Y. will continue to race until well on in November. the date for the open- ing race meet at Dufferin track hiss! been postponed to November

In conversation with Mr. God- frey we learn that they had three photo-finishes for dead heats last week. On Friday night at Sydney, Shining Hour (W. Lewis) and En- Hsign Joe (McQueen) dead-heated iii Race No. 2 in 2.12 325 - a re- duction of two seconds from the three-year-old Shining I-four's previous record. At Truro on Sat- urday night, Merle Direct and Alice T. Clegg dead-heated for show. and at Charlottetown Sat- urday night Lucky Number (W. Kelly) and Jennie Kalmuck (I...

The past three years Mr. Miller has been concentrating mostly on har- ness racing and although he has not had such brilliant success as in 1949 yet he is well up in the list of winning drivers.

In Yonkers Trot News. publish- ed at Yonkers Raceway. New York. there is an item headed "One-legged Driver Reins Horse to Three Wins in Twelve Days" . . . . The outstanding horse and driver of the summer meet at this track were Caress, a five-year-old trot- ting mare. and her owner-driver Ed Jones. Here's why . .. In 12 days she started four times, won three times and finished third once. Two of the victories came in three days. In each one she re- duced her best time going from 213 to 2.11 V5 to 2.09 (US and 2.09 on closing night. She figured in three winning daily doubles. twice when she started from post posi- tion fl. These four wins boosted her 1951 earnings to 32,475." Jones. a driver of many years, lost his left leg as a boy in a hunting ac- cident. In November. 1927, the writer bought a trotter calle-1 Fred Medium while attending the Royal Winter Fair fox show. and turned him over to Ed Jones to race over the ice.

Roosevelt Raceway and Foxhoro. I accompanied Henry Cyr. former owner of COIl';l'CS Lad. who was anxious to see him race. We were 1 day and a half drivntg to Sara- toga. in Henry's car and were very pleasantly entertained by Dr. L.A. Parmenter and wife. new owners of Congress Lad. and saw him win his stake engarzcment in 2.06 2.6. He was such a heavy favorite that the race was put on before the regular card. without betting. At that time he had won 12 dashes. two seconds and one third in 15 starts and the Doctor told us he had refused 515.000 for him. This was on September 15th.

"On the 16th we drove from Sar- atoga to Roosevelt Raceway about 22.3 miles. There we saw many we knew including Earle Av- ery. Bob Ryan, Earle Semple and Heber Sweeney. There are about a dozen different horses in the Avery string and Earle has been the leading driver at two tracks this season. Bob Ryan is having a good year with Colonel Dan. hav- lng won five firsts. nine seconds and only out of the money three times in 23 starts. He aLso has ll

"1-ledgewood Chief started the night we were there and was third in a s2.000 pace. Joe O'Brien drove him, and the time was 2.08. Mary Merl: has been first and second and is racing consistently. Earle Semple had just bought a beauti- ful two-year-old stud colt by Bill Gallon. that had shown a mile in 2.11 on the trot. He has a full brother in 2.05 or therezihouts. I liked him a lot. It was a half day's drive to Foxboro and we saw Old Orchard win there in 2.14. Clan. clegg was second in 2.15 2x5. The John A.

"The night races at Woodstock. X3. continue to draw good crowds. Racing will end there on October 9th. Dick Erla was a standout in the fast classes until he went lame and at present Rusty Hanover appears to lay over his fields in the Free For Alla. The .1. Henry Dewitt horses were in a truck wreck on the way to St. ste- phen Fair and Ola Budlong and Brighton were quite seriously in- jured. Brighton raced last Friday night but could not do himself justice.

A horseman friend. F. Kennedy of Truro. NS.. has very kindly mailed its two programs of the 1951 Grand Circuit races. Dela- i-.-are County Fair. Delaware. Ohio. Tile most interesting summary in it was the Little Brown Jug. purse 560,280.55. The race was witness- ed by over 113.000 people. Their gi-and stand accommodation con- sists of bleachers, one very large lwlcachcr and several smaller -ones. In addition people crowd the infield and like Old Home Week of a few ychrs ago. hundreds are standing on the upper part of the track. It is the largest crowd that has at- tended a race meeting in the Un- itcd States since the days of Dan Patch 1.55, who broke all rec- ords at the Minnesota State Fair when the attendance was stated to be over 68,000. The three-year- old pacer Tar Heel. as our readers are aware, won both heats, the first in 2.00 2 5 and the second in 2.00 a new world's record for three-year-old pacers on a half- mile track. The former world's rec- ord over a half-mile track was 201 1'5, made by the Canadian bred pacer Winnipeg in 1929. An- other world's record was made by the four-year-old pacer Sampson Hanover. that won his first heat in 1.50 35 and again when he won the second heat in 159 2(5.

