Both are out oftProfess0r S. A. Rockfordls former good cam. palsner Alcstra 2.12!-'.-. now owned by Bert. Alestra is royally bred, being by Real Frisco 1.5092. dam. The Blond Lady by The Senator. lvfany horsemen will remember the Professor and the pride he tool! in showing Alestra to his friends. For the Ollportunities she had she was a wonderful race mare allu the writer has I vivid recollection of the win in which she took no: record in a large field of fast pac- gers. Salidy Budlong was given his training by Frank McAldiiff but was raced to ills record by Harry Mount at Foxboro. Ili aliother event he was second in 2.10 3-5.

A. E. "Bert" Harper. son of our i-?.ood friend Thomas Harper. who superintended so liiuch of the liuilding at the Exhibition grounds in the years gone by, is home on a brief visit. Bert has developed into a very husky. liandsome ,1Dlll'lg man,a six-footer iiiid splen- didly bllilt. He has made good as R caretaker and this year has driven in some races and will no doubt develop llito a first-class driver with more experience. His headquarters are at Woodstock izhere he now has in his stable the following horses owned by Bo!) Brown: Indiana Boy 2.0.3'v.-. Chris McElwyn 2.13 3-5, Honor's Hy Jinks by His Honor 1..'i9"., I four- year-old pacer that took a mark of 2.20 as I three-year-old and is ex- pected to develop into a good slow class horse. The filial member of Bob's stable is the six-yeal'-old pacer Skelter 2.07, of Peter the Great--Guy Axivortlly breeding. He is I perfectly sound chestnut geld- ing that raced particularly well in 1950, being first to the wile 15

'mes. Most of his races were over .iie half-iililc ovals ill Pennsylvan- ia and nearby states but this year he graduated to some of the top night racing plants and was a close second In Freddy Hank in 2.04 2-5.

Earle Avery. formerly of Wood- Itock. drove Freddy that nigLit and it was Earle who strongly recom- mended Skelter in Bob. '1Niere is no question that he was I bargain at the price-S1200-as numerous offers running up to 31.600 were made after the sale.

For Bob Hamilton. Bert has the trotter Victory Bell 2.15 2-5 by Bravo, Lucky Spencer 2.10'.i.v. re- cently purchased from Myron Mac- Arthur, Lucky was gelded this zeason and is expected to beat his 'ccord next year. Finally there is I yearling pacer. Bob's Dream. An- vtlier stable that Bert talked about iarticularly was that of W. M. Stiles, who has Lcaland's Pride 3. 2.20, .lock Martin, Mae Budlong 2.10 with a yearling colt by Abner

Polly Mite. Card Sllrlrk and N. D. Hal are also owned by Bob.

N. D. 11211 has ll lialf-mile record nl 2.05 and was a real top racing pacer in 1943-1949. winning 525,000 and was timed in 2.00 2-5. He did lllot race in 10.30 due to lameness in his hind legs. It was difficult in filid out what the trouble was so he was sent in a veterinary col- lege wlicre x-rays were taken and the trouble diagnosed as 11. blood

he is perfectly round. Isle is beautiful hay lior:-"c with the eas- iest pacing actinii iniazliiablc. it can of Hal Dali" 2.li'.!'. and a full brother to such stars as Purdue Hal 8. 2.013..

What ii stock horse he should be after his racing days are over.

Just. a brief u0l'(i iilurr. about his pedigree will remind our rend- ers that his grandsire on the dams ride, Peter Scott. was bought for ;.'i0.000 by Thomas Murphy from Walter Cox and Cox remarked at , ihe time that Murphy would be I

long, long time getting that am- iunt of money out of him. Well. tfurphy was no fool and the next 'eIr Peter Scott made I complete -weep of all the big stakes on the Grand Circuit and Peter Scott was Iold for I long price as I sire. His cons and grandsons have been dis- tinguished or their toughness, that is they will race year after year. By the way. Peter scotts dam, Jennie Bryson, was bred in Canada and in some ways her I breeding would not be called fash-

ionable, but her tribe were tough. The bidding was very keen on

This afternoon iilll he the filial race day for 1951 of the Western Harness Racing Association, Holly- wood Park, Cal. They opened on October 5th and this season has been the most successful since to the Golden State. The big event harness racing was brought back today is the 525.000 Golden Wes; Pace and we understand it will be broadcast over American radio stations. Among the horses com- pcting will be Good Time 1.57 4-5. Prince Jay 1.58 3-5, Highland El- len 1.58 4-5. Sampson Hanover 1.56 4-5, Tassel Hanover 1.58 2-5.

