Finally Win Over Saint John Fans But Going Was Tough All Season
HALIFAX. N.S.— John (Peanuts) O’Flaherty has come up with another hockey championship. Last winter his Toronto St. Michael’s Majors not only won the OHA title but gave Valleyfield Braves a terrific struggle in the Alexander Cup final. This year the Majors, practically intact from a year ago, moved into the Maritimes to take a complete grip on the major hockey scene. Playing as the Beavers out of Saint i John, N.B., the O’Flaherty coached team led the Big Six over a record 90-game schedule by the proverbial country mile. In the playoffs they were even more impressive, taking eight out of 10 starts for game, set and match in these parts.

Royals’ Owner Calls Guyle Fielder Finest Prospect Ever Seen
NEW WESTMINSTER. B.C.— How good is this guy Fielder? Touted by most managers and fans in the Pacific Coast League as the year’s outstanding rookie, 21-year-old Guyle wound up his first year in senior hockey as the circuit’s eighth highest scorer. That in itself is an impressive record, but it must be remembered that the former Lethbridge Native Sons center only played 57 games this season. The tall, slender center’s record is much better when his goals per game average is computed. Then Fielder’s mark shoots up to put him third in the league standings, behind Calgary’s George Agar and Saskatoon’s Alex Kaleta. “I tell you, he’s the best prospect I’ve ever seen,” says Kenny Mackenzie, hockey-wise co-owner of New Westminster Royals.
