SPORTING COMMENT

BY "TIC"

TONIGHT'S GAME

Abegweits and Victoria-s will battle it out at the Arena this evening in the third last game of the Prince Edward Island Hockey League sched- ule; one postponed game having yet to be played. ,

Tonight's game should attract as much interest and anticipatloi as any previous league fixture played this winter. Should the Abegwclts win tonight and also succeed in cap- turing the postponed game. then they will have, become tied with the Cry- stals for second section honors, pro- viding Crystals take next Fridays game from Vics in Summerslde. But. hold onl Supposing the blue and white‘ hexane should win each ohd every start from now on, then they will ‘be on top of the second frame heap. And again for argument sake; supposing the Vlcs take a. game from both Crystals and Abegweits, then this looks like e, three-comered tie and a general play-off, games to count. Therefore, according to the above, it is possible for this pres- ent section to take on a rather com- plicated appearance. Is it any won- der then. that the game tonliihi should pack just as much interest as any previous fixture this season.

U l I , m THE N. ll. 1.. I Glancing at the schedule and anal- yzing the statistics it is revealed Ot- tawas still have a. chance to make that playoff. They have played 30 games and have 14 more to pay. They have to win 12 oi these games or get about 23 points to make cure of the playoffs. Americans and Mar- oons, who-ale respectively 12 and ll points ahead of them, have played three more games. Toronto, who have played one less, are really in third place when games are considered. Americans have 13 games to play I104 have 35 points. They must score i2 points from now on to assure a p11)’- off. Montreal must score 18 points and Toronto 1B. Ottawas last W“ scored 20 points in the second hall’ of the schedule. On the face of it it looks impossible. -—but with Nigilbor back there will be vast difference in

SHIP WITHOUT A STERN

((By British United Press)

CARDIFF. February 11—Sal1ormen down here are nubblng their eyes and invoking their saints over a strange craft that has come amonz them. It is a ship without a stern. and it looks as if it had been Bullio- tlned at one end. Only an iron lat- tice door with a two-foot mesh is there to keep out the seas.

Stribling and Bharkey are all set for-three weeks of heavy training. Both have discarded their golf suits. laid ‘side their nibllcs, and are ready for the business cl boxing. They are in pretty fair condition or should ‘be. Sharkey came through his waltz with Christner with the Sharkey chin in- tact, and the Sharkey tongue ,as sharp as ever.

The cloutlng clansman doesn't lack for support in this battle. Still on the face of it Sharkey seems due for one of his good fights and the pride of the south may find him in one of those savage moods that overtake him at times, particularly when he does exactly as he pleases.

m: QUIN HALL ‘

There are any number of fans scat- tered throughout - the country who feel that _ President-Manager Fuch, of the Boston Braves, is starting a home for decrepit ballplayers. There are Just as many fans who feel that Fuchs is ,a fox when it comes to gathering together a. ball club. Which makes a good argument over the Na- tfonailieague baseball situation in Boston ff nothing else.

One thing is sure. Fuchs is a good press agent. By hoarding un- der one tents. lot of the well-known old-timers of the vgar" ‘nchs has reaped plenty of publl..._ mLlAIng the of! season. and with the boys taking their crutches and reporting for Spring training shortly, the Braves undoubtedly will garner much more notoriety._ Whether or not the effort will win ball games for the Braves remains to, be seen, but Boston didn't figure strongly in the win column last season. so Fuchs probably feels that there" is little to lose by the experi- ment. And that if it works our; suc- cessfully he will be pointed out as the wise "bird of the covey.

By signing up such fellows ts Johnny Evers and Hank Gowdy to help on the coaching line and old- tirners like Rabbit Maranville and George Harper to h-alp with the daily chores, the Braves will scarcely be re-

ferred to as a young men's organ- ization. But it may mean ball games and that's what counts. '

Although Harper and Maranville are thirty-six years old there may be plenty of good snappy baseball left in them. lviaranvllle, at thirty-six, is probably a more reliable shortstop than Eddie Farrell, the former Giant; and Harper, at the same age, is a hard left-handed hitter who may fit nicely into the Braves’ outer rami- flcations.

