Much indignation and uo little disappoinuncnt 4s fult throughout the city with regard to the Crystals action of canceling their game, which was to have been played with the Abcgwcim at the Forum last night. Instead oi playing here they fill-H’- tained Moncton at the home town rink. This sudden swltchlsasmyter lous as it is unexplainable. However, local fandom are no doubt happy in the knowledge that the schedule has got to be played to a. conclusion.

THE NEW RULE

it was only the other night that

Montreal hockey fans got a taste of the new rult requiring the referee in amatcur games to stop the play any time a goalkeeper caught the puck and did not immediately get rid of it. The league executive had determined during ilrc week to adopt the 0.H.A. interpretation of the rule relating to goalies‘ holding the puck. No longer are smart smart goalies to be allow- ed to calch the puck, felnt a pass to one corner and then cross the netn and toss It into the other corner of the rink. When gonlcrs hold the puck i’; is to be faced off 10 feet in front of the nct. That ls the rule as now being played by the Senior Group in Montrezrl——-just as it has been in the Southern New Brunswick League all season.

The "Great War"

According to a alleged ucleplronc conversation with Hockey President Downing of Summer-side, domicile of the Crystals, Charlottetown officials were informed that, he, Downing demanded ‘Jhat certain charges be retracted and also objected to ivan Nicholsonbr future activity with the Abcgweit hockey icam. Unless these conditions are met with, it is hinted that the Crystals will drop from ‘rllrc I‘. E. island Hockey Lcaguc. The writer is not concerned with any charges against Mr. Downing. but apparently the President docs not fake kindly to tlrc decision oi‘ the Maritime Anrurcur Hockey Associ- ation, which suspended Nicholson for one game. That one game is over and “llickc_v," so far ashockcy is concerned, is as "white as snow".

0n the face of the whole thing, nota murmur, so far as is known, comes from the Crystal camp, and apparently the boys themselves wont. p "play the game." Judgment has Qeen given in the Nicholson-Grady hso~and why the lrold up—it was 1 good ‘oi League while it lasted. iowever, the Abcgweits do no? want the title ns a present, they would jather win li—so let's get going.

COACH NOT EVERYTHING Tire Philadelphia team of the Na- tional Hockey League have lost 24 games so far this season, and they have one of the best coaches in Cooper Smeaton. The club has only won two contests-beating Toronto Maple Leafs, 2-1 and Montreal Ma- roons 4-3, and has played one over- time tie with Ottawa. The record is lreld by the Pihsburg Pirates of last season, who lost 36 games.

The “Juniors" VERY ANAEMIC

it was confidently expected by the fistic solons that when Schnreling won there would be a revival in the industry, and a nation-wide demand to dig up a contender to win the crown back, much like the crusade conducted for s. White hope when Jack Johnson was top hitter among the hcavies. Schmcllng retreated to the bosky dells along the Binelan’ and the depression came along to make people think more of essentials rather than luxurhs, such as prise fights, and the props were knocked from the whole structure. The indus- try bccame very anaemic and was and is still suffering greatly from malnutrition.

Paul Thompson of New York Rang- ers, Herbie Lewis of Der-cit Falcons, Ronnie Martin of Buffalo Interna- tionals, Pcte Mitchell of Kansas City pla-mors, Johnny Loucks of Boston Tigers. "Dutch" Gainor of Boston Bruins, "Pudge" McKenzie and Don- nle McFadycn of Chicago sham’- rocks all played junior together in (ialgury. Who knows, maybe one or two oi our own Junior hockeylsts Quay make the grade.

Carr you name the 10 fastest rec- ird trottcrs? They are Peter Man- ling, 1.56 3-4; Ulrlan, 1.58; Lee Ax- worthy, 1.58 1-4; Nedda, 1.58 1-4; Lou Dillon, 1.58 1-2; Guy McKinney, 1.58 3-4;_ Tilly Brooke, 1.59; Mr Mc- Elwyn, 1.59 1-4; Scotland, 1.59 1-4; Arlon Guy, 1.59 1-2 and ilanovefs Bertha, 1.59 1-2.

STRANGE AS iT SEEMS

THE "GREAT CARNERA"

There is only one fighter on the whole blue horizon who can attract more than passing attention to the plot to bring the heavyweights back to serious public attention.

lhat ls the cffcte and dainty Car- nera, with the Cinderella feet and appetite that would put a hockey rookie to shame. Garner-a still re- mains the most enticing, the vast intrigue: about whom rages a con- troversy whethcr he can or cannot fight. Although on exhibition for a long while, the engrossing question l5 still unanswered. The public is keenly delighted over the prospect of seeing someone reach out and ex- plode a. shot on his chin that would knock him out of the picture, and for this on: peek they would part with much. For the rest they would hardly turn from twisting their radio dials. There arc lots of opponents for Camera, but the selection com- mittee has to be consulted, and un- der the circumstances it is unlikely that any but the more prominent pushovers can qnalffy for n. session with him.

