Halifax St. Marys In 7-3 Win Over Moncton

HALIFAX. Feb. 13 - (GP) - rrailing Moncton Hawks 3-1 with six minutes of the third period one. Halifax St. Marys turned on he heat Saturday night to rifle six straight goals past us Colvin and whip Moncton Hawks 7-3 in I Mar- itime Major Hockey League game here. Up to that point, Saints had been ineffective against the hard working Hawks.

saints iced a makeshift lineup against Moncton. on the sidelines was 1-Iughle Campbell and after the first period, Wally Black was forced to retire with a recurrence of an old shoulder injury.

Saints uncovered a new string that was pivoted by Rocky Sullivan -with Cy Thomas and Bill Ford on the wings. He scored cnce and set up the plays for another pair, both tallied by Bill Ford. Tliomas snip- ed a pair and Billy Watson and Pat Powers netted singles.

For Moncton. Demchuk. and Denny each scored once.

Larry Dunville and Lorne smith played well on defence for the Hawks. Up front. Bandy Ayr. Lou Milan! and Mike Demchu-lr were the best for the visitors.

The teams split a brace in the first pericd and the ragged middle frame -was scoreless. Early in the third. the Hawks thrust swiftly for a pair of goals to go ahead 3-1. At this point, they had a big margin In play over the saints. Near the seven minute mark. the locals struck. They found the bigger and kept their finger on it until six goals had gone by Calvin.

SAINT JOHN. N. 3.. ileb. 18- (CP)-Nick Thlbodeau's Bathurst rink won the New. Brunswick

'- championship and the right to represent the Province in the Dominion championships at Halifax when it defeated R. '1'. McCully's Moncton foursome 18-8 in the final Saturday night.

Four straight victories for Hal- ifax Saint Mary's last week has

cut Islanders league leadership down to 13 points. the lowest it has been in a number of weeks. as the Maritime Major Hockey League schedule moves'i.nto the final two weeks of play. Holding a i1-point margin over the Hai- igonians at the start of last weeks play, two losses for the locals in four starts aided ilhe Saint Mary's crew coniderabiy in cutting the lead down by four points. . . .

Wiiih seven games left to play for Charlottetown and Moncton, while Halifax and Saint John have eight each. Island 3 are never- theless in the driver's seat as far as garnering the top spot in the league is concerned. The Leo Lamoureux coached squad need only two wins for the four points that will put them at an even 100. that is one point better than the best Saints can do if they win all of their eight remaining games in the schedule.

I

Despite the fact that the Island- ers sent a small 12-man crew on their two-game week-and tour to Moncton and Saint John, it ap- pears that the Beavers pucksters fwni t-he latter city had their work cut out for them to gamer a 6-4 verdict over the islanders there on Saturday night. After the ,iowly Moncton Hawks had wailoped the same l2-man roster iihe night previous by a liberal 8-2 count. most local fans were expecting the Beavers to "lay it on" the island- are.

I O I But the Saint John aggregation iced an even more meagre lineup of only ten men, and the game produced a hip and tuck battle all the way. Islanders held a 3-2

1 advantage at the end of the first

frsme', but Saint John picked up two goals in each of the second and iiiuird p ' '1 . while Islanders gannered one in the third. losing the verdict by two goals. Beavers scored a goal in each of the first and second frames while the is- landers were Shorthanded. while their two third period tallies came while ooaoh Larnouwux had pulled out goalie Frank Strain in an of- forrttotieulpiahescore on three different. occasions.

' O O O

Beavers coach Les Ramsay. who donned the blades with his team here on Wednesday to help out his short-handed squad, has been more than pulling his weight with the Saint John club in the three games he played this week. Les performed here well on Wednes- day when he potted one of his team's two goals. did even better at Halifax on Thursday when he collected two points on assists against Halifax. and completely kicked over the traces over his home rink on Saturday when he came up with the hat trick against Islanders to pace his team to victory. That ran his total to four goals and two assists for six points in three games. which is pretty smart going in any players books, let alone one who has been doing his work i'?om a coaches bench all, season. If Ramsay con- tinues to play with his club” for the balance of the season. he could be a big asset in Saint John's playoff hopes.

Musial Signs

sr. LOUIS. Feb. 18 - (AP) - St. Louis Cardinal's president, Fred Salgh. said Stan Musial sign- ed a one-year contract today for a salary which "probably is high- er than that paid any other play- er in either league."

Neither Saigh nor Musiai would say what the amount is.

While on a recem tour in Germ- any Stan ioid reporters he wanted 3100.000 for 1051 but in view of Saigh's statement he may have received more than that.

Saigh added that he doesnit know the exact amount given Boston's Ted Williams. Williams is, re- ported to have got 825,000 last year from the Red Sox and to have signed for the same figure this year.

Saigh said Musial definitely would get more than any other player has received in baseball's history at his age-30.

The Summerside Crystals un- der their new coach. Emmett

Tralnor, took the opening game.

in the semi-final round for the East Prince County Hockey Lea- sue Lampionship Saturday night at the Cryltai Rink by downing the R.C.A.F. Meteors 4-2 in a game that saw only two penalties both going to the Meteors. The winners of this best of three ser- ies will play Borden Nationals for the championship. . Trainer was elected coach after Reg Phillips was supended ear-

- lier in the season.

The gains was close throughout and the Summerside squad led 1-0 after the first period. held a 3-2 margin in the middle session and banged home the clincher in the final ttanza to sew up the hockey game at 4.38 when Geard Ber- nard plcked a left hand corner of the net on a beautiful angle shot.

Both goalies. Jordan and Auger. were impressive and the only goal of the first period came when Doucett hit the meshes in a mix- up in front of the net with Farm- er and C. Gallant garnering as- sists.

The Air Force crew tied it up in the second when Walters dent- ed the twlnes as Morley Thomp- son set him up at 7.55 but the Crystals took a two-goal lead as Chick Gallant scored on a typical "Chick Gallant" shot and Gordie MacKay's breakaway gave them a 3-1 lead. Naugior with Nolan assisting brought the count tp 3-2 and it was left for Gerard BR hard to add the insurance telly when the Air Force were press- ing to tie it up.

Some 300 fans were in atten- dance. Missing from the Air Force lineup were Brackett and Dunstan while Gordie Kelly was still out of the Crystal lineup with a hand injury.
