"Our champions. whether they bg class ‘A’ or class ‘B’ seniors or intermediates, will be ready to defend the cup in the playdowns; and I feel sure that after the an- nual meeting of the C.A.H.A. awarded the finals tothe Mari- tlmes for 1085—the first time in history-there will be no change in the award." He added that there seemed to be some confusion in other parts of Canada regarding the ‘Maritime Amateur Hockey Association and the Maritime Hockey League-two entirely different bodies. “The M.A-H.A. is the Maritime Hockey Association, whiolr-Lcon- trols amateur hockey in the Mari- times," he said, "while the‘ ‘MHL. is the Maritime Hockey League. only a league. ‘There areabout 20 other senior leagues in these ’prov- irlces, and intermediate and jlmior leagues as well." New Angle Introduced AMHERST. N. 8., Jen. 4--A day of stress in Maritime hockey ei“c!"5 was , ‘ tonight by an unconfirmed report that Moncton Hawks, Canadian amateur cham- pions, mightxeconsidcr their de- cision to enter commercial ranks. It was stated that Hawks might go into a league with Halifax Wolverines and 'I‘ruro Bearcatr. and possibly Charlottetown Abe- vweits. under iurisdictlon of the C adian Amateur Hock-v Associ- ation. and make anoi-hu- bid for the Allan Cup. President James l. Wry of the Maritime Amateur Hockey Auoci- atlon said he could not confirm this or any of the many other ru- rnnrs going the rounds. Monet-o, Saint John and Char- lotrtown will automatically sus- n"\rl ih-mselves if they go through with their announced plan for commercial hockey! l They had expected that. and the flurry toriav was ‘ caused by C.A.H.A. “resident A.

By final-dim’: special Win) HAIrmAX, Jan. 4--That puzzled look on Jack Conn's face tonight is the look of a hockey anager who has on hand what he regards as a powerful rlnkful of Allan Cup material but doesn't know what to do with it. His Halifax Wolverlnes—strong enough to put up a stiff battle for top place Ln the circuit that has held the cup for two yearkis a team without a league. And. as ‘:7 " E. A. Gilroy of the Can- adian Amateur Hockey Association will tell you, you must have a league to get into the play-offs for Canada's’ amateur hockey title. Where the Rub Comes In What rlles Jack Conn is the tack-es he puts iwthat his team is apparently out of the running for the cup because the other clubs of the Maritime Hockey League won't play ball with the C.A.H.A. He has, he says, and as the result he's out of the league with a team of players containing only one man failing to measure up to C-A.H.A. standards of eligibility. Hg took the Wolves out of the loop- yesterday when Charlotte- town, Moncton and Saint John decided to continue play in the af- filiated Maritime Mercantile League with their ineligible play- ers. in defiance of the C.A.H.A. Promptly, President Gilroy made it known the league would be out- lawed as soon as one game was Played. Thus, Wolverines, with the M.H.L.~'1'Olli8.il0 the cup playoffs blocked, were looking around for some new cup trail when word came from Gilroy that the C.A.H.A. would sanction no league formed to qualify them. That would be onlyfit‘ "set-upflhccordlng to the C.A.H.A. H1030]. "Discrimination" To Conn, all these moves-and a few more that haven't been re- counted-am beginning to fake on the aspect of "discrimination." It lookb to him, he said today, as though “they don't want us-in the finals for the Allan Cup.” He wasn't quite sure Just what to do about it, but his first step was to be a conference with his loam. He‘ was certain of only one thing: Wolves were ready to drop their lone ineligible and play strictly amateur hockey under the C.AH.A., looking to a place in the play-offs. But how to go about it was an- other question. Conn expected t" make an ouncement some time tonight as to his team's future. Would Invite Wolves Back SAINT JOHN, N. B., Jan. 4- Baint John Beavers will probably try to arrange that Halifax be in- vlted back into the Maritime Mer- cantilc Hockey Mamie. iwcordina in word given out at club head- quarters today. Steps to be taken had not been determined. 'I‘llc feeling was that the Haligonians should be extended an invitation because they may not be penult- ted to enter Allan Cup play. ac- cording to a statement from Pres- ident E. A. Gilroy of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. In discussing the Maritime sen- ior hockey situation today mem- bars of the Saint John hockey club str~sscd the point the? "his mut- ter is slrictly betwrcn James E Wry and E. A. GlIIOY." Going info the matter in detail they said that Wry as President of the Maritime Amateur Hockey Associ- ation and Gilroy in his capacity as Canadian Amateur Hockey Asso- ciation president, should fight it out as io th_e eligibility of players linod up by _ Maritime Hockey League and Marrime Mercantile Hockey Ia-‘cue clubs. William M. Ryan of the Beavers‘ executive and the club president. Illnicr R. I-igraham. agreed on this point when interviewed. They rur- tbei-more wanted it understood that the nrxeantlle setup was ar- ’ by rrcsident Wry of Am- hem soon after tho letters return from the C.A.H.A. registration committee session in Toronto in November and thvt they were giv- en to un":"stand from Mr. Wry at that time that the industrial Dllll had been outlined to him by Oil- roy and .his associates.

