The Charlottetown Abblea won the Pr-ovincfa.l Inter-imedialte hockey chamiplorwhip last night by defeat- ing the O'Leary Mairoons 6-5 in a hard fought game at the Char- lottetown Forum. The Cecil Dowl- irig ooaohed Abbies won the two game total goal series by a slim 10-9 margin.

Left winger Malcolm Mac!-Tayden picked the puck from a Sc-ramble in front of the O'Leary net and scored with only a minute and thirteen seconds left in the third period to give the Abbies their ser- ies winning goal. Arnold MacCal- liini assisted on the play.

The goal was bitterly disputed by the determined Maroons who over- mine a three goal Charlottetown lead in the third period to tie up the game. The Maroon: claimed the puck was frozen in the goalies possession and play was dead but the referees ruled that the puck this always in play.

lH8'i'IId the decision of the Judges

..'-

Wes "Bueko" Traino,r who play-i ed and coached the Grand Fallsl All Stars to the Newfoundland hockey championship two ago, is the number one , hero of Grand Falls. The win by Trainor's team marked the firs ,time that Grand Falls ever woiil EH16 championship and they have, been in the Island competition for. -seventeen years. To win the crownl hey defeated the Buclians team,, fperenntial champions of Newfouiid-, and. The Buchans were highly

49lrated but the Truinoi-men defeatccil

iihem 6-4 and 4-1 in the two game total goal series. 1, . . ,

Here's what John Howlett in thct

St. Johns Daily News had to say; lnbout ”Bucko" and his team thcl lday after they won the title: "This l(Graiid Falls: liockey-trenzicd ltown threw its hat in the air in lwild jubilation and spoiitzincous lapplause for ex-New York Ranger "Bucko" Trainer last night as the Grand Falls All Stars won the Nawfoundlaiid hockey chuiii'pion- ship by liiinibling three-tiiriechzin1- pion Buchans 4-1 before 11 sellout crowd in the Stadium.

. . .

”The standout playing and coach- ing of Wes :Bucko' '1Taiiior sway- ed the battle of the imports in fovor of the Papertowneis and mded seventeen years of frustra- tion for the hock-ey-loving town which had never won the cham- pionship series. Many times they had tried and lost, but this year was difIerent. They won in two straiglit games S-4 and 4-1 before a two-game paid attendance of 6,223. Just as in the first game penalties were the vital factor. But it was Euchans' inabifny to score when Grand Falls were two men short that ruined their chances to hold onto the Herder Memorial Trophy."

1Bucko' Trainor deserved all the accolaclcv he received for moulding the Papertowners into a smooth- working juggernaut that never did anything foolish. Although Trainer was without doubt the star on the ice with his leffortless stiokhzindling gymnastics. his charges exuded the superb confidence of men born in the game. Coaches Joe Byrne and Ray Marshall worked hard and shone on the offense but they were no better than George Faulkner, Markie Andrews and Al Folkes, the locals whom Tralnor moulded iiito stars." . That's the result of Bucko's first year as a coach and we must con- gratulate hlm for a job well done. The people in Grand Falls think a lot of Tralnor and his two lm-ports Cliff Jacltsoii and Ray Marshall. A short time ago a writer in a Saint John's paper was suggesting that they should be retained in Grand Falls It. the summer months to teach the youngsters baseball. It's not known whether Trainor iri- tends to remain in Grand Falls or not. If he does he has 3 house provided by the Grand Falls people free of charge which he can call his own for as long as he chooses. 0 C U City athletes, who have been out of the Province ?r the winter months, are ietu ning to their homes. The latest to arrive was Harry "Kid" Poulton who came in from Calgary yesterday evening. Harry had several big bouts in Calgary. He won one fight, had two draws and lost one mi 3. de- hatealble split decision. The loss was to Lou Lawrence. middle- weight champion of Western Can- ada, but according to the Calgary

Islanders coadh Murph cham- beriain rates the goal that Lyle Wiserman scored in the dying min- utes of regulation time at Glace Bay Wednasdzi night and which wasn't with as the "Greatest steal in the history of Maritime hockey.” .

Cliamberlain, Islanders players and other who aocomipanied the team to Glace Bay were positive that the puck had entered the net and came out again when question-

ed abou'r the matter yesterday evening and last night, Ewen some of the Glace Bay

players told the Islanders that Mia puck was in the net. A Glace Bay

defenseman. who was on the ice at

the time, told Wallter Paiwlshyn in over-time, "You fellows are one goal ahead of us but we'll contlnug playing anyway."

The puck was lmhol: by Wlseman along the ice. It came out quickly and the Islanders were forced to keep playing at the time because they couldn't let up and allow the Miners to score. As :1 result they didn't have a chance to protest un- til the play stopped.

Murph had plenty to say about the referees especially with regard to the manner in which they hand out interference penalties. "These referees look to me as though they worked in the 0.H.A. Junior B League," stated the Hardrock.

NEW WATERFORD, N.5., (UP) -The powerful Unilted Mine Work- ers C.C.L. got tough with 2,900 wildcat coal mine strikers Thurs- day, ordering them back to work on threat of suspending their char- ters.

Douglas MacDonald, union board member for the area, told a meet- ing of strikers from one of the pits involved, that they better get back to work - ”Ai1d. Sunday may be too late."

He hinted there is a possibility the charters of the three locals might be revoked - which would mean their members would be out of work because the company can cinploy only union men.

The strikers made no immediate reply but instead orwhized a mass nioeting for Sunday.

The walkout, involving nearly a third of Cape Breton's 10.000 coal miners. came as their union's top officers tried to negotlaite a new working contract.

Boston, Bruins In 5-3 Victory Over Detroit T 0 Even Semi-Finals

DE'I'RDI'F, (GP) - A vest-tight defence, ffttted around goalie sugar Jim Henry, carried Boston Bruins to a stunning 5-3 victory over De- troll: Red Wings Thursday Highl- and squared their Stanley Cup hoc- key series at a game apiece,

Boston built up a 5-1 lead and then its famed close-checking de- fence went into action, frustratlngi the Red Wings time after time.

Boston would play five men back and this worked until the last 21,-; rnlnuies of play when Metro Prys- tal clicked twice for the Detroit- era within 30 seconds. But by this time, the Bruins had the game: locked up.

Dave Creighton scored twice for- the Bruins. Fleming Mackel-T. Joe Klukay and Johnny Pelrson cmin-- iod once each. But the defence was the big story.

Henry was magnificent in the Boston cage. Humillafted by the Wings all year, he turned aside 43 shots to only 19 for Terry Saw- ohuk, Detroit's goalie.

The crowd of 13,357. cemetery-

qulet while Boston scored its goals. gave Henry a fine ovation for his hard-to-ibelieve itcrobatlcs.

The defeat ended Sawchuk's hopes of scoring his fourth straight Stan- ley Cup shutout, and snapped a string of nine straight Detroit play- off victories,
