Hawks

playing fast and heady hockey bout offensively and defensively. liloncton Hawks shut the Abbies

outlast night by a score of 2 to nil. <

From the getaway at the face- ofi it looked as if the visitors were on in every sense of the word. and hem-M by the crafty and most brilliant Duke McDonald in centre m», they took the play away from {no loculs in the first period, QdgQd them in the second and stepped out in the third to hold the desperate and over-anxious Abhlrs from caging the disc. Over- anxlous is a good word to use in this case, as the locals lost golden opportunities to score on countless nllnlbers of loose pucks which float- ed well inside the Hawk blue line and, but unfortunately for the "Red Shirts," were left to lie there until cleared by s. fast skating Hawk. There isn't a doubt in the world that the Hawks were given one of their hardest battles of the season, but lack of finish around the not spelled disaster for the Abegweits. Moncton. on the other hand com- bined well, were dead on the nct on almost every shot and showed clan when the opportunity pre- rented itself.

The best team won last night, rlnd if Hawks show the same brand of llorkoy for the remainder of the season they are going to be a hard tr-nm to head in the Northern League Hockey race.

Ill justice to the Abegwcits, it may he mentioned here, that if (here's such a thing in this world

as luck, it surely departed from thc t

Abcgwcit hearth last night. This was evidenced, especially .ln the last period, when the homestcrs lllisscli seven glorious chances to score in mixllps inside the Hawk blue line. Pass-outs were the ordcr of the session. but the disc simply wouldn't behave with the above nlrntioned result.

Bill Gill, rangy Moncton dc- ioncenlnn was one of the many “Milli-we packets of the night. With a reputation as a. bad man, he held hi5 head last night, and consc- illliflltltv remained ‘on the ice dur- lllfl hc entire game, and further m“ Bil; Bill's great defensive hock- Pl‘ was one of the main cogs in the Hawk victory.

Individually, the Abcgwcits were 200d. but collectively they ‘made a. Door showing on almost every at- imllllt at combination. This was duc to inaccurate passing, the puck 51101118 into the receivers‘ skates inslclld of on his blade.

SECOND PERIOD

After several sorties in which honors were about even, Hawks broke into the scoring column, when Red Cook broke clear from his own blue line to stick-handle to within ten feet of Stull, whore he blazed a fnst knee high sllot. Stull got the disc dead centre, but lost a wicked rebound, which was gathered up by Wick James, who tore in fast for the shot, which Stllll didn't have a cllancc to savc. Seven minutes lat- er Moncton scored their second and last goal in something the same manner. Duke McDonald, visiting centre flash, broke from an inter- cepted pass ut centre ice to race to the blue lille where he took s. llnrd drive at Stull. As in the for- mer casc. Stull handled the shot, but was forced to bend when Monty Muckle came from nowhere to cage the rebound. Stull was off balance on the shot, and once again fate stepped in to beat a goalie whose work last night was worthy of ev- ery praise.

| FRATERNIZING

Johnny Evcrs, old fighting 'I‘l'o- jan, who helped to raise Chicago Cubs and Boston Braves to the iaixlnacle of glory, has often dc- lipicred (he tendency of modern ‘baseball (players towards frater- ‘llizing with the opposition . Too ‘much handshaking. too light fight, and too much paling around off ‘the field he considered detracted from the attiudc players should have towards their means of live- lihood. Somewhat the same (animates Intemationai League ex- ecutives, who have ruled that hand- shaking, wise cracking with specta- tors, chatting and frlllernizng with the opposition is bad for the mor- ale.

l

HOCKEY DIFFERENT

Hockey. which is a physical con- tact game, hasnt much 0f the hand shaking complex to bother it. There is little fraiemizirlg between the players of clubs, except maybe in the off season. I11 the old days any- one going over to shake hands will an opponent, before a game would be regarded as distinctly effeminate. One can imagine the fcclngs of such doughty warriors as the llltc Joe Hall, Alf smith, Newsy Lalcnd: and other exemplars of the old doctrine oi keeping both hands on the stick at all linlcs, at the hand-

, shaking which is slmlct 1110s indulg-

That story emanating from 305-, ‘ton that the Montreal Maroorls were ‘threatening action. against the Bes- kton Club for signing ow mans; ‘(players is emphatically denied in! {certain circlcl. It is slid that the ltwo Montreal amateurs signed by Jlrlrm were not wanted by Maroons, [and were not on the Montreal re- ‘serve llst. Further, the Maroon club {officials deny lodging any com- 'plalnt against the Boston Club for

siigning them. They state that the iplnyyers in question were not con- “sidcrcd good enough for profession- al hockey, and that after tendering them contracts and getting them to sign the Boston Clwb found out what a mistlke it had made. i Charges that the lvfaroons, Can- lldiens and Maple Leafs are spon- soring amateur clubs to develop players is true 1n a certain sense It ls only natural that professional clubs should take some interest in amateur hockey. for that‘ is where they obtain the stars of the future. But any amateur star is free to sign wherever he secs fit, and no professional club can put h'm on its reserve list or negotiation its‘. and expect to hold him unless with (he signed consent of the arwlcllr player or his parents.

hiIObFPREAL, Que, Fob. 1 "l-fooley" smith, cenircmarl of the Montreal Maroons, has again forg- ed into leadership for points-mak- ing honors in the National Hockey League, according to figures issued tongiit by Frank Calder, i-lesidexlt of the National Hockey League and including the games played on Sun- day night.

The race for soorng supremacy has been decidedly close all season. and Smith's margin over two con-- tenders is by a mere point, Harvey Jackson, left winger of the Toronto Ma/plc Leaf “kid line," and Bill Cook, right winger of New York Bankers are fsht behind.

Individual effort», apparently has little connecton with team ability l0!‘ in both sections, the leaders come exclusively from leading or tail-end clubs. Smith, ill forging to the front, comes from the ranks of the club which is trailing the Can- adian section, while the three from h’s own section which follow him most closely are from the first- place team, the Ilesfs. This trio comprises the entire Leaf forward section of Jackson, Conacher and Primeau, only two points separatng this three.

Ill the American division, Cool: and Dillon, right wingers of thr section leading Rangers, are trail- :d closest by still another right wing clapper of the Boston Bruno.‘

Tics exist in two divisions. Char- lie Conacher and Bill Cook have each scored the same number of goals, 25. In penalties, Ching John- son of Rangers and "Red" Homer of the Leafs each has served the same number oi’ minutes, '10 each.
