In Rugged J

GLACB BAY. N.S.. Oct. 23 - (CF) - Moncton Hawks gained the edge in the third period tonight to down Glace Bay Miners 4-2 in a Maritime Major Hockey League

game. The teams split goals in the first and second periods - for a total

of two each going into the third and then Moncton smashed home two unanswered markers in a. hectic final frame.

There were two major penalties and one match misconduct sent- ence - which involves an auto- matic fine - in the final period that saw fists fly and sticks rise high. Moncton's Hamilton collect- ed the misconduct.

Don Lochart played in the l-faults net. replacing Jackie Gib- son. who has bcen released. and handled 25 shots. compared to 2-1 by Bob Arncil in the Glace Bay (V1218.

Danny Horeck opened the game's scoring with a tally for Moiicton when the game was less than four minutes old. John Bailey replied for Miners to even matters. Going irio the second Don Haley con- itcctcd just past the five-minute

Rickey Defends farm System in Baseball

By Arthur Edson WAS-lllIx'G'I'ON, Oct. 23 -IAP) .-Branch Rickey, general manager

c-f Pittsburgh Pirates, told con- gress today the farm system he helped create is the saviour of baseball.

Only the fact that major clubs poured money into the minors during the depression kept base- ball alive, Rickey told a House of Representatives judiciary sub committee.

"I'll make the sweeping state- ment that the farm system is the saviour of baseball." Rickey said with fatherly pride, ”and without it it is problematical that we could

have minor league baseball at all."

The sub-committee is studying whether baschail violates anti-l

strusi. laws-as has been claimed

in several suits brought against. baseball. Rickey said these suits threat-

en baseball's life. and he called on

congress for help. "Baseball does not wish

continuously threatened

to be by suits

from whatever source," he said. "disg'i'u.nted players or great players, good lawyers or other- Wise.”

He noted that the legality of; the reserve clause" has been questioned in court, This is the clause which. in effect. binds a player to stay with the club

which. first signs him until it de- cides to trade or release him.

Rickey maintained that the re- serve clause is lcgal. but that if it isn't leaal. then it is a "harm- less illegality."

Rickey, ill making his pitch for mngressional help in keeping the reserve clause. left no doubt that he thinks in all other respects congress should keep its hands off the game. '

He said most of the disagree- ments are over rules, proceedures

or policies and that, "in my judgment, (these) properly belong for action and solution within

baseball itself."

Judge Hudson Announces Fine On Phil Viiale

HALIFAX. Oct. 23 (CF) - Jutlge .1. Elliott Hudson. presi- dent of the Maritime Major Hoc- key League announced tonight he has fined Phil Vitale. Charlotte- town lslzinders defenceman. 535. It was the first such levy in the new circuit.

Hudson said in a statement:

"Vitale was given a miscon- duct penalty nnd then a match misconduct penalty in the Oct. 17 game between Charlottetown and Sydney at Sydney. The referees' report signed by Hugh McLean and Larry I-leffering reads as fol- lows:

"Vitale-was given a -rninor penalty about the 4:38 mark in the third period. He strongly dis- puted this and was given a mis- conduct penalty. When he went to the penalty bench he kept yelling insulting remarks from the bench. was warned to stop this, but kept it up and I had no alternative but to remove him from the gi1me.'

"This season a minimum fine of 510.00 will be imposed automati- cally on all players who receive misconduct penalties, a minimum one of 525.00 on all who receive match misconducts and a mini- mum one of S3500 on all who receive both. so in the future no announcements of fines will be made unless they are for higher amounts than those mentioned above. Suspensions will of course. he announced.

"This season there is a league ruling that the club on which the fined player is a member must remit the fine to the lea- gue and deduct it from the play- cr's salary. If it is not received within seven days of notification. the player concerned will be sus-

"Peanuts" O'Flaherty of the Beavers were men of widely dif- ferent outlooks and beliefs fol- lowing last night's game. The differences stemmed from their statements that neither mach had much respect for the other's team while both men had a criticism of the referees although O'Flah- ertyis was in quite a mild man- ner while Lamoureux' was not quite so mild. O'Flaherty stated that referees were too quick with the whistle on a play in which the Beavers scored while Lamour- eux claimed the refs were too quick on the penalties all night. I O C

"We played like we were out there to-night-tired". stated 0'- Flaherty as he shoved back his hat and sat on the end of the bench. "The boys had a game last night with Halifax and were on the bus all day so you could not expect too much from them". he continued. "Even then they could ouiskatc the Islanders. Why after the Islanders are on a road trip and land in Saint John we will be able to beat them by eight goals any time", he stated. ”The Islanders boat themselves by getting penalties. Here, they have lost five games and they lost them all the same way."

"The trouble with the Island- ers is that they have no effective goal s'corers." he kept talking.

but they can not put the puck in the net. When that Ubriaco gets going be will be the best man in the league." "What. about Willie Marshall?" some one asked. "Mar- shall could not make our team". he replied off-handedly. "You tried hard enough to get. him." some one said. "Sure. he played with us last year and we wanted to give him a chance," said Pea- nuts. I C I

On the other side of the rink Islanders coach Leo Lav.noureux labelled the Beavers as a team of fancy dans and stated O'Flaherty could be thankful that he has so many guys who can fake penalties. "We'll finish in the first three clubs." predicted Leo. ”and when we have our team completed. we won't have to worry about Mr. 0Flaherty's club. I pick Sydney and Halifax to fin- ish ahcad of Saint John," he ad- ded. '

Leo had nothing but the warm- est. praise for the way the boys played their hearts out last night. "They all gave their best," he stated. "but the psnalties weak- ened us. It was not just the pen- alties we were serving at the time

the goals were scored, but the penalties all through the game. Fellows like Marshall. -Sellringcr

and Trainor were out there near- ly all the time along with the de- fense and the playing with a man disadvimtage was awfully hard on them."

