Halifax Wins 5-1 As Moncton Hawks Blow Up In Second Period

HALIFAX, Dec. 4-- (CP)-Be- fore the smallest crowd of the season Halifax St. Mary's rees- ed to a 5-1 win over Monet n in a Maritime Senior Hockey Lea- gue game here today. It was a dull affair.

After checking the Saints to a standstill in the first period. Hawks blew wide open in the middle session and Saints whip- ped in four goals. There was no scoring in the scrambly third stanza. though St. Mary's fired 13 shots at burly Les Calvin in the Moncton cage.

The close checking style adopt- ed by Hawks held Saints at bay for nearly 30 minutes after the Halifax club shot the first goal with only 42 seconds gone in the opening chapter. But in the last 11 minutes of the middle frame. the Irish waltzed through a fu- tile Moncton defence for four goals.

In the last period Hawks had only two close in shots at goalie Eddie D'Aoust. a tight defence forcing them to shoot from well out.

The victory extended the Hall- fax undefeated skein to six games and moved them to within five points of league-leading Char- lottetown Islanders.

First goal of the game came with the contest only 42 seconds old. Danny Wilkes was the marks- man. whipping home a backhand shot after Eddie Brown had hit Colvinis pads with a whlstliniz slap shot. Loose around the net in the first few minutes. the

With Referees; Then Sees Games From Sidelines

VANCOUVER. Dec. 4 -(C P) - The Pacific Coast Hockey League is oraoking down on rough play.,

Vancouver coach Murph Cham- berlain saw two of his team's last three ga.rnes from the sidelines. Both times he was bounced from the bench. once for insulting a referee and once for pushing a referee. The insult, during a game with Seattle. cost him 3'75 in fines. Canucks. incidentally. won the game. Chamberlain until last month was coach of Charlotte- town lslanders in the Maritime Major League.

The Saturday night Victoria- Taccma. game. which Cougars won, erupted in a first-class riot in the second period. The league announ- ced the setback will cost three players 525 each.

The downstairs clubs in the cir- cuit finally are making their play toward recognition.

The defending champion New Westminster Royals still hold down top spot. with Portland Eagles folowing. but the week just past was a rough one for the Lea- gue leaders.

Victoria Cougars started last week's campaign with a 4-1 victory over the Royals for New West- minster's third straight setback. It was also the third time this sea- son they have lost to the Cougars.

Later. Victoria spurted in the final seconds to gain a. 2-2 tie with Portland. And Sunday night the Cougars battled to another draw. this time a 5-5 game with Seattle Ironmen. the cellar team.

Ironmen. meanwhile, finally are playing on home ice. The Seattle Arena. was closed until last week. When it opened New Westminster spoiled the homecoming. winning

But Ironmen came back to whip Portland 4-2 for their fourth vic- tory of the season.

Another stated that it was harder on the players playing the overtime periods and was of- ten the cause of holdups in train schedules when teams are on the road all the time in a long 70- game schedule.

Islanders) Club Elects y New Directors At Large.

Enthusiastic

Probably the largest hockey meeting to be held in this City for a great many years took place at the Clover Club last night. Some 300 interested hockey fans attended a special meeting of the P. E. Islanders Hockey Club, Inc. to elect a permanent board of directors to replace the provision- al executive which has been carrying on the Club's business ever since it was formed earlier this year.

The meeting was presided over by ghe Provisional President, Ma- jor”T. B. Rogers. who in the opinion of those attending. made an excellent job of conducting the meeting in a successful and progressive manner,

The new Director: elected at last night's meeting. who will carry on the business tiffairs of the Club until its first annual meeting to be held on the second Tuesday of June. 1951. are as follows:-Major T. B. Rogers, Wil- liam Boyles. Clarence MacGinn. Arthur Clark. Harry Mclnnis, Dr. R. F. Seaman. Dr. F. C. Dougan and Somerled Tralnor.

The selection was made from 15 nominations. some of which wer brought in by an appointed nom nating committee of W. E. Scantlebury. A. W. Rogers and Somerlcd Trainor, the remainder being nominated by the meeting from the floor. Under the Club Constitution. all persons possess- ing holding seats are members of the corporation. and those pre- sent cast their ballots at last night's election.

Among a number of others who declined their nominations in the election of new directors. Mr. W. J. "Bill" Brown. Provis- ional Vlce-President of the Club said "as Manager of the Char- lottetown Forum. I don't feel that I should carry on as a member of the executive. because in mat- ters of business between both the Club and the Forum. it would but me in a very difficult posi- tion in reaching a decision."

The first meeting of the new Directors will be held tomorrow evening at five o'clock to elect their executive officers of Presi- dent. lst Vice-President, 2nd Vice-President. Secretary. Treas- urer etc.

