Over Moncton

(c. r. by" Guardian's Special Wtrel

MONCTON, Nov. 2'l—Saint John Beavers defeated Moncton here tonight 2-1 in the second of a series of pie-hockey league games, the deciding goal being scored by Vince Livingston, fleet left winger of the visiting team in the third period when he ' trapped the Moncton forwards in Saint John territory and o ‘ , "‘ the Moncton pack to the goal.

Murphy opened the scoring in the first period when he raced in fast to scoop Nadeaws rebound into the Moncton cage, and George Appleby tied the score for Mone- ton a few minutes later on a com-

bination plhv with Yvon Gould and Len LeBlanc. The game was featured by a

somewhat bitter argument in the second period when Bill Walker, former Maritime big four defence- man who is coaching the Saint John squad, refused to leave the ice when penalized bv Referee Cy Taylor for slashing Bill Burden. Moncton defenoeman. He disputed the referee's decision and another five minutes was added and then refused to go to the hoosegow.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2‘l—E8r1 Bei- bert, rugged New York Ranger de- fence star, came to terms with Manager Lester Patrick today and signed his 1935-36 contract, there- by ending one of the longest hold- out records in National Hockey League history.

Terms reached were not an- nounced but Eleibert had refused to sign a contract offering him $8,000 which was reported to be a substantial cut over the salary he received last season when he was chosen for the right defence position on the Canadian Press all-star team.

Manager Patrick reported Sei- bert was in fine condition but that -the Kitchener star would not play in the intra-city game against New York Americans Tuesday night. He will however, don the Ranger uniform for the Chicago Black Hawk game tonight.

Paid At "Old Glory Sa le

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.--Prices in the Old Glory auction of trotters and pacers soared today as new- comers to the sulky sport, lerl by 22- year-old John P. Scripps of San Dlego,_ Calif., vied with veteran trainers and owners in the battle of bank rolls.

De Sota, son of Peter Volo and from Dr. Ogaden M. Edwards’ Wal- nut Hall Form, sold for $7.500 and 11 other- potential champions went for $1,000 or more. In all. 86 head went. under the hammer. They brought a total of $92,150, an aver- age of $644, which far exceeded yes- terday's figures when B3 yeariings were knocked down for $36,507. Paul Bowser, Boston wrestling promoter and owner of the Fair Oaks Stable, was the successful bidder for De Sota in a contest with Waiter Cox, veteran Goshen, N. Y. trainer. The price of $7.500 was the highest paid for a yearling at the Old Glory since Calumet Dick went for $13,500 some five years ago.

Scripps paid $2,250 for Paramount and $1,050 for Princess Abigail. The former was sired by Peter the Brewer and the latter by Truax.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26—(A.P.)- Searching for another trotter cap- able of following in the footsteps of Greyhound, winner of the Ham- bletoniaxi last August, E. J. Baker, St. Charles. I1l., inn keeper, made one foray into the auction ring here today.

He came out with Princess Mar- ina, one of the best bred yearlings ever to go under the hammer of‘ the famed Old Glory sale of light harness horses.

With four outstanding owners and trainers entering into the spirited bidding for the prize of the three-day sale, Baker was for- oed to go to $7.000 before he led the Princess out of the ring.

Consigned to the sale by Dr. Ogden M. Edwards’, Walnut Hall Farm, of Donerail, Ky., Princess Marina came by her high position rightfully. She was sired by Peter Volo out of Margaret Arion and is a full sister to the Protector and the Marchioness. To horsemen this means much, as both the Protector and the Marchloness hung‘ up records of 1:59 1-4 while the latter won the 1932 renewal of the Hainbletonian.

The Princess will join Baker's powerful stable trained _ by Sep Palin oi‘ Indianapolis, which in- c'udes the speedy Greyhound.

Jltogether 35 yearlings and horses in training paraded before the upwards of 2.000 horsemen. They brought a total of $36,507, an average of $440. '

‘TORONTO, Nov. 2'l—0ut of w unusually hot three-front gridiron scramble, which led to the $81116 finalists as last year after all, came the 1935 Canadian Press All-East- em football roams tonight with the old story that the Interpmvinciai

in this sector. Olnly outside the Big Flour circles made the first team.

Bobby Coultor, masterful little quarterback of University of To- ronto's fine team and the mesive Ormond Beach, Bernie's 230 pound dynamiter from Kansas, were voted Ill-Eastern recognition for the first time. The best that other college and 0. R. F. U. stars could do was the second team.

Not in any of the previous three All-Star Eastern teams did the selecting sports writers and coaches pick a de ence of such quality and at the same time a first team with every element for diversified at- tacking. And never before did they find it necessary to discard so‘ many outstanding performers in W612i! position. . '-

They put Ted Morris, Argonauts’ "perfect player" and‘ captain at flying wing; Huck Welch of Ham- ilton Tlgers and Abe Ellowltz of Ottawa Roughrlders in the offen-

Beach at ‘secondary defence half. It so happens that Morris, Eliow- itz and Beach, in particular, are celebrated as defensive players.

On the second. team's half line were Johnny Iicrraro of Hamilton, Hugh Stirling o.’ Samia lmperials, Joe Connolly of U. oi’ T. and burly Pat Ryan of Montreal. This‘ ll n backfield that has tremendous ball- advancing powers in each depart- ment from the accurate-passing Ferraro to the fleet, pass-catching Connelly.

Kept off the All-Eastern slate were other smashing performers, notably RockyParsaca of Sarah; Johnny Munroand Harry sunshine or Queen's, Hugh Marks of U. of

Stan O'Neill of Ottawa. Parsaca, whose comeback has been a feat- ure of the Imperial drive towards another Canadian championship, is a leading candidate for honorable mention. ,

Only two out of 26 selectors in Montreal, Ottawa, Kingston, To- ronto, Hamfton, London and Sar- nia failed to place Eliowltz on the first team. Big Abe, brilliant lead- er of a moderately successful Roughrlder loam, came closer than any other player to being accord- ed a unanimous calL. It marked his second consecutive selection.

Welch, whose great burst of scor- ing featured Hamilton's Big Four victory, was given 21 votes and Beach 20. Only two others achieved 20 or more, Tommy Burns of Argos getting exactly that number for middle wing and Wes Cutler of Ar- gos polling 22 for outside. Both were outstanding stars of the scul- ler machine.

Demotion was on the books for Sarniws Hugh (Bummer) Stirling. one of the best punters and all- round halfbacks in the country. Stirling was on the first 1934 All- Eastem team and he is as great a player this year as ever. But he hasn't worked as hard, plunged as effectively, because he hasn't need- ed to. selection of Coulter, acknowledg- cd to be the best quarterback and one hf the best. ball-carriers in the East, was at the expense of Ab Box. former Argonaut. punter who joined Balmy Beach this fall in the hope that the Toronto cast-end club

Box was at the helm, they had a chance.

The equal of Stirling, Wclch or any of them at kicking, Box achiev- ed remarkable succem in forward passing until he was injured laic in the campaign. He was in bed when the Imperials crushed the bcarhcs in thc two-game O. R. F. U. play- off, but he had shown enough to earn Ali-Ezviem recognition for the first time.
