‘ The Loyal League Opener Toiilght

smlmflfl. no doubt over their re- cent set-back at the hands of Mono. ton Hawks, Redericton Capitals are certain to cut loose against Abeg. weits tonight with everything in their repitoire-and then some, in s valiant effort to pull up on lost around and at the same time, push Abegwelts into an early cellar posi- tion with ‘Bathurst Papennakers as their companions. The New Bruns- wick Duckmen are strong, as each l!!!’ "try fan and fannie are aware, but to hurdle the red and black clan of Hickeson this evening is a task that will surely ti’! Fredericton as the’? have never been tried before. The Abegweits of today, judging by their recent performance, are not the same team which battled the Capitals on two previous occasions- far from it. This team is playing a brand of hockey these days that Bladdens the hearts of fandom. They have been working faithful and hard under the expert tutelage of coach Doug Hickeson and arc now prepared to give Fredericton or any other team in the League a game worthy o! their steel.

Williams Going Good

Every player on the lineup is showing daily improvement. Their whole beings are wrapped up in the many struggles to come; their sticks are in the ring and it's going to take SOME opposition to knock ‘em out.

The most surprising player of the local puck chasers this season is "Chick' Williams. Appearing slow and languid in the defence position, a Job he held down last season, he was moved up by I-lickeson recently —and the move seems to be a good l one, Judging by the improvement Williams has been showing. On his every appearance on the ice he is getting faster, and this coupled with his experience, will make him a big aaet to Abegweits on this particu- lar alley. Chick hasn't been used much ‘tis true, but while in action

=its a safe bet that few-very few

counts will be registered against his team from that side of the ice. None have been scoredas yet.

Let's hope Chick keeps coming- beside-s other things, he has a lovely shot. .

Released Estabrooks

Amherst Ramblers, who are said b0 have had a. string on Steve Esta- brooks, have released all claim to the sturdy little forward. who is now Abegweit property, providing the M.A.H.A. gives him a playing certificate.

_ This sportsmanlike gesture oi’ Am- herst hockey ofliclals is to be com- mended and heartily endorsed by the citizens of Charlottetown.

With regard to Estabrooks play- ing with Abegwcits tonight, it was not known at a late hour last night whether he would be on the lineup or not.

All Playing Tonight

The six teams comprising the sen- 'ior Northern Hockey League get into‘ action tonight. Fredericton Capitals meet the Abegweits at Charlotte- town; Moncton Hawks invrvl; Dal- housie to tackle the Rangers, and Campbelltcn Tigers oppose Bathurst Papermakers at the latter club's rink.

At the annual meeting and again at several executive meetings, it was decided that the League executive would oppose any all-star Junior team idea for any exhibition games, because it is wrong 1n principle and contrary to the idea o! developing Junior Hockey. They are not op- posed, however, to any team in the league, as a unit playing outside teams.

Battles o! the Century

out to be! Every contest since Dempsey first shattered the frail ribs of Georges Carpentier has been hailed as the battle of the century. Football, rowing, world baseball, hockey, motor boat, flying, and now even bridge contests have been lab- elled with that once brilliant now becoming banal trade mark. First thing the public knows a softball match or two rival fire station teams slinging quolts behind the Exhibltiongrounds will claim for themselves-the battle of the ecu- tury. And they are as entitled to the boast as much as many a sport- ing event today.

The phase is overworked, and the

paying guests have been so often

fooled by it that it excites them about as much as the old "wolf" cry in Aesop's fables, in the maxlms of Confucius or wherever it first ap- peared-And now comes another famous "Battle of the Century," the Contract Bridge Battle.

Little Impressed

"After watching the battles in the Big Six League, last night's league game was a tame affair to most of the fans. It contained little o! thfl slam-bang variety of the pro-Steam games, but for what might be term- ed "inside hockey," the 096111118 0"“ gagement was a big improvement on what the Big Six League had to oi-
