Abbies Edge Airmen 3-0 In Opening Game For Island Football Chiship

The Charlottetown Abbies won the opening game of their football series with the Summerside Air Force by downing the airmen 3-0 in a hard fought game on Mem- orial Field Saturday afternoon.

George Scantlebury, hustling picking quarter of the Abbies scor- ed the only try of the game as he crossed the line at the 15:25 mark of the first half.

Scantlebury picked the ball from a. two-man scrum about 12 yards from the Alrmenls line and squirm- ed his way past four Air Force players for the winning points. The attempted convert from fair- ly well out was missed.

The game was the first in the first in the best of three series for the Island Senior Championship and the right .to meet the Saint John Mariners in the N. B.-P. E I. playdowns. The second game in the Island series will be played here next Sunday afternoon.

Saturday's game featured hard tackling by the Abbies and good broken field running and dribbling by the airmen. The airmen were particularly effective with their feet as they booted for long gains.

Play opened with the airmen kicking to the Abbles. The City team with the wind on their backs

forced play throughout the half R. C. A. F., forwards, Noel, and their efforts were rewarded Rune, McNaughton. Hughes, with Scantlebury's try. Heel-outs Money, Sutherland: backfield,

by the scrums during the half were about even.

In the second half the airmen reversed proceedings and forced their'way into Abegweit territory. They made a sustained attack on the Abbies line in the dying min- utes of play but the Abbles stub- bornly held their ground.

The Abbies scrllm outheeled their opponents in this half but the Air Force backfield nailed the Abbies before they could organize their attacks.

Claude Fields and Elmer Blanch- ard played heads up games for the Abbies. Fields tackled hard and kept on top of the play all after- noon while Blanchard tackled vlc- iously and kicked well.

For the Airmen fullback Blisset was a standout. Johnny Bradley, who played for the Abbies last year, was the alrmcn's picking quarter and turned in a good game.

Dr. Frank Jclks handled the whistle and turned in an admirable job. y

Slavem stayed on the concession, got a small boiler and hoist and was able to take out enough gold to keep him going and thereby doing the "representation" work required.

Siaven was a good partner, hu- morons and easy to get along with He never looked for the "light end" in my work which was to be done. He was full of Missouri-aphorlsms and canny wltticisms. His one weak- nes was an overweening tendency to acquisitiveness, He would freeze onto any useful tool that was loose and had the appearance. He often said "By cricky. I'm just like a wood rat - always carrying some- t-hing home." Consequently he had A good supply of working tools.

We had the luxury of a large kerosene lamp with five gallons of oil. The other prospectors had to be satisfied with wax candles. had a book of Shakespeare's plays and tried to read some of them at night. In the depth of winter it was nearly all darkness.

There were only four hours day- light (10 till 2 o'clock). After the strenuous work in the open cold air one experienced a healthy phys- ical fatigue and it didn't take much reading to produce mental faltrlgue, and one's eyelids would soon glue together.

After I had left the north several years. Slaven got nvariclous and considered that he should have my one tenth interest. and proceeded to "advertise" me out for the alleg- ed failure to pay my share of the "representation" work. As a mat- ter of fact he was winning on the concession and doing quite well fin- ancialiy - the working of the claim was sufficient representation.

I had some good friends "at court". Jack Boyle, an old country Irish boy, had lately been appoint- ed mining recorder at Circle City. We were friends on Mineral Creek and in Dawson.p'l'he advertisement ran four times in the Fairbanks. Alaska. News. The law required five editions.

Albert Forrest, formerly a Que- bec speed skating champion and Dawson News employee. --also a partner in the concession. wrote me from Juneau (on the coast). with the result that my interest was properly established. The wimle concession and all other claims on the creeks and "benches" was bought in 1931 by that great Can- lldlan mine owner, General A.D. McRae. General Meme was the head of the commlssariat of the Canadian army in World War I. -

Bennett in 1930 successfully and shut up shop the morning after the elec- tion and never went back. The cause of the sudden severance is still I. mystery to the Liberals. A few Conservatives may have known, but kept it "sub rosa".

(2 Pendergast) gg had heard in Fairbanks of the

Coal Creek claims and set his plane down in the eddy of the Yukon at the mouth of the small creek.

It was quite an ..dvance in trans- portation from Oct. 4th., 1906. when Slaven and I and Schmidt (road house man at Woodchopper) land- ed our small boat with a winter's provisions. We had come in so quietly that we didn't disturb a. lone wolf patiently waiting by the creek side to hook out it salmon with his paw which was unwary enough to swim near the edge.

There was four or five inches of snow on the ground. and it was a little harder for us to "pack” our eight hundred poun.s of provisions six miles up the creek to the cabin. We had to pack a rifle on each trip, irl case of running against a moose, bear or wolves.

Yukon Writers

R.ex Beach and Jack London, two of the heaviest calibre writers of the early 1900's were in the Yukon in early days. They both wrote grip- ping stories of the frontiers, and the indomitable men and women who claimed the wlldernesses for civilization and helped to reap rich harvests from sea and mine.

It is doubtful if today's "books of the month" nd "best sellers" with all their sexiness and profan- ity, will hold the minds of the read- "18 public for any length of time. The sexy drivel and blasphemy adds not a bit to their lustre and makes them nauseating 'ndeed. A vehem. ent blast of profanity adds nothing to the literary fabric. It would be more emphatic without the ex- pletlves.

I asked an Anglican minister of the Gospel what he thought of the language in some of those books of the month lately. He said, "the last one they sent me nauseated me. I wrote and told them to send no more". some readers say, "the authors are led to believe that is the kind of literature the majority want. Therefore it is fed to them in large doses.

It may well be that a. blatant minority become very vociferous on the merits of some ldbidinous story which is running the high hazard of being condemr ed by th: Legion of Deccncy and we poor fish join the parrot chorus, We lack the courage and intestinal fortitude to holler our convictions from the housetops in righteous wraith. It is passing strange how many of those literary monstrosities ever pass the censors.

The story of "Mike Mahoney" and his exploits tn the Yukon was quite a thriller. It must have been writ- ten by a "ghost writer" with a vivid imagination and the faculty of add- lngiplenty colorature. One could forgive the exaggerations if even some of the profanity was elimin- ated. I didn't happen to hear of his career during the four years I was t-hereu but naturally that doesn't Prove anything.

He might have been quite famous and still there might be quite in number who hadn't known of him. It made a-great story - barring the expletives. If memory serves right Mike said he was present at "19 BN0?-MR of "Dangerous Dan Mcarew". Most all the old timers knew that the rhyme was pure fic- tion and they wired Robert Ser- vice for corroboration.

Mike was confront with the cable meme saying Mcarew was a fig- ment of his imagination. It hap- Dened at a gathering of Yukon Pioneers in one of the coast cities.
