A few days ago we received from v . O. Crammer, Pinehurst. N. 0,, a "Guy the Tramp" calendar for 1990. with two photographs or me world's champion double-gaited horse over a half-mile track, one shows him in his pacing regalia, 5,5 heiooked when he paced in 2.0a 1-4 an the other with trotting para- pnernalla as he looked when he took his trotting record this season of 2.05 8-4.

The following is Mr. Crummers tribute to hiriN. "And when this noble horse is dead." -

I shall not lay him out in state, Will lay no laurel on his head. And may no man of speech crate. No monument my gift shall be,

No column in the Hall oi Fame; But just thls line I'll grave for him: m: PLAYED (ma. GAME.

Evidently Mr. Crummer has not forgotten his visit to us August, 1934, and none oi us will ever for- get the great liree-for-All in which Guy the Tramp ‘orced Toll Gate to a new track record oi 2.05 3-4.

Six foals of Margaret Arion (3) 2.10 1-2 so‘d at the Old Glory sale from 1929 to 1935 as yearllngs and brought a. total oi $22,900. Protec- tor and The Marchlcness. each of which took world's records oi 1.59 1-4 as three-year-olds, sold for 81.000. and $1,300. respectively. ‘The last two foals have sold for an av- lfage oi $7,150.

Anent the above, we may say that there is ample justification for the prices which horszmen have paid for the produce of Margaret Arion, as her first two foals m’! world's champions, her first three ioals won the Senior Division oi the-Kentucky Futurity and their earnings reachcd a high total oi more than $102,000. '

‘Fhree different paccrs have won thirty races in the course oi two campaigns. They are John M. 2.02 3-4, thirty iii-sis in thirty-two starts, Bertha Patch 2.07 (Cana- dian raced) thirty in thirty-foil! szarts and Castiewood 2.09 1-4 thirty in thirty-seven starts. n

One of the mast gratifying things we have discerned in connection with the Fuiurltles is the improved appearance oi the young candl- datss. Horsemen all over the pro- vince are learning to take better care oi their brood mares, particu- larly during the winter months. ‘They, oi course, require more food water and protmtion from snow, sleet and icy winds than do mares not in foal. More forward breeders know this but it should be know- ledge common to all.

Again we note that breeders arc paying more attention to the care of the young growing colts and fillies, giving them more and bet- ter food and thereby increasins their growth. 5119118511 and "lull"?- It is common now to see two and. three year olds in this province al- most as well developed as those oi- fered at the New York sales.

Nicklin Has

LONDON, Jan. 3.—Percy Nicklin who learned about hockey at Port Arthur, Ont., and made his reputa- tion with the Moncton Hawks. Canadian senior champions in 1933 and i934, is preparing a British team for the Olympic Games and Nlcklin is the last person in all England to expect success. For one thing his team must face Port Arthur. ' -

Coach of Richmond Hawks in the English National League, Nic- klin has been selected to tutor the- British Olympic team and ever since he became active Olympic hopes have been rapidly dimmed. Nick- lln‘s charges can't seem to get going.

It will be Port Arthur Bear Cats. a. hustling brigade from his home town. who vycnr Canadian colors next month at the Garmisch-Par- tcnklrchen games in Germany. Nicklin hasn't said he isn't confid- ent ‘of ‘giving the Canadians a battle, but he scarcely needs to say anything.

England's team was beaten in a test series by various teams of selec- ted Canadians playing this season here. One oi the scores was 9-4. Wembley Lions trounced the Olym. pic forces 9-3. If it hadn't been for the fine goaltenriing of Jimmy Foster. former Winnipeg and Mono. ton star. the scores would have been much higher.

Foster For Goal

Foster. it is believed, will play qoal on the British team. although he has not yet been definite‘y selec- ted. He was born in this country and therefore is eligible. Jock Rid- den Keilslmlton Corinthians goalie, is another possibility and the two "l-‘lmi-‘n may he taken to Germany.

Toronto Leafs At Home To Maroons Tonight

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

Highlight of tonight's two-game National Hockey League pro- gramme will take place at Toronto where Maroons take on the Maple Leafs in a return engagement to their wild, free-for-all at Montreal Thursday when Maroons emerged victors by a 5-3 score in a game that saw Toronto draw 48 minutes in penalties and Maroons 38.

Some of the fistlc battles ended with the combatants unsatisfied and promising renewed action at Toronto but Maroons have to travel to Chicago for a Sunday night game with Black Hawks and may decide to save themselves in un effort to overcome Toronto's four-point lead at the top of the league's Canadian section.

Fresh from their 2-0 win at Boston Canadians meet Bruins at Montreal tonight determined to keep up a winning streak and over- take the hustling New York Am- ericans for the section's third-place play nff berth. They have a chance to win four points this week-end as they go to Detroit Sunday for a game with Red Wings.

Rangers and Americans meet at New York in another Sunday night fixture with Rangers determined to wipe out the sting oi the 6-8 loss io_ their intro-city rivals Thursday night.

Pucks Costly To Hockey Management

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

DETROIT, Jan. L-Fahs of this city are perhaps, tho most avari- cious of any in the major hockey circuit, if the loss oi pucks can be taken as a criterion. .

When Lou Giffels, manager of the Detroit Olympia ice palace, started to figure up today ,the number of pucks used in a season. the result was amazing.

Lou discovered that. a fair monthly average in the purchase of pucks was 13 dozen while in March of last year he discovered 19 dozen had been ordered. This means that over the six-months hockey season nearly 1.000 pucks were slipped over the boards and into the laps of the spectators, be- cause that is where they all dis- appear. Nobody ever heard of a puck being rendered useless through wear and tear.

The one item of pucks, figured at the wholesale price of $4.95 per riomn, sets back the Olympia management some $400 fur a single season-quite a difference from the days of shinny when a frozen ob- ject was battered around and ab-

’ out the ponds for days on ems.

Giffeis found the Michigan-On- tario League amateurs, who play a. double header to packed houses everv Monday night, are every bit as hard on pucks as their profes- sional brethern. the Red Wings and Olympics. While he could not confirm it offhand, the Olympia manager said he had been given to understand that 30 pucks were used during one amateur night. The pros average 15 pucks a game.