The Gainesway Farm catalogue of ycarlings. foals of 1950, that are to be sold at Tattersalls auction. Lexington. Kentucky. on Thursday night October 4th., has arrived and as usual it is a masterpiece of the lit!-iographers' and printers' art. Two of the colts specially featured in it are Fearless Way by King's Counsel 1.58. dam. Jam Azoff 1.59- 1;. and Norway by King's Coun- scl 1.58. dam. Alcyone 2.0813. The write-up of Jane Azoff reads in part .. .. ”.l:me Azoff 159". is considered one of the best pacing race mares of all time. She was successfully campaigned until eleven years of age, therefore has had little opportunity to show her real worth as a producer. After her racing career in the U s.A. was ended she was exported to Canada where her first record performer. Lucky Number by Kal- muck. secured a half-mile track record of 211 1'5 last year. Her next neriormor was Winsome Way bv Cardinal Prince. that took a record as a three-year-old over a half-mile track in 2.11 US. Fol- lowing that there was Wayzoff 4. 2.03 1x5 by Royal Napoleon. that lmr. made a host of friends through his game performances at Yonk- crs and Roosevelt Raceways. Echo Way 2.09 M5 by King's counsel. is a new race winnlnii performer for Jane this year. In Fearless Way We feel we are conslrznlng one of Jane Azoff's best foal."

"Regarding Alcyone is the fol- lowing .. . "Alcyone 2.0814 is of- ten called the liandsomest daugh- tcr of Abbacy 4. 2.04'l. the fast- est foiir-year-old of her year and dam of eight in 2.10. Alcyone was exported to Canada early in her career where she was raced over all kinds of tracks and was the winner of 15 heat races. The late Dr. H. M. Parshall considered her one of the best bred and best look- ing pacing mares that he knew of and it was on his recommendation that we purchased her. she com- bines the blood of two great fam- ilies that have given such great performers as Guy McKinney 1.53 55. Scotland 1.5014 Imd five others with records better than 2.00. Nor- way. her colt. is a remarkable In- dividual, one that will attain al- most full maturity in his two- year-old form.

Not too much is' known about the strength of the visiting Shearwater Navy squad but they should give the local boys plenty of trouble as well as provide them with useful exper- ience for the opposition they will meet later on in their quest for Maritime. honors. English rugby is undergoing a revival in Nova Scotla and several top notch teams from that Province will be in the running for the McCurd.v Cup along with the College teams from the three Maritime Provin- ces.

Halifax Saint Mary's have put quite a price tag on the head of their 1950 number one forward, Hughie Campbell. Ottawa Sena- tors were willing to give up six players for him but whatever their quality the Saints turned the offer down. Sydney are ne- gotiating for Campbell but in re- turn Halifax wants big Dunc Maclntyre and dcfenseman Ron- nie Matthews, which would be quite a profitable deal for Hali- fax. Sydney would like to have Campbell and Maclntyre. both 200 pounders. on one line. It is doubtful. however, if Halifax would allow such a formidable line to be formed although the Saints are fairly anxious to ob- tain the services of Ronnie Mat-

the ws.

The improvement that Terry Reardcn saw in Hub Bcaudry's play at. the Providence Reds

camp this year should not come as any surprise to local hockey fans. In every game that Hub Beaudry played last season he played it for all it was worth. As a penalty killer he had no peer on -the team or probably on any other team in the Maritimes. A moderately fast skater and good stiok handler, he engineered quite a number of scoring plays. His 23 goals and 31 assists for a total of 54 points was the seventh highest on the islanders last year. Only 21 years old Hub should improve quite a bit in the next few years and go a long way in hockey and to coin a phrase "it. couldn't happen to a nicer guy." . . .

Johnny Horeck, former Island- ers forward and now coach of the Moncton Hawks, promises that he will ice a team the equal of any other club in the Mari- time league. I-loreck says that he contacted 25 players on ii recent scouting trip through Quebec and Ontario. He refused to divulge any names. saying the players were still in training camps and had not been signed. A brother. George Horeok. accompanied Johnny to Moncton.

Two More Players En Route Here

Two more hockey players. Morris Lalloo and Gordie Simpson are on their way to Charlottetown to at- tend the Islanders training camp. it. was learned from coach Leo Lomoureux last night. Both men are defensemen but Simpson can alternate between right wing and the blueline.

Lalloo, a five foot, eleven inch. 200 pounder is expected to arrive in the City today. Simpson is ex- peeted on Monday or Tuesday.

Lalloo, a reportedly rugged body checker, is a rc-instated profes- sional and played part of last sea- son in the Pacific Coast League. He finished the year with a Northern Ontario Hockey Associa- tion Club.

Simpson is a 22-year-old hockey player. He played a few games with the North Sydney Victorias towards the end of last season.

Several local hockey players have been invited to attend train- lng camp and battle out for pos- itions with the team. ”Spy" Ready. defcnseman with the team last year and "Bubby" Dowllng. part time forward were asked to al- tend by coach Lamonreux at the conclusion of the hockey season last spring.

Goalies Frank Strain. who 0153'- ed several games with the squad last year. and Frank Roper. who played with the East Royalty Royals are also invited. stated Leo Lorne Hcnncsscy. Halifax Saint Mary's junior star. a year ago and Allle'Carvcr. a promising Char- lottetown player. are the two for- wards whom Lco would like to see attend the -camp.

It will not be with bated breath and a 'colcl brick' feeling in the pit of the stomach as many of them exper- ienced overseas during two World Wars as they waited to go "over the top" to enact what zero hour really means. On the contrary it will be with a quickening of the pulse as the first streak of dawn appears in the east and the whis- per of wings in the darkness oer'- head signals that early ducks are awake and on the move.
