Onl by the narrowest of margins did tile Junior Royals manage to cop the New ,runswick-P.E.I. jun- ior title last night and with it a place in the Maritime final against Halifax Canadians. But it was mar-

gin enough and Walter Lawlor now prepares his club for their fourth bid for a three-province crown in the last five years.

O O I

Just how they will fare off nrainst the Halifax team is hard to say. Canadians have been prov- ing tough nuts to crack on their home ice, ever since the playdowns got underway, Three times in a row now they have come from behind two and three goal deficits to up- set the dope and last niglllisf. they had their closest call sga t Syd- ney B .

O I O

In fact the Canadieng just man- aged to knot the series count in the final period but then once again they had the necessary punch to ram home the series-winning mark- er in the extra session played.

I O I

Pans who have watched the Hal- ifax Juniors perform this season and who watched the Royals in their winning performance last night were quick to give the Island team an even chance to walk off with the three-province title. They liked the fizhting spirit of the Roy- als and claim they are just as fast as the Nova Scotia tltlists but per- haps not quite as polished in pass- ing plays.

O O O

Most of these oprnions however were formed on last night's per- iormance by tlr local Club. And last night's game was a type rlLiCKcy that was \vont to make elt-li- er team look far from their best. it was check and double check for well over three-quarters of the match and from a spectators standpoint did not prove near as nerve-tingling as other games wit- iiesscd this season.

a a -

Neither club wanted to take any unnecessary chances and they ac- cordingly layed it close to the est. Roya finally got the break they were looking for on the strength of the Gregory to Nicolle play early in the second and that was the payoff. The winners from there on threw up a defensive bar- rier that bent slightly at times but t! still holding at the final whis-

O O O

One thing that was outstanding about last night's encounter how- ever was the brilliant display givcii by the two rival goalies. Both son- ier, the visiting net-minder and Ivo Cudmore, Royals custodian, gave performances that haven‘. been equalled here this season by either senior or iunior players.

Times without number it seem- ed as if they must yield as attack- ers raced into their doorstePB bu? with the exception of the one occa- sion that Nicolle beat Sonier the two youngsters managed to get a leg, stick mitt or hand in from, of the flying rubber to t1i.rn aside

what appeared to be certain counters. _ . . It was a battle of goalies all

throughout the lame and although it, was Cudmorc who earned his shutout. there was nothing to choose betwee l the pair of them and as the final whistle went they showed their sportsmanship as they skat- ed w center ice to warmly congrat- ulate each other.‘

Commenting on selections for the Byng and Hart Trophies, annual. awards of the National Hockey League, Baz O'Meara, noted col- umnist of the Montreal Star goes overboard for 5Y1 Apps and Budd? O'Connor as the most deservini N- gjplgntg of Lhg trophies Whtfl hO says: O O O

NEW CAR FERRY

(Continued from Page 1)__

owing their pressing request that action be taken to secure s. new ferry, had written a strong letter to the authorities in Ottawa and was gtill awaiting an answer.

Mr. S. A. Macbeod said the trans- portation committee had asked the Premier to take the initiative and the Board of Trade would get be- hind hirn but apparently he doesn't see fit to do so at the present time. Mr. MacLeod thought the ship- pers shou d have gone direct to the

government. “Our very lives de- pend on this matter," he said. “Every man, woman and child

should be up in aims and demand that action be taken."

As an illustration of our trans- portation difficulties. he instanced goods shipped from Toronto on

of February B. which were delivered

only yesterday.

Mr. Proust: stated that he had wcrd ‘indirectly’ that Hon. C. D. Howe, intended making a. stir/e- ment on the car ferry question in Parliament “this coming week."

Mr. R. E. Mutch suggested that a wire should be sent to the Prime Minister of Canada, pressing Uhe Island's cluiins before Mr. l-Icwe makes any committment, as it "might be impossible to change his mind after he makes an an- nouncement".

President Ainsworth stressed the necessity of making a united pro- test and the futility of discussion in sficps and street comers.

Mr. Frank B. Clarke believed the heads of business firms throughout Canada, should be contacted and urged to add their weight to the movement. He produced a letter he had writ-ten to Mr. J. S. Mac- Lean. President cf Canada Packers asking him to press the Island's claims at Ottawa. to which Mr. Macbean had given a favorable reply. This Mr. Clark also read.

Major T. E. Mac-Nutt referred to the ferry traffic needed to supply the two airports alone. He believ- ed wholesalers and coal dealers should seek priorities on food and coal mipmenis for next winter. The Island should at least be given auxiliary steamersbetweeoi George- town and Picwu.

“Why Not For Car Ferry?"

Mr. J. 0. stated that the Island's re resentatives in Parliament had sad very little n-

a neyv carfeny Slit-HO all the Island's activities depend inn dtransportation with the main- BJI .

Mr. Hiyndman stated that the April issue of Popular Mechanics devoted six new i» description o! icebreaking steamers on the lakes, which have been built since the outbreak of war with material procured in the States.