Last week we liieliiioilrd ivilere the brood more Jane Reynolds 2.07 has sold for 340 000 at the W. N Reynolds dispersal sale at Harris- burg, but we did not know at the t'me that she was barren last year. Walnut Hall Farm would seem to be taking a long chance in paying that amount of money for a 1'1- year-old brood more even though she is the dam of the world's joint. champion three-year-old pacer and noted stake winner Solicitor 1.57 2-5 and other remarkable progeny. Jane is by Scotland 1.591,; and her dam was Jane Revere 2.003.; by Guy Axworthy 2.0831. out of Volga ;lEZ 3. 2.0-1'-'.v. All her pedigree is teeming with speed and no doubt if she produces by one of the great sires at Walnut Hall Farm a good- ly portion of her price will be re- turned.

Clarence Gaines. proprietor of; Gainesway Farm, who made his money by popularizing what is considered to be the best. dog food in the United States. has put a great. deal of time. thought and 1110119) in building up a stock farm at Lexington. One of the stallions' recommended to him by Dr. H. M. Parshall was Peter Astra 4. 2'.0l'.-L. that was unbeatable in the colt. stakes. He has. however, been a great disappointment as :1 sire of speed-particularly early speed- and as a result his colts were not sought after this season.

But Mr. Gaines did make a hit when he bought. lil partnership with Walliiit Hall Stud, the stal- lion King's Counsel 1.311. whose first crop of foals have resulted in 11 with records ranging from 1.57 2-5 to 2.10. three of them in bet- ter than 2.05 including the world's champion three-year-old Solicitor 1.57 2-5 that lsroutzht 3100.000 at the Harrisburg auction.

Mr. Gaines bought Meda Volo 2, 2.04 2-5, 3, 2.00 3-5. that set the ason's record for three-year-oldl Ipacing fillies to 2.00 3-5 in win- fnilig the Hanover Shoe Farm Stake. She cost. him sl6,000 and would seem to be a rare bai';zaili lu, that price. She will be raced the coming season by Dclvin Mll- ler, the man that handled her so capably last year, and after he: racing days are over she will join the brood niiirc ranks at Gaines- v.'a.v Farm.

too pleased with the style of play used by the Monctoli Hawks last night and expressed his views to Johnny I-forcck in the Forum alleyway af-

Leo Lamouieux was not

ter the game. Horeck. however, seemed quite satisfied with the way his team played alld told Leo that it resulted in the Hawks liav- ing about .30 shots on the Island- crs' net.

. . . It must bc admitted lliat while the Hawks system of play is far from colorful it is effective against the Islanders. The Moncton for- vrards are fast skaters. watch their tliecks fairly well but have an lll201'li”l0d0X plan of attack. Their close checking appears to keep the opposition off balance and the Is- landers last night could not get. going as they did in other games. . . .

The Hawks played the red line consistently but not with the some skill exhibited by the Sydney Mil- lionaires. The visitors offense seemed to work better when the Islandcrs were at full strength than when they were short hand- ed During the time that the Is- landers were two-men short. in the second period the three Island de- fenders and Hal Gordon held the visitors off the score, sheet and kept the Hawks from continually pressing around the Islanders net . . . Hal Gordon was deserving of .- slnutout last night. The agile net- minrler rose to the heights on sev- eral hard shots but did not have ll:UCh chance on the one that beat him. He stopped the first drive bv Srholes but the Moncton forward carried or knocked the puck into the net along with himself as he slid along the ice and knocked Gordon out of the way. . . .

Bob Gray showed no ill effects of his knee trouble and he proved a tower of strength on the Island- e.rs' defense. Big Phil Vltale. who has drawn only one two-minute sentence in the last five games. and also Larry Travis played lieacls up defensive liockev. The Hawks appeared to have the number Ol the "Kid Line" and kept them tied up during the game. Marcel Clem- ents hung onto Colniy Bonhnmme like a leash to a dog.

