Notwithstanding a some- what slushy course the times in the different heats were very good and the nnishcs close and exciting.

Much interest was also manifested in the dosen or more autoists who had their cars tuned up and showing lots of speed, some of which were hit- ting around the seventy mile on hour mark. Next Saturday should see

. even greater speed, as it is rumored

that a number ot side bets have been watered.

_

Getting down to the provincial title keen followers of the game pre- dict that the winner oi the Eastern League will win the provincial title. But the boys in the A. P.»O. League are playing pretty fast hockey, many being oi the opinion that it is faster than the eastern loop, but that fact will have to be decided when the play-oil's come, for no inter-league contests have been staged this year.

In the eastern section, Joe Matte’: Wolverines and the Truro Bearcats and Kentville should stage a pretty even series. Both the Bearcats and Wolverines got away to a poor start. but they have been going along on every cylinder since, the Wolves hav- ing run up a winning streak oi seven games in a row. Don Glennie M1160 the Truro team and their losing streak ended and they hove devel- oped into a mighty strong contender for honors.

New Glasgow and Stalin-ton with a. sprinkling oi the old independent players in their ranks may step in and give Old Man "Dope" a rude jolt, but in Halifax the boys who pill the "ponies" seem to favor U19 W111? ners oi the Eastern Lcallle to cam’ through for the 0W1“!!! m1‘-

Although hockey has had one oi m biggest years in Nova Booth the other loops throughout the province are not regarded as serious contenderi ior the title. ~

For quite a time prior to the pub- lication oi the official league stand- lngs it was thought that Manush had won out and there are still a. 10s oi fans who ieel that Heinie deserv- ed the honor over Gosiin in view of the fact that he had performed in so many more games than Goose. But the league figures stand and Goslinb name will go down with baseball im- mortals.

Goslin was out of the Washington line-up ‘ior some time, owing to an iniured arm. and even, during the season Goose never-threw a ball iii from the outfield more than a iew times. Bob Reeves, the Senator's shortstop, dashed back whenever -a bail was cracked into Goslirrs terri- tory and relayed the throw back in- to the infield.

The fact that Bucky Harris kept Goalln in the lineup at Washington last year despite his injury was a great ti-ioutsto the base hit. Har-

ris figured, and rightly, that any rims which came in for the opposition due to Goose's inability to get the ball back would be more than ofiset by Goslirrs ability with the mace. No one seems to know just how Gosllns arm was injured. There was a story going "the rounds that he had first sprained it while pitching horseshoes during spring training, but; Goslln inever admitted that this was the cause of the trouble and, for that matter, the exact cause has never been publicly settled. The arm was bad, or supposed to be, although in one game at Detroit he amazed the bleacherites- by whipping a bail in from deep centre to the plate in true Gcslin fashion. Rumors were afloat at the time that Goslin figured he might go to Detroit with Harris and that he wanted to show Detroit; fans that he was as good as oi yore. others contended that in the heat», of battle he forgot that his arm was lame. The latter probably was what happened.

' To sz-‘y the least it was a pleasing sight to see about fifty oi the youth and bcautyappear in costume. the only thing missing was the music which we understand will be o. feat- ure at such gatherings in the future. The judges, Rev. C. F. Johnson, Mr. W. H. Horne and Mrs. S. O. Hoi- royd had a difficult task in picking winners in the different sections.
