’ John 8-4; Big Four

ylalifax Crcscenis dropped buck into the Maritime Big Four Hoc-

,key League cellar-a position n-lth which they have more tan a nodding acquaintance-Satur-

day night when they were run over by Saint John Beavers, 8-4. before 4.158 witnesses. The New Brunswick club at the some time swept into a and-place tie with Truro Bearcats. Just two points off the leading Moncton

Hawks.

Making their first home stand in nine days after a disastrous week around the circuit. Cros- cents dropped four goals behind in the second period and though they got within striking range early in the third Beavers squelched the rally with two late tallied. Obviously somewhat fa- tigued after their long road jaunt, Halifax was unable to keep a rein on the flailing Beav- ers, who turned in one of their best performances this season.
