w_ Mglgflfl act has been a great menace to the development of such ‘ “undid standard o! hockey I8 we have in Prince County, and all m, lovers of clean Inert deeply r6- ‘M was anything should have aria-i mwoausediacordinthislieague.

At the close of the Cape ‘Pi-averse _5mlsn game played recently in xmglngton rink which ended in a on; all tie at the close of the third period, Borden, having everything to "in and notbins to lose. suddenly became anxious for overtime play, ‘lthough the first game between these (guns, played in Cape Traverse rink, also ended in a tie without overtime belnd slaved-

Qgpj mverso refused to play ov- “fling, s .1] _ ‘ant having been sa- teblished in the other tie games in this section, all of which ended with out overtime. This game, ending in a tie, gave Cape Traverse a one- point lead over Borden in the East- ern section.

Borden team took the ice and scored two goals, on an open net. 1f Borden, under M. A. H. A. rules, can legally claim this game, then, und- er the same rules, is the not the first game played in Cape Traverse illegal-not being carried overtime- and had Cape Traverse not the right to another game with Borden to de- cide the winners of the Eastern sec- tlon?

sometimes s team loses because me opposing team plays hockey of a better calibre; sometimes the cards seem st ‘ ’ against them by fate; sometimes-otherwise!

impartial fans in Prince County and elsewhere, will doubtless have no difficulty in Judging the present situation.

1t would indeed be regrettableif. in any hockey league such a splend- irl team as Cape 'I‘l'averse has prov- ed itself to be should be shelved by uriizuv or wobbly decisions of any pctly official.

As a player on one of the teams which first competed for the Mc- lran Trophy beflre it was opcri to all Prince County. I would ask the cmcials of the Prince County Long- llP lillfl of the M. A. H’. A. to publish 1 full slntcllleilt of the rrasons why

THE ABBIES STEW

Rut I claim that I am not altogether to blame because last year my work was considered very efficient and no Frill-be Wfls too high, or apparently W’ hlilh. to be passed on to mc. And this Year with my ability not im- llllrcd I was again enlplolcil as coach and did my work as usual. But in the end I believe that.tile Abbies fell down more because‘ of other Tel-Wins than they did because of my lack of conscientious coaching.

Over two thousand men, women and children crowded the Forum last evenins to witness the m: Provincial Interscholastic Indoor Ice meet, which was staged under the distinguished patronage of His Hon- or Lieut. Governor Dalton and Mrs, Dalton.

T1118 Ice Meet was one of the most successful, the most enthusias- tic and the most enjoyable ever held on Prince Edward Island; and its success last night 1a truly a high compliment to Mr. Bill Gilllspie the Prrlnioter, and also to the many hard-working officials who Cooper- ated in the "putting-over" process. It was also a magnificent tribute to the young athletes from the various schools and colleges of our Province who demonstrated to a nicely, that with training and more practice they coilld hold their own with any interscholastic competition in the Maritime Provinces.

It takes a meet of this nature to bring out. most the best material in the province-and oh boy. what a response! Ullwards of three hun- dred young aspirants answered the- call fll1d skated like Trojans in good natured, but spirited competition. Eveijvlaodyl couldn't win. and those who were not sdfortunatei in get- ting placed, wore charred with the victors.

(Vest. Kent Sclloul sent. out a band cf skalcrs last. evening that any school llmyl well be proud of. This school not only carried off inter- scholnstlc honors and the Mayor Prawsc Cup with a magnificent total oi‘ '72 points aggregate, but also have the ilnnol‘ of ilavillg as its owll. James Hattenburv; alround Moore and lifcbeod Cup winner, with a to- tal of 16 points. Rowan Fitzgerald. another West Kentel" and a sensa- tional skater, ivas second to Rattan- bilry with 15 points. These two boys are to be heartily congratulated on their stellar performances last ilight_._ Great things are expected from fliem in the future. They are champions in every sense of the word.

Outstanding among the girls ivas Zllplla Linkletter of Summerside, the Western flash who was in a class by herself last night. Her winning of the half mile, mile and quarter mile events was one of the biggest features of the evening. By winning

girl nlroulid championship, she was awarded the delicious five pound box of chocolates donated by Charlottctowlfs best sports-Ed Acorn. Mary Boswell. also of Sum- lnerside. showed up great. especially in the quarter mile, when she fill- islled second to the Linkletter girl.

Summersidc, although sending down only a small contingent. made

mlllli’ cooks will spoil any stew.

‘ttioned in political gossip for the chairmanship of the Dominion Board of Railway Commissioners, was ap- pointed to tho court of Appeal of Manitoba on the occasion of his forty-seventh birthday, July lll, 1917, a position which he has filled with distinction.

He then entered the lumber bus. lneas as a humble tally clerk, quick- ly worked his way up and gained charge of thebusiriess.

His eyes improved, his old ambit-

lllon to enter the law returned, and ‘he went back to Dalhousie, graduat. lng in 1395. He immediately began Practicing 1aw~ with the late C.
