Saint John earned the decision by a twc-zonl margin but a pen- alty to Hull's half-pint defence- man. Germs Reinhardt. can: Beav_ ers the break and Matt Kelly scor- ed tn break a 2-2 deadlock. Jim- my Russell made sure 0f the out- come when he notched a counter wit-h 37 seconds to go in the third period.

While Beavers were outplayed through most oi the came their smart goalie Bill Dickie was the stumbling block on which Hull's best efforts were smashed. Dickie handled 37 shots to 20 for Mel Becker oi Hull.

Opens Scoring

Larry Inrocque opened the scor- inil in the second minute of the game but Rilssell tied it up l4 minutes later with the help of Kelly. Albert Cholette. Hull's hero through the five games oi the ser- ies. broke the deadlock 38 seconds from the end oi the period in

which Becker had an easy time with only six shots handle, while Dickie stopped 16.

In a drab second period, com- pared to the opening frame when Hull attacked continuously, the goalies had practically no work ss plays failed to click through the close checking of both teams.

SaintJchn came to life with the opening of the third period but it was Hull who came closest tomor- ing. After Becker made a good stop on Kelly's shot. Cholette broke nway with Devine and Dickie pull- ed a magnificent save.

Baird Ivens Score

"Boots" Baird drew Saint John even again at the five minute mark when he followed Russell inside the Hull blue line and shovelled the puck over Becker after the lat- ter had stopped Russell's drive with his stomach and juggled the puck momentarily.

Eddie Price. speediest of the Beavers sent s scorching drive shoulder high at Becker's cage in the 14th minute of tbs game, and

open corner of Hull's cage.

From the opening whistle and through the first period it seemed I-tull would tear down the burly defence of Ham Riley and (Shsrlie Phillips. so furious was their st- taok. but it was e. break that séaried the first scaring opportun-

y.

Larocque backhanded the puck so the Saint John cage and the puck struck Kelly in the 1w! Oholette snared the rubber fell as he neared the goal crease and Larocque just shot into an open corner with no efiort.

Ill THIS BURNER

Perth Blue Wings today are in Montreal awaiting the opening Rune oi their playdcwn serieswith Verdun Maple Leafs in the senti- flnals for the Eastern Canadian title but it will be a long while bfilflre they will be able to forget the scare the brilliant Maritime champions threw into them in whst was the most sensational aortas, junior or senior ever staged

ere.

O O O O Royals are pretty nearly through for the season, pending outcome of negotiations in regards to a trip to Cape Breton. but the local youngsters can hang up their skates wit-h the feeling that they are the greatm junior team ever to represent the Island. I O O O

Only a heart-breaking bit of bad luck, happening with them just 42 seconds away from completin one of the most smashing come cks ever attempted by a ream, drove them t_o the sidelines but at the same time they showed conclusive- ly before 3,000 madly excited fans that they were every bit as good as the Perth team. O O O O

Blue Wings realized that too and they were a mighty happy bunch of boys when the game did end in the early hours oi the morning. Wearing a smile s. mile long Coach Chouinard, standing in the middle of his madly-whooping team, took time out to state that Royals were a wonderful hockey team and that he was glad the series was oven. One could tell he meant every ward of it and it was a deserved compliment to a bunch of young- sters that suffered one of the toughest breaks that has everbeen witnessed by this writer.

O O O . But it is all history now; it will be talked about for weeks to come, yes, but. at the same time there is another season rolling around and if the beam is to be held together it is up to all interested to see lust what they can do for meboys in the way of ‘employment.

O O

Ailcr all you can't expect them to st-ny around if more lucrative positions are offered elsewhere and already five of the boys have re- ceived offers that they may or may not accept. It all depends entirely on what will be in the of- fing here and it seems that the present time is opportune to see just what can be done.

O O O

'I'here is no to single out any one of them for individual praise. They were all a bunch of stars with a brilliant goalie be- t/ween the pipes in Johnnv Davis; a. starry defence duo of Willie Mc- Donald and Ieith Jw who played every minute of each game. and two lines of fast-skating forwards who never knew when they were beaten. It may be A long time be- fore_we see a series like it. again and see a. team give such an ex- hibition of hockey ability and gargneness that the Royals dished ou .

O I O O But one player will be missing from the juniors when next year rclls along and he is John "Tarky" Whitlock, peerless little centre of the Royals first line. Saying good- bye to the junior ranks "Tarlry" turned in his greatest performan- ces in the series just concluded

' and was a. standout every time out.

Next year he will probably be bol- stering a senior team's attack and efforts like will be done m the juniors’ case should be made to keep ‘Tarky’; it: a.lofal uniform.

Before hanging up Royals may travel to Sydney to meet sn all- star junior team from Cape Bret- on. The boys would like to make the trip and it is likely they will provid of course that suitable negotlat ons can be made.
