SYDNEY. N. S.. Tension is high here in the Cape

April 10 - Breton capital as Sydney Mil- lioniaires and the P. E. Islanders prcipare for their seventh game of Maritime Major hockey play- off finals at Sydney Forum to- night. Winning the sixth game here last night by a 3-1 count has given the Sydney club a 7-5 point advantage that will only take a tie game to decide the title in their favor. . . . .

But the Leo Lamoureux-coach- ed Islanders are rested and ready to make it a real battle for vic-

tory that can send the series into an extra eighth game, which ac-. cording to reports here. will be played over neutral ice. with Halifax the probable playing site later this week. The Islanders will be a determined band of pucksters when they hit the ice in a do or die effort and what. is more. are confident that they can i do it. 5 0 . .

Arriving in Sydney for the first game here on Tuesday night after a long. tedious bus trip that kept them on the road for 16 of the 24 hours U. took to make the i"ll). the players were definitely tired and restless and at a hand- icarp in turning in their best per- l0l'l'lI3flCe during the contest that took place some four and onc- half hours after their arrival on Tuesday afternoon. The fact too. that two of the players. Wes Tralnor and Johny Horeck were presented with summons to ap- pear in a civil court action in

There is no denying. however. that the Sydney team turned in their best performance of the series to date on Tuesday night to earn their 3-1 victory. was a close checking but cleanly play- ed contest all the way. that saw both teams come up with good. hockey. Sydney definitely held the playing edge for two periods: to run up a 3-0 advantage with the L Islanders miaking ii last perlodl stand that marked their best efforts of the night and earned thcm their only tally. i

definitely not in his bei mood; for hockey. Said Johnny: "Withi all the abuse and criticism that. lias been thrown at me since we played that Saturday night game here. I was scared to lift in finger and really buckle down and play hockey. Every time I did any- thing on the ice the fans went after me verbally like I was av criminal or something." . . .

It was not hard to understand what Johnny was referring to. because even in the press box at that game one could hear some choice phrases and words being thrown at him. It was no secret either that some fans had em-. pioyed the use of water pistols that were directed It the Island- -ers players and more than one was the target for apples, rubbers,l
