The regulations govem- lng the award call for the selection by six Maritime sports writers at the conclusion of the second sec- tion of the "Big Three" circuit iehedule. In case of a. tie the coach. es of the three teams will be asked to decide the winner. In the past‘ it was the practice to have the judges select one player but this year it was deemed advisable-and rightly so-to have each judge name five, giving the one regarded the most favorable five points, the second four, the third three and so on. The player receiving the most number of points will be awarded the Qneen Hotel trophy which, to become its permanent owner, must be selected three times, not neces- sarily consecutively. One of the major-provisions of the riward re- fers to sportsmanship on and off the ice. The Judges are W. J. Foley, Halifax: T. E. Corrigan and N. D. Mathleson, Charlottetown; C. J. Ganong and W. H.

A Halifax Crew Low drives from close in engin- eered vla the perfect combination route was too, much even for goalie “Skeet” Kuhn, who was forced to bend in his citadel to the tune of two goals when Abbies by the flick- er of an eyelash almost shut Wol- verines out last night in a torrid tilt that was packed, yee, jammed full of sparkling hockey and sen- sational skating. ' Hockey-Jvide Open The playdown leading Halifax clan threw defensive play to the four winds, and played a wide open game in an effort to add to their comfortable goal lead. How- ever, the best they could do on the night's play was t0 give "Dad- dy" Bilbar a number of bad scares and break the goose-egg with a fluke goal at the eleven minute mark in the third period. It was over-anxiousness that spoiled Abegwelts from piling up numerous occasions speeding Red Shirt forwards broke through the visiting forward lines, demoralized their defence only to lose the disc or miss an open net when Kuhn rushed out to save what looked like certain counters. E Workfil Hard Wolverines worked hard last night for a win that never came. Tile Abegweit defence including Bubar was almost impregnable and the forwards back-checked with a vengeance. As‘ above men- tioned it was overanxiousness that ruined almost a dozen good scor- ing chances. At. the owning of the first per- iod_ Abbies served notice on the Conn crew that they were in for one of their hardest tussles of the season. This proved to be the case when Red Shirt forwards pounced on the rubber at the face-off, raced to the Halifax blue line and almost broke through as Lavlgne went sprawling to the ice in his endeavors to stem the rush. Kuhn, sensing trouble gave his cap a jerk. patted the leather on his legs and Warm it was, and only for the stellar and at times phenomenal net minding of the diminutive goalie the score would surely have been much larger. In fact fans leaving the Forum at the conclu- sion of the set-to were heard t0 remark, "how on earth did that tenm (Wolves) score seven goals on tlhe Abbies in Halifax?" ‘Illis query is also buzzing about in the writer's cranium. Again, on the face of the Red Shirt showing last night, how did the Wolves get out in front so far? That's a ques- tion that is bound to bother the rabid fan for many a. day. The Scores Hymie McArthur, hard working and fast skating left winger of the “kid line" opened the scoring at the three minute mark in the first period when he took a pass from JackirrKane well inside the Wol- verine blue line to dive in on Kuhn who was helpless on the drive. The fans were by no means backward in showing their appreciation. Kane's stick-handling in paving the way for the goal was m added feature. Abblee skated like demons after the completion of the above play, but Kuhn was too good and the period ended one to nil. After playing herculean and at times hard-luck hockey for sixteen minutes Walter Lawlor and Hickey Nicholson started s play at midice that brought the fans to their feet ‘which eiirlea iii deafening‘ cheers when Nicholson slipped the rubber home. I The count was one of the pret- tiest ever seen on a local ice sur- face. Nciholson intercepted a Fer- guson-Moeher pass to streak for the blue line. Lawlor, breaking with him, crossed to left wing and took ' a pass at the Halifax blue line. .Lawlor in turn drew Graham aside and flipped the disc to his team- mate who rushed at Kuhn, drew (iii-ml under lily liiilid iind tho Sc l him from hi3 halllwtck ind 511ml; of the ilald Court lliia 23rd diiy if I"r-Iirullry_ A, ‘It. l!lII‘I rind ill fliri ‘J-‘ir , 3111f‘ of III» .\iii_ir-i4iy‘a rrllru.

