Halifax At1an.tics In 5-3 Win Over Islan.ders

In League Opener

Dugger MacNeill, making his first start as a playing coach and returning to Charlottetown after an absence of half a dozen years. guided his Halifax Atiantics to a 5-3 win over the Clarlottetowli Is- landers in one of the opening games of the Maritime Major Hockey League at the Forum last night.

The Atlantics, playing with only 12 men came from behind in the third period to gain their victory. They trailed 2-1 going into the last frame, but raced into a 3-2 lead at the half-way mark and thereafter were never headed.

Hts Honor Lieutenant Governor T W. L. Prowse opened the season by facing-off the puck between Hula Beaudry and Billy Wrtson Prior to the opening of the game the fans and players malntnilierl one minutes silence in respect to the late Johnny Dutchak. Islanders de- fense star of the past two years.

The game was played under pro- test by the Islanders. Halifax netmlnder Roy MacMeekln, who attended New Westminster train-l ing camp was suspended by thati club several weeks ago and thenl signed with Halifax.

The Islanders protested his use before game time but Halifax claimed that the suspension had been lifted during the afternoon. Immediately after the game the Islanders forwarded a protest to the C.A.H.A. and expect a ruling today.

MacMeekin played a big part in the Halifax victory. The stocky. black-thatched goalie held the fort for the Atlantics in the first two periods as the Islanders con- trolled the play. He was called upon to nlake 24 saves against 17 for Don Campbell in the Island- ers net.

In the third period the tide changed as the Halifax forwards took advantage of every break. which came their way. At onei point. they led 4-2 but with less' than three minutes to go the Is- landers cut the margin to one R081. The Atlantics fired the in- surance goal into an empty net.

The game. which was played before approximately 2100 fans started at a fast clip. The pace slowed somewhat in the midie frame and also in the third. It was rough in spots but mild in comparison with the Halifax-Is- landers opener of 1 year ago.

The first shot. on net was fired by George McLagan of the Is- landers who drilled a. hard drive at MacMeekin from the blueline at the 50 second mark. The Islanders started with the Beaudry. Gor- don. Hagan line and Halifax countered with Watson, MacPhee and Ford.

McLagan had the first good scoring opportunity when Bob Gray sent. him into the clear as Dugger MacNe'i)l sat. out I minor penalty for holding.

Garey Gordon, Islanders new right. wiiigercpened the scoring at the 8.12 mark. Gordon stepped ollt of the penalty box as the puck skidded across the Halifax blue- llne into the Atlantics end. He raced into the corner with I de- fender, grabbed the puck and centered it out to Jim Mac- Kenzle.

MacKenzle fired a shot. that was blocked by in Halifax defense- man. Gordon picked up the re- bound and backhanded it past MacMeekin from 15. feet out.

Fleet-footed Billy Ford sliced through the Islanders defense and broke into the clear to score the equalizier at the 4.40 mark of the middle frame. Ford took a pass from Watson following I face-off just outside the Island- era blueline.

Less. than six minutes later Buck Whitlock put the Islanders ahead again. The Islanders were play- ing with A man advantage when Whitlock tipped Bob Gray's hard drive from inside the blueline. Garey Gordon drew an assist on the play.

The second period saw the only major penalty of the game when Crusher Kelly and Frank King tangled in t.he Halifax end. The Islanders enjoyed a wide edge in play during the 20 minutes.

Bob Bowness, who played ll standout game for Halifax. even- ed the score early in the final frame after taking Frank King's pass-out.

Then Billy Ford, R. thorn in the side of the Islanders for the past three seasons, put Halifax ahead by scoring on n screened

Bob Giay and Garey Gordon were the best of the Islanders. Lou Kiley turned in a good, steady game on defense while Campbell turned ill a good game.

For Halifax little Billy Watson played his usual standout game. Bill Ford. Bob Bowness and Frank King were also outstanding while Leplne and Bloom played well on the blueiine.

Woriigitllllg Year Exira To Be With Yankees

NEW YORK, Oct. 20 - (AP) - Great. to be a Yankee?

Sure, say the Yankees.

The club's press department got busy with the adding machines and figured out today that its worth s3,148 a year extra. to be a mem- ber of the world champion Bronx Bombers.

That's the average world series slice the Yankees have divided up since 1921. They've had 19 pen- nant winners in that time and 15 world championships. That part of the players' pool for the Yankees amounted to 33,265,698. Add the total for six second place teams, five third placers and one fourth place club and you get a grand total of S3,525,809.

Only once in the last 32 sejons have the New Yorkers finished out of the money. That was in 1925.

on a basis of 35-man split each year, the Yankees figured out that the average player share through those years amounted to the 83,148

That's better than twice as much as the next. best club, St. Louis Cardinals, have averaged through that span. The Cards made the World Series nine times and got in the money 26 times for an av- erage cxtra income of 31.465.

THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN

Gives Annual Rating Of Boxers In The Maritimes

Wilf Mc-Cioskey, of Charlotte- town, who annually rates the box- ers in the Marltimes has made the following rating of boxers in all divisions for the past year.

During the year there have been 36 professional fight cards and Arnold Fielger of Chatham, N. B., has appeared on if of them, thus earning the distinction of being the -Maritime's busiest fighter. This honor was held a year ago by Harry Poulton of Charlottetown.

Mccloskey lists Poulton as the Maritime welterweight champion with Kid Adshade of Glace Bay, N. S.. the logical contender. Eloi Durelle of Bale St. Anne, N. B. is listed fourth. Durelle defeated Poulton in an over-the-weight match a few weeks ago but Ad- shade and Spencer were rated higher than the New Brunswick man because they have been re- cent holders of the welterweight crown.

Two other foreigners, French- bred Worden II and Calvert, had been nominated for the rich mile and five iurlong event but owner Ralph Strass-burger declared them out today. Strossllurger. a Morris- town, Pa., publisher, has been liv- mg in France for years.

A fourth outsider John S. Kro- ese's Argentinue star, Again II, also was named for the race but. it is doubtful whether he will get there
