Following the playoff, CABA wrote that it’s 10% stake on the Windsor/St. John semi was $174.25 and that Walter Golding’s expenses for the Trojans were $818, while his expenses on the Canadian Finals with Winnipeg were $1,580 “leaving a deficit of $650, which must [be] taken care of by him personally. St. John had a very bad break in its play-down obligations this year, because of the long hauls from Windsor to St. John in the semi-finals and from Winnipeg to St. John’s in the Finals. We believe it is quite true that without Goldings personal efforts neither of these series could have been played and since there is no Club to bear the cost, we would recommend that St. John be relieved from payment of the tax this year.” The CABA board voted 8-0 in favour of foregoing its stake.
The runner-up St. John Trojans: Andrew ‘Beef’ Malcolm, Gordon C. Wilson, Alfred J. (Larry) Wittrien, Donald E. (Ike) Ferris, Donald D. Patterson, Henry Hollies, Ronald S. Brown, Robert D. Brown, Alden R. Clark, coach Ronald W. (Bunt) Shaw, manager Walter R. Golding.
