Irvin To Leave Lineup Unchanged As Canadiens

Meet Chicag

By W. R. whestley rnnadian Press staff writer MONTREAl.,, tCP)-Coach Dick Irvin sent his Montreal Canadiens through a brisk skating and shoot- lng drill Monday and then an- nounced that the same team that overcame Chicago Black Hawk: 3-0 Saturday night will face the Hawks again here Tuesday night. That means that a big share of the load in this deciding seventh

mine of the Stanley Cup semi- l'nals will be carried by rookie gnalic Jacques Piante and three

"The boys were really digging in at practice and showed lots of spirit. If we play the same kind of game we did in Chicago we shniild win.

"The injury to Gerry dispelled all thoughts of using him. I had giv- en it consideration because Gerry had settled down and was looking good after his little crackup and nervousness following our three losses. He was the most relieved- looking player you ever saw and he was going great in practice. But

again Jacques was doing a real job too." Irvin said he thinks the team

that wins tonight and moves on to the big final against Boston Bruins "will win on its merits."

”I think. and certainly I hope. the breaks will play no deciding part. It's about time they disap- peared from this series. That Bos-

The Halifax Atlantics came out razor sharp last night to win the first game of their M.M.l-LL. finale against the Islanders. The Atlantics didn't have to be as sharp as they

were to defeat the Charlottetown team. The Islanders were defin- itely off-color and had one of their worst nights of the year. Usually an aggressive team the Islanders failed to throw a half dozen body checks througlioiit the contest al- though they drew their full quota of penalties in a game that was featured by poor officiating. . 0 .

Murph Chamberlain. was dis- appointed in the showing of the. team but gave the Atlantlcs full i-rctiit. for the win. "we didnt have team playing hoc-

reasons why the Islanders showed

such poor form here. First many of

the boys have colds Hub Bcaudry and Bob Gray were both very sick over the weekend. Yesterday at

number of the players were given

penicillin to shake off their colds. About the only player not affected is Larry Travis.

. . . The second reason is that tough game against the Miners on Sat- urday. Chuck Hoidaway blamezl the defeat on the fact that the players reached R climax during the Glace Bay series and that the

game last night seemed like an

anti-climax. The problem now is to get. them in shape for Wednes- day night. The boys are freely

blaming themselves for their poor

showing and row that things will

be much different on Wednesday. . . .

George Mcf.agan t.urned in a strong game back on defense for the Islanders while up front Lyle Wiseman. Charlie I-Ioldaway and Marcel Clements played effective hockey. Wiseman saw extensive service being used on defense while. the Islanders played with the man advantage and Lyle. was probably the best man the Island- ers had on the ice. I-le engaged in a short. scrap.wlth Doug MacPhee late in the game and although the hoys exhibited plenty of anger there were few punches landed. l.arry Ti'avis displayed a very sportsman-like gesture in the third period when he went to consider- able trouble. in avoiding hitting Hughie Campbell on the head with 'the piirk. Campbell fell in front of Travis and Larry although hard pressed managed to get rid of the puck without striking the Halifax player and causing a serious in- jury. . s .

Two Halifax fans were escorted

. from the rink during the contest. i in the second period a. teen-aged

fan almost struck Joe Lepine with the puck as he threw it back on the ice. It is doubtful if the fan intended to hit Lepine but the Halifax players insisted that the boy be thrown out of the rink. In the last. period another boy about 20 years of age held onto Brklac- ich's stick in the comer. Brklscich had considerable trouble getting the stick free and when he did he rebuked the fan who retaliated by spitting on the Islanders' player. A short mix-up followed.

IDUISVLILE. IAP)'l- The cur- rent Erooklyn Dodger mystery is what happened to Russ Meyer's -fuse? .

Every1body's been waiting for the trigger-tempered pitcher from Phil- adelphia Phillies to "blow his screws”-as he puts it. But so far nothing has happened.

The problem righthander who came to the Dodgers in one of the late winter trades has now spent Q days in spring training without tossing one of his famous tant- rums.

He's had plClll) of opiportuiiities, too-but intead of obeying the im- pulse has tightened his jaw and just thrown a little more into his

pitching. Manager Charlie Dreseen is pleased with the way Meyer has

turned out. The young rigththand- er looked particularly impressive Sunday in his seven-inning stint against Milwaukee Braves, it 3-1 winning performance.

The Braves' bench jockeys were never in fineijfettle as they rodei Meyer unimercifully from the dug- out. Meyer never let himself get flustered. He just grinned back.

This is the same stormy petrel who used to blow sky high on the sligtttest. provocation.

Frequent-ly alter a game in which he was relieved, teammates would. return to their dressing quartersl to find everything in shambles-l emails and benches shattered. waste baskets broken. walls crack- cd and clothes strewn over the premises.

Naming like ll:bt. ltns happened a far at Brooklyn. Carrying out n pre-sens.-ii ....u .2 ii) devote all his energies to pit;-hiiig. Meyer has been meek as a mouse. He hasn't baited an umrpire.

Meyer had toned down consider- ably when -he came to the Dodgers but still his teammates never knew what to expect. He has been twi- ting along handsomely with Jackie Robinson. with whom Russ had his

last. big nhuharli.

