F... H...c.......-r. s... Prospective Local Team Play At Forum Tonight

Inland hockey followers have a chance tonight at the Forum at ads to see in action the boys who will represent the Province in the Marltimes' most pclished hockey circuit, the Big Four. The other three teams are Moncton. Halifax. and Saint John.

still engaged in whittilng down his squad, "Murph" Chamberlain will have I very good idea after tonight of the club's lineup for their first league encounter at Hai- ifa-r this coming Saturday night.

Knowing that the chips are down and that the game means much to all of them. the boys cannot af- ford any slackness. Either they produce or move on to other hock- ey homes.

Under such circumstances. the contest will develop some heat: other practices during the week and particularly the full dress xe- hearsal for the children was a give and take frolic. and no quarter asked.

There will be an admission fee for the simple reason that hockey or the calibre being offered in the Big Fcur costs money. and the fans may as well know at the out- set that the Islanders Hockey Club xras started not with any optimistic ideas of making money but with the object of giving Islanders good hockey. -

The club executive in fact kncws that no profit is possible. but on the other hand has the problem on its hands of whether expenses can be met.

Their problem is no simpler be- cause of the limited seating cap- acity of the Forum. A rink with four to five thousand house room would make financing much eas- ier, in less prosperous days twen- ty-five hundred people or mt": have squeezed into the Forum to see the Big Four games of fifteen

C. And B. Team Claims Intermediate Ball Title

Summerslde Curran and Briggs.

Nova Scotia-Prince Edward Island intermediate baseball champions and defending Maritime titlisis. arrived home last night from New Brunswick.

The game that was scheduled to be played with Mlnto LeZl0"5- New Brunswick intermediate win- hers. was rained out yesterday.

Manager Charles Hagan 01 '-he Summerside Club said last nlilhi may me team had spent Tuesday night at Sussex. N. 15., and yes- terday he and Bruce Macwilliams. V-ice-President of the Club. Went up to Minto to try and make new arrangements for the Series for the Maritime intermediate title. but the Minto Club felt they would be unable to Play Thursday for several. reasons. Manager Hogan dldnt clab0rlIi0 on the reasons. but gave the lmr pression that they were of an un- reasonable nature. -

He stated that "the Minto Club

or more years ago.

Today with money easier. the town's population higher, and bet- ter roads leading from the rural section: to Charlottetown, the at- tendance at games is estimated to increase sharply.

Much depends of course on the quality of the team carrying Char- iottetown's hopes, If it is in there Lighting, the Forum will not hold the crowds.

.Here a word of caution may not be amiss. The other three teams in the league have been several years building their clubs. They have se- lected, screened. and discarded many players, Charlottetown has the same road to follow. though "Murph" Chamberlain seems to have used excellent judgment in rounding up the material on hand

He has youth. mixed with ex- perience. plenty of weight. loads of color. and is himself a fiery and inspiring leader.

It will be good hcckey, the kind we carried for three years in the hungry thirties. If the people who love hockey face up to the costs there is no doubt that in the more prosperous and cheerful fifties Charlottetown can support and enjoy good hockey.

The team could be given no bet- ter boost than a big turnout at io- nlght's game,

Here are how the teams will line u 2 pGarnet: - Goal-Gordon: rie fence-Vitale, Travis. Hennessey' forwards-J. Horeck, Bathgate. D Hon-ck. Gray, Richardson. Shep- pard. Rodgers.

Local hockey fans will get their last big look at the Chamberlain- coached Islanders hockey team at

the Forum tonight. before they swing into action against Halifax Saint Mary's at the Nova Scotia capital on saturday night in the opening game of the "Big Four" schedule. 0 0

Similar to the game held on Tuesday for the kiddies. it will be a Garnet and Gold clash. the present team roster being divided into two teams for the occasion But there will be much more to it than just an exhibition session for the Club. It will be a test of abil- ity for every player on the ice. with coach Chamberlain looking on. their individual performances will be the deciding factor in- whether nr not they will be on the team that makes the trip to Hall- fax on Saturday.

”It will be the final test for the boys before I select my team", Chamiberlain stated yesterday. In referring to the number of the local hockey products who are still with the squad. and where it concerns some of the "Imports" as well. Chamberlain said yesterday. "there is going-to be a particular battle between eight of these play- ers for two vacancies on the team rosier." He was not backward in naming them either;

According to Chamberlain, the eight players in question are Mousey Dowling, Cccil "Bubby"

Dowiing. Wally Sheppard, Red Rodgers. Willie Robertson. How- ard Beaudry. Mike I-lennessey and Jack "Spy" Ready. Those are the boys in particular who will really have to come up with the perforrn- ances that will fill those two Vacancies. "It will be a full'dress rehearsal" Murph said. "and the boys won't be pulling anv punches in tomorrow night's clash." 0 0 I

Murph also mentioned the charg- ing of a buck for adults at to- night's game. He admitted that it seems a little steep for an ex- hibition iili, "but that there is much more to it than would ap- pear to the average cash customer. It is a big undertaking to get back into the game after being out of. it for 15 years - and it takes money to put a good team in uni- form.”

0 O 0

He referred to the team as being more or less of a community pro- ject. and that the fans who will be turning out to pay their dollar, will not only be paying to see the boys perform. but extending that little extra financial support that is needed at the same time. "That is why we have set the price at that figure. and are hoping that the fans will lend their full sup- port by lurning out in large num- bers lomorrow night." It was Cham- berlaln's. opinion that the boys out on the ice would not disappoint those who will be on hand to wit- ness them in action.

Since hockey has filled up most of this space since the World Series has been finished we think it only fitting to add a little about the series before it becomes a dead issue. If some of you read- ers think back you will remem- ber that we picked the Yanks to win in six games.

0 O 0

Well. the Yanks won the series all right but they did the trick in only four games for the sixth time since the series between the two major league winners was in- augurated. This year il was moot-

and superior pitching would do the trick 0 0

That was the answer in the short lived series but it was most- ly pitching which was the main factor in the Yank.s' win. The thought that the Phillie: young rlghthander Robin Roberts might have beaten the Yanks was up- permost wlih some fans, and be

If he had started the first game he might have gotten I chance to hurl once more. We know now that this did not fair out but Ro- berts gave the Yanks all the trou- ble they wan-ted before, he groov- ed one io DiMaggio to lose his game and the old nothing-ball artist of the Phils. Jim Konstanty, lost a heartbreaker in the opening game of the series 1-0 to Raschi which might have given the Phil: an even break in the serles' four games.

The Yanks won their thirteenth series in seventeen trlea by knock- ing off the Phlla but if the Phil: had gotten a few breaks the story of the series might have been dif- ferent. Perhaps Buck Harris of the American League Washington Senators summed it up when he said the "Yanks would win be- cause they have too many pro: on their team.”
