The quality of hockey in New Brunswick and Prince Edmroni 1's- land as displayed by the Red In- dians and Junior Abbies in their two games has surprised the hoc- key authorities of Nova Scctia. A Halifax paper comments on it and etsi-b-HYM no?‘ Strait-t 4:.- behind flie sister y- t‘ in their brand of junior hockey. Orlticlze if you will, but you cannot. get away from the fad that Big Four hockey raised the standard in Charlotte- town and vicinity ‘and was the means of creating the present prov- ince wide enthusiasm for the sport. There is nothing better for our boys and lyoung men tihrougvhcut the length and breadth of this. Dro- vlnce than hockey in the winter

Every village should have its base- ball or athletic club. Games keep boyssndyoiuigmenoirtof mis- chief and give them the competit- ive spirit which is so necessary for combating the trials and tribula- tions of life.

A qentlenmn who read our notes on the Fireman's Tournament of 1002 said, “Why didn‘t you men- tion the victory in the hook and ladder race?" We told him the rea- son was that we had. forgotten about that, but when he mentioned it we re- called it readily. The Charlottetown team won handily; not because they were as fast runners as the other teams, but due to the marvelous agility of the late Jack Proud. Jack was on the ladder as it was coming of! the truck and when it touched the pole he was almost at the top. Jack afterwards served in the South African and Great Wars and passed away a. few years ago.

"Scoop" Ross of the Amherst News and the faster spirit of mid-

for the past three years, was aur- prised and delighted with the Char- lottetown Rangers. He could hard- ly believe a midget team could ex- hibit such skill in passing and illi- essc of the game. “They showed more insight into the fine points of hockey." said Mr. Ross. “than any team that played in Amherst this year barring the Wolverines." ‘rho Amherst mldgeg team were winners of a five team league there and were undefeale.‘ this year. The next big battle between the teams will be at Charlottetown Forum. March 22nd.

Among the attractions at the 1n- tematlonal figure ekatlm carnival at Madison Square Garden is Oscar L. Richard. eighty years old, who hoe been winning trophies for fig- ure skating for upwards 0f 03 years. His first prize was won at a rink on the site of the present Ritz Oar- leton Hotel.

Chabot Surprised On Achieving Hockey Greatness - Shore Re turns to Old Form.

(By Elmer Dulmsge) (Canadian Pzess Staff Writer) (or. By Guardian's Special Wire) ‘IORONIO, March Iii-Perhaps the most surprised member of the new Canadian Press All-Star Na- tional Hockey Ieague team is Lorne Chabot. The moat casual and, with- al pleased, might be Eddie Shore and the most relieved lhrl Scibert.

And he was getting better all the time. This was to be his year, it was agreed. Yet Seibert almost failed w reach the all-star division.

On the same Chicago team Gord- iner played for, except that Lionel Conacher and Roger Jenkins are missing from the defence, the lank port Arthur veteran has virtually won the Vesina Trophy for having the fewest goals scored against him.
