MONTREAL» Rb. 27—A fight. in: telni of Boston Bruins won a. close-fought National Hockey League contest 2-1 tonight from Montreal Msroons in s. game that saw ‘ririy Thompson rise to the heights to keep the Stanley Cup holders-to one 808i. armed less thsntwo minutes from. the end to rob him of a shutout. .

The win h lsted Bruins to within one point of New York Rangers in third place of the League's Amer- ican scction. Mlaroons lost a chance to take over first place in the Can- adian division and remained in sec- ond plsce, one point behind Tor- onto.

Smooth-skating Cooney Welland shot Boston into the lead midway through the first period on s. play stsrtedby Charlie Sands

Red Bcattls passed forward to the unmarked Welland after taking Sands‘ pass and the centre picked thropen side of the net. Msroons battled desperately t1’ w” the scoreless -' od for the tying- goal and Tommy German shifted bis lines around. Penalties‘ to" Eddie Shore and Roger J " almost together in the third period aided their cause but the Bruins survived without Tiny Thompson being 1n any trouble mainly because Msroons could not get an attack organized.

Bill Cowley put Boston two up at l7 minute mark when he fooled Lorne Chabot with s low shot after Sands and Jenkins had worked the puck out of the Boston end. The dark haired centre skated slowly in to fake Lionel Conacher to one side for the scoring shot.

Maroons got their only goal after Stew Evans took a penalty. On a. gang attack Herb Cain and Russ Blinoo fired the puck towards the Boston net and Bob Gracie beat Thompson from just outside the goal crease. _

A crowd of 8.000 saw Maroons take their third successive defeat with the goal that robbed Thomp- sonof his eighth shutout of the year the only marker they have scored in three games.

Jap Uprising May Aff ec t I940DIyrri pics

By Alan Gould, Associated Press Sports Edlfnr By Guardian's Special Wire)

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—The effect of the military uprising in Tokyo upon Japan's bid for the 1040 Olym- pic Games was a subject of spec- ulation in Ameircan athletic circles today, coincident with the arrival in New York of Count Henri Balllet Latour of Belgium, President of the International Olympic Committee, en route to the Orient.

Count Latour, while avoiding any comment on the present situation in Japan or its possible affect on Olympic developments, told the As- sociated Press: "I have no intention of putting on’ my visit to Japan."

The Count is going to the Orient primarily to obtain information hearing upon Japan's arrangements, already well formulated, to conduct the winter as well as summer sports in I940.

As matters stand now, Tokyo's chances of landing the next Olym- pics are i-lvalled mainly by the bid of Helsingfors, capital of Finland.

Projected informally, in the back- ground, is an idea that New York might seek the 1940 games as a fol- low-up feature to the world's fair planned here in 1930. So far, how- ever, the idea has prompted no of- ficial support or action.

Soccer Fixtures P u z z l e To English Fans

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

LONDON. Feb. 27-(6. P. Cable) -Supporters of 80 of the 88 clubs comprising the four divisions of the ‘English Football League are rack- ing their brains this week over the mystery of the missing soccer fix- tures.

Apart from the four sixth round English ciip matches down for de- cision Saturday, ncthing is known, and will not be known until late to- morrow night, about league games which claim the attention of the great majority of the clubs.

In an attempt to bring about the abolition of football pools the league has cancelled the schedule of games remaining to be played this season and will not announce Saturday's fixtures until Friday night. The public is "up in the air" as to who to cheer for and where. while leading clubs have called _a meeting In Liceds Monday when the whole question will be thrashed out. The best guess is that the ori- ginal lLst, although officially can- celled, will be adhered to. _

Held Meeting

Prince Edward Island curlers immediately held an indignation meeting at Charlottetown to pro- test the dismissal of their applica- tion and a. few days later it was admitted after the Island associ- ation assured Dominion curling of- ficials its representative team would fulfill all requirements.

The first curling club in the province - Charlottetown Curling Club-was organized February 3. 1867, with the object "to promote the game of curling”, according to the first record book. The original club had barely 10 members at its birth 49 years ago. Up to last yell! the number had grown to 60.

Executive of the first curling club in the province was as fol- lows: ..

Patron, Lieut-Gov. A, A. Mac- Donald; President, George Mar- Leod; Vice-President, John J. Davies; Chaplain, Rev. J. Car- ruthers; Secretary-Treasurer, A. A. Bartlett; Committee of Manage- ment, A. D. McKinnon and W. A. Weeks.

In November 1887 a committee consisting of George MacLeod, J. J. Davies. Rev. J. Carruthers. was appointed to draft the Charlotte-

town club's rules and regulations and 1-1. l-laszard. P. Pope, J. M. Fitzgerald, W. N, Beer and Rev. J.

ship cards. . D. B. Stewart, now the club's oldest member, with W. Hobklrk.

W. A. Weeks, J-:., and J. A. Long- worth, joined the club a few weeks after.

In December the same year tho club did its first indoor curling iii the old Excelsior skating rink. Play continued in the Excelsior rink until about i910 when it burned down.

In i011 curling was tried out on harbor ice with little satisfaction, then on ponds around the city. George Sharp, one-time superhi- tcndent of the Prince Edward Is- land Railroad, played a large part in keeping the game going in those days.

In 1913 Charlottetown Curling Club was I'd-organized and it was decided to build a. curling rink. Shares were sold in the rink and within a few months the game was established again as securely as

ever.

Prominent in the game at that time were D. A. MaoKinnon, C. l-f. Black, W, K. Rogers, A. E. Mor- rison. L. MsoMlllsn, W. A. Stewart. B. M. Davis, Dr. 8. R. Jenkins. J. M. Hunter, R. E. Mulch.

TORONTO. Feb. 27--The Can- adian women'.s Open golf champion- ship will be played over the Royal Montreal club course during the week of Sept. 14. it was announced here tonight by the Canadian ladies’ golf union.

'I'he closed tourney has been aw- arded to the Beaconsfleld c.ub, with play starting Sept. 21. Date of the annual inter-provincial team match, will be announced later.

Weston Jones were given member-

Crabbe also played important roles in the game at that time. '

The old game has continued steadily to be played since it was first introduced to Prince Edward Island.

This winter the “roarilf game" is enjoying a new lease of life in the province. In Charlottetown alone the club's membership has doubled in a. few months.

None of the Charlottetown club's records make mention of an "eight-end" during any match. But D. B. Stewart. a. member of the club since it was formed, says he remembers two or three of the "holes-in-one" of curling. ‘Although Charlottetown Curling Club played its first exhibition in 1689 with visitors from New Cal- edonia Club. Pictou, N. S., it was not until 1918 that Island curlers left the province.

In 1923 Summerside organized the second curling club in Prince Edward Island, and three years later Montague formed a third club- A few of the Montague curlers had been initiated to the game in west- ern Canada. .

one of them, "Big Jim" Macin- tyre, is skip cf the Montague leam which will represent Prince Ed- karw Island in the Dominion play, March 2-5_

The Montague curlers "don't cx- pect to win anything" iii Toronto this year. Pliilosophically, they take the view that the new curling expgflence they will acquire in the Toronto matches will benefit their little province and in time pave the way to representtatlon in the championships as good as the best-
