Followers of track and field athletics will have their attention centred on Wolfville today where a team of nine High School ath- letes from the province vwill be

competing against the pick of other crack squads in the Mari- times, Although short on train- ins due to the inclemency of the weather, Coach George Walters was confident of the boys making a. good showing and it will not be a bit surprising if they coma back with a goodly share of first places in the events in which they com- pete.

The youngsters left by car yes- terday. They were accompanied by Walter DePage and Art Perry. Coach Walters being unable tol make the trip. The best wishes of: all Island sport followers will fol- low them in their quest for ath- letic laurels.

The Maritime pre-Olympic track and field trials arc scheduled fon the Wanderers Grounds. Halifax, Friday, June 11th and in keeping with the attempt to revive track and field athletics here the Abeg- welts will have a strong team in the fields. Only athletes with am- ateur cards can ccmpete and each club or association can gnu;-

three entries in each event. O O O Just who will comprise the"

Abbie team is not known as yet but it is likely that the nucleus of last year's squad who did so well in the Maritime championships will be on hand. With the exper- ience gained on that occasion the Abbio teem should be well up in the standing and although the meet is not a championship one, awards will be bronze medals suitably engraved. These go to event winners only. O O O

Main ides of the meet is to see whether or not there are any Olympic prospects good enough to be sent to the Eastern Canada, trials at Montreal. Despltg the fact that an athlete may win an, event it is still up to thaws"... tion of the Track and Field Cum. mittee of the M.A.A.U. whether 01' m?» ho be selected. There are certain standards set dawn and,- these must be equalled before an athlete is considered good enough.

O O O

Entries can be addressed to Mr. Gerry Drew. Secretary of the Wanderers Club. R0. Box 1132, Halifax, NS. They must be in the hands of the Wanderers 0111b not later than midnight, June g. andj there will definitely be NO POST ENTRIES

O O 0 ' With the National and Ameri- can baseball leagues now in full swirl! and attention as usual be- ing focused on the Yankees. a New York writer recalls a proph- ecy made by the late Miller Hug- gins in 1920 just when the cry oil “Break up the Yanks" was being heard all around the circuit. O O O

Jake Ruppert. then head of the Mklnlfltl . was incensed by the cry, but not so Huggins. Huggins at the time recalled that great empires had fallen when time caught up with them and opined it would be the same way with the -Ysnkeea, despite all the valuable ball ivory that-could be bought.

O O O

How true the prophecy came was revealed in 10%. That spring the Yankees started as though they were going to spread-eagle

but expect to do so soon. There must be a lot of good ones 1n

the league again. But along about June they began to stagger .._..... and the Athletics began to come on. The Yanks rallied in July but stumbled again and, as 1 remem- ber it, the A's went into first place some time during that month. In August, Huggins tried to rally the players with a blister- ing talk in the clubhouse after a losing game, but when he had finished they looked at him as though they hadn't heard a word he had said. He went directly from the clubhouse to the Stadium of- fice, where Ruppert ahd Barrow were waiting f.or.hi|;n.

The Yankees an through. Goi- onel. he said. 30011811 didn't want to believe him but Barrow knew he was tolling the truth. And 1o he was. of course. The Yankees couldn't get going again and tlie Athletics had the pennant sewn up by the middle o! Soptomblr. A’ few dlyl afior that.

The meeting was opened by a few remarks by Bill Reid, Direc- tor of Physical Fitness for the Province. The Director told the young ladies and- gentlemen just what the Department of Physical ‘Fitness could do to assist them and went on to compliment them on their initiative in getting to- gether. suggesting that they elect their officers and form an Associa- tion. Mr. Fenton Mayne then took the chair and the following slate of officers was elected:

President, James Allen

Vice President. Mrs. G. C. Green

Secretary. Marjorie Hughes

Treasurer, Aeneas MacEntee.

Finalize Plans For Annual Dog Show

Plans for the Charlottetown Kennel Club's sixth annual D08 Show were finalized at a special meeting of the Club held at the Rendezvous on Thursday _ night.

Whitiockb Pond. Dundee. was officially opened this season on Wednesday of this week. Members of a Club. recently formed by Mr. Whitlock,‘ were the lucky anglers. Under this system in order to be- come a member a stipulated fee is charged that entitles the angler to a season's fishing. This foe does not include the services of a boat. Beats may bo had for hire at the regular prioo of 51.00 per day for the use of some.

O O O O Ivory available boat was ‘in service on Wednesday and if any fears were held that the pond had been depleted of his finny deni- sons’ by the heavy run on its re- sources last year. They were prov- en to be groundless. All anglers who were out went away well sat- isfied. All had nice catches. The run war not heavy being mainly in the 1-2 and 8-4 pound class. A few topped the pound mark but none are thought to have gone over a. pound and a, half. Its encourag- ing to know that a good supply of up and coming trout are there. Un- less these is the younger genera- tion to replace the old timers it

or so till ‘the pond would be fished out. ~

Much "i" ‘ was v

at the meeting that was presided over by President Stewart Ives and "members are looking forward tc the best show in the history of the Olub.

It was also announced at the meeting that two pups would be lotteried off during the Show. One a wire haired terrier was donated by the Malabar Kennels of Point Fortune, Quebec. and it is inter- esting to note that this puppy is a son of the dog which was judged best in show here last year. The other puppy is a Boston terrier. Both dogs will be shown in one of the store windows each Saturday until the Show, which is schedul :1 to take place Monday, June 21st.

Judge of the Show will be Mr. William MoDerment of ‘Toronto, while Show Superintendent will bo Mir. Stewart Jones.

During the meeting the mom- hers were priviledged to listen to an instructive address by Nlr. G. G. Ryder of Halifax who chose as his topic the handling and care of dogs at Bench Shows. Mr. Ryder who was introduced by Major T. B. Rogers, told his listeners of the proper preparation of the dogs for the Show. the ring training which is very important. leading, pose, gait and the proper manner in which to take the dog into the ring. Actions of the handler while showing tbs dog was another 1m- portant matter the speaker said. In explaining the various points Mr. Ryder used a Julie Brittany spaniel for demo ‘r ting his points.
