“Wolverine Crew Third And Deciding V_ic£ory Of Series.

' A fast skating band of Wolverines, taking advantage o1 their breaks wrote finis _to Abegweit chances of competing in _Allan Cup_pl_ay for this season, when they captured their third and deciding victory from the local crew at the Forum

last night, winning 2 to 1.

But it was only after s. gallant city teem 11nd 5h u,“ crowd what real “fighting spirit" is, that they concede? tlionﬁllligc

title to "Red" Stuart's team.

from right wing and had "Lady Liwi” dllisned to smile on them at all they would today be far from ellmination- But such was not the case, and though today they are out of the race, they have lost nothing by

. defeat, rather the contrary.

Fast, but ragged in spots, the game started out 215,21 close-check- ing affair the; gave the crowd

little to enthuse about, but when,

the teams would be shorthanded through penalties action was fast and furious and in the last ten minutes of the game the kaleido- soopic whirl of the encounter pro- vided thrills at a. dime a dozen and left the fans in a near-exhausted stale at the bell.

Leo Sargent turned in n brilliant performance in the’ Abbie cage last’. night. Time ofier time in the third period he either outguessed his attackers or forced them to shoot wide and on the two goals that did beat him he didn't have a chance; his vision being blocked on the first and Shields having a clear path from centre ice to out- gucss him on the second. Harold Gross was another star behind the Abbie line, at least six times shunting off one and two man at- tacks as his men would be caught inside the Halifax zone.

Up front the work of the "rookies? Lawlcr, Squarebriggs, Steele and H. Currie, was a revel- ation. Time after time they hem- mcd the uiinncrs in and on their pﬁfornirnlce ll; was worthy that the Abbie goal should come from one of their sticks. The other line of F, Currie, Nicholson and Kane Just couldn't click, although at no time did they ever cease trying.

“Daddy" Bubar ivas the real stumbling block for the locals last night. He was “on" in every sense of the word and it took herculean efforts to beat him Just the once. Graham and Lavigne weretheir usual effective selves while Hud- son and Lennon wicre outstanding on the attacking divisions.

Shifting his attacking line, Coach Harold Gross sent Frankie Currie to center to pivot Kane and Nich- olson. while husky young Irvin McKie paired up with the Abbie mentor behind the Abbie blueline.

The fronhlines of each squad marking each other closely failed to get in any real dangerous at- tacks during their first stay on the ice and it remained for Lawlor, Squurebi-lggs and Steele to brim! the crowd to their feet as they hemmed the Wolves in with their. boring tactics. They controlled the play and just before they were rc- lieved Steele's low drive just skim- med past the open corner of Bu- bars citadel.

A penalty to Lavlgne when he dumped Frankie Currie saw the locals full to geuthclr gang attacks working and the Halifax defense- man's return left the teams even in man-power.

Lawlor, Squarebrlggs and Harry Currie again gave Bubur two close calls as they returned to the foe and the crowd gave them a big hand as they skated off for a. well- earned rest.

Nicholson was chased by Referee Mel-cod and when Gross was pen- alized s. minute later things looked dark for the locals but brilliant Leo Sargent plus smart oovei-‘lns

Hudson again proved the jinx when an Abbie player cleared right onto his stick and the visiting winger blasted one into the twines. The goal came lust forty-eight sec- onds before the period ended with Gross still in the box.

ND WITH the deciding of the

"Big 'I'hree" champions just

what course the Abbie team will now take is largely a nutter of conjecture. Rumors of disband- ment have been heard already while a tour is also being talked of.

UT WHATEVER happens the B players have endeared them- selves to the fans by their ao- tions both on and off the lee and when another season rolls around who knows but that. these same hockeylsts will once again sport Abegweit lively. At least we hope m‘ O O O LE PRAISE is being show- ered on the players the inan- agemertt of the Forum also deserve commendation. ‘may eu- rled on notwithstanding small houses and financial (lifficuit-ies and it was those few sport lovers alone who were responsible for liv- ing to Charlottetown fans some of the best saints hockey in the world. ' O O O

UT wi-tmnsil hope of syne- minlon title in the men's di- vision has faded l bend of giril, Sumnterslde mini-om, have a splendid chance of capturing the women's-title. ‘ r ‘

ND ONCE MORE fond hopes of Island fandom for an Allan Cup team fades. But although today Harold Gross’ team are eliminated they have lost nothing 1n defeat, They went down fighting to the last

ditch and fans in attendance at last night's game will not soon forget the stirring comeback they attempted last night in that last ten minutes of playing time. That they did not tie it up or even go in front is a wonder, but then the Wolverines, and “Daddy" Bubar in particular, deserve lots of credit in this respect for the stout defense they threw up. The visitors too had their chances as they broke away on several occasions but Hamid Gross and Leo Sargent, playing the games of their careers, uutguessed the invaders and they too are deserving of all the "boquets" that will be coming their way today. O I U

