supplying a story book finish to a game that was ap- arentiy lost midway through the second period Walter Lawloi-‘s Junior Royals last night raced to their third straight Maritime title as they defeated Truro’s Junior lienrczits El-S to take the round and title by a 13-10 score. Truro had won the first game at Truro by a 5-4 count. And s0 a team that was little figured on at the start of the playdowns became the first Maritime junior outfit to ever win three titles in a row. As game a squad as ever lac-l ed on a hockey bvot the Royals never knowing when they were beaten outfought their bigger and heavier opponents

to stage a finish that has seldom if ever been witnessed

here.

After a scoreless first period Royals tied the round

score up early in the second Truro shoot three goals and

but a disastrous penalty saw take a commanding lead on

the series. Fighting back Royals tied the count at 4-all be- ' tore the middle session had ended setting the stage for the . spectacular finish in the final canto as the winners shot fire goals to their opponents one to cop the game and title.

Today all the Island will llnging the praises 0f a. bunch of lids that. come from nowhere to hold the Maritime title. And well they deserve it. Fight. and fight alone was the main fcator in their victory as they wore their bigger and heavier opponents down to win pretty much ns they pleased.

SYDNEY. N.S.. March 14-40?) The lightly-regarded Halifax Navy team sprang on; of the biggest sur- prises of the Maritime hockey gea- son tonight by holding Sydney's phwer-packed Millionaires to s 9-8 win in the opener o! a. home-and- home series for the trl-province championship.

Trading by five goals as the Last period opened, the Tats rattled in just. that number of scores before the game ended. Johnny Atoltis.n's lone Sydney marker in this period gave Millionaires their edge.

A Lot On

By Whitney Martin Associated Press Sports Writer

HAVANA. March 14—-(AP1- Sparkplug tr.ub.e may be the lot". of Brcokiyyn Dodgers this year if Leo Durccher abides by his plan t0 take his job sitting dawn, so to speatk, and do his managing from the bcnch.

That technique is all right when a tnanager 11.15 a "hdl-er guy” on the field with the baseball brains to direct traffic, but. Durochcr hap- pens to be the only real “holler guy on the Dodg.r squad. Without him out there the infield makes about as much. noise as bare-footed mice running anund on a persian rug. Dslph Camilli and Harry La- vagetta are strong, silent mcn; Pete Coscarat is mildly talkative, and Pee-Wee Reese still has a. pip- squeak vcice.

It is no reflection on the abilities of Reese that Brooklyn seems to be a. better blll club Whn Duncher l5 in there. Reese is one of the great.- est young playrs to come up l1

years. He can cover more ground than Durocher right now, and hit: better. But he's just 21 and locks even ymngel‘, and with only three months of major league experience behind him it would be only natural for him to be a. little timid about bossing his elders.

Durochcr underestimates his own value m the field. and he's reach- ed thit rocking-chair age when it. is ditch-digging toil to get out there undu- the hot sun and coax added yardage out of game-weary l-cgs.

“I'm trying to teach h'm (Reese) to holler," he says hopefully.

Dunchcr hollered himself into the leadership of eve infield in vrfitich he played and a ter 15 years- he's still bascbalPs No. 1 holler guv

Every good infield has a spark- pug. a leader and a holler guy. Dick Bart-en's incessant chatter held a wobbly Detroit infield tozether:

Will try new Offside rule

NEW YORK_ March 14—(OPl— The two New York beams in the National Hockey League. 111118915 and Americans. will experiment with a new offside rule Siridny when they wind up their regular season's schedule. N-thing is at stake ln the same. an playoff ow- tions having been settled.

The experiment. advocated by Lester Patrick, Rangers manager, and agreed to by managm Red Dutton of the Americans will be based on the princple that the puck carrier is always onsxle.

But if, when he crcs-es the blue line into his opp nentfis defen ive zone, one of his teammates hap- pens to be offside, the puck corner must go on alone until all his team- mates who have penetrated time defensive zone-whether they are onslde cr not-skate back into the centre ice zone, and re-enter the defensive zone.

The way it: will work. as outlned by Patrick is that the lineman will raise i5 aim time moment he detects an offside and will not; l. w- er it until all the playu-s on the guilty side_ except. the puck carrier,

TORONTO, March 14—(OP)- Riddled with injuries during most of the National lfockey League sea.- son, chances appear fairly bright for Toronto Maple Leafs to enter the Stanley Cup hunt at full strength. The Leafs open a best-of- seven series with the leagug chun- gion Bruins in Boston next. Thurs-

Otherwise the Leafs are in fine fctt-le and one of their mcst potent attacking forces will probably be flanked by two players whv re- cently gmdlleted from the category of crooks. In late dril1s_ flank Goldup and Gus Marker, both out for mcst cf the carnpafgn with leg hurts. have been working with centre Pete Langelle.

The Goldup - Langelie - Marker combination wirked effective] early iii the Sfascn and their reun on for the playoffs may prove important ill the Cup drive. Golrlup was one of the Leafs’ top marksmen before the injury jinx caught, up with him and the experienced Marker is rated among htckeys best back- checkers.
