In the second canto the Y changed toetics somewhat and played a deliberate. dribbling game that at times slowed the action to a Walk. Tempers flared several tunes in the half culminating in a small scale brawl that involved all the players of both teams with Ashford. Wood. Hawaii, and Dalziel getting the gate for their part: in the fray.
It was a rough contest. 39 fouls being called. 24 against the Welsh and 15 against the Y. McAndrew and Ballem fouling out.
The winners were actually out- shot 6-l-63. but were just twice as good from the field. netting 34 percent of their shots while the Y hit on 17 percent of their floor at- tempts. .
Red-headed Charlie I-line and guard Ian Ashford paced the col- lege squad. dumping 14 points each. Crockett starred on defence.
Machenn and stocky George Scantlehury were tops for the tri- angle team with 13 and 8, while Bnllem played well at guard.

The 2,600 and some odd cash
customers who crowded into the Charlottetown Forum on Tucs- day night to witness the first Clilsh over local ice between islanders and Millionaires in Maritime Ma- jor title play, ccrlalnly weren't wanting for plenty of action and snappy play. Working from be- hind as they have had to do for two out of the three games in the series so far, Islanders made or valiant bid to break into the win column, but despite their efforts, fell short by two goals against a powerful Sydney aggregation.
Picking up six penalties to Sydney's live in the first frame, Islanders lost their victory in that! -period alone when Sydncy gnrn-. cred up all four of their in that one frame to hold tr. liberall 4-l edge at the end of that time.L Losing the services of starry Frank Bathgate, who suffered a -back injury before the midway mark in the frame. didn't help the Islanders ca-use either.
Pasimastcrs on the defensive play as well as offensive. Syiney pulled the same tactics they did in the opening game at Sydney last Friday, when they lined up behind their own blueline to harn- mer and batter all through the second frame against a flying Is- landers club who bored in con- tinually in an effort to cut down a hefty three-gcal lead. It was tirinvg, gruelling work for the Is- landers. however, who wore them- selves out trying to crash their l way through a network of Sydney fortifications.
Even at that the locals might have done the trick that would have made Millionaires open up 4 again if it had not been for the 'sen-salinnal work of Nick Pid-
sodny in the Sydney cage. Bounc-
ing around like 5 rubber ball,
but cool as an ice-berg, he literal- lly boarded up the front of his
cage to roaring plays around-his ldomain. that in some instances made fans wonder how he was keeping the puck out of the net. In fact there were times when Pidsodny wast sure himself. and was seen on two or three occasions looking into the not behind him exapectantly, only to find that the -puck really wasn't there after all, and that lies-had once again made a stellar save.
Ouirplaying the opposition again in the first part of the final frame, Islanders kept up the at- tack. only this time were not to be denied, to fire home two goals and come within inches on a num- ber of occasions of sending the 1 contest into overtime. The fresh- , er of the two after nearly 3 per- i iod and a half of defensive play, Sydney tool-: to the offensive in the closing half of the session, to ive Hal Gordon his turn and once again show his real mettle as a top-notch custodian.
There is no denying Millionaires as a great hockey clu-b. They have balance and punch in every line and devpartment. and as one writer rcrnanked during the first games in Sy,dgr;gy.:ivlgy are as strong on the bench as they are on the in." They play their hockey smart

But they have a worthy oppon- ent too. and although the Sydney- ites hold a 5-1 points advantage in the series so far at time of writing, which was prior to last night's fourth clash. the series is not over yet. The Islanders have a clever hockey club with plenty of punch too, and they don't. even know the meaning of the word "quit" and will continue to bore in to a. final conclusion.
Take Buoko Trainer for instance. From the middle of the first per- iod on he was the most over- wonked player on the ice. For two periods and a half he was hardly off the ice and centred for every line on the club during that time. Probably his longest rest of the night was when he went off for ropairs for about five minutes when he received a nasty gash over one eye that took four stitches to pull together. Pitch- ing in for a terrific performance, he worked his heart out to make up for the loss of Bathgate, and believe it or not, although admit- tedly tired. was showing plenty of steam right to the final whistle. Speaking of Frtnk Bathgate, fans will be pleased to hear that. his indury is not as serious as was first thought. Frank has a pain- ful bruise at the small of his back, but was up and around again yesterday, and it. is believed will be back in uniform again to- morrow night.

TORONTO, April 4 - (CP) - All Toronto sang the praises of old Tunk Broda today.
Even that segment of the pop- ulacc that hopes for a Boston triumph in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup semi-final with To- ronto Maple Leafs joined in the chorus of admiration for the doughty old ca-mrpaigner who will be 37 next May l5.
The fabulous fat man merits the praise. He stepped cold into the Toronto nets a week ago tonight after crack rookie Al Rollins was put out of action with a strained knee ligament.
He allowed one goal in a little more than two periods of play in that game, yielded another in a 1-1 tie Saturday night, shut out the Bruins Sunday in his 100th professional hockey playoff game and capped all that with another on-c-goal performance last. night.
There's a strong feeling around Toronto that the Leafs can thank the Turk for the 2-1 lead they hold in the series. One of the four games was tied and just doesn't count. The next game will be played here Saturday.
When the met-hodical Rollins came along this year to win the Vezina Trophy, many thought the aging grandon, Man., native was through with hockey. He has shown how premature that specu- lation was.
A starring role in playoffs is nothing new for Broda.
He got into his first pro play- off with Detroit Olympics in 1936 when he allowed eight goals in six post-5-ched-uied games in the old Intemational League for a 1.33 goals-against. average. He's maintained that pace over the years.
In his 101 post-season games he's allowed 206 goals for a 2.04 aver- age. He's sh-ut out the opposition 12 times. Four times his team has won the Stanley Cup.
No other modern goalie can match his record over the years. Bill Durnan. who retired from Montreal Canadiens after last season. allowed 99 goals in 45 playoff games for a 2.20 average. He posted two shutouts.
Frankie Brimsek, farmer Bos- ton great, was scored on M5 times in '16 playoff starts for a 2.64 showing. He had two shutouts.
Harry Lumley, now with Chl- cago, played 59 playoff games with Detroit and Indianapolis and allowed 149 goals for a 2.53 aver- age. He had six shutouts.
Broda also tops all active play- ers in the number of playoff games. His closest rival is centre Sid Abel of Detroit Red Wings whose total now stands. at 87. counting four this year.