Wolverines, who by the way were plenty dangerous all night and who continued to bore in when oppor- tunity knocked, broke the egg at eleven minutes in the final stanza. It was a tough goal, and one which Bubar never saw. Chummie Lawlor carried down left wing, whipped the heel to Mickey McGlashen, the latter re- turning the favor inside the Abbie blue line. Oliver who played a whale of a game with his old team- mate Gross, rushed Lawlor to the corner, where the wily Wolve wing- er managed to get a pass-out. The puck hit the side of Butler's net to ricochet onto Vhlce Ferguson's blade, and the rest is history. Fer-i guson at the time was streaking past the face of the uprights when the lucky goal resulted. It dropped i between "Daddys" legs before he had time to 58¢ where it came from.

On their showing last night, the Abbles should be an even bet to take Wolverines in their stronghold Monday night. The teams return on Tuesday morning for the final game here Wednesday night. Abbies have gained one goal on the Wolverines lead. The count now is: Wolverines 8, Abbies 3. The Halifax team will take a. five goal lead into their game on Monday. SUMMARY First.

Under die 1931 act the expenditure for public works gave employment to 583,492 individuals to the end of December 1932, the total wages paid being $39,532,328. and afforded a. total of 13,274,436“ man days work." ASSISTING RAILWAYS He spoke of the Government's efforts to keep work going in can- adian Pacific and Canadian Nat- ional shops. "In view of the decision at the Dominion-Provincial Conference public works have been practically been adopted," said lVlr. Gordon. The Government had decided to apply unemployment relief ex- iléhditures toward assisting select- ed families who were not subsisting on the land. The Minister proceeded to review briefly the Dominion disbursements on unemployment relief since May 1932 province by province across Canada. MARITIME DEAILS Fbiloiving are the details for the Maritime Provinces: In the Province of Prince Ed- ward Island, the total federal disbursements for direct relief up to February 14 were $9,301. This did not actually represent the full amount, because. Mr. Gordon stat- ed, accountg were frequently a couple of months in coming to hand. The Federal Government had al- so contributed 50 per cent of the labor cost of constructing a hospit- al in Prince Edward Island a- mounting to $5,328. This meant to- tal disbursements in that Province of $14,629. In the Province of Nova Scotia, direct relief was administered on "a three-way basis." rvderal dis- bursements on direct relief up to February 16 totalled $213,628. 1n addition to this the Federal Gov- ernment had contributed $7.957 to the cost of repatriating some coal miners who came‘ to Nova Scotla on the understanding that they would receive work, and were un- able to get it. Also the Dominion had ‘paid $32,000 as a contribu- tion to highways in Nova scctla. and also to the cost of the trans- Canada highway. Total disburse- ments in Nova Scotia were ap- proximately $290,900. Again in New Brunswick the three-way method or relief pre- vailed. That was that Dominion. Province and municipality each contributed a third of the total up to February 16 was $38,434. BY PROVINCES OfITAWA.

Smith, haggard, although oom- posed, silently listened today to the evidence of witnesses as the Crown sought to adduce evidence linking him eircumstantially with the crime and the subsequent theft of $128 from the Smilih house. Showed No Concern He displayed no concern as he was requested to walk up and down the court room when Kenneth Cosman was asked if he could identify the prisoner as one of two men who were seen walking down Croft Street, where the Smith home is located, on “the night of the Amherst-Mount Allison hockey game." Hcnwood, said the witness, was one of the men, but he could not identify Smith. Charles R. Brown testified that February 3 had been the night of the game. Smith's widowed mother, Mrs. Ida Smith, took the stand today to tell of g, visit which I-Ienwood paid to their home on the night of the murder. Her son, she said. had been at supper when Hen- wood arrived. They went out to- gether around seven o'clock, re- turning between eight and nine. On their return, she said, they had gone alone into a front room. Trueman retired between 9.30 and 10 o'clock, she declared.
