In 1933 as a iour-year-old he mood in iine iorm, winning sev- eral races and taking a record over g hall-mile track oi 217i 3-4.

In 1934-35 he was raced in this province and last season by virtue oi his mile in 2.12 at Alberton. was the fastest trotting stallion oi

year in the Maritimes. The prediction is made that as a seven- yeor-old in 1936 he will bcat 2.10 is not an over-sanguine one as a glance at the records will show- It is simply a matter oi condition.

Fred Cameron is the man who can bring out the best in this horse and Upton Park is an ideal place to prepare him as in the rpring the track is kept cool and moist by the sheltering trees which surround it and the shady groves and rich grass are other adjuncts that help the conditioning pro- cess. \

A iew days ago we had a lettilr from our old iriend Jim Ponder- gast, Kensingfon, ill which he en- closed a card irom Walter Found, who is now n resident oi Mcrcedo. Caliiornia.

It was near zero weather and some one suggested pulling in to the shelter oi the bank at Fitz- slnunons’ shore ior a talk.

No doubt lithe sololxs pi the harness sport had iiiredl a minimum height oi 33 inches ior racing aulkies, it would be a much saier pastime, as most accidents are caused by "blind" driving.

The death occurred at Aurora, Illinois, February 19th. oi Charles had not been identified with liar- W. Williams, aged '19. Mr. Williams riess racing interests ior a number oi years but was one or the impos- ing iigures in the racing picture oi the latter part 0i the 19th and early years oi the present century.

In the late 1890's young Williams was a telegraph operator in a very small town in Iowa. He was deep- ly interested in horses and read all the horse publications he could get his hands on and whenever an op- portunity aiiorded-which was sei- dom-atiended races. Noticing an advertisement oi a stock iarm o!- iering for sa‘e two mares, Lou and Gussie Wilkes, both daughters oi Mambrino Boy 2.26 1-2, he pur- chwed thern ior a modest sum out oi his savings.

.

William I... a horse without ony- thing very much to recommend him then, was standing ior service in Kentucky. Williams liked his breed- ing and sent Lou Wilkes to the iarm to be bred to him. she pro- duccd Axtell. Williams had the colt careiuPy tended as a younasiel’. then later on took care oi_iis de- velopment hlmseli. but when it showcd unmistakable signs oi speed he secured more expert service.

To make a long story short, as u three year old Axieli lowered the world's trotting record to 2 12 and that evening a syndicate oi horse- men purchased him irom young Williams for $105,000., the iii-time record price ior a. trotting stallion. They placed his ice at $1,000 and were not many ‘years in getting their money back.

Axtell iounded the Axworlhy family, now one oi the principal supports oi the hurries; horse game, flourishing through Guy Axwoflliy 2.08 3-4 and his sons and grand- sons as sires and his daughters as broodmares. Gussie Wilkes, the other mare that he bought ior a. song. was bred to Jay Bird and Alierton was tho re;u‘t. He was an outstanding colt performer also and at the age oi iive gained the trot- ting staillon crown by trotting in 2.09 1-4. A sum reputed to was tendered ior him but Williams reiused to sell.

Allerion became a grcat sire oi speed, some years ago holding the record ior 2.30 performers. Fred Camzrpn deveoped quite a number oi his sons and daughters while working on a western stock i?

“When I came up in '29 I don't believe any one in the National League threw a screw bail." the slender southpaw reflected a bit sadly. "But in the last two years almost every pitcher has been do- velopins the throw, thus giving batters a chance to study it day aiter day.

“Billy Herman oi the Cubs is a ilne example oi the result oi the screw hall's popularity among 1111;. ters in my own case. He used to be a cinch ior me, but in the last two years I can't seem to get him out. I never saw a batter work as hard to iigure a pitcher out than Herman did with me. He changed his stance at the plate every ‘time he iaced me, moving close and then iar away. Now he's got the indian sign on me."

Speaking oi the better young pitchers. Hubbell was high with praise ior Clydell Castleman oi the Giants and 0y Bian-ton oi.’ the Pirates. ‘

Ace iour-cared crew oi the Argo- naut club, they made a great rec- ord at the 1935 Canadian Henley at Port Daihousie, Ont" by winning the junior, intermediate and senior titles on succesive days. The row- illg world dciied its hat in tribute to .he Argo boatmen.

Through the winter they have labored ‘to keep in shape ior- the all-important 1936 campaign. Three night c. week they devoted to in- door training on the rowing ma.- chims. And every Sunday morning, sometimes in below-zero weather. they went ior a six-mile hike.

They average about eight pounds over "condition" weight which Coach Donnie Paul considers about right. Russell and scott are "veter- ans" oi the ioursome. Russell hav- ing started rowing iour years ago and Scott, 1'10 pound stroke, a year later. Last season was the rirst ior Mltcham and Parke. Scott is years old and the others are 32.

“I'll say it's the best iour Argos have turned out in my time here and that's sirloe 1924," says Coach Paul.

British Boxer Captures Fancy Q U. S. Fans

(Associated Press)

NEW YORK, March 6-—A visit- ing English boxer who really tights has captured the iancy oi United States ring ians.

He is Jock McAvoy, (Joseph Bamiord) 28-year-old Iiancashlre leatherpushcr who won the middle- weight championship oi England from Len Harvey, which means something in Britain. and the light-heavyweight championship oi the British Empire by defeating Al Burke, a. teat which likewise can get the British in a dither.

A thunderbolt right and leit gave these titles prestige when displayed over here. He whipped A1 McCoy oi Boston in 10 rounds, knocked out durable Babe Risko in one, aiter ilooring him so many times ringsiders lost count, stopped Jim-l my Smith oi Philadelphia in two, and won in 10 from Anson Green at Philadelphia.

This is the American record oi the rlng‘s latest sensation. who weighs 1'10 pounds, stands iive iect nine inchps, and is slated to meet John Henry Lewis the night oi March 13 in Madison Square Ga:- den, alter another warm-up, out- oi-town bout.o

The Lewis iight, ior the world light-heavyweight crown, may be the iirat onslaught oi the British lighter against the heavyewight ranks. pointed toward- a crack at the title held by James J. Brad- dock. Jock's ambition, so 'ti.s said. is to emulate the immortal Bob ntrsimmons who made the jump irorn the middleweight to heavy- weight titles with the greateat oi ease.

Win, lose or draw, he goes back to England to meet Jack Peterson ior the British heavyweight title.
