Sport Echm From Prliicc county The Aces have won a Marltimt champlonshlpl It's no use waxing dramatic and saying it was a long, hard fight. It wasn't. The bums lhinst our very good outport ag. gregations on Prince Edward Is. land provided a little excitement. The O'Leary Maroons put: up . gallant battle, but the Aces had g little too much class for them. The Borden Nationals. who won expected to furnish the stiffest opposition on the Island, dldn-3 quite live up to their advance no- tices. But they did give the Ace: some argument. Especially in their home rink in Borden. O I The Milton Hornets threw brief scares into the Ace ranks. Both at the Forum and at time Raceway Stadium, for fleeting minutes they looked as if their s_tlrig could prove fatal. But the Ace thlnl period blitzkrelg, for which they have become renowned. was too fast and furious for the Milton boys. As long as the Aces stayed on the Island they were given fairly interesting qpposltlon. But when the malnlanders started to visit; us the competition began to show symptoms of anti-climax. Neither Fredericton nor Antlgonish show- ed much hockey ability. though boys of both these teams showed considerable sportsmanship in de- feat. It was a strange mm for n. Maritime crown because each team that sttmmerslde tackled seemed a little weaker than the one be- fore. O'Leary was the hardest team to eliminate. and Antigonlsh the easiest. 0 a we have a. feeling that mean mediate "B" hockey 1-I 1'10‘ I V8?! going concern in Nova scotla or New Brunswick.
