Beavers Out Saint John Beavers, who stoned the season with the other three, are not in the new circuit. They would have to drop seven of their best mm to qualify. With their hopes of turning the M.H.L. into a commercial loop shattered, it is reported that Saint John promot- ers may pick up some of the in- eligible men from the other teams and form a league in the New Brunswick city, where senior hockey has been drawing great crowds. Only last week Moncton, Saint John and Charlottetown were lined up in a commercial circuit but President James l‘. Wry of the M.A.H.A. warned them they would automatically suspend themselves in their first game. The game was postponed, and over the week end Manager Jack Conn of the Wol- verines influenced Hawks and Abegweits to stay in the amateur circuit. Voices Pleasure President. Wry, speaking- from Amherst, immediately expressed pleasure at the new turn of events. "I am pleased tc hear of the formation of the new league and I feel they have done the right thing," he said. "I wish them ev- ery success." Uncertainty had been caused by the failure of Maritime Hockey League teams to secure transfers from the C.A.H.A. for a number of players. Flollowing definite re- fusal from President Gllroy, Mone- ton, Halifax, Saint John and Charlottetown formed the Mari- time Mercentile Hockey League. hoping to drop ineligible men later on and play a series for the Allan Cup playdowrls. Wlhen Moncton brought in three new players from Winnipeg and Saint John added another from the same western city. they were accused oi’ raiding, and the "Big Four" was given its choice between commercial hockey outside the C.A.H.A. and amateur play undertthe Associations regu- lotions. By remaining under the CAI-LA. banner, Mcncton Hawks, Canadian champions, lose four men--Tony McLean, Albert Medinski and Duke Campbell, all of Winnipeg, and Charlie Marshall of Ottawa- but still have a strong line-up. Halifax Wolverines, who pre- vlously dropped their only inelig- ible man, Art Whittaker, are un- changed, while Charlottetown Ab- egweits take the heaviest bump of the lot, losing seven-Brenneman. Getliffe, Renaud, Smith, McCabe. Desilets and Jim Kelly. Abbles will fill out their ranks with promising juniors and intermediates and probably keep Brenneman, Clet- liffe and Desilets around for next season. While league affairs were being settled over the week-end some re- sentment flared over the sugges- tion of Prsldent Aicide Oagnon of the Quebec AHA» for the Allan Cup finals from Halifax to Montreal. "In my own opinion neither Pruidcnt S. A. Gilroy nor the C.A.H.A. executive has the power to take silch. a ' step," declared Sheriff O. D.- 81111116! of Amhmt.

Glen Brydson, a former Maroon, raced through to pick up a double relay from his line-mates, Carl Voss and Syd Howe, and drive home a scorcher that just caught the corner. A penalty to Jerry Shannon gave Maroons the opportunity they were looking for in the third period. At the seven-minute mark Bob Gracie got the equalizer, lifting home a hard shot from the side near the blue-line as Maroons kept five men on the attack. His two Wings, Herb Cain and Gus Marker, were both awarded assists on the play- Bill Cowley, recruit Eagle centre, broke away from the pack with only Stew Evans and goaler Alex feet out and rapped it smartly home.

This setback was the third straight the Bruins have taken from Clem Ioughlins speedy play- ers and the most humiliating one they have suffered on their home surface in several years.

Almost every trick the Hawks attempted was crovmed with suc- cess, but the Bruins. over-pressing most of the way, flubbecl every scor- ing chance while making Lorne Chabot appear to be the greatest goalie in hockey. The gleeful visitors countered once in the first session, banged home four pucks in a six-minute stretch of the second period play, and broke “Tlny" Thompson for the sixth and last time early in the final period. Mush Mhrch coll- verted two of the great Howie Mor- enz's beautiful passes into coun- ters and Paul Thompson also suc- ceeding in breaking his brother twice, with the assistance of the able Doc Romnes.
