First Ice Race" 0f Season Ilelii At Summersiiie

The first ice racing event on summerside harbor ice this season was held yesterday afternoon with a fair attendance and with ideal weather conditions prevailing. The course was in good shape but due to the fact that the proper kind of plough for clearing the track had gone through the ice on Tues- day, the course was not as good as the officials had hoped to have it. However, it is expected to be in tip top condition for Saturd- day's tm-nout.

In the meantime there will be a general meeting of all horsemen at Willard MacDonald's garage on Friday night. At that time the horses will be classified and all entries are to be in the hands of the secretary by that time. '

Still confident that their repre- sentatives will yet have plenty to say in the outcome or the City League playoffs. SIUTIIIIGTSI-dv fans

will corne by spaClfll train to- night to watch Summerside Ali- Stars battle Saints in the opening semi-final playoff game of the league, a series that will be de- cided on a best of three basis and a series that a great many are of the opinion will go the limit be- fore the team is decided that will go against the winners of the Navy-P.W.C. series in the final for the title and Dr. Dougan Tro- ohy. 0 0 O- O

Improving with every game, Sumlmerside gave further proof the other night in Sumner-side they are just about at their peak when they hung a 4-3 defeat on the Navy team in an exhibition encounter. That victory could

eak volumes for the ins-prove-

ent in tonight's visiting squad and maybe perhaps Saints will have to show their finest efforts if they are to take this all-impor- tant first game of s. short series.

(l- Il) I! O

With playoff time at hand and everythinghlnging on the outcome of each game, Sumtnierside-Char- lottetown rivalry is expected to reach its height before the series is concluded. In their previous meeting the two teams waged a knock-em-down, drag-em-oirt tus- sle and "if the squads elect to play it that way tonight an expected packed Forum will receive a full quota of thrills and spills during the sixty minutes the teams will be hammering away against each

other. 1- + + 1- \

It definitely won't be any pink tea party. Summer-side play a fast rugged brand of hockey all the way and Saints are quite willing to accommodate any squad with a dose of like medicine. And if the visitors can stretch the string out to three full periods of fast. wide open-action fans will witness a game that will hang in tiheir memory for a long time.

Il- II‘ 1' i

Although beaten 7-4, followers of Prince of Wales Welshmen re- ceived a decided lift by their team's performance against the Saints in Tuesday -night's ‘en- counter. The scoring power that is contained in the ranks of the Saints again stood them in good stead when the going was becom- ing a bit rocky, and it was this fact alone that allowed them to emerge with their victory.

1- 4- + i-

Onoe again the inexperienced Prince of Wales team showed a lack of scoring punch that saw them lose goals after they had skated right into scoring position. The Welshmen must at least have lost four counters in this manner and had they been able to con- nect it is well within the realm of possibility that today the Saints would not have been en- joying an unbroken season's win- ning streak.

0 O O t

However, that is mere supposit- ion. But the fact remains that by their showing the Welshman are going to prove plenty tough for the Navy in the playoffs. Prob- ably the second fastest skating team in . the league. Johnny Squarebrigga has made decided improvement in the entire-team's play during the past couple of weeks and if they can just ae- quire the art in the next week or so of cashing. in on their scoring chances they may yet get another orhok at the Saints in the finals.
