There were other highlights such as the staging here of the Wo- men's Maritime Golf Championships, the brilliant Island open tennis tournament etc. all going up to add another successful chapter to ls- land athletic achievement: and to all participants and to those behind congratulations are due. As we embark on another year of rport the picture is rather gloomy with wur raging across the was and many athletes already enlisted.

At the start of the season it ap- peared that tlierc fluid be n0 Jun- irrr league in operation and such proved to be the case_ But nothing daunted tho strong Junior Royals played a series of cxhlbttlon games during the season; two were with Mczzctan “flzr-lezr WhOm they fle- fealefl by scores of 10-0 and 10-2 and the others against. thc Island's senior Rangers, a series in which they more than held their own: St. Dunstarrs were also engaged several time! but Royals each time out proved too strong for the Uni- versity sextette. But these exhibi- tion games proved of immense val- ue to the Royal» once playoff time came around. Coincident with the releasing of the playdown dates Junior Abbies formed a team to challenge the Royals right: to the Cit-y title and W. R. Altken Trophy; l. two game total goal series was arranged but Abbies proved to be no match for the starry Royals; they wcnl down t/o two straight de- feats by lopsided scores which gave the Cily champions the right to mcet the western Island champions - for ‘the, Inland title.

As a. result of the draw Royals were pitted against a strong St. John Pontiac; loam: Pontlacs had been groomed for the Maritime title and boasted a strong lineup. And strong they were. In the first game played at St. John, Royals after having a blg lead barely eked our. a 6-5 decision which gave them a one-goal lead to take into tin second game at home. The re- sif. was very much in doubt as Pontiacs tied t-he round score early in the first. period of the second match but in the eiid Royals. led hv starry "Tnrky" Whitlock brat tho St. John team ‘1-5 to take the round 13-10 and advance to the Maritime finals.

MINIATURE RIFLE SHOOTING By far the most outstanding achievement in this branch of rifle shootin was the wln of e. Dominion-wt e competition by the No. 6 District Signals Rifle team led by Major W. A, Smith. This competition is sponsored by the . inion marksmenir. .22 small bore rifle league and the local shot-S are deserving of the highest. com- mendation. Iii winning they posted a scone 483 points with 23 rings to lead the Royal Canadian En- gineers of Halifax. 'I‘lie runners- up had the some score of 483 but had one less x-ring. (An x-rlrig is a shot that hits the small ring in the centre of the bull's eye in the target). _ Members of the vlctorimis team were: W. A. Smith. E. R. Burke, C. D. Ives. R.E.Jenklims.l\.D.Mac— Master. Alternates on the team were: D. E. Mayne and Art SD11- Q . All during the‘ winter months however the miniature Rifle Club was in full swing and every week- ly shoot saw the kcencst of com- petition with posslbles being pael- ed Oll no less than three occas- ions. Great interest is evident among the members and attend- anCBs were very gOOd each night. Al. tho end of the season the on- iiual banquet. and election of of- ficers took place and the various prizes wen during the season awarded. ecn-eeeeceteelelcc e .c 2 3PEED5KAT1NG a eeeeueneceeeeeeec More and more skaters each year are taking to the “reachers" (speed skates) as this popular is making rapid strides back into the position it once occu led. At almost every skntlng nigh at the Forum you can see scores try- ing out the new blades and as o result the annual Island Skating; Championships are an event that is looked forward to eagerly. This past. season another largo crowd of spectators saw the 5H0- cessftil staging of the Champion- ships aiid they also witnessed some thrilling ice duels. Two new iecords ivere chalked up during the meet. Clntrc Arclici- cracking the first mark in the under l4 _yeer old class when he streaked around the 880 yards in one min- ute, 38 and 4-5 seconds. The other mark fell beneath the flying blades of Mollie I-Iennlgar Island ladies champion when she went on ex- hibition mile against time in 1:38 4-5 to break the existing mark. But those were not theonly highlights of the meet. Outstand- ing was the sensational duel wit- nessed all evening between George McLeod of Charlottetown and Pete Milbum of Montague for the men's senior title. By far the best of their fields these two speedlters skated themselves into exhaus- tion only to wind up sharing the crown with b0 points apiece, But for a bud mistake McLeod today would be undisputed champion. Winner of the 440 and 880 McLeod was the victim of a bad spill in the l-mlle and instead of seeking a place took thin ‘easy and was lapped. which nu Omst-caily dis- qualified him. Mllburn went on to wln easily but McLeod gained his tie for the tlt‘e when he took a hairline decision over Mllbum in the final event on the program the gruelling three-mile race. Mc in gaining h D0 points was victor n the 440, 880. and three-mile while Mllburn was second in the 440, aao, tl-mlle and winner of the l-mile. The meet was one of tho finest every staged here and promoter C. F. Arciicr is deserving of praise for his fine work. With another skating season llpcn us plnng iii-e eoeeececeeceeeon. .

On the three city alleys. Chai- loltetown, Y.. and Holy Name four ond five leagues were in operation with probably 200 bowlers taking part in each alley. The interet tak- en is shown clearly in the scores that; are being chalked up. They gel. higher and higher every will‘ and it would be safe to my that the Island possesses some of tin- finest five pin bowlers iii the Marl- tlmes, both ladies and gentlemen. Perhaps the biggest feature 0i the season Just passed was t-he p0.»- slble of 450 made by Bill McNeil! on the Charlottetown Alleys in a match game which we think is the first possible ever rolled liercThere have been many come within a fraction of it but never seeniul to reach the charmed circle. Summer-side also is going iii strong forithe trundling game and interest in that centre is incl-eu- ing yearly with more and more taking part. Matches between Charlottetown and Bummerside are taking piace also and last season marked the visit of f. e St. Joli" Police team for two ga er between the Plymouth Rocks strong Is- land team. These some ladies teams also made two visits to the mainland and on each trip were successful in chalking up their quota of victories.
