The victory marked Raynct-‘s fourth shutout of the season. one more than registered by Walter (Turk) Brod; who starred for (tho Leafs in a. battle of goalies.

The Leafs showered Rlymcr with pucks as 13.869 fans howled for the equalizer but hL; goaltending um- blclls. was leak-proof and he turn- ed away 37 shots, six more than blotted by Hlbdl.

In liho dying second; sftaar Broda hsd been removed from tbs ico. Rayner climsmad his performance nensationelly when ho nlshod 30 feet for a loose puck and fired it towards tin empty Toronto gcsl. missing by foot.

Beavers Defeat Dresccnts 4-1

(By The Canadian Press)

SAINT JOHN. N. 3., Jan. 96- Tossing three goals into the Hali- fax Orescents mesh in the final period Saturday night, with Gerry Lynch pacing the concerted at- tack, Saint John Beavers jumped into a fie with Moncton Hawks for lcaderdiip of the Maritime Big Four Senior Hockey League with a 4-1 victory. '

Except for their snappy goal in the first; period. the Crescents had no chance to display their scor- ing punch against the Beavers as their big guns were held in check. The heavy bumping and back- dsecking of the Saint John toll was’ too much to take.

Jimmy Gray and Csrl Ripley returned to action for the Cres- cents but both were marked men from thc time they stepped on tho ice. Jack Wade, one of the outstanding forwards in_ the lug- ue, was tagged as he made rush after rush intalesver territory.

Gerry Lynch was the out- itsnding player of the night. He played ‘a iurdhesdl-w Ill!" throughout the thro sessions and his eflorta were rewarded in the third when he hsrmnered in a pair of markers.

Tomorrow the Beavers Journey to Moncton to pill’ Hnwh or the load while Besmsts arem t- lna Crescents in Halifax.

Interest in the ico racing game is getting keener every year and horse followers are anxiously s- waiting the staging of the inter- provlncc meet here towards the close of’ February when Halifax and Dartmouth horses will bo pitted sgsinst Island steeds to do- cldo the trotting and pacing champions of the Msrltimes.

Before that, however. Island horsemen will make a jaunt to Nova Scotis where on Feb. 5th, 6th and 6th they will participate in races at Dartmouth and Hall- fax. Losing out to the Nova Sco- tlans on their trip t-here last year. Island horsemen are anx- ious to make amends this season and judging by the form the hor- ses are displaying so far this season the entrants from this province should return with s fair share of the laurels.

Vera provided the competition in the first two dashes and then came under the wire with s couple of lengths to spare in the third and final heat after Archie Lee jumped it ofl 40 yards from the wire in what up to that time had been a close battle between the pair of them with Bir Fran- cis Drake just a couple of lengths back.

Earl Coles‘ Captain Abbe was 1-1-3 in winning the Class B Trot. Ethel Bucllong furnished the competition in the first heat with Mac Watson finishing s length back of the Captain in the second; but in the third and fin- al heat Mac Watson, trotting steadily all the way came under the wire in front.
