The see saw struggle continued when Charlottetown once again pulled up even in the sixth mak- ing the score 3 to 3. L.und hit one of the longest home runs seen in the local bail park. the sphere going far beyond the tracks in left centrefield, The center‘ " moined deadlocked until the last half of the tenth when Gaudet and Oatway combined to salt the game away,

Les Gautier led the hitters with three for five. His work at the hot corner stood out also. He accepted seven chances, some of them dif- ficult, without a bobble, For that matter the whole C. and B. team played erroriess ball. Powell start- ed for Summerside but was re- lieved by Joe Bernard in the fourth inning after two successive hits, a triple and a single were chalked against him. Bernard kept the four hits registered against him well scattered, no more th n one bingle being hit off his slan s in any one inning.

. With most of the races display- ing tightly-packed fields all around the mile circuit that at times made it hard to pick ou-t the trotter or pacer that was actually leading, the crowd forgot about the chili and dampness that prevailed m the excitement of the race, when some favourite or another would make his bid for the leadership 1n a dashing drive along the back stretch or around the final tum heading for the wire.

o - 2 o Anti there were plenty of these yesterday. when very often the ul- timate winner was well back in the field in the first round, only to ‘co-me storming o the fore in a driving finish lo nose out. almost certain winners. with the photo finish camera having to come through on a number of occasions with the final verdict when they couldn't be separated by the judges with the naked eye.

Although some fifty per cent of the favourites came through with the wins expected of the. . there were equally as many outsiders came up with unexpected upsets to displace the more favored ones by last second drives to the wire, while single heat upsets were also a big feature of the meet. Among the single heal: upsets was Billy Qonn in the first heat of the No. 2 Classified. when he ramped in over a. strong field such as Ohio Hal. Shy Ann 2nd, Tennessee Sue and Leis. Bucllong. while the unexpect- ed upset in the No. 3 Classified was Tiny Budlong's first heat vic- tory over s fast flcld. In the N0. 1 classified, Filbert upset the ap- pleoart in the third iica-‘J when he came in a. winner after chalking up thirds in the two preceding heats. ‘

While still on the subject of harness racing. this column notes, that in an article entitled "Youth Sets The Trotting Pace" in a re- cent issue of Parade, there ls con- siderable mention and tribute paid to Joe O'Brien. who up until the past couple of years was among the outstanding drivers in the Is- land and other mainland circuits, and s familiar figure to all local racing fans.

Although the article deals maln- iy with the younger crop of driv- ers who are pushing out. grand- daddies at trotting tracks and the high rate of crack-ups due to the more rugged style of driving in vogue today. he 1s referred to as the “Young Joe O'Brien who handles a. sulky as though it. had wings and a Jet engine" and cites a particular crack-up he had while driving "Harvey King" with Leon Caton driving “Gay Knight", over New York's Roosevelt Raceway.

In referring to the younger crop of drivers the article states: “To- day's racing is really better. May- be the kids don't drive like the old masters, and maybe they don't. know all there is to know about a horse. But they do think fast. and drive hard. That doesn't mean . their racing is dirty, either. It's just tough and it's sure good to watch."

Commenting on Joe's style of driving the article states: "O'Brien‘s harness racing strategy. for example, is simplicity itself: get in front and stay there". The art- icle also quotes Joe Is being sixth on the list of money winners last year with e total take of $80,360.

U O O

So it looks like the Joe O'Brien of Alberton. PET, who thrilled local fans with his outstanding driving here for a number of years and who at times was bet on to win more often than the horse he drove, is really making a nsme for himself in the "upper rscing brackets" by thrilling them there as he thrilled them here.

Close Racing Features Fine Racing Card At Montague Yesterday

Close, driving finishes. with the

issue always in doubt right up to the wire, featured the harness "d!!! meeting staged at Mont- ague yesterday afternoon when upwards of i000 fans, again saw racing on the Island circuit pro- duce the same topnotch, keenly contested duels of speed that have been in vogue all season long. Despite the cool weather inter- i-Pefled 0n l I! ,‘ of occasions with light showers of rain, mAor of the fans was never dampened and they stayed right through to the end of the fourteen heats on the program to witness upset fin- ishes in the hard-waged battles that were being fought over the fast piece of racing dirt.

Prince Budlong, Ohio Hal, Col- een Aciiam and Mary's Delight, together with Mary Merk and Lil Frisco in the two added dash events. were the winners. but in the four thr ‘* i classes only one horse could chalk up a straight heat victory. Mary's De- light, improving with every start. heading a field of eight starters in all three miles of the Number Four Classified event. The other three all had tough battles before coming through at the top of the summary.

Stirring C r

The No. 1 Classified produced the most stirring competition of the day as Prince Budlong. rein- ed by owner Harold Cudmore led the field in the first two heats be- fore yielding to Filbert in the third and final mile.

Prince went away on top in the first heat and led the field right sround to the backstretch the sec- ond trlp before yielding to Fil- bert; as they hit the upper turn leading to the stretch Prince came on again to take over and outpace a closely bunched field to the wire. with Eleanor G. moving fast in the stretch to beat out Filbert for second. Ola Budlong and Josedale Hoosier were fourth and fifth.

it was Ola Budlong, pacing a terrific mile who provided the competition for Prince in the middle heat. As in the first heat. they were all pretty well bunch- ed at the top of the stretch but again Prince Budiong, trailing halfway down, had just enough brush left to shade Ola by inches in a photo finish.

Filbert came into her own in the final mile. Ola Budlong went ofi’ on top to lead the pack over half the distance; as they neared the home stretch the second trip Filbert made her move to pace to the front and remain there in another great, three-horse finish that saw Prince and Eleanor G. finish practically neck and neck with the former landing the run- ner-up spot.

Beaten in the stretch the first trip by Billy Conn. Ohio Hal. pre-race favorite had a bit too much pace in the next. two miles as he raced to victory in the number two event.

The first mile, with the drives all starting on the back stretch the second trip that saw the field bunch up closely at the top of the stretch, produced another great finish as the Conn horse shaded the favorite in a terrific duel right to the wire. with Tennessee Sue Ind Sh)’ Ann 2nd going to breaks in the last quarter that ruined their chances.

Tennessee Sue. making her sec- ond start of the season took over the lead early in the second mile to lead all the way around to the back sfretch the second trip but Ohio Hal. wide open, took over at

wire in front of the fast closing Billy Conn who came very fast to gain the second slot over Ten- nessee Sue.

Lela Budiong took her turn at going to front in the final heat and for ,over half the distance looked as if she might force the race into sn extrs heat, but she was collared on the backstretch the second trip by 0hio,i~lsl and Billy Conn. with the former win- ning handily in the drive to th'e ‘wire; Billy second, Lela third;

the other two entries were fourth and fifth.

Adds To Upsets

_ Tiny Budlong, handled magnif- If-‘Hllly by Teddy Weir, added to the upsets ss he paced oil with the first mile of the third event. Going to front st the first turn Tiny made every post s winning one. cllmaxing his victory by stav- inl of! the challenges of s close- L ‘ ‘ fieldthst saw Colleen Adam close fut to place second.

There was no denying Colleen Adsrn in the next two miles u the Halifax-owned more hsd a bit too much pace for the field of seven, outbrushing them in the stretch on both occasions to win by s length. with the battles for the other positions being very,

veg close.

17's Delight was lust too good l" chlllllll up her straight host win in the fourth event on the card. In 41:0 first two miles she cams racing from behind to round the field snd win handily, while in the third and finsi mils, she took to the front st the first turn to my there sil ths wsy. Det-