Some hing unusual in professional hockey occurred after the Syracuse- Buffalo game last week. ‘Referee Torn Munro, of London, handled the con-- test so well that players oi both beams trooped into t-hc dressing room Ind congratulated him.

Harold Gross, playing manager of the Kentvllic, Wildcats, is apparently a valuable asset for any team. in his past 14 games wih the Wildcats he has not drawn a penalty, but appar- ently he checks hard, according to the capualiy lists. He reminds ‘the writer of a. ccrlaln hnckeyist—-he's ee different.

used, there was absolutely no res- scn or justification for doing it.

I do not know what else I need tell you, gentlemen. There would not be much advantage in my re- viewing the evldence for you. The evidence is not complicated at all; it is very simple. The only complica- tion is as to who is telling the truth about this shooting. Evidently some- thing happened. There is evidence that the plaintiff, when McDonald came up and asked what was the trouble, said that; he irud been shot up. Had there been shooting or was it n. delusion on his part? There is evidence that, when he met -wlth these people coming from Charlotte- town to fiummerslde, he said the same thing. Haslam had seen the hole in the tire. It seems to me, gentlemen, that it amounts simply to this: either there was shooting by the defendants, or else the plain- tlfihas been trying to "frame" them. It is for you gentlemen to decide. Those two theories have been put forth and 1t is for you to consider whether it is reasonable to think, in the circumstances, that there has been a “frame-up." But we cannot ‘get away from this: either there was shooting by the defendants which caused this damage, or else there was something done after they left, by the plaintiff himself, to cause this damage. You have heard the evidence as well as I have. There docs not seem to have been very much time in which to do it, be- cause the time of the occurrence of this whole business was around 2 o'- clock in the morning, and these young people coming from Char- lottetown arrived there about that time. There is also the matter of Haslam being there. All these things are to be considered, gentlemen. it is s. matter for you.

Final instructions

I have no hesitation in instructing you that if you come to the conclu- sion that the defendants, or either of them, did shooting on this occa- sion at the car of the plaintiff, then there should be a verdict for tho

plaintiff. If, on the other hand, they did not do any shooting and their actions amounted to stopping the plaintlfl’ on the road, then I think you might well find o verdict for the dafendants; because the whole case here is the shooting.

If you find a verdict for the plain- tiff, then it will be a matter for you in say what the amount of damages should be. The plaintiff says he l5 not so particular about the dam- ages, that it is not damages he is af- ter, but it is what he thinks is in the public interest: that persons in authority should not use that author- ity in a way that would endanger life and property. As m the amount, in his statement plaintifl puts the carriages to his car at $150. He makes another large claim for fear and anxiety of mind he underwent; but on the stand he said that the" was nothing to that; he was not, afraid. So I don't know that it will be necessary, in the event of a verdict for plaintiff, to give him dam- ages for something that he does not claim on the stand.

Now gentlemen, I am going to leave the case with you at this stage.

The whole question before you comes down to this: Did the de- fendants use a gun? Did they fire a gun? There is evidence that two of plaintiffs tires had been punctur- cd by some round instrument. Ac. cording to the evidence before you, in one tire there was simply a punc. ture below the rim into the tire; the other, in about the same place, pass- ing through the tire and through the tread. It is for you to sny whether those injuries to the tires were caused by shots fired by the defendants, or not.

FOUND N0 TRACE 0F BUR- GLARS-Interviewed regarding an alleged burglary of the premises of the Swift Canadian Company on Queen Street Thursday night, the city police ofncials state that the matter has been thoroughly investigat-

ed- and they are convinced that there is no foundation for the report. The story, as given to The Girafdlsir by the police is that about 11 o'clock Thursday night a phone call waslsentlln to the Police station, by some boys at. Duffy's Grocery store, reporting the suspicious entry of some person into the Swift Canadian building through a window. Sergeant Moln- nls and Officer Blggar proceeded to the building. On arrival, several boys who were standing at the comer re- ported that someone had entered. Sergeant McInnis immediately took up a position at the back of the building. Officer Biggar, at the front, tried to gain entrance through a. hstchway which, however, proved to be too small to admit him. He then telephoned to Mr. Conrad, and Mr. Prauglrt, the book-keeper. Mr. Praught arrived first, followed by Mr. Conrad in company with Mr. L. E. Trcvltt, the new manager. The pol- ice then got access to the premises and on investigation found the team- ster in the elevator. On being quest- ioned he stated he had seen two men enter the premises and followed af- ter them. The police, however, could find absolutely no trace of the alleg- ed intruders and are satisfied that they could not have gained access and exit without leaving some trace.

Mrs. William E. MacDougall has returned to her home in Hunter Riv- cr, after spending a few days with friends in the City.