Dept. of Physical Fitness. Charlotte- town Garrlson, Rotary Club. Play- ground Commission and the Forum local kids will have I chance to p'ay hockey this winter. This much l"ilS made clear at the annual iiwetilig of the ltbbies last Wed- ;.;-sdav niglit. If these. kids are to play hockey somebody mllSl- mm the bill and do the organizing and for their support of such work these clubs or associations are de- rr-rving of credit. The Islanders Hockey Club too will aid in a yr-iinqsters hockey program and i'.iei'c are other clubs who Will probably help although they have rat, as yet signified their inten- tions of doing so. . .

The first step in getting the ball rolling is to have someone do the orgaiiizing and again. as in the past several years. the Abbles have stepped forward to do this work. The Islanders. it is understood. plan to organize bantam and pee- i-.-cc leagues. But this is only N10 beginning and fortunately there are clubs and associations which will aid to finance one of the teams or age groups. This will par- tially take care of the YOUDEEF players and the older players or intermediates should be able to take care of themselves.

Left winger Jimmie Mac!-Eenzle scored an old time picture goal It the 50 second mark of the second period last night and it proved to be the clincher as the Islanders took a narrow 2-1 verdict over the Moncton Hawks at the Forum.

Macxenzie, skating in his famil- iar crouch. split the defence of Tom Rockey and sandy Milne in two after picking up Johnny Mor- row's pass. He fore in on Lockhart and as he attempted .to draw out the Moncton goalie the puck slid off his stick into the open cage.

Ccntreml-in "Buck" whitlock scored the 1slanders' first goal about the fifteen minute mark in the first period as he flicked the puck into the net from 3. wide scramble. George scholes .spoiled Gordon's bid for .1 shutout as he scored a sliding goal with less than three minutes left in the second session.

The win consolidates the Island- ers' position on second place in the league standings. They now have 30 points, four more than third place Glace Bfly Miners, who were idle last night.

Determined Bid

Joliliny 1-loreck made a deter- mined bid to pull the game out of the fire by pulling goalie Don Lockhart with 9. minute and 40 seconds left in the contest. The Islanders were a man short as the lime. Doll Bcllringer sitting in the cooler for elbowing. but Hal Gor. don and his defense held the fort.

Clements was the sixth forward that Horeck sent on me we and tile former Islander almost scored against his old tram mates. with 58 seconds left in the game Lock- liart was forced to return to his

cage and he remained there until the end. The game itself was a close

cliccklni:. tolorless affair with the h0Ck0.V being of .1 very mediocre calibre. The Hawks enjpoyed I wide shooting gm of 37 to 22 but many of the 1- shots were of the bluellne variety.

Hal Gordon played I terrific game In the Islanders net. and was robbed off I shutout by I freak goal which was hotly disputed by the Islanders. Hal came up with W-'0 breakaway saves, once off Murccl Clements in the second lberlocl and again off sclioles at the start of the third.

Few Penalties

Refei':es Elliot and Giilis had I comparatively easy night nanding 013- Only eight penalties, four aside. Six of the penalties were minors with Johnny Dutchak getting I Llaior and Marcel elements I ma. conduct.

Play was slow at the start as the Islanders couldn't get un. tracked and they seemed to stay that way -most of the night. .Tohnii.v Duttvhak handed out the first good body check as he hit

NEW YORK. Nov. 30 - (AP)- Middleivcights Ernie Durando Ind Paddy Young battled to a furious 10-round draw tonight in I toe. to-toe slugfest that easily was the most exciting battle of the new Madison Square Garden fight season. Young weighed 168 1-2. Durando 156 1-2.

With a non-title Jan. 25 shot It Middleweight champion Sugar Ray Robinson dangling for the winner, the two young bombers poured it on in savage flurrler of wild action.

There were no knockdown: al- though Durantlo, I 25-year-old oldater from Bayonne. N. J.. seem- ed on the way in the sixth and Paddy, pride of New York's Greenwich Village, was almost ready to go in the ninth.

Two officlail voted I draw and Judge Art Aidala had it for Young 5-4-1. Under New York State Athletic Commiulon rule: the majority rules. Referee George Walsh and judge Charley Shortell law it 5-5. Wallh had eight points each and Shortell seven for each. The AP card had it I light squeak for Young 5-4-1.
