Tonight's races It Canada's Fin- est Track will feature a 2.24 Pace with eight entries, among them Mary Mei-k that took a record of 2.12 4-5 last year but was a. great disappointment in her first start at Summerside Dominion Day, There will also be C. Albert Bud- Iong that raced so well last sea- lon and met with accidents to his lriver and hopples in his last t-wo starts. Then there is the redoubt- lble Billy McVay, unbeaten so far this season, and Dale B. that took e new record of 2.15 2-5 at Sum- merside Dominion Day and lost one of the heats by a nose. The above are a few examples of what you will see under the lights to- night. ‘

About the luckiest man in the harness horse game we know of is Harold Siead, Brzickley, \\"ho has developed, trained and raced the full brothers Buddy Budlong and Dudy Budlong, both by Calumet Budlong 2.02 3-4, dam. that iron sided race mare Dude Pot-empkln 2.07 1-4, holder of the track trot- ting record at Alberton. Buddy - turned over to the trot. this Spring and without much preparation — won at that gait last Saturday

night in 2.16 4-5 Eiid Dudy won,

on the pace at Montague last Wed- nesday iu 2.13 4-5 \\'IllCh was the fastest heat of the afternoon.

Second to Dudy and right on his heels was Bee Budlong, that took e. record the same afternoon of 2.15. And-everyone was glad to see C. H. Chandler's Lusticia win her event and lower her record to 2.14 3-5. The race had scarcely finished when Walter Hennessey of Charlottetown had completed a dcal with Yea and MacEachern end is now the owner of Bee Bud- long. She will be shipped to Joe Hennessey today to race on the N. B. circuit. Other records we have noted recently pro Mac Watson in 2.20, Miss Bonnie Grattan 2.17 1-5, Dia- Budlong 2.22 1-5, Donna Clegg 1.2a, all of these locally.

‘mien was e surprise win at lhc Union Track races Thursday waning when Vella la Vella head- sd that good pacer Jud-d in the

inal two heats in one of which

e paced in 2.11.

We are glad to see success com- Lng to the Joe l-lennessey stable which he is campaigning on the mainland. At St. Stephen on Wed- nesday he won with Kavola and placedthird 1n the summary ivith Connie Clegg, that has improved very much. On Thursday he won the Free For All with True Hal, heading such good pacers as Pine Ridge Alex, Wildcat Volo and HarryDirect, and also won the classified pace with Roy Shelburne having s better summary than whizaway, driven by Billy Hood. Kavola and Roy Shelburne are owned by P. C. McCormac, Char- lottetown. True Hal and Connie Clegg by Waltcr Hennessey. By In way Teddie Wleir is driving t! J. D. Mehan, st. Stephen, N.

We had s welcome letter lest week from our friend J. L. Read. Truro, in which he mentioned that Billy Hood was leaving for the United states to race over the Maine tracks and possibly finish hp at Foxboro in the fall the same ls he did last year. Arrzot Pointer end Whizaivay in the Hood stable sre both owned by Harry Breen, Halifax, N. S.

Racing in Maine this week was over the mile track at Old Or- tharri but no results have come to us. Unlike Roosevelt Raceway Ind Saraioga, meetings are held in the afternoons and a lot of the patronage comes from tour- ists sumrnering in the vicinity of Dld Orchard.

The new race track at Laurel. Maryland, had a. successful meet- ing under the lights. A new trot- ting ‘record was set up by Peter D'Day of 2.07 1-5. The people of Baltimore and vicinity who had never witnessed much racing ex- cept the runners. are taking to hie new sport with s pQe he! bf enthusiasm.

By the way. Guy Day is proving to be considerable of a sire. In ad- dition to Peter Day who entered ‘the 2.10 list Dutch Harboftook a record of 2.04 2-5 recently. He is by Guy Day and his dam is a

granddaughter of Cita. Frisco, the

*2.ll. Princelike. the

dam of volomlte. Another Guy Day is Coming Day 2.08 1-5, sn- other new 2.l0 trotter.

In Foxboro races held July 3rd. we notice Daphne Hanover, winner of the fourth race, driven by Earle Avery. Driver Louis Praught had won a second with Miss Bumpas and placed third in another race.

Chatham N. B. that was some years ago considered the fastest track in the Dominion has been steadily built up and was the sc ne of a first class racing prog m July lst. The feature attraction was a mobile starting gate used for the first time in New Bruns- wick. It was built by Eldon J. Fow- ley of W. S. Loggie Co. Chatham, and his assistant, Lem MacDonald. There were only fourteen scores in the whole afternoon's racing. The starting was done by Glen Jen. kins, well known to horsemen throughout the Maritimes, and great praise was given him for the results obtained. The gate was also considered tops.

The 2.30 class named the Miri. mid“ Renewfl-l. for a purse of $1,000, was won by Starlight Di. rect, owned by W. S. Allingham, Gflsetown. N. B. in straight heats. This D3061‘, it will be remembered.

In e letter to a friend here Bob Ryfln. HORN-On. Maine, writes that he still owns Uusty Misco 2.07 1-4 and likes him better every day. I-fe had just sold Brewer Budlong to a horseman who is racing in Foxboro, Mass. Brewer was p111. chased as a two-year-old from Sigsworth Bros, Cardigan, and this Spring as a four-year-old showed sensational speed. Bob got the nice figure of $3,000 for the son of Calumet Budtlong.