Reg Mahar scored half way through the overtime on a hizh shot which completely focled Woods Maroon net guardian. Charlottetown Abegweits fully un- derstood this, too, and in forming the mercantile league they pledged themselves to stick together as a four-club unit. The Beavers had not done any raiding, said Mr. Ryan. He went into particulars of how the new; team members were brought here and said in every instance they had been promised releases from th:ir~old clubs and transfers from their branches to the M.A.H.A. He felt the C.A-H.A. refusal to weigh the transfer application matter as presented by President Wry at Toronto was unfair. The Maritime clubs had been informed by Mr. Wry that he ‘was not-given a hearing at all in this regard, despite a mass of ' documentary evidence in support of the appli- cations. In the face of affidavits, Nlnlhl‘ tronsfer forms and club releases the parent oraanizatien still would not consider the applications and even worn so far a to disregard industrial transfer and strident transfer claims. This, in the saini John officials. seemed high-hand- ed on the part of the C.A.H.A.

"Why I cabled offers to Miss Jacobs and Mus. Whlttlngstall ygs- tETdB-Y." he said, "and I cabled Miss Jacobs I-Eililn today. I told her not to be foolish, that $20,000 was large money. But I haven't heard from either of them yet." Emphatiu Denial In the cold afteli-ilght of O'- Brlen's announcement last nlgilt that these three had all but agreed $0 forsake the amateur ranks, it appeared today as though the wish had been father to the thought From Melbourne.

Raises Offer All of this left the O'Brien untouched. Although the first offer, on which he based last night's an- nouncement at a celebration din- ner to his latest converts. George Lott and Lester Stccfen, was only 24 hours old, he promptly dis- patched another today to Miss Jacobs as follows: “Raise offer to $20,000 guarantee and all expenses tour March 20 to June 1. Do not be foolish. This i: effervescent real money. Please cable answer collect’ I-le also cabled Mrs. Whiitting- stall lifting his offer to her from $5.000 to 810,000. As for as Parry was concerned. Melbourne, Aus- ixalia. presented a problem in com munications O'Brien couldn't solve The Perry situation. O'Brien said. was not involved. "After the nationals last fall Perry made several excuses when I talked to him." he said. “He was afraid his standing would be ruined in England. He didn't want to embarrass his fiancee. He said he was pledged to thh Australian tour. "Appazently these objection.- have disappeared because he did notify my Pacific coast represen- tative that the deal would h: clcscd upon return from Australia Feb. 23. I have that definite."

We wolld naturally look for Bud Axworthy to be a champion, as his sire Guy Axworthy is credited with 1'16 in the 2:10 list .and his full brother Lee Axworthy 125856 has been a worlds double champion for nineteen years. The two years he was in the stud before his untimely death, he sired ‘i0 foals in all. 50 oi them in the standard list; 1'7 in the 2:i0 list; 5 in the 2N5 list and l in titc 2:03 list.

Another marvelous pacer in that Antipodean country ls the twelve year old gelding Harold Logan, who finished third in the above race, starting 60 yards back of scratch.

In the second the Kmgflsh got reckless and shouted "Come on and fight" to Max. Baez‘ saw red and Levinsky saw stars for about five minutes. He did not know the fight was over when they carried him into his dressing room.
