Messages of sympathy from all over the continent poured into the office of Cecil Hart, Canad- iens' Manager who first signed the Streak of Stratford to a pro con- tract. The messages were brief, sin- cerc, indicative of the stunned grief oi’ the writers-“most popular' player"-“rnost admired”-"idol of young Canada"-“greatest centre- man in the history of the game." “Never in the history of our nat- ional ganie has such glamour sur- rounded one of its players." wired Leo Dandurand, former owner of the Habitants, from New Orleans.

Lcssenlng the sadiicss of the sport world was' the realization that Morenz was happy, this 185; 50f1S0ll. to be back with the club that took him to the heights. In 1934, Morenz, already a veteran E3 llockeyi-Sis zo. was thought to be SUPPIHE. He was turned over to Chicago Hawks and the heart seemed fo E0 out of him. Next year he was with Rangers of New Yvrk. and got nowhere. Recalled to Canucks Butlast fall Cecil Hart came back to the helm of Canadiens, and he knew Howie. wanted him back. And until the fatal game or , Jan. 28 when his leg snapped in a collision with the boards, Howie Played perhaps the most brilliant season of his long career. So Howie was spared the agony of quitting as e, second-rater. He knew. his mates and his oppon- ents knew, he was on top when he went out. His no/me will live in hockey annals as long as his great spirit is "up there watching" Can- adiens in the playoffs. Frank Calder, N.H.L. President, was one of many who paid ti-lb. ute to Morenz today. He no doubt remembered one night in Ottawa when he said: “I never knew him to do a. mean thing. But I do re- call that more than once when an opponent had transgressed against him, Howie was the first to inter- ccde in his behalf." In that Ottawa game there was a bustling, bumping play in mid. ice. A stick went up in the air, came dovm in a long rv-c and Morcnz pitched consoles to the ice. Hee Kilrea, a yoimgster then, in a moment of impulse, had knocked Howie cut. He stood be- wildered as they carried Howie to the dressing room. Morenz came slowly out of a. coma and murmured: “I bet Hee dldn‘i. mean that. He'ii it good Sl-ly-" He was u. good Buy. l.oo.

Awarding of an Ottawa City championship game to Comwali after Hrrll had protested a. disal- lowed goal has stirred a first class controversy in the Dominion cap- ital. Duncan said, however, he would not care to say anything at the moment until he had heard both sides of the story and the matter had been referred to the C.A.H.A. The Ottawan was particularly enthusiastic over the intemational series to be played at Toronto next month between the Allan Cuppers, the British champions and the winners of the United States Eas- tern League title. “In England they are particular- ly anxious to make the champion- ship a- success," Duncan said. "Hockey is progressing there at a pace I never believed possible, but they are not yet quite up to our standards but within the next decade no doubt will have some good native players."

They have a 13- goal lead on our own Abegweits as they go into the second game of the semi-finals for the New Bruns- wick-Prince Edward Island title but after all that is of little im- portance now-it is too large a. margin to expect the Abbies to overtake-but the fact is that local fans tonight will have a chance ofwltnessing one of the finest. squads ever developed inthe Maritimes. According to eye witnesses of the game in Moncton, Maroons are af. fast, if not faster than the famed Hawks. They have been trained for the past three years to get back that Allan Cup and now they appear about ready to realize tlieir ambition. Trained by the old acc of the Hawks, Dud James, the Monetcnians have perfected a sys- tem of play that is baffling and brilliant. They are smooth, pow- erful and fast, and that is well borne out by the fact that- in 14 games they have drilled home over 100 goals and have also beaten the Kimberle Dynamiters, last years eration it 1| no dlqrrce for the Abbies to be beaten by the calibre of a team like the Maroons; Ab- brcs are all youngsters and it is up to local fans tonight to show the roam that they are still solidly be- hind them as they sally forth, far from discouraged, detern-rined toot lcast. chalk up ri win over the vis- rtors. Abbics lost nothing in their de- fcrrt, as the following taken from the Moncton Times will testify to: "The Abbies, who displayed the spirit. of famous teamsof the same narrre that have gone before them nevcr lacked for ii moment ln courage. They refused to be dis- couraged by the size of the score -rrncl it takes a. good team to do that". Quite a compliment com- ing from Moncton and one that is deserved. The tcarn returned home last night. Certainly they were aisap- pointcd but they had nothing but praise for the ability of the Mar- oons.
