- Charlottetown Royals and New Glasgow Rangers renew their hockey fued here at the Sports Arena Thursday night.’ _ .; The teams are tied 1-1 in a best of five series with the prize ‘ for the survivor being a crack at the powerful Bathurst Papermak- ers. That series will get underway next Monday. It will also be a best of five affair. Royals showed far too much class for the Rangers in that ” opening game last Friday. In fairness to the‘Nova Scotians how- ever they were rusty after a long lay-off_, having had no competi- tion since they were eliminated by Hull in Allan Cup play.
In the second contest New Glasgow was able to come from be- hind to eke out a 6-5 decision but it looked like a case of the Whit- lock-coached crew just running out of steam due to a player shortage. -
In any event the series is knotted, with one team needing two more wins before qualifying for the final bracket with the Paper- makers. That team should be the Royals. ‘1‘hey’1l have a full complement of players and the advantage of their home ice. Those two factors should be enough to close the battle out in four games‘.
However there's ,many the slip ’twixt the cup and the lip and Rangers are likely to be a much better outfit than they were last week. You.can bet they”ve had several tough practice sessions lsiince Saturday and will be ready to force the local outfit to_ the
mit. .. ' ' Such goings-on should make for two bang-up hockey games on Thursday and Friday nights and the Sports Arena certainly should not havc any trouble in breaking its season’s record. Let’s pack ‘em in. .

Sam Pollock who has a dual role with Junior Canadiens — he's ‘ coach and general manager—has announced the baby Habs may play a full schedule in the Ontario Hockey Association senior A series next season.
The Junior Canadiens have already been given permission to use six senior players if they decide to enter this league on a full time basis.
This is the outfit that crushed the Cape Breton juniors in'Mem- orial Cup play a few weeks ago and look like a sure bet to go all the way for junior hockey supremasy in Canada. .

The setup is this. The Sox' vice—president is attempting to force his sister, Mrs. Dorothy Rigney Comiskey, to release stock
willed to both by their mother, Mrs. Grace Comiskey, who was the ‘ club president. Cliuck’s attorney asserted that “Dorothy Rigney doesn’t want the stock distributed. It would ruin her attempt to ruin her brother". However Mrs. Rigney’s lawyer claims his client has no intention of voting the stock against Chuck's interests. , Mrs. Comiskey left an estate of $1,097,751. The principal bene- ’ flciaries were Mrs. Rigney who received $359,515 and Comiskey who ot $226,228. ‘ rs. Comiskey, the club president, died December 10, 1956.

Bruins Upset Canadiens 3-1‘ To Even,The Series
By W. R. WI-IEATLEY Canadian Press Staff Writer BOSTON (CP) -— The fighting
Boston Bruins squared the Stan- ley Cup final at two-all Tuesday night, thr_oughly beating Mont- real 3-1 on two goals by Don Mc- Kenney and a single by Jerry Toppazzin-i.
Claude Provost scored Mont- real’s lone goal at 12:57 of the third period after the Bruins had the game in hand.
The Bruins were a far different

BY JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Staff Writer Cliff Walker is 51, the father of
three, works in a Western On- tario beet plant loading trucks, wears glasses, weighs 145 pounds and is five feet, eight inches tall. He's li-ke thousands of other hard- working fellows who quaff the odd beer and spend many eve- nings at home in front of a TV set.
But, comes he winter months, and Walker is something -_,.:cial around his home town of West Lorne, a village of 1,078 popula- tion. He gets out and plays hockey with “the boys.”
Walker, who celebrates his 52nd birthday this Sunday, has just completed 32-straight ‘play- ing seasons, a record that prob- ably no one in North America can touch. Hockey, he says, is a hobby with him.
There’s no fooling in his
“hobby.” He cuts out the beer‘ and cigarets, takes his regularl

They were much sharper than the Canadiens, checked closer and were more dangerous with their shots. The Montrealers ap- peared jaded and weary and were a tired team at the end.
They lost defenceman Dollard St. Laurent in the second period when he was checked, as he

“That's an amazing record,” says W. A. (Billy) Hewitt of To- ronto. registrar-treasurer of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Asso- ciation since 1922. “In the old days we used to have fellows stay in the game pretty long, but I don‘t think anyone stayed with it as long as this Walker fellow.”
Hewitt should know. He has been close to Canadian sport for most of his 83 years and has a prodigious memory. “1_ can't‘ think of anyone who has played organized hockey on a regular basis at 51 years of age,” he says.
Walker is pretty proud of his record, and he thinks he’ll stretch
BOSTON, (AP) —— Boston coach Milt Schmidt credited his Bruins‘ determination and will to win for their 3-1 victory over Montreal Canadiens Tuesday night.
“This makes the series a lot more interesting,” Sch-midt said after the Bruins deadlocked mat- ters a-t two games apiece in the battle for hockey’s coveted Stan- ley Cup. _
“We had our backs to the wall tonight, but these guys of mine don’t know the meaning of ‘the word quit,” he added. “Regard- less of how things turn out, they have been great. Determination and will to win, plus our -ability, make a combination tough to beat.”

Both of McKenney‘s goals came while St. Laurent was serv- iiig penalties-—the first for hold- ing and the second for tripping.
The Boston power play was quick to roar in with goal-getting drives each time -— something Montreal's famed Power Play failed to do.
