the second will be played at Charlottetown on Wednesday.

Beavers Out

Saint John Beavers, who stoned the season with the other three, are not in the new circuit. They would have to drop seven of their best mm to qualify. With their hopes of turning the M.H.L. into a commercial loop shattered, it is reported that Saint John promot- ers may pick up some of the in- eligible men from the other teams and form a league in the New Brunswick city, where senior hockey has been drawing great crowds.

Only last week Moncton, Saint John and Charlottetown were lined up in a commercial circuit but President James l‘. Wry of the M.A.H.A. warned them they would automatically suspend themselves in their first game. The game was postponed, and over the week end Manager Jack Conn of the Wol- verines influenced Hawks and Abegweits to stay in the amateur circuit.

Voices Pleasure

President. Wry, speaking- from Amherst, immediately expressed pleasure at the new turn of events. "I am pleased tc hear of the formation of the new league and I feel they have done the right thing," he said. "I wish them ev- ery success."

Uncertainty had been caused by the failure of Maritime Hockey League teams to secure transfers from the C.A.H.A. for a number of players. Flollowing definite re- fusal from President Gllroy, Mone- ton, Halifax, Saint John and Charlottetown formed the Mari- time Mercentile Hockey League. hoping to drop ineligible men later on and play a series for the Allan Cup playdowrls. Wlhen Moncton brought in three new players from Winnipeg and Saint John added another from the same western city. they were accused oi’ raiding, and the "Big Four" was given its choice between commercial hockey outside the C.A.H.A. and amateur play undertthe Associations regu- lotions.

By remaining under the CAI-LA. banner, Mcncton Hawks, Canadian champions, lose four men--Tony McLean, Albert Medinski and Duke Campbell, all of Winnipeg, and Charlie Marshall of Ottawa- but still have a strong line-up. Halifax Wolverines, who pre- vlously dropped their only inelig- ible man, Art Whittaker, are un- changed, while Charlottetown Ab- egweits take the heaviest bump of the lot, losing seven-Brenneman. Getliffe, Renaud, Smith, McCabe. Desilets and Jim Kelly. Abbles will fill out their ranks with promising juniors and intermediates and probably keep Brenneman, Clet- liffe and Desilets around for next season.

While league affairs were being settled over the week-end some re- sentment flared over the sugges- tion of Prsldent Aicide Oagnon of the Quebec AHA» for the Allan Cup finals from Halifax to Montreal.

"In my own opinion neither Pruidcnt S. A. Gilroy nor the C.A.H.A. executive has the power to take silch. a ' step," declared Sheriff O. D.- 81111116! of Amhmt. Secretary of flleldaritime Prov- inces _ . Amateur Athletic Union of Canada.

MONTREAL. Jan. ii-St. Louis Eagies,'underdogs oi.’ the National Hockey League, were in a tie for fourth place in the Canadian sec- tion with Montreal Canadiens to- day, preparing for a drive they hoped would carry them into a playoff berth.

Playing like a top-of-tlle-lealgue JILII) instead of holders of last‘ place, the lowly Eagles surprised a crowd of about 5,000 fans here Saturday nigh: by matching stride for stride with the powerful Mont- real Maroons and speeding to a

J-l victory. After a scoreless first Period. the dagles went ahead midway

through the second on a BOB-l by their ace front rank. Glen Brydson, a former Maroon, raced through to pick up a double relay from his line-mates, Carl Voss and Syd Howe, and drive home a scorcher that just caught the corner.

A penalty to Jerry Shannon gave Maroons the opportunity they were looking for in the third period. At the seven-minute mark Bob Gracie got the equalizer, lifting home a hard shot from the side near the blue-line as Maroons kept five men on the attack. His two Wings, Herb Cain and Gus Marker, were both awarded assists on the

Jan. 6 _ A glorious first period scoring burst-five goals in five minutes-tonight gave De- troit Red Win15 a 6-2 victory over the injury-riddled Montreal Can- adicns in a National Hockey league game before 10,000 spectators. There was never any doubt about the outcome after the first period was three-quarters finished. Desse Roche's shot. after a pass from Wilf Starr. beat Wilf Cude, former Wing goalie, at the 8.00 minute mark and within five minutes an‘ two seconds the Wings, outskating and outpassing their opponents, added four more tallies.

Earl Roche. Dessefis brother, scored the second Wing goal 0n a neat pass from Larry Aurie.

Twelve minutes later, the Leafs made it 2-0 on a fast Conacher-l to-Primeau-to-Ccnacllel' play. Cude had no chance on the shot.

The redshirts kept in the hunt when Mondou beat Halnsworth less than a minute later. After taking a pass from Goldsworthy, he split the Leaf defence and drove a speedy one past the Tor- onto netminder.

Victory Over East

Saturday afternoon the curling rink resounded with the clash of stones and the cheering of players as West, and East met in miniat- ure “bonspell? It was one of the greatest get-mgethers of curling enthusiasts in recent years and bids fair for a banner season for the “roarln' game."

sided- 0-0 shutout Saturday night before 15,000, largest hockey crowd 0f the Bostm season.

This setback was the third straight the Bruins have taken from Clem Ioughlins speedy play- ers and the most humiliating one they have suffered on their home surface in several years.

Despite the score, the action was fast and exciting from start to fin- ish. Almost every trick the Hawks attempted was crovmed with suc- cess, but the Bruins. over-pressing most of the way, flubbecl every scor- ing chance while making Lorne Chabot appear to be the greatest goalie in hockey.

The gleeful visitors countered once in the first session, banged home four pucks in a six-minute stretch of the second period play, and broke “Tlny" Thompson for the sixth and last time early in the final period. Mush Mhrch coll- verted two of the great Howie Mor- enz's beautiful passes into coun- ters and Paul Thompson also suc- ceeding in breaking his brother twice, with the assistance of the able Doc Romnes. This combina- tion aided A't Coulter to register the opening tally and Louis 'I‘rudcll caged the only unassisted gonl of the game.

The defeat put the Bruins back in second place, a hall-game be. hind the Hawks, and probably ruined their chances of making ally kind of showing against the run- away Toronto Maple Leafs here 'I‘uesday_ night.