Speaking on behalf of the out- going provlsional executive as its Presldenth Major Rogers stated "we have no apologies to make for the manner in which the busi- ness and activities of the Club have been carried on since its formation. We have provided Is- land hockey fans 'with a team

,jhat has been publicised from coast to coast who have never failed yet to make headlines. We brought you a good coach. Murph Chamberlain to get the hockey team formed and rolling. and since 'his going. have obtained an equally good coach. Leo Lamour- eux. to carry on the fine start that the Islanders have had in the Maritime Senior Hockey Lea- gue."

"The purpose of this meetlns tonight," he stated "is to form a permanent organization. and we are proud to have been a part of it."

speaking later in the meeting again. Major Rogers spoke of the additional ten cents that the Club have asked their hockey patrons to pay on their game ticket pur- chases io help defray the expense of amusement tax at each game. "This extra ten cents on your tic- ket is a donation, not a tax. and if we don't get it. the Club will be operating at such a low margin of profit to make it extremely dif- ficult for your incoming executive to carry on.” He also explained many other features concerning the issue. which was received with much favor and support by the meeting. Major Rogers also referr- ed to the business relationship be- tween the Ciub and lottetown Forum. stating "we have had every co-operation and help IT011 the Forum to date."

Many features of the Club's act- ivities and problems were brought up and widely discussed during. the meeting. with. a. number of these being forwarded to the in- coming executive to deal with. '

Upon the reading and explanat- ion of the Club Constitution and By-Laws by the Provisional legal advisor. Somerled Tralnor, they were moved, seconded and adopted as read. 1

At the conclusion of the meet- ing Mr. Harold Hennessey made a motion that the meeting extenda vote of confidence and thanks via -the Provisional Executive for the excellent job they have done in or- ganizing and developing the Is- landers Hockey club to its present successful status. The motlon'was unanimously and heartily adopted by the meeting. In making his motion, Mr. I-lerrnessey said "as I holding seat' holder and share- holder of the Club. I think the re- tiring executlve have done a marvellous job. They have given us a fine team and an excellent calibre of hockey. and I em, very grateful and satisfied with the way they have carried out the or- ganization and business of the Club."

Islanders Tangle With Halifax Herc Tonight

The schriner-coached Halifax Saint Mary's hockeylsts, who have gone undefeated in their past six starts, will be the visiting team on home ice against the Islanders to- night in r. Maritime senior Hoc- key League fixture scheduled for the Forum at 8:30.

Having suffered defeat in their last meeting with Halifax and a tie game the time ipfore that, Lee Lamoureaux and his Islanders will probably have their toughest bat- tle of the season on their hands tonight if they are going to shut- off thc santanurians powerful winning streak and pull them- selves oui of I losing slump that has cost them heavily in their former strangle hold on the league

There were almost as many views. pro and con. on that issue alone Is there was on the subject as a whole.

The "sudden death" overtime play being used in the Big Four seams to be working out o.k. in the Mkritlmos. and al- thouxh the N. R. Us problem is no concern to Maritime circuits.

With the past few wins for Hali- fax and losses for themselves cut- ting down Islanders 11 point. lead to a shaky five. the Islanders will need a win tonight if they are go- ing to stave off last year's league champions from overtaking their leadership before the week is t.

With the chips down. and much at stake in tonight's contest. it has every prospect of producing the most action-packed tilt of the season to date. and plenty of smart hockey can be expected be- fore the final verdict is reached.

Minor Baseball leagues Go On

Spending Spree

By JACK HAND

ST. PETERBBURG, Fla... Dec. 4- (AP) - 'I'he high-ranking minor leagues. alert to a growing man- power problem, went on a spending spree today in the baseball draft. An estimated 9270.900 was spent. by the triple-A. double-A and class- A leagues for 75 men.

The three triple-A leagues -In- ternationai. Pacific Coast and Ain- erican Asscciatlon, paid some 3126.- 400 for 25 men. '

Another 376.500 was dished out by the two double-A leagues-Texas and southern Association - for 22 additional men.

The four class-A leagues came up with 868,000 for 28 men. In this group are the Illastern. South At- lanticy Central and Western leagues,

Classes "13" and "C" are sched- uled: to complete their selections tomorrow.

Several oldsters, like Kai areas. the former Brooklyn and Pittsbu pitcher were on the list. But many were within the military drift range of 19 to M.

Pew clubs had a chance to in- vestigabs thoroughly the military status of their selections. It was pretty much "hit or miss" and "hope for the best."

Oakland of the Pacific Coast League. which screamed about los- ing George Idctkovich to the majors in the Cincinnati draft meetings last month. put the snatch. on Gregg whom Pittsburgh had shunt- ed to New Orleans.
