goal or more margin. It was the first game of

final series for the Eastern Canadian title.

Rivalling at times this wintefs “Big Four" fixtures the squads put on a convincing display as they skated themselves into near-exhaustion in their efforts to garner a lead to take into the second tilt, scheduled for Thursday

The locals, displaying their best form on Forum ice this winter. all were in brilliant form. Their pass- ing attacks were clicking in great ltyb. lid on the defensive they beck-checked like fiends. Steele. right winger, was particularly ef- fective. his skating and stickhand- ling being a treat to watch, follow- ed closely for honor; by Currie and lfltmerald.

Another- plsyer deserving of spe- eial mention was Harold Ciaudet, subbing on the Abbie defence. Har- old going in cold with his mates servfng penalties several times during the game. used his body freely to slow up the incoming raider-g and clearing well at other tlmm.

Refuses Jerry laflreve and Rflscr Surith, both from Ottawa, gave a fine exhibition of how to handle a game, having it under control at all times, letting minor dfences g0. but ruling with firm hands whm anything serious threatened.

High peed action was the key- note as the game got underway with the Cranes carrying the play as the Abbie; waited for them to show their wares. Simpson turned O'Connor around with a hard slam and a minute later Baker saved eiwctaeulsrly as Morin and MoCaig rode in close.

Steele was robbed by the agile Orane custodian after qslitting the defence wide, but s penalty to Simpson put a stop to the strong Abbie attack. Landry made it five men apieca as he trippe Stewart but the Abbles seemed disorganized for the closing minutes of the per- iod Griffin being very dsngerous on fast skating attacks from his defence post.

Abbie; tough schedule of the past week and a half in which they played five games seemed to have tired them but they were dogged- ly sticking to it.

Timely Tips On Sport

In s game crammed full of fast exciting hockey, worthy of any sen- ior exhibition, the Juniors held the highly toiled tljanes four all and on the night's play deserved s win.

The Montreal tesra unleashed some anawy plays which several times had the locals buffsioed, but the Abbtes turned in an effective passing game which continually hsrrassed the visitors and gsve goalie Shore of the Cranes a busy night.

‘ihe locals appeared somewhat “O11 c686" in the opening minutes of play but gradually steadied dorzi as they solved the visitor's style oz p ay. ‘

Tonight at I o'clock. at the Forum, wectators will witness the final Banker's hockey match of the season. The Royal-s will play the Scotis team for the Tibart 1WD!!! ‘Ibo first play-off game, havini been played, the . Royals emerged with s two goal 1 which the Bcotia Boys he mined to overcome tonight. promises to be good.

Rangers put up s magnificent de- fence here tonight as Maroons carried most of the fight in the New York end of the rink.

At one time in the first Chlng Johnson and Bun Oook fretted in the penalty box together while five Maroons milled about inside the New York blue line vainly twins t0 score. Earl Seibert and Bill Cook with Munray Murdock back check- ed the Msrocna tirelessly until
