Our New York City friend Dick Hagan. vcry kindly remem- ers us from time to time with harness horse- notes that catches his eye in the metropolitan pu- pers. One sent rccontly gives prominence to ihr- largo stakes that will be raced nt, Roosevelt

and Westbury tracks. bdth near New York. 1n their 12s might program. An innovation this

year will be s $25,000 two-mile trot and a similar amount for a two-mile pace: also a $35,000 Na- tional Pacing Derby and a $25,- 000 American ‘fretting Champion- . These large stokes will attract the fastest trotters and pacera tn America and of course natursllyfihey will attract tre- mendous attendances of spectat- ors. Pencilled at the bottom of the clipping is . "It ls said that. some horses from Prince County will race here." We know that there has been a rumour afloat Aha! Joe O'Brien might move himself and colors to Roosevelt or Westbury but there it no confirmation of 1t. Or maybe it's Chrlsty Budlong. 210612. Dick has reference to.

Our good friend Dr. Dave Mac- Kenzie. noted surgeon of Mont- reah who spends his summers at Eldon. writes from Baseline Road, California. "Lovcly , sun- mine. one rainy Sundny l-n two weeks. Warm during the day, cool at hlght. No harness races at Santa Anita at present. but they are racing st: Hollywood Park near Los Angeles. Come." .. .. We wish we could continue our hike from Chicago and be with Dave for a couplc of months. It would certainly be a most pleasurable experience.

We ‘noticed in the cqaratan some weeks ago the summary of a Class A Pace raced on the under tho aus- pices of the Eastern Driving Club. King Spruce (MacDonald) won the event with a summary of 3-1-1; Czarlna V. (Lutz) 2-2-2: Bud Cope (Kcefc) l-dr.

Glanclng back to that. Exhibi- tlon Race meet of 1936 it strikes us as about one of the best of n11 time. Marjorie M. won the 2:12 Trot and Pace in three straight. best. time Q1016; Nita Volo the Two-Year-Old Trot and Pace in 22231.1. She was owned by Harry O'Brien and that con- stituted a new two-year-oid rec- ord. August Queen won the first division of the 2:24 Pace. best time 2:104 by Leta Kalmuck. winner of the first heat. Billy Bondeer won the 2:21 Ppce in three straigihi. best. time 2:09. He wzfs owned by Cecil M. Alex- ander. St. JCllll. Harvest Melody won the 3:18 Trot, best time 2:10‘.1, which equalled the track trotting record; Aliset won the 2:25 Maritime Bred Trot. best time 2:15. The 2:24 Pace second division was won as mentioned abovepby Josie the Great with Bud Cope taking the first heat: the 2:15 Trot and Pace was won by Plu-cky Scott 2:06. owned by Dr. R. F. Seaman.

She was owned by Mrs. Margaret Ballard. North Sydney. and was driven bv Billy Hood. Sully is very much to the front at: this date, almost every summary of Halifax ice races finds him either a winner or near the top. ‘

Among the recent sales of har- ness horses we note where Ox- ford Lady 235% has been sold by Wilson Collins, North Sydney. to a Saint John. N. B. party and Stan Cleary has also sold Ms lour-yoar-old colt ‘Howie Budlong to a St. John man. This has i been a lively winter for the horse- men in and around North Syd- ney where a number of them measured off a quarter of a mils rncc course o Cranberry Lake. lust a short stance from the (‘rnirc of the town and held a number of meets which were greatly cnjoycd by horsemen and spectators.

Still very much 1n the running

for Island juvenile honors desp e their 2-1 setback at Summers: the other night in the opening game Bill Boylcs‘ team tangle with Summersidc again tonight at ihc Forum in the deciding encounter of what should turn out to be .\ red-hot game all the way through. O I l O

Reports from Summersitlc tmcnt the first game say it was a crowd pleaser all the wiiy. There is very little to choose between the two squads and whether or not the big ice surface of the Forum will make any difference to the Vhi- tors remainssu. be‘ seen.

Although Summcrside have but s, one goal margin to work on if could be that it will loom larger and larger as the game progresses. Those youngsters give all they have every minute the)’ are 0n U19 ice and irrespective of tho outcome fans will witness a titanic struggle. O I I

And another thing. Minor league games have been poorly attended all seasdn long. The reason for this is a hard one to fathom as it is certain that they are deserving of far better support. Tonight with the Island title at stake 1t would be gratifying indeed to s! B r!!- cord turnout and by so doing fans would not only be encouraging the youngsters but would help out on the expenses for the forthcoming jaunt into Marltlm: play°ff$~

The Midget title will also he at shake tonight and this time Surn- merside carries a substanti-‘l! seven goal lead into their battle against the G. and G. Dairy Kings. ft is quite a load to overcomc _htit the Dairy Kings will play it wide; open all the \vn_v ‘m an effort to overcome the big handicap thny are now facing.‘

t

Prince of Wales basketball team. now recognized as a distinct threat for City League honors due to their recent. smart performan- ces tangle with the Saints in to- night's game n1 the Pri-nce of Wales Auditorium and hoop fans are looking forward i0 one of the keenest struggles of the season as Saints attempt to break their first place deadlock with the Tara

boys.

econ

From here 1t appears as if the Saints are going to have the tougbmt kind of a battle on their hands. In their list outing Prince of Wales were just beaten in the final seconds hy the top-flight Navy squad and if the Goss-coach- ed team can come through with another like performance tonight there will he plenty trouble lying ahead oi’ the Uunrverslty crew. The game gets underwuy at 7.30.

t a e

Hockey interest is likely at fever pitch in Moncton today as Hawks and Truro Bearcats prepare for their deciding struggle tonight at the Stadium to decide the winners of the Big Four Hockey League and there seems no doubt about i-t but that the capacity c-f the Mone- ton Stadium will bc taxed to the limit. to hold the hockey-mad pop- ulace that v/‘lll be. on hand.

-

Favored to take the series Hawks had to come from behind to force a fifth game but whether or not they can make it two stnalght over the Bearcats is still a bill puzzle to funs who have been following thc fortunes of the two teams all season long. Hawks will likely be without the services of Buck Whltlock injured in Truro Thurs- day night and the smooth CCIHFQ“. nun’: absence will be keenly felt. lut at that the Moncton squad may still have enough power left to offset the loss of Whltlock!

services.

Navy and Saints are back right from where they started as a, te- sult of the 6-6 stalemate the play- ed 1n the opening semi-fins game Thursday night and 1t will take at least two more games before the team to meet the Legion i5 de-

cidcd.

Thursday's game whi-le not pro- ducing the some exciting action as witnessed in the league game nevertheless provided the fans with plenty of interest all through the piece. Saints, minus five of their players Including Cart McDonald were far below strength hut at that Navy showed plenty of Jioc- key ability and although they did lose the lead p, couple of times. had enough drive left to munch home the tying goal when lt really

mattered. e _ o o

The tie proved costly Tart however when Hollis Joy hard-working and effective for- ward of the second line suffered a broken collar bone. Jay's injury will Fiace him» on the hockey shelf for the remainder of the rou- son and will force Coach Walter [Awlor to probably juggle his lines for the next two encounters. the first of which ll tentatively
