Trials Of A Traveller

WELL, we have had our annual Marck excursion to the

With no air transportation available early Saturday, we start- ed by train and everything was uneventful on the rails te Borden. We arrived on time (10 a.m.) but were told by a most ec trainman that there would be ‘considerable’ delay. He was cer- tainly not fooling as we waited until 6.30 Saturday evening to start our ice trip to Tormentine. After that eight and one-half hour stay in Borden, we, like the rest of the ene. passen- gers, had high hopes the boat might have a ‘softer’ run on the way back. But once again we were dead wrong as it ss pathos ly 3 in the morning when we hit Tormentine.

TRAIN connections were unheard of by then but _we ree te get to Halifax for a few hours to transact our making an acquaintance with a Halifax traveller, we — a ear drive through to Halifax. After ‘enjoying’ some hori road an, we reached Halifax at 9.30 Sunday morn

Ww ly made appointments with Hanson Dowell and Ron Slade, our “MAHA friends, and got together with them around noon. In the meantime we were busv on the phone making ar- rangements with TCA and MCA to get us back to Charlottetown by Sunday night. We were successful in this venture and did get back on the ground at Charlottetown airport shortly after 7 o’- elock Sunday night.

Folks Are Friendly

WE don’t suggest such a trip every few days but the whole affair did have its compensations.

CNR officials surely did everything they could for us all at Borden. They well knew that none of the train passengers were overjoyed at the long delay but they helped us all they could. We invaded the privacy of the station house at Borden where the genial and affable agent tried to keep us posted on the doings of the ce yard Island and her rescuer, The Abegweit.

Our good friend Buddy MacAleer even invited us to the rail- road gang living car and shared some of his delicious chicken and ham sandwiches from his lunch box.

ALL this rambling may not belong in a sport column but we found so many good sports all day Saturday that we thought it ight.

ce on the boat, passengers soon got really acquainted and just about everybody was calling the other fellow by his first name before docking took place at Cape Tormentine. Folks de- cided it was no good beefing about conditions and folks settled back to make the best of the situation. Everybody on the boat from Captain MacKenzie down was courteous and helpful de- spite the weariness of the whole thing. Some of the crew look- ed mighty tired after the hardships of the previous forty-eight hours but they still were able to act as though everything was

Playoffs Start Tonight

The Stanley Cup semi-fipals open tonight in Montreal and Toronto and we are expecting the two Canadian teams to grab the leads in their respective sets.

Of course, there are plenty who do not agree with this line ef forcasting but if Rube can be wrong on the weather, surely we have the same right in the hockey forecasting.

There are those who insist Chicago will again slay the power- ful Montrealers. We can’t see it that way at all because we do not think the Chicago defence can contain,the Habs.

On the other front, we aren't calling Leafs to oust Rangers without a fight, However we do think the New Yorkers will be mighty fortunate to win t wo hoc a =, In fact, we are going alorg with Toronto in five gam

Leafs Keeping Confidence To Themselves This Year :

TORONTO (CP) Toronto | Maple Leafs, winless in their last five National Hockey League regular season games and still smarting from their Stanley Cup semi-final upset to Detroit last year, are making no loud protestations of confi- ; dence over this year’s semi-

final.

There was speculation that a prior fight with middleweight champion Gene Fullmer last Dec. 9 had weakened Paret and

made ‘him an easy target for Griffith's battering ram attack in the 12th round of Saturday’s fight. Referee Ruby Goldstein finally stopped the fight and awarded Griffith the title on a technical knockout.

Imlach put Leafs through a light workout Monday, aimed at keeping them sharp, but not tir- ing them out. Centre Dave Keon, used only sparingly Sun- day in Toronto’s 5-4 loss to Bos- ton Bruins, was given a rest for the day.

Also not practising, and not expected to see action in the semi-final, were defenceman Carl Brewer and left winger Olmstead. Brewer was released Monday from hospital after an operation to relieve a severe charleyhorse.

The rushing defenceman, one of the club’s top rearguards, is not figured to be back for an- other couple of weeks or so. Olmstead, with a cracked shoul- der bone, ma but not much, said Imlac

Somewhat Bitter Feud.