N LOOKING BACK over the now finished series, one cannot but marvelithat the locals were capable o1’ extending the playoffs to two games over the originally scheduled number. Forced to fill in the

gaps created by C.A.H.A. rulings with promising but untried Junior and intermediate players, fans were wont to concede them little chance with the mighty Wolverines. But said fans reckoned without the mighty hearts that beat under the Abegweit. sweaters Courage and a never-say- dle spirit nearly pulled them through to an overwhelming upset and the two last. packed houses were a mighty tribute from the fans, showing that they appreciated their efforts and were solidly behind them, in victory or defeat. Congratulations, Harold, to yourself and your mates on your wonderful showing, and again congratulations to the Wolverines, and may your coming efforts in the Allen Cup playoffs be crowned with success, thereby keqtg possession.of this much-cherished piece of silverware in the “Provinces by the Sea." O O I

HE QUEBEC GHAMPS thus qualified for the finals and

were only beaten for the title on the “breaks" by the Preston Rivulets. Rather a hopeful outlook, donlt you think?

Take One Goal, Lead Into Final Game 0i’ Elimination Series_. Score 5-4. l

In a hectic wide open battle Crystals eked out a hard fought win over the scrappy Borden Na- tionals to take a one goal lead into the final game of the first round elimination series for the Island intermediate hockey title. Battling an uphill fight all the way through the Nationals forced the local team to the inmost to ﬂﬂht of! their des- perate combination attacks. Paquet of the Nationals, Phillips and Gai- lant of the focal! notched two counters each while Jackie Schur- man gave three assists.

After ten minutes of sparkling play in which the scrap raged uP and down the ice the locals opened the scoring when Phillips accepted a neat pass from Schurmsn to notch up number one. A minute later on an identical play Schur- man passed this time to Chick Gal- lsnt who bulged the twine for the second count. Just before iahe and of the period on another smooth pass Schurman fed the rubber to Phillips go make thescore 3-0. The second period saw both teamli pressing hard and only the spec- tacular work of both 8081188 iwPi the score intact. Labs in the per- iod Psquet on a mes from Camp- bell drove s. bullet like shot into the far comer of the net. In the living moments of the stanza the Crystals missed a wide open net twice due to over eagerness. At the start o’ the third. Borden hurled a sizzling attack on the loc- als’ citadel and after-Jive minutes of punishing plav Clint I-‘lowatt went in close to fool Herb Schur- man.

"rne best two-year-old at Long- wood, Worlds, is Bill Strong. He is a slick gelled chap that can turn on very fast. l-lls best mile to date is mg: 222, last quarter in 32 sec- o .

Bill Strung is sired by Truex 2.08 1-2 a son 01’ Guy Axworthy 2.08 3-4, that was sold for $1,600 at the dispersal sale of the Calumet Farm the fall of 1933 and exported to Italy. He would have been a real bargain horse to have brought to the Maritime provinces and would have made a small fortune-for an owner here. His get have set up a couple of world's records and won innumerable races since he left for sunny Italy.

The winning of ﬁfteen races in a single season is indeed an ac- complishment of outstanding mer- it arid when such success‘ is achieved it not only indicates possession of speed and class out of the ordin- ary. but also a fitness which is ex- ceptional as well.

A turf journal has recently com- piled one-half dozen owe minute pacars which have topped ﬁfteen summaries for n single season and here they are:

192i, Single o. 1.5a 1-2, starts 1o, won-l5.

"min llecalling the campaigns of Sin- kle G., the greatest warrior the har- ness racing pastime has ever seen, we recall that in 102i he met- with only one defeat and that was ad- ministered to him by the trotter rem- Mannlng 1.56 3-4. It was his "mm ﬁlm-PUSH and he was twelve years of age having started his rac- ing career as a thiee-yesr-old.

Single G. has a marvelous series of outstanding credits, being the wlner of 99 races out of his 156 starts: only three times in his Rfeat career did he fall to share in the purse awards. twice in 1925 when his sun was almost set, and in his oiuy appearance in 1920, the year he was retired.

In seven of hLa campaigns he raced in two minutes or better and he is credited with twelve such miles. He won 23o heats in 2.10 or better and 134 heats in 2.05 or bet- ter. No wonder we call him "the horse that time forgot."

Fire occurred at the Ottawa fair srounds last week which destroyed stables containing 24 stalls, an im- mense lot ofequlpment including sulkies, homers, boots. etc.. and four horses includlig the wonder- ful trotting prospect Martinos Girl (4) 2.06. a record taken over a half- mlle track.
