Great Activity For Big Show

of

Two will be in swing and, naturally, promoters are hoping that the great summer weather we experienced since mid-June will

Edward Island.

Directors, race officials, office staff, grounds caretakers and many others are busy as beavers these days getting everything m readiness for the big show which opens Monday Aug. 16 and runs through until Saturday night Aug. 21. There is always plenty to be done for a show of this magnitude. These things just don’t happen by chance. Promoters must work long and hard to bring the affair to a successful climax.

If you visit the track or the uptown office of The Provincial Exhibition Association you will find everyone on the dead run: Entries are pouring in for the various exhibits and Frank ‘Duck’ Acorn, race secretary and Ida Yeo, clerk of the course, are try- ing to fathom out the race entries received for the big week. There—certainlyappearsto—benoshortage of horses and we understand, weather permitting, race programs will go every afternoon and -every night. That’s twelve in all and it’s safe to @ay no place in the world is that race ambitious.

We'll have plenty more to say in this column about the speed. that will be visiting us during Fair Week. We can say at this moment that there will be horses galore coming fron the mainland. We have plenty of ability stabled right here on the Island and the visiting trotters and pacers will need to be especially fast if-they intend grabbing the lion’s share of the purses.

Anyway, things are shaping up for a banner week. Make arr preparations now to take in as miany-events as you possibly

Dry Those Tears

WHEN WE wrote this column we saw where: New York Yankees were mired deep in sixth place in the American League. About-the -only--consolationtheycould_take was that they are heading the second division, six games back of fifth place Chicago White Sox. They trail the league-leading Minnesota Twins by a gigantic 15 games.

. Yankee supporters will try to tell you that with a healthy Howard, Mantle and Maris the Bombers would have been leading the jack. Just don’t listen to that kind of nonsense. The New Yorkers haven’t got the pitching.

When the Yankees were great, scarcely anybody bothered te mention their fine mound corps. But if you honestly peruse the Yankee teams that went on to greatness, you must admit that they were blessed with oustanding hurlers. The trouble was they had so much power that their pitching just got over- looked by the sportswriters.

But this year the Yankees are displaying neither great pitching nor great hitting. They are just a good second division club with fio chance whatever of representing the American League in the world series. There is no use hiding your head in the sand. Make up your mind now that the Yankees haven't got it and may not have it for quite a few years to come.

Sorry, Yankee lovers, but those are hard cold facts you

must face. ? We're Pinch Hitting

NEW YORK (AP)—Cleveland Indian fans have good reason to be whooping it up for Rocky- Colavito. The veteran outfielder has moved: into a tie for the American League home run lead while taking over first place in the runs batted in com- petition.

Colavito, reacquired by the Indians last Jan. 20 in a three- way trade with Kansas City and

six runs last week. This gave him 71 for the. season and en- -\abled him to move past Harmon) Killebrew of Minnesota and Wil-! lie Horton of Detroit.
