"Bucko" Trainor leads Vriing

The program ballot vote for the

most popular Islanders player be- ing sponsored by Jack Cameron's Men's Wear Store took a big jump during the past week when most -of the players all moved up over the 100 vote bracket with Char- lottctow'n's own Wes "Bucko" Trainor show-ing out in front with a total of 170 votes.

Johnvny Dufohak, who was lead- ing at the end of last week's count, was still in the top bracket with second position with 159, while his fellow dcfenceman. husky Phil Vitale was in third spot just one vote behind.

Darmy Horeck is in fourth place with 138, followed closely by a host of others for the various positions down the line. The official count was taken by independent scrutin- Nrs at Jack Cameron's store on Kent Street yesterday morning.

There is still plenty of time t.o an yet for fans to drop in their votes for their favourite perform- ers, and the race will no doubt take more changes before the special

NORTH SYDNEY. N. S.. Feb. i2 - (CP) - Lowly North Sydney Victories unleashed a powerful scoring punch here tonight to whip Glace Bay Miners 7-2 in a Cape Breton Major Hockey League game.

Northside's star forward Laurie Petersen regained the league's scoring leadership, shooting two goals. Petersen had shared the league scoring rare with Dunc Maclntyrc or S3-dnry Millionaires.

It puts, the Islanders in it. pretty sound spot for the top position. The only way they could lose it would be not to win four or less of their next eleven starts while Hali- fax win all theirs. Even if Island- ers didn't win another game for the rest of the schedule, Halifax would still have to win nine of their next 12 starts to top Island- ers out for the first place position, which is not very likely to happen. not if local fans know their Is- landers.

O O 0

Neither third place Saint John Beavers or the cellar dwelling Moncwn Hawks can possibly over- take the Islanders for the leader- ship either mathematically or otherwise. Beavers have 63 points at the present time with 12 games to play so that all wins could give them in points at best. while the Hawks who have only 36 points up to last Saturday are completely out of the picture with 11 games left on their agenda. Tie games could make a few alterations to this figuring, but to avoid going into another page of copy we'll leave well enough alone, and let the individual figure it out for himself if his curiosity gets the better of him. .

Seattle last week whipped Can- ucks twice, 4-1 and 5-4. This car- ried them to a one-point margin over Vancouver.

New Westmlnister Royals. in front nearly all season, are likely to finish there, with Victoria Cougars second. All the boys in the hot-stove league are niakl-ig their all-star defence choices this way: Babe Pratt, Royals plsyins COi1('ll. right defence: Roger Leger, Cougars playing coach. left de- fence. .

Portland Eagles and Tacoma Rockets are disputing third place. Both have 53 points. 14 behind New Westminster and seven behind Vic- torlri.

That takes up the four playoff spots. Seattle is seven points be- hind Portland and Tacoma and Vancouver is eight points behind. with 16 and 15 games left, re- spectlvcly. they are going to have to do some scratching to make it.

wibh their unassuming position. Canucks persist in playing their best hockey against the leading Rcyals. In two games last week, Vancouver was nipped 5-4 at the wire but .rebounded Saturday night for o 7-5 victory on New Westmin- ster ice.

Scattle also measured Royals, 4-0, last night, the first time Pratt's strongmen had- been whitewashed since Oct. 24.

Portland moved into a third- place tie with Tacoma last night by landsliding Victoria '7-2. It was hot- rod Victoria's first loss in eight games.

An almost-weekly event occur- red Saturday night when Canuck coach Murph Chamberlain direct- ed his team from a second-row bench for the last two periods.

He was elected for jumping onto the ice. It -was the fourth time he has been given the heave-tho since coming to Vancouver from char- lottetown Islanders in November.

Kenny Uilyot. New Westminster's slim, trim centre, and Joe Bell, Seattle left winger, are tied in the scoring derby. Each has 06 points: Ullyot 32 goals and 34 assists; Bell 41 goals and 25 assists. Bell is the loop's top goal-getter.

Toronto Argonauts To Get Watches

TORONTO. Feb. 12 -- (cp) - Toronto Argonauts are going to get their wrist watches after all - but not from the city they reprg. senied in the Grey Cup final.

Previously the Dominion foot- ball champions declined with thanks a aulaestlon that the city present them with 5100 engraved watches. They declined after a Board of Control argument over the question. .

Now Jeweller Kan Ostrander of Toronto, who started engraving the watches upon receipt of a prenu- turc order from the city clerk, says that Bob Moran. Argo pre- sident, has agreed to accept the watches from the jeweller person- ally. Each will be engraved only with the name of the recipient.

Flames shot to the ceiling of the low structure and in a short time the building was beyond saving. It was built last year and was aboizit ten or fifteen feet square, divided in two by a partition, one section for the boys and the other for the girls.

The Mlscouche fire brigade re- sponded promptly but was unable to put the flames out.

No one was in the dressing room at the time but, some clothing be- longing to the children was hang- ing up inside and was also lost. it is understood that a collection has been taken up to defray the cost of the lost. coats and jackets. Loss was estimated at about 3150.00-S

Sport Echoes , From Prince county-

The Borden Nationals are virt- ually running away with the East Prince Hockey league. They are assured of first place now, and this, of course. means a bye into the play-off finals. The crystals and R..C.A.l". will probably slug it out to see who will meet the Ferry Towners for the league champion- ship. The three teams are pretty evenly matched despite Borden's long lead, and the play-offs are almost bound to be close, with all three clubs having a chance to come out on top.

0 O I

The Crystals have ' missed the steadying influence of Plum Mac- Donald bchind the blue-line since the Charlottetown rear- guardsman succumbed to an at- tack of the tflu. MacDonald is ex- pected to be playing again come play-off time. Joe Bernard has added a lot of strength up front and when Gordie Kelly gets back in the line-up, the Crystals will give Borden pldnty of trouble to eke out a victory. The R..C.A.F. is more of a question mark. some of their boys have been posted and they are never sure of being able to tee a full-strength squad be- cause of night flights which take some of the players away.

The summer.-ids Legion Mid- gets played their first game Friday night, beating Kensington Midgets 'l to 4. Expected to be weak this year after winning the Maritime championship in 1950, the boys may fool us all. They will probably not go to the heights last. years team scaled but they didn't look too much like pushovers in their game against Kenatngton. which, by the way, has a real fighting ag- gregation too. Vance Harris, who played I little with the Midgets last year, though still of bantam age. looks like the star of the iwl sextet .He was in every scoring play except one, getting three goals and three assists. Emmett Trainor is coaching the team.

I O O

Lippy Gaudet's Bantams blank- ed the Kensington boys 7 to 0. They are a hard-hitting, fast- skating bunch of kids and if they don't catch colds from sitting so often in the penalty box may really go places this year. 01 course. Charlottetown may give them an argument, but if you tell this to their manager. Lippy Clau- det, he looks at you as if the guards were closing in on you to take you back to the place where you must have come from. When he recovers sufficiently from his astonishment, he wants to bet. He will give you almost any odds you ask for. so if there are any gentle- men in the audience who like- to take chances on long shots, look UP?! uo. .
