ruth S. turned the tables on the two pac- crs, trotting beautifully through- out, finishing a neck to the good, La. Rico second, Poinsct beating out Mr. Henley for 3rd place. The three heat winners were called up- on to race a fourth heat. This re- sulted in a dead heat between La Rico and Ruth S., Mr. Henley be-
