Halifax Shuts Out Sydney 6-0 To : frake Series Opener

HALIFAX. (GP)-Led by sharp- Ihootlng Billy Goold. Halifax At- lsntlcs ripped through Sydney Millionaire: 6-ft Monday night to take a. 1-0 lead In the best-ob nine semi-finals of the Maritime Major Hockey League.

The high-flying Atlantlcs pass- ed. checked and skated with authority in a one-sided game which saw the millionaires hum- zvled in every department.

Gonld scored two goals and as- iisted on others by Frank Ber- geron and Jack l-Iollett. Frank King and Bob Bowness got the others.

Halifax, league-leaders during the regular schedule, took a 3-0

'and in the first period, added two in the second and a single- ton in the third.

Sydney forwards were feeble an the offensive, sliooling at znalie Roy Mvlvieekin only -12 'inics-six in the third period- ind often appeared bewildered when Halifax launched assaults in their zone.

Goalie Nick Pidsodny stopped 32 shots.

Ten of the 17 penalties went to Sydney. and forward Johnny Mor- row got five of them. Halifax was two men short within the first )7 seconds of play but managed

to keep the Millionaires off bal- Anne.

The Miners dressed very qtiietly in their dressing room, suffering the inward pains of defeat that all real competitors do when they lose an important gems by a close mar- gin. On the Ice thp Miners looked good, surprisingly good cmiidering the conditions under which they played. They did not reach the Forum until nearly nine o'clock as the result of a late crossing of the Borden ferry and the icy roads which made driving I'll-IFIICNIN1. But they slioivcd no ill effects. They skated with the Islanders. outsliot them and with a stroke of luck In the last. minute could have won the game. .

. . .

One of the amazing features of the game was the almost. complete failure of the bit: lines on either team to produce. The Whitlook line which contained much of the Is- landers scoring power throughout the season was not to form while the Watson line of Miners was be- low the calibre of play they showed on their last trip here. However to- night's another night and before the series is completed these boys will be carrying a lot of the mail.

This years hard-luck player lag could easily be hanged on Ralph Shephard the Charlottetown boy who suffered a serious fracture in the region of the hip and spine while playing with the Bridge- water Hawks of the South Shore Leaitue. Ralph has already been bedfast for the past two months and must spend another month 'in bed before the fracture has healed. He suffered the Injury as another player fell on him after attemrptlng to give him it body check. The 22-year old shcphaid spent more than a month and a half in the Bridgewater Hospital before returning home here last week. His body is encased In in cast extending from his ribs to his knees.

Despite the seriousness ,of his Injury and the untold moments of pain it caused him Ralph is In very good spirits. has retained his keen Interest In hockey and plans to play again next year. Shephni-d was going very well before being injured. At the time of the mishap he was on top or the south shore League soorng parade with 13 points.

Transfer Of

Franchise Is

TAiM'PA, Fla, (APt-The Ameri- can League M-onday refused to per- mit Bill Vecck to transfer his St. Louis Browns franchise to Balti- more-an action that came as I surprise after a week of intense baseball manoeuvring.

One source said the vote was 5 to 2 against. the shift. wit.h only Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox si.dlng with Veeck.

Fought Transfer

i Three clubs were reported to have led the fight against the transfer - New York Yankees, Philadelphia Athletics, and Wash- ington Senators. Washington is only 40 miles from Baltimore and a major league club In the Mary- land city would undoubtedly draw heavily on fahs of the entire area. Previously Senator officials ex- pressed approval of the shift.

Representatives of the eight American League cities met with president Will Harrldge for more than five h0llI'S.

In the end, the league announced it was inadvisable to permit the shift because of the short period before the baseball season opens in mid-April. It was thought St. Louis fans would give more sup- port to the Browns this year.

Another Transfer Move

Brownsl Refused

posal by Lou Perlnl of Boston to move his Braves to Milwaukee.

Unanimous consent is required in the National League to make a franchise shift. Six of the eight American League cities could vote 5. change in that circuit.

Both the Browns and the Braves lost money heavily last. year.

A high baseball source. who de- clined use of his name, said he doesn't think the American League move affects the National League matter.

"I knew Perinl wa.s tickled to get out of Boston." he said.

While the meeting was in pro- gress Frick talked to reporters in the lobby. i

"There are just not. enough' amusement dollars to support two clubs in St. Louis. The amount of money that supported two clubs there 10 years ago is not enough today." he ..sald.

"I'm in favor of transferring tiie franchise. but not at this time." Prick added. "It. would have been nonsensical to make the move so close to the start of the season. We would have been up to our necks in lawsuits."

Many observers here took this statement as an Indication that the

National League might have trouble in its switch. However. Bob Quinn. general

manager of the Braves, said:

"Our situation is not similar to the Browns. We already own Mil- waukee. We have applied to the National League to move from Boston to Milwaukee and we do not expect to change our minds. It's up to the league."

The Oherlottetown Ieiuide-ti jumped into the drivers seat In their semi-final series with the Glace Buy Miners by whipping Hub

Murph Chamberlain's hard driv- lng charges scored two third period goals to breakup ii. 1-l deadlock and the give the home team the victory In as bu-Illiantly ii played series opener as probably eyei- has been witnessed here.

The Islanders ace penalty killers ”l-Iub" Beaudry and Ronnie Hurst scored the winning and Insurance tallies. Beaudry deflected Larry Travis bluellne slap shot to sac- count for the winner while Hurst fired a It-A-long pass Into an open Glace Bay net in the dying seconds of the game to clinch the victory.

Buillet. Bob Gray. who played a. standout game. opened the scor- ing for the Islanders early In the middle frame. Johnny Raynak scored late in the same period to knot. the oount at 1-1.

The heavier and stronger Is- landers played a hard. bumping game and the Islanders defense in particular dealt out plenty of punishment to the Glace Bay for- wards. The Miners also dished out is fair share of bumps in the rug- ged contest.

Referees Jim Kelly and George O'Dona-hue called 15 penalties. nine against. the Islanders and six against the Miners. All penalties were two minute sentences.

Sensational Game

Goalie Al Miller played 3. aeri- iiational game in the Islanders net. 'l.'ne former Q.s.I-IL. star gave his best display of the season as he turned aside 26 shots, many of them of the difficult variety.

Mlillar was particularly out- standing in the first period when he was called upon to handle 11 shots. The Miners had five shots on the Islanders net in the" open- ing session before the Islanders could direct a. drive at the cap- able Don Lockhart in the Bay cage. Jose and Raynak had out.- standing scoring opportunities from point blank range but each time Miller cutgueesed them.

The game was an hour late get- ting underway as the Miners were forced to travel by bus and could not arrive here before nine o'clock. Despite their late arrival they opened e gsme with a fast burst and held an edge during the first period.

The Islanders suffeied through penalties in the opening minutes. Gordon. who started off in.mugh- tiough fashion. was sent to the pen- al-ty box at the 64 second mark for boarding. About four minutes later Clements and Beaiudry for the Is- landers and Bonhornme for the Miners headed for the sin bin.

Despite the penalties there were

no goals scored in the first twenty minutes although the period was probably the best. to be seen here this winter. Both teams gave It the works in an effort to get that .first goal. i, The Islanders defense of Geoige McLagan and Larry Travis showed brilliant form while the Islanders were short.-handed in the first period and from the press box it appeared as though McLagan was playing one of his finest games since coming to the Islanders.
