O'Ma1ley may decide to go along without a' general manag . split- ting R.loirey's old duties among two or more men now in the organiza- tion. lresco Thompson, farm dir- ector. and Harold Roettger. public- ity director, are the most likely candidates. o'Malley is expected to take an active part.

Nobody would " s the status of manage Burt Shotton other than to say that he did not neces- sarily go with Rickey.

In Bertow. l"la.. Shotton said: "I'd -be glad to be back."

Pee Wee Reese, Dodger short- stop, is a good managerial candid- ate if shotton is replaced.

There is a chance Rickey might step out of baseball for a radio or television offer. He was not defin- ite about that matter.

"I'm leaving tonight to attend a meeting of the board of directors at Ohio Wesleyan." said Rickey. "rhen I'll attend a baseball meet- .ing in Cincinnati Tuesday repre- senting the National League.

The fact that Ciiarlottetown's entry in Big Four hockey com- petition is at the moment over- shadowing other local hockey activities, local officials are not forgetting the many other groups who in the past few years have

been holding the spotlight and keeping the sport alive in the Province.

Groups that have been annually active during the past number of years. are all expected to be oper- ating again ihis season, although naturally enough. there are bound to be some changes due to local participation in senior ranks. The Department of Physical Fitness. which has been the big factor in organizing and keeping the vari- ous leagues rolling, are hoping to continue their extensive program of the past few years in minor and intermediate league divisions.

O O O

This means that interscholastic, Pee Wee. Bantam. Midget and juvenile groups will be battling it out again this season for divisional and provincial honors, while in- tenmedisie A and B groups will also be active. It will be some time yet before these groups will be organized and ready to commence their regular schedules. but will promise plenty of action when the time comes. .

Whether or not the City League, which has highlighted activities here for a. number of years. will operate in its same capacity. is not known at the moment. but it is understood that a Services Garri- son League is in the offing. The two leading student bodies, Saint Dun.stan's University and Prince of Wales College will in every probability be competing again in their respective intercollegiate competitions.

The most definite news at the moment. is that the Charlotte- l0Wn Nbelweit Club will sponsor I, lam 111 lunior competition. Of- ficials of the Club stated yester- day that they will hoid a meet- ill! at the Travel Bureau this eve- ning at five o'clock to discuss their Plans regarding the formation of such a team. All those interested are invited to attend the meeting, particularly those players who are 01 iunior age and wish to try out for the team.

Outside of one or two i depend. GM terms. such as Prince of Wales WW6 W0 years ago. when they iced ii strong team that were run- 'W'3'1l'D for the Maritime title in the junior division. there has been no regular league to participate in. There was of course a reason for it. Most of the boys who amp up through the junior ranks prior 90 W19 WIT. had graduated into sen- ior brackets. Most of these boys had learned their hockey from the divs of the Big Four here. But when that folded up, there was lit- tle left to guide the new crop of youngsters in the art of the game. True. ii number of public spirited sportsmen and ex-players did their bit in coaching and helping the youngsters along to their best of their ability,

C.A.H.A. Conlirms Major Hockey Series This Year

By Jack Sullivan (Canadian Press Staff Writer) Remember that super-duper Ma-

jor Hockey Series for Selected senior teams that was adopicd, and then promptly ditched. by "W Canadian Amateur Hockey As- sociaticn last summer? Well,. it is very much alive and kicking. although a bit dog-earcd from its original proposals.

And it took the c. A. H. A. iusr three months and two days to make their (urn-about-face ol- iiclal. It seems they ”forgot" to make the official announcement when the decision was taken last July 24 in Toronto.

This Major Series as it is known has been kicked around by the Association officials in the Mari- times, Ontario and Western Can- ads the last couple of months but no indication was given by the top brass that the thing was on. That is, until today.

It remained for secretary-mam ager George Dudley of Midland. Ont., to clear the air. Just re- turned from Europe, Dudley said in a telephone interview from his home the series "definitely is on.” President Doug Grimston of New Westminster. B.C., queried on sta- tus of the Major Series the last month. declined to say anything until Dudleyis return to Canada. The last official word on the series was issued the night of July 24 after the C. A. H. A. ex- ecutive met Clarence Campbell. National Hockey League president. A joint statement said the scheme had been "deferred for the pre- sent." A couple of hours later, the amateur body's executive met again, decided to go ahead with the series - and kept mini about t

The big change is that players in the series from the Cape Bre- ton. Maritimes. Quebec, Ontario

!and Western Canada Leagues will

not be under contract. Originally. terms called for a minimum salary of 91.000 a year to all players in the series and various waiver and draft clausesglmiiar to N. H. L. contracts.

The C. A. H. A. executive back- ed down in a hurry and issued its "deferred" statement when Cam-p- bell pointed out that in all prob- ability the amateurs would be dealing with players who already had the finger put on them by N. H. L. teams. The contract pro- posals were dropped in the en- suing executive session.

The Major Series will carry a special trophy - an announce- ment on this is expected in a few days - thus relegsting the Allen Cup. traditional symbol of senior hockey supremacy in Canada. to a minor-league status.

From here in. the 42-year-old Allan Cup will be open to weak- slsler clubs and leagues who have been cluttering up the senior plsydowns for years with little or no hope of winning the trophy. it still remains the prize

From A Prliioo county

Bowling seems to be the only active sport 'at'present in Surn- merside. We havent been in the alleys lately, but we un nothing of a sensational nature has transpired as yet. If some boylikr rolls a 400 and becomes the first one to get his name on the shield of the "400 Club" we promise to let you know about it.

A hardwood floor is belni 1114 at the R. C. A. 1'. basketball couxi and when this work is finished the court will be one of the finest in the Maritimes. No doubt the island League will be getting un- der way soon after that. We were talking to Ray Keenan. sponsor of Ray's Millionaires. and he says nothing definite has been done in Charlottetown as yet. Some of his best boys will not be available for play this year, he says. but he hopes there will be eome young fellows coming up to take their places.

The Summerside High School teams, both boys and girls, will regret to hear that their coach. Jack Murphy. has been posted to Aylrner, Ontario. Jack was a great help to the studenta' teams, and was never too busy to help the youngsters along. Jack will be missed in the realm of baseball too. He was the first baseman of the Curran dc Briggs ' ' s. Maritime champs. and played his very best baseball in the series with the Charlottetown Knights of Columbus. and with the St. John Kinsmen. Jack expressed regret at leaving the town. "Every. one treated me swell here,” he said, "and the town grows upon a person. The longer you're here. the better you like it."

Hockey exclteme t in Summer- slde centres around our amazing Islanders so far. There is absolute- ly no talk of local endeavour as yei.' The "Rlnkless Town of the Mariilmes" hits little background to inspire enthusiasn for begin- ning plans for the winter's hoc- key, but no doubt something will be done. at least for minor hockey before Christmas rolls around. The Kinsmen have always looked after that department, and done it very efficiently, so we leave the future of the klds' hockey in their capable hands.

in order to make this column a respectable length, we have com- posed a little song entitled "The Big Four Polka". It is sung to the air of "l'he Beer Barrel Polka” and we think with a little patience you can make the words fit that popular song. Try it on your man- dolin. A little poetic license. please. on the pronunciation of "interested".
