THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN

MARCH 17, 194C

With their sights trained cl the New Brunswick-P. E. I- hockey

title Junior Abbies clash with Shediac Juniors at the Forum io- nlght in the ﬁrst game of a two- game total points series for the two province title, and fans who have followed the junior branch of the game are expecting another battle much on the same lines as has been witnessed here in the past when local junior squads were battling it out for Maritime honors. I I I Back in the days of the Junior Royals and Junior Aibbics interest in the juniors was at a high pitch, so high in fact that packed houses used to watch the youngs- ters perform. Sorry to say. in the intervening years interest in the juniors has fallen off Lo a large extent but this year the first at- tempt at reviving interest has tak- en place. I I I

118th 111 the season the squad that tonight will face the New Brunswick champions was fornled. The first fe\v practices proved to be discouraging ones with small turnouts but officials behind the move, led by Q3111 Reid, director of physical ﬁtness. stuck to their guns and as a result n team was formed good enough to capture the Island title and at the some time have improved sufficiently to place them as even bets to emerge as the wlrmers of the series they now await.

I I I

with the Santamarians of Hali- fax undoubted rulers of Maritime junior hockey there are no false irotions being lield of capturing the three province title but there is optimism prevailing that the squad will be able to win the New Brunswick-Hill. crown Tonight members of the squad will be out to gain a big margin to take into the second game slated for Mone- ton icc on Thursday night, and if all-out effort can accomplish their purpose the Abbics viull gain their objective.

It is to be hoped tlistagoodslzed crowd will be on hand for tonlghts encounter. The “kids" are deserv- ing of every encouragement in their endeavors to get junior hoc- key back on the high plane it en- joyed ln the past and if it is shown their latest efforts are ap- preciated it. is a certainty that when next season rolls around junior hockey will be put beck on s much stronger footing, And that in all likelihood would lead to Island squads in the next few years getting right back into the thick of the fight for s Ami in Memorial Cup playdowns.

Aintree’: Course In Top Shape For Grand National

(By The Associated Press) IDNDON, Mai‘. lG~AlnLree's 16 thorn and hedge fences were call- ed porfect today for Saturday's 102nd running of the Grand Nat- ional Steeplechase.

Few, if any changes, have been made on the layout in suburban Liverpool since its renovation ln 1914.

But Maj. G- E. Cotton, inspector for the National Hunt Committee, found the barriers in good shape for the coming race in which the favored Silver Fame and 45 other candidates will compete.

Although ihcrc are but l6 fences the huge field of thoroughbrcds must make 30 jumps in their two trips around U16 course. On the second journey, the open ditch and water junl-p in frolic of the grandstand are eliminated:

To keep tne race one of stam- ina, however, the horses still left at that time must run uphill to the ﬁnish line.

The grandstand obsiacles are listed as two of the most severe on the course, sharug K418i. hum): with BechersBrook and the Canal turn.

However. the Xavcrlans, led by big Dunc McIntyre who Nova Scotia exchanges stutc would prove a valuable addition to any senior team, can be depended upon. to furnish all kinds of opposition. In addition to wishing to retain their provincial crown they also are anxious to get another crack at the team that. last year beat them out of a. Maritime title in what was considered an outstanding up- set at the time. Since that time, however, Saints have proven their worth and whichever Nova Scotla squad wins out they will know they sro facing n. real battle when pitted against Jackie Kane's 8.1). U. warriors.

NEW YORK. March 16-(CP)-— The 1937-46 National Hockey Lon- guc playoffs will open March 24, governors of the six-team circuit decided today, with the League champions playing the third-place finishers and the runner-up meet- lng the fourth-place team as In previous years. Dates for the fin- sls are yet to be determined.

If’ ‘Ibronto Maple ‘hells, not two points ahead of Detroit Red Wings in the standing with ‘l3, win the title, the top half of the Stanley Cup semi-finals will open in the Ontario capital. If the Wings win out in the last days of the regular season which ends March 21, the top half best-of- seven series will open in Detroit.

The tight finish of one of the closest N. H. L. seasons on record has splattered many "ifs" through the playoff schedule. Opponents of the League champions also were uncertain as the governors met here to draw up the post-season schedule.