Back in May. 1951. Meyer andy Robinson almost came to blowsl after Meyer dropped the ball. PEI- mitting Robinson to score on a. run-down play on which slriere was some bumtping.

In 1949 Meyer was suspended. for a blast. at an um-pire artery Robinson stole home. And in 1950p he was suspended again for "c-heat-i ing" umpire Al Barlick and throw- ing a ball at the ump back-handed.

overly-strict: officiating. Many of the penalties for both teams were undeserved and Ronnie Hurst in particular was the victim'of one very chesip penalty. Hurst was still in the sinners bin when the At.- lantics scored their fourth goal as the result of the call. In the last period the officials called them equally as cheap for tile Atlanties. The referees in their anxiety to prevent trouble stoppgd the play almost as soon as two players came together along the boards. . . .

Coach Dagger Maclleiil of the At- lantics expectsawugh series yet. Dugger was outstandingly happy over the impresslveshowing of his team but. is not over-confident. He has ord- ersd another practise for this at- ternoon st one o'clock. He stated last. night that he has kept his team working hard during their enforced lay-off .of the last couple of weeks.

LAPRIL 7 1953.. Admission To- Be Increased For Finals Games

For the final series with the Halifax Atlantics, the price of admission at the Charlottetown Forum will be raised. it was an- nounced yesterday by the ex- ecutive of the Islanders Hockey Club. This increase was estab- lished a year ago. and very gra- ciously accepted by the hockey public.

The reason. of course. is the financial pressure on the Is- iandera' executive. who have had great worries in this regard all season but especially so in the past several yeeks. This condition was much aggravated last week when no league game was play- ed. The Islanders' executive of course are just the agents of the public. and feels you would act in a similar way were you in their position.

The spirit of full co-operation and support is assured so that player commitments can be car-

ried out. It may be added that

this additional charge will go

completely to the club. -,..A-...V-A

Team'Tossed Out Of league Because Of Two Negroes

G-RiEENVILI.tE., ,.Ml5S... At?) The Hot Springs. Ark.. baseball team was tossed out of the Cotton Svtates League Monday because of its refusal to release two Negro players.

Meeting in a lengthy executive session. the class C league direc- tors terminated Hot sprlngs' fran- chise ”slnce it is a matter of sur- vival of the league." I

In a prepared statement. league president A. Haranay said:

"since the Hot springs club has assumed a position from wh-iciri it refuses to recerie. which would dis- rupt: the Cotton States League and cause its dissolution, which position havt-iig been assumed without the courtesy of a eague discussion and since it is a matter of survivail of the league. or trans- fer of the Hot Springs franchise. this action was taken."

Leslie O'Connor. a Chicago law- yer and former general manager of Chicago White Sox, termed the directors' action "the most. gris- vous error ever committed in base- ball." He dld not elaborate.

O'Connor accompanied the Hot Springs delegation here to "assist the club in any way he could."

Hot. Siprings representatives said no further action was planned un- til the club's directors have been advised.

HALIFAX. April 6 -- (unsold?- Tbe Halifax Atlantic: dlqalsyed near perfect. form here tonight in outskstlng and outplaylng pthe Obgf t Islanders for a; con- v-inclnc 5-0 win in the opuilng guns of the belt of nlne series for the Marltkne Mslor Hockey League championship. The Atlantics. after getting away to a slow start in the opening five minutes. nod up with a flashy posing and pressure attack to keep the tired Idanders out of contention during the first and second periods.

The Halifax drew scored one goal in the first period and ripped through with four more in the pen- alty inflected second period to put the game out oi! reach of the Is- landei-s,

some 4,500 fans were in attend- ance,

Bil-ly Ford opened the scoring for I-Iaiiifax while the Islanders played two men short in the first period. Billy Watson. Billy Goold. Huglhle Campbell and Doug MacP'hee count- ed for the I-Iallgonians in the mid- dle period, The superior skating of the Ntlantlcs told the story offa- night's game. The long rest during the league semi-finals appeared to sharpen the Halifax club as they clicked on in every department.

Pensllle; Costly

Penalties served to ruin the Is- landers in the firm two periods. Referees O'Donaghue and Kelly called even the most minor in- fractions and tihere were several times wihen two Islanders sat in the penalty box.

Halifax scored three times while the Islanders were short handed. Twice the puck took a bad bounce on the soft ice and eluded the agile A1 Ml-liar who turned in a good game although beaten five times. Islanders started fast. in the first period with Hurst firing the first shot on the Halifax net at the 30 second mark. Successive penalties to Gould and Hayes of Halifax left the Atlantlcs two men short but the Islanders came close only once when Bob Gray drilled a low shot from close in that Macltdeekln stopped with his skate.

Kenny Lnsifman tested Al Mlllar for the first time at the 5.40 mark on a 30 foot shot. The shot marked a turn in the tide of the play as the Auantlcs took over and con- trolled matters for the rest of the period,

Bill Ford scored the only goal of the opening 2!) minutes while the Islanders played two men shy. Gus- taveson in the penalty box for in- terference and Brklacich sitt.i.ng out a roughing penalty. Ford tipped Bloom's low screened shot from in- side the blueline. The puck bounc- ed on the ice before hopping past Al Miller. Lyle Wlseman almost evened the count at the 18 minute mark. He took a short pass from Walter Pawlshyn and hit the goal post with I 10 foot drive.