. . . For two periods it looked as though the boys played more

than their best as they definitely looked to be masters of the alt- uation. They, along with the crowd. sensed that this was the night they were going to break the ice and in the dressing room they felt badly about the loss. "We've, been getting nothing but bad breaks but they are going to come our way pretty soon," stated Larry Travis as he jumped into the showers.

THE GIIARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN Beavers Come From

Behind To

The Saint John Beavers moved into sole possession of first place in the Maritime Major Hockey League last night on the strength of a four goal third period as they defeated the luckless Char- lottetown Islanders 4-2 at the Forum. Trailing 2-0 as the third period got underway the Beavers cap- italized on penalties and breaks to wrap up the game. Watson and Meldrum scored within a minute of one another as an Is- lander sat in the penalty box. Mulligan scored with the Beav- ers a man short and Johnny Ubrlaco fired the insurance mark- er with two Islanders in the box.

For two periods the Islanders looked like the swashbuckling Is- landers of a year ago as they played with the fire and dash that carried them to the top of the Big Four. Their passes were clicking and their defence was air tight as they kept the slick passing Beavers off balance. They built up their two goal lead in the second period as the result of goals by Don Bellringer and Marcel Clements and they held this lead until after the seven minute mark of the third session. Referees Charlie Good and I-Ieffering handed out a total of 23 penalties. including four five minute sentences and a miscon- duct. The Islanders received 15 penalties and the Beavers eight. Several of the referees decisions met with the disapproval of the fans who voiced their opinions in no uncertain manner.

The Forum was packed for the bruising match and they witness- ed one of the best played games

Islanders started on the attack as soon as the puck was dropped and Don Bellringer fired a sizzler at Hughes at the seven second mark. Seconds later Johnny Mor- row wzis in scoring position but could not get the puck away. Play was pretty even during the period with Hal Gordon handling seven shots and Hughes eight.

Don Beilringer was back again at the start of the second period and this time "The Dinger" made no mistake as he slipped one be- tween Phil Hughes' legs at the 1.04 mark. The score followed a face-off at the right of the net with Willie Marshall passing the Hughes view was screened as Bellringer shot it through a defenceman's legs.

Marcel Clements made it 2-0 about fifteen minutes later on a play with Whitlock and Smith. Neither player was given an as- sist .as the puck apparently boiin- ceci off II player's leg into the corner of the net.

Following this goal the Island- ers turned on the heat with the Whitlock - Clements - Smith line playing like fiends. The Beavers held the fort without any further damage being done.

The Islanders started the third session two men short. as the re- sult ol penalties to Marshall and Trnlnor. They kept. the Beavers at bay but at the 6.50 mark "Hub" Benudry drew a two min-

uie sentence. Before he returned to the let- Ken Watson put the Beavers

hack in the running as he scored in 15 foot shot from the side of the net. A little over a minute later Meldrum tied it up on a beautiful three way passing nt- tack with Watson and Arundel

getting into the showers and if he were the boys might have been on the other end of the score.

Little Johnny Ubriaco ended matters for the night with an unassisted goal. He picked up the puck outside his own blueline with only Larry Travis between him and the net.

Beavers scored once in the second period but the re- ferees disallowed it as the whistle was blown on the play. The re- ferees did not allow any rough stuff to get started in the corn- ers as they blew the whistle as soon as two players collided.

Beavers had accurate passing plays and seemed to have their power plays down to perfection. They had trouble with the Is- landers defence and could not go around them. Once they got the puck inside they could pass it around. Willie Marshall got his first penalty of the season and not many could see that it was earned. "Buck" Whitlock almost tied the giime up with a smart play in the third but the puck just missed. The same could be

liurocher Voled Manager of Year

NEW YORK. Oct. 23 -(A.P)- Leo Durocher today was voted baseball's "manager of the year." The colorful field leader won the award for leading New York Giants to their first 'pennant since 1937 in the most sensational race in National League history.

The Giants, last. in May and 101,-; games behind Brooklyn Dodgers on Aug. iii. climaxed an amazing surge to the top by de- feating the Dodgers 5-4 in the final 'of a three-game-post season playoff on Bobby Thomson's three run homer in the last of the ninth inning. '

Durocher gained the honor in an Associated Press poll con- ducted among 187 members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. He bagged 113 votes to almost double the 64 total rung up by runner-up Casey Stengel of the world champion New York Yankees. Stengel won the award in 1950.

Durocher. forsaking baseball for golf at the I-Illlcrest Country Club in West Los Angeles, accept- ed the award with delight. "That's great news," he beamed. "It makes me very, very happy."

Every Member Of Red Sox On Trading Eock

By BILL KING - BOSTON. Oct. 23 - (&) - Every member of Boston's disap- pointing Red Sox, Ted Williams included. was threatened with the trading block today when Lou Boudreau signed a two-year con. tract as the club's bench manager. "We need an established catch- er nnd a good double play combin- ation and we'll trade anybody to get. them." Boudreaii said after being introduced as Steve O'Neill's man ial success by general manager Joe Cronin.

Cronin said that O'Neill. whose club wilted in the recent American League homestretch drive and wound up third. would be assign- ed to the Red Sox farm system. "Do you rate Williams as ex- pendable?" was the first question fired at. Boudrenii.

"Yes." Buudreau answered. "Ev- erybody, including Ted. will be traded to give us the strength we need. Our first problem is catch- ing. e need an established back- stop. hen we must get a strong double play combination."

Boudreau, however. rem-' ' d that Williams bore a very high price tag. '
