Al Roger’s Abbie Midgets are deserving of congratulations on their splendid showing in Maritime midget competition. ,-

After winning the N. B.-P. E. I. championship, the Abbies‘ extended Halifax Monarchs to the limit before bowing in over- time 6-5. This is a really fine exhibition when you consider the great area that Monarchs had to draw from in comparison withy the locals. , , ’

Prince Edward Island junior, juvenile and midget teams all did themselves proud this season. The juniors copped the N. B. - P. E. I. junior A, crown before losing out to a hand-picked Nova Scotia squad. The juveniles lost the New Brunswick-Prince Ed- ward Island title to Chatham by one goal in a two-game total goal series and that goal came with two seconds of play remaining in the first game at Chatham. Then the midgets put on quite a dis- play before letting Halifax go home with the Maritime crown.

Such a showing speaks wfll‘for our minor hockey setup here.

Well it’s Stanley Cup night again and. Boston Bruins are facing a tough proposition trailing the defending champions‘ Montreal Canadlens 2-1 in a best of seven series. The Bruins must win to- night or just about forget the Stanley Cup for this year. ~ '

However’ for the Bruins to be facing a tough proposition is nothing new. They finished fourth in the 70-game schedule yet they clobberedthe New York Rangers who were runners-up to the power-. ful Canadiens. Then they tackled the Montrealers and immediately served notice that they were refusing to play dead for the champions. r .

They lost that first game but practically everybne will agree that the verdict could have gone either way. Then they fought back to nab a triumph on Montreal ice, something that doesn't come too easily. _

Sunday they were outplayed right in Boston -Gardens but don’t think for a moment that they will not pull out all the stops tonight. If they can give a repeat performance of last Thursday then the series may well be knotted again by midnight. - _

Game time tonight is.;,9 o'clock local time but television coverage will not be available till 10 o'clock. That will mean the game should be well into the second period before we get a chance to see the action. .

Well we can’t kick too much. After all last year we weren’t able to see any of the action whatsoever.

Let's not get spoiled too easily. _

The winner of this series goes against Bathurst with the best of five affair to open on Monday next. The ,site of the opening games has not yet been fixed.

The Royals are expecting big crowds for their two games with the Rangers. They had a heavy expenditure of late and should they emerge as Maritime final- ists the trip to Bathurst will be a costly one.

The athletes rode through the downtown streets en route to a civic luncheon where assorted dignitaries predicted a glowing future for all concerned. .

Pitching, despite th uncertainty of Roberts, is the Phils' strong point. They came up with two fine prospects last year in a nine- teen - game winner, Jack Sanford, and Don Cardwell.

This Spring theyéve come up with another prize in Roman Sem- proch. a trim little tight hander who had a 13- 4 record with Miami in 1957. These three with the experienced Curt Simmons and

New York is going to see a lot of the Phillies this year. In: fact. the Phils, one might say, will virtually become the wards of.‘ Gotham fans by reason of their adoption as television fodder to fill ‘ the void left by the departed Dodgers and Giants.

Giants “Home"

are due to crack all baseball at- tendance marks Friday when the. same clubs play at the converted Los Amg-eles Coliseum. PREDICTED FINISHES

Generally speaking, the ex- perts are predicting a second- division finish for the Giants, probably sixth place. The Dod- gers are more respected, with some pennant support and a solid finst division vote.

Giant manager Bill Rigney has named Rtuvben,Gomez, a 30-year- old,Puerto Rican right-hander, to pitch the opener against the Dod- gers’ Don Drysdale, a rangy 21- year-old righthander.

Dodger pilot Walt Alston has been making out starting lineups and tearing them up. for days, because, of Duke Snider's ailing left knee. He will be in left, not -his usual post in centre field. Junior Gilliam will be in left if Snider can’t make it.

The Dodgers still don’t have an adequate ‘replacement for Roy Campanella, the regular - catcher who still remains partly para- lyzed in a Long Island hospital as the result of, an auto crash. Rube Walker, who used to fill in for Camp-y, will work the opener.

Washington Senators Win Opener From Boston Club

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pedro Ramos, 22-year-old Cuban right- hander pitching his first opening day game, dazzled a nearly packed house at Griffith Stadium Monday. Raimos set Boston down with five hits and hurled Wash- ington to ‘a 5-2 sunprise victory over the Red Sox.

The Senators made the most of shaky Boston fielding in the sixth inning to crack open the game with three unearned runs.

Jackie Jensen lined a homer into the left field bleachers in the third to account for both Boston runs. Don Buddin, who had sin- gled, trotted across ahead of Jensen.

Jim Lemon drove a solo homer into the same seats in the fourth for the Senators’ first run.

A crowd of 26,675, including President Eisenhower, watched the game-—first of the year in either league. They enjoyed p r- fect 70-degree weather. None was happier at the outcome than Eisenhower. He was rooting as, usual for the Senators. - WILLIAMS ILL