Local Team Turns Inf- Fine Performance In f7,f,f Rugged Fourth Game .
Leo Lamoureux'a Charlottetown -Islanders really scored a major upset here before a packed char- lottetown Forum last night when they trounced the Sydney Million- aires by the lopsided count of 8-1 in what was the most bristling and roughest hockey contest. that has been witnessed over local ice in a good many years.
The game was the fourth of 3 best of seven series for the Mari- time major hockey championship and was the Islanders first victory
that now leaves them trailing Sydney by a. 5-3 point margin. Sydney has won two games and
tied one while Islanders have won one and tied one.
The fifth game of the series will be played here on Friday night. with the play then returning to Cape Breton next week.
It was a penalty infested. bruis- ing contest. that saw the players hit one another with everything but the goal posts and threatened to get completely out of hand from the presiding referees Casey Bradshaw and Frank Elliott. who awarded a total of 29 penalties to try and keep down the rough action, but which continued just the same.
Game Held Up
The game was held up time and again for various reasons, and al- though it got underwayt nt ap- proximately nine o'clock. took un- til mbout l2:40 to finish the 60 minutes of play.
Roaring to the attack from the opening whistle on. Islanders came up with the opening goal at i256. hanged home another at 13:31! and finished it off with a third at. 16:40 for a 3-0 lead. With penalties, fights and innumerable other uprisings. the . Islanders continued to take the play away from Sydney in the second frame to pound home three more to Syd- ney's lone marker. and finished off the night by notchlng up two more in the final frame for their lopsided victory with a seven-goal margin.
Danny I-Ioreck and Mac Benton were the leading marksman for Is- landers with a brace each, while Johnny Dutchak. Johnny I-loreck, Wes Trainer and John Morrow picked up a marker each. Don 'tWhip" Whalen was the lone snip- er for the Moneymif, when he rob- bed a courageous al Gordon of a shutout when he slid a soft; shot between his feet in I play with Tom Rockey around the net. It was a screened, backhand shot. from close in that never left the ice.
All of the Isianders' tallies were racked up on classy two and three- man attacks with the exception of Bucks 'rrainor's lone effort in the second period that was the smart- est piece of sticlrhandling that has been witnessed here this season. Taking the puck from behind his own blueline. Trainor threaded his way through almost the entire Syri- ney team to plant the disc in an almost effortless manner behind goalie Nick Pidsodny. It was Is-
t lnnders fifth marker of the night
and came at 12:11 of the second frame.
Gordan Steal: Show
Despite Islanders terrific perfor- mance. it Wu Hal Gordon who stole the show with his display of goaltending and indomitable cour- age under very stressing circum- stances. Early in the first period, at 428 to be exact. Gordon suffered a dislocated right shoulder when husky Don Whalen crashed into that sent Gordon spinning out of him during a play around the net. his cage about 10 feet away to land in a heap on the ice.
Finding that Gordon's shoulder was dislocated. the Island man- agement appealed to the Sydney Club to replace him with Dennis Brodeur, but to quote coach Leo Lamoureux in his own words "they tamed us down flatly." Gor- don then agreed to continue on, and,,yvh1Le;,his shoulder was being

put back in position and Itrapped up by the Club physicians. the game was held up for some 40 minutes.
But the plucky Islanders custod- ian. with his-right arm nearly useless and a needle shot to les- son the pain. carried on for the rest of the game. Once later in the game, Gordon had to call for time while he had the doctor give him another needle to lessen the pain in his arm. and then took up his position in the cage once more. In addition to his handicap, Gordon was to say the least. heroic and in the" final period alone came up with a masterful piece of goaltending to kick aside 12 shots without one getting past him. He handled nearly all of hi-. total of 22 shots in his crippled condition. letting only the one goal which could almost be considered. a. fluke. get by him.
Pidsodny stopped a total of 23 shots. but had eight goals wlffed past him.
In fact it was Gordon's injury and Sydney's refusal to allow a substitute that set the Islanders on fire for the rest of the night to hand the Cape Breton champions their worst defeat this season.
Dennis Brodeur. who played with Saint John Beavers all season, could not be used apparently with- out the opposing team's consent or permission from the M. A.H. A., the latter not being received until after Gordon had resumed play again. If Brodeur had been used, it is rin- deratood that he would have had to be used as Islanders' top goalie for the rest of the season.
Gordon received the special award from the press for his night's per- formance. a new Adam hat. donat- ed by Henderson and Cudmnre. while a high-flying Danny Horeci: was the choice of independent judges for the Jack Cameron guar- anteed Foraythe shirt award. Danny collected two goals and an assist on the night's play.