Harper, it will be recalled, is the fellow who went to St. Louis last year from the Giants in the trade which sent Catcher Bob O'Farre11 to New York. And it was this same Harper who was largely responsible for shunting the Giants on to a National League pennant sidetrack in a series between New York and the Cards last Fall. In a crucial game Harper hammered three home runs into the right field stand for a total of five tallies and every time he poked the ball into the pagoda he looked over at McGraw and cut capers. Beside all of this hitting, George made a couple of catches out in the garden which helped heap gloom on the Giants’ hopes. '

George got two of his homers that afternoon from a couple of Bentonh floaters, and converted one of Jack Scott's offerings into the third. He walked once and was called out on

Many slug- gers have made three home runs in a single game, but at that it's quite a feat, and Harper deserves his little niche in the Hall of Fame as a re- sult. .

George also is an inventor and will cash in for the rest of his llfc on royalties as a result of the new baseball spikes which he patented over a year ago. He thus joins the very few ballpleyers who have con- tributed original ideos in the matter of equipment. Roger Bresnahan lu- vented the shin guards, and Jim Johnston, the umpire, devised the modern mask worn by catchers. Har- per's device is a spike which is lust as sharp and efiective as the old one, but it is placed on a different base and set further back on the foot, thus eliminating the formation of cal- louses in breaking irl new shoes. It's also a much lighter spike.

So if Harper doesn't make good in Boston he still has his royalties to fall back on.

The Vios will Present a. revamped line-up in their game tonight against the Abbies. Walter Lawlor, stellar forward of the intermediates will be with the senior squad along with Harold Harper, fastskating defence man. Lawlor only lacks experience to become an outstanding forward. This is his first season in the game and he has already shown enough t0 warrant the Vfcs trying him in fast- er complmi’. Harper has been about ready for more advanced company for a year at least» and ls expected to arrive with a bang.

Other changes will include the shifting of "Hickey" Nicholson from the front line to a. back position as a regular defence man, “Hickey” should go big in his new job. He has speed, stickhandling and weight. ‘Ihe Vcs have no intention of losing tonight's battle if they can posibly win, despite rumours to the contrary. All members of the squad are out 1o cop it if it is within human possi- billty.

The Victoria moi agement are de- sirous of adding a victory to coni- pensate somewhat for previous de- feats. The reorganized team will compose the following: Goal-Morgan; ilefence- McDon- ald, Nicholson, Harper; forwards - McEachel-n, Lawlor,‘ Cronin, Doiron, Gillls. '

Amateur Golf Ch iship For I930

Billiards

MONTREAL, Feb. il-They always lock to Charlie Bunt of Verdun to meet thebest and he ought to be commended for the fact that each year in the professional play-offs for the Dominion English billiards cham- pionship, Bunt enters; not with any conviction of beating his opposition. but for thegame of billiards itself, coupled with the very valuable cx- pcrience he obtains by meeting play- ers of higher calibre. Thus this year. the Verdun professional comes along again to meet James Quinn, holder of the provincial pro title, and while he played in better form than pre- viously, had to acknowledge defeat at the hands of James Quinn by the de- cisive score of 1,500 to 642, b. margin of 85B.

Quinn demonstrated his clasg yes- terday and showed that he knows a little more than the average about the English billiards game. Chiefly he exhibited a masterly control, pull- ing ofi some very neat nursery can- non shots, llair-raising in their line- ness. Bunt had little chance, but when -at the table made his scve:al little breaks cleanly and retired 1o his seat. while Quinn invariably made bigger breaks.

Quinn passed the century mark 0n three occasions, scoring breaks of 118, 111 and 102, besides other; of 90, 88, d4 and 61. Bunt did get in the fifty class once with a break of 52. Quinn played a wide variety of shots from the losing hazard to the top o! the table play. He made some very nice breaks from the latter style of play. J. T. McCaig and J. l‘.
