Living up to all advance notices the harness racing, golf and base-

ball events some of the most petition of the season. Favorites came through in the ball and golf matches as expected but in the harness racing meeting at Parkview Raceway it was a con- tinuation of a season-long story. o o -

yesterday produced stirring com-

Heavily backed horses in all classes again went down before the flying feet of the lesser lights and as a result a crowd of 2000 fans witnessed another afternoon of exciting, suspense filled action that added another bright page to this season's racing story.

~ o o

The racing left nothing to be desired and neither did the racing plant. Vastly improved last sea- son when it was re-opened after many years of inactivity, the track yesterday was on a par with any in the Province. In fact the facil- ities all over the plant were ad- equate to say the least and many expressions of approval were heard from tho large crowd in attendance.

I O

Officials of the Raceway have done a splendid job in renovating the plant and the results they have achieved are beyond the fondest hopes. Minor improve- merits have still to be made but judging by the favorable com- ment heard yesterday Parkvlew Raceway has now won its spurs and future meetings can be ls- surcd of the fullest measure of

Ev Mcllelll‘: Abegweits base- ball club looked good in losing to the strong Moncton Legionaires in an exhibition game played last night and by their performance proved to a rilcety that the brand of baseball played in our own Island League is deserving of far more credit than has been gener- ally accorded it. O O O True, the Moncton squad had an edge ln the various depart- ments, which was to be expected, but they didn't have it their own way by any manner of means. They had to be on their toes all the way in order to fashion their victory and the struggle the loc- als waged boosted their stock con- siderably lmong the large number of fans present. O I

The game was productive of smart: asseball all the way. Both ‘vely and offensively tho

two squads shone: there were but two errors chalked up, one against each squad. while sparkling field- ing plays drew down well-merited applause especially when they cut of! dangerous-looking ralllel. O O O

Too much stress cannot be placed on the benefits received by local squads when pitted against teams of the calibre of the Monc- tonlans. Players are bound to profit in every department and it also serves to keep them on their toes all the way, something that would be definitely lacking were they performing against mediocre opponents.

Out at historic Belvedere golf links the pick of Maritime lady golfers started out on the trail of the Maritime golfing crown and before the firing is over on Fri- day some very fine golf will be witnessed. Yesterday's o p c n l n g rounds saw the favourites come through as expected but in some cases they had stiff battles on their hands before eliminating the threats.

O O O

Today the finals that will b0 played on Friday will be reached and the semi-final matches today are very opt to be close-knit, tense affairs. Lone Charlottetown player still left in the running is Mrs. WJI. Cotton, I940 club cham- pion who got by two rounds yel- terday with s superlative display and should she continue that some form today her chances no bright for ienchlng the last lap of the rlco.

O O

Other local club players, whllc being shunted from the champion- ship division, nevertheless offered stlfI compcfiiun and should be heard from when it comes to do- cldtng the winner: of the various flights in tho ‘tournament.

I O

Summenl‘ and Charlottetown baseball rivalry, among the stars of yesteryear may be renewed hero next Sunday if negotiation no successfully completed for Charlottetown Old Timers and Summerlldc 01d Timers to moot 1n n game here next Sunday aft- ernoon.

O O O

It ls no secret that fans ln both centres would welcome the oppor- tunity of seeing their former fav- orites in action once more. That

the game would be hotly con- tested you without laying and it

‘is more than lfiely that all the

old-time rivalry would spring up
