A party in Charlottetown had a letter from a‘ ‘ semen in Qatar-la offering for sale a trotter eligible to the 2.26 class with a record of 2.12%. He stated that that was no measure of his speed, as he had shown miles in 2.10 and was a real money winner, but the owner had for business reasons to-sell. The writer "looked him up and found that he must pretty nearly hold the record for starts in 1935. His first race was on the 24th of May and he was still going strong the day before Christmas, In the in- tervening period he had started 2B times. His total winnings for all that amount of effort is $601.04!

Oh Boy Fisher 2.11. recently brought from Ohio by C. M. Alex. ander of Saint John, N, 3., took part in eleven races last year and has earnings of $568.17, making him eligible to the 2.24 trot. His record of 2.11 was taken in a win- ning race at Rlchwood, Ohio, Aug- ust ilth, where he won the first heat in 2.11, the second in 2.13 and 10st the third In 2.14 He won two other starts in slower time_

jrhe Charlottetown Driving Park and Provincial Exhibition Associ- ation is enjoying the distinction of having two of its directors presid-

We hada nice letter from w. c. ‘hummer yesterday, He is winter- 111’; Guy the Tramp 2.02% p.. 2.05% b. at Plnehurst, N. 0.. and says:

We are enjoying this lovely cil- mate here. The temperature ls 75 llemees today, with wonderful sun- shine. I never miss a day's training as both the five-eighth and half- inlle tracks here are always in 800d condition.

Just But a clipping from Hartford saying he won more races in i935 than any other horse in Canada or the U. S. A." Our read- crs will l member with pleasure Mr. Cruinmers visit here with Guy the Tramp and his great race with Toll Gate two seasons ago. Evi- ‘lfillly he liked our country and the friends he met. as he said in his concluding remarks. "I hope sometime to visit your dear little Island again and meet its many 1111p people."

During his career of six seasons on the turf Bogash made 56 starts. winning 39 firsts, l8 seconds, two thirds. one fourth and was only once unplaced. His total whining was $38,575. His record of starts and wins will compare favorably with that of any horse that ever lived,

The most talked of two-year-old at Longwood, Florida, is Twilight Song, the two-year-old daughter of Peter Volo 2.02, and Evensong (2) 2.08%, that trotted a mile one week ago in 2.32% with the closing quar- ter in 33 seconds. Sep Palin acting for E. J. Baker, tendered her own- er Billy Strang the sum of $5,000 for her, which if he had accepted would have meant $4.000 more than he paid for her at the Old Glory sale in November.

A, E. Webber, Bangor, Maine. who made such a wonderful cam- paign last year with Lady Locke 2.05%, will race her again this season, also Royal Hanover 2.0814 and The Northern Knight 2.0701.

Cape Breton horsemen are or- ganizing a two-year-old futurity for Nova Scotie bled colts to be raced Labor Day. There is a move on foot to have an exhibition and in connection with it harness horse racing for two days. There is also talk of a new free-for-aller being

' purchased by Sydney interests; T.

D. Van 2.02% is the likely choice. Last season he did not race very successfully but the previous one he was a bcarcat over the twice- arounds.

While on the subject of free-for- allers, it is a sure thing that the purchase oi one of that kind is a very doubtful investment, more so than any other kind of a race horse. Eree-for-allers have their peculiarities and have usually been through the hands of top notch trainers. who have raced thi- best out of them so that when they graduate to the Marltimes they are not only in less expert hands but have the handicap of being slowed up through previous exertions. Then again the climate here with its heavier air tends to retard most horses. some say two or more sec- onds, so that a 2.05 pacer over a half-mile truck in Ohio with the handicaps referred to. would prob- ably just beat 2.10 here.

George A, Callback, well-known horseman of Summerside. leaves for Europe next week a d will be absent for a month or ore in the interests bf the Canadian Nation- al Fur Department. George showed his capacity as a trainer and driver by marking Guy Ann in 2.24, a new Maritime record for Maritime breds_ With her slick way of going and high class breeding-by ~Clover Guy 2.071..i—she should beat 2.15 this year.

McAvoy-Lewis Bout Set For March 13th

(A. P. By G ‘a Special Wire) NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—'I‘he Jock McAvoy-John Henry Lewis light heavyweight championship match was definitely set today for March 13, at Madison Square Garden, so that McAvoy may return promptly to England to fight Jack Peterson for the British heavyweight title.

McAvoy, already in training here, will engage in three tune-up bouts before going after Lewis’ time. He boxes Jim Smith of Philadelphia here Feb. l7; Jack Kiemian at New Bedford, Mast, lleb. 22, and Ansdn Green of Pittsburgh, in Philadel- phia, two days later.

Dave Lumlansky. the Britons manager, went to Boston tonight to confer with Rip Valenti. Hub pro- moter, for a match between Mc- Avoy and Jack Sharkey late in tho Spring. Lumiansky figures if his battler can hurdle Sharkey, he'll be right in the thick of the heavy- weight situation.

compete against aged horses with success. Like the thoroughbreds, breeders are learning to intensify speed by doubling up blood lines. so the two-year-olds and three- year-olds vnll race as fast as‘ ‘five and six year old: would race years ago. It is a fact, however. that they do not have the lasting qualities. An animal raced hard as a two and three-yeu-oid very rarely

roves a capable performer in later

earn, while those whose vitality has been conserved until their de- velopment is fined, race on often until they are fifteen and sixteen years of ago.

There are exceptions. of course. Take Single G 1.58%, for example, Ho started racing an ‘a three-year-

‘old and was winning in better than

two minutes when he was fourteen ydbrs of ago, hence the auubriquet "The 8on0 That Time forgot."

hopes depend solely on the ability hitherto undefeated Britons. O I UNIOR ROYALS enthused their J supporters last night with their sound 7-2 victory in the opening game of the finals against the Abbies. There was little doubt they were the better team on the night's play and should they con- tinue n) display .the same form in the remainder of the games Abbies are going to have plenty of hard work cut out for them. Royals are the better balanced club of the two and carry a potent scoring punch in either line. Just how they com- pare with former junior squads would be difficult to judge but last night any foam in the junior ranks would have trouble disposing of them.

F‘ COURSE WE don't mean to infer that the Abbie cause is hopeless. They are a. much

better team‘than they showed last night and have to be considered strongly. ‘They took their defeat gamely and battled every inch of the way. There is a lot of spirit contained in their ranks that will carry them a long way before ti: titlists are declared and in our opinion the series will go four, if not five, games. O O O

RESULT OF THE game speaks

well for the local brand of basketball that is being played. Mounties always have a strong team and Grads are in line for congratulations. Tonight they face another still task as they take on the Intermediate Wanderers in Hali- fax but should they come through they will certainly have stamped themselves as one of the Marltime's most formidable intermediate bus- ketball squads.