Our Montreal correspondent cor- rect»! vs regarding the half-mile track record for the Province of Quebec and writes that Guy H. 2.00 3-4 paced three miles in bet- ter than 2.04 at St. Jerome in 1941. We were under the impression that Simcoe Harvester still held the record with 2.04 1-4 et Quebec City.

Ontario has the advantage of an early climate, that is there is very little snow on the ground in Winter although the Iempersture may be nearly as low as here. ‘There are tracks that keep open such es Dufferin, all the year e- round and that makes it possible to get horses into condition to race earlier 1n the Spring than we can/At Strathroy last week Bill Herbert, who has two of the best three-year-old pacers in Ontario, won the Three ‘Year Old‘ Pace with Ora G. Herbert. Thejirst heat in 2.10 2-5 and the secaid in 2.12. J. Herbert, his other pacer, won the third heat in 2.11 2-5.

The name Blue Again 2.02 1-4 brings memories of his winning the 1946 Santa. Anita pacing derby. This year he tried again but could not get back to his old time form. However, he is winning the flree- for-alls in Ontario and at Strath- roy paced in 2.08 2-5, 2.09 3-5, 2.10, to head the good pacer Merry England end field.

fans will have

Local baseball the opportunity of witnessing a mainland team in action tomorrow afternoon when a Moncton squad

of ball tossers will play an ex- hibition encounter against the local All Stars. ft is expected that u record attendance for the season will be on hand for it is a well known fact that outside the Prov- ince teams invariably draw large crowds.

1' + i- It Very little is known of tomor- row's visitors with the exception

of the fact that they are a capable crew of ball tossers comblnang youth and experience to make up a. well balanced outfit. The All Stars will doubtless be facing the toughest opposition they have en- countered so far this year and if they can get by the Monctonians they should stamp themselves as definite threats for intermediate honors this season.

Millionaires ball team of the City Baseball League finally snap- ped the victory jinx that has been hanging over them ever since the start of the season when they took the Rovers into camp in Thurs- day evening's game and in winning the team looked as if at last they have hit the peak of their form. From here in the Millionaires should be s distinct threat.

Acquisition of Sam McDonald in a catching role has strengthened the defencu of the McKinnon- coached team immeasurably. The big receiver who will be in the City for quite a. while on business is returning to the game after four years‘ absence but Thursday "tight he showed all the earmarks of be- ing a good receiver; he handled his pitcher well, can throw accur- ately to the bases and while his stickwcrk failed to show anything out of the ordinary this also should improve once he gets two or tnree games under his belt.

The team itself were pepped up considerably by the victory. Defeat after defeat wasn't doing the mo:- ale of the players any good but now that they have proved to them- selves they are capable of winning they are going to be that much tougher from now on. The victory was also s good thing for the lea- gue, throwing it into a wide open affair between all three squads and strictly a battle between Rov- ers and Anchors as it. was before the Millionaires took a new lease on their baseball life by Thursday's win.

Il- Il- d- O

With the league now expected to develop into a three way struggle attendances should in- crease correspondingly. The brand of ball continues to improve and if the games can be gotten underway on schedule there is no reason to believe that the league won't draw larger attendances than was the case last year. The old "bugaboo" of former years, games getting away late has been creeping into the picture again this season and hasn't done attendances any good.

This is one_thl.ng that can be avoided entirely. All that is need- ed is for the teams and their man- agers to make certain everything ls in readiness to get underway sharp on time and not have minor matters such as shortage of equip- ment, to quote one instance of holding matters up. If there is eny- thLng that leads to dissatisfaction on the fans part it ls having to wait around for a game _to begin. It is s certain way of killing in- terest and the sooner the games get away sharp on schedule the better it will be for all 00110241100.

Ganadian Team Loses Two Matches

(By Bert Allen) MONTREAL, July 9—(CP)__ —A powerful Mexican doubles combine

ioday set back Canada's Davis Cup‘,

hopes by bNQZI-Tlfl to victory ill three straight sets, 6-2, 6-3. 6-4.

Canada, which split the opening singles nmicbes, now must win both of the two singles‘ events to- morrow to take the North Ameri- can zone first round match.

Armando Vega and Gustavo Palafox were in control-all the way today, breaking the serves of brothers Brendan and Jimmy zvfac- ken at will and setting a hot pace with sparkling placements and smashes.

Vega and Pelafox formed e sur- prise team es Francisco Geirero was expected to play with the youthful Palefox.

Vega amazed the gallery of 2.- 000 with his blazing serves end accurate placements. The Mexican powerhouse ripped off no less than five love games on his own service. The ones the Canadians did man- age to return were easy marks for resounding smashes by Vega and Palafox. -

On the other hand, Jimmy Mac- ken looked particularly week, both on offence and defence. He won only two of his own services in the three sets end erred frequently on seemingly easy returns.

Brendan played a little better and was mainly responsible for the 10 games the Canadians did,win.

Henri Rcchon, slim French Can- adian who started Canada off yes- terday by beating Guerrero in straight sets, will hook up with Vega in the opening match tomor- row. If Vega wins, as he's favored to do, It will be all over.
