Commander George H. Buntain. Secretary of the Charlottetown track, has handed us a. picture of ‘the new starting gate used at Woodstock this week. Q the end of the first afternoon there was some dissatisfaction with it but on the second afternoon it was given the 0K. This gate differs entirely from the one used st Charlottetown. It is overhead with runners on each side of the track end wias designed end built in Saint John. Over $30,000 was spent in its development and con- struction and it is capable of at- taining e controllable speed of 40 miles per hour. Robert Weath- erby. the inventor. expected to have e representative of Roose- velt Raceway st Woodstock to see the new gate in action.

The final night racing program of the season is scheduled for the Charlottetown Driving Park track tonight and it may well be that the windup of the under-the- lights races may produce some of the best racing of the season-a season that has already produced many fine meetings.

Four classes of two heats each. with 32 horses competing, is what the bill-of-fare offers and again upsets are liable to be frequent with close finishes practically a. certainty due to the splendid manner in which the classifying committee have placed the trot- ters and pacers.

In golf a real battle looms up for this afternoon when “Mousey" Dowling and Art McKenzie tee of! in a 36-hoie match for the Bel- vedere men's club title to decide the holder of the crown won last year by "Pud" Beer. Both long ball hitters, both deadly on the greens, and both steady under pressure, the match should pro- duce hot competition all the way through. with the outcome prob- ably remaining in doubt until the final hole has been reached.

4 + -l- 1|-

Both golfsmiths finished well up in the running with McKenzie, the opening day leader shading his tomorrow's opponent. Since that time the game of both has been consistently good and if both an "on" today, golf fans will likely see one of the best finals in the history of play for the Club title.

Meanwhile the vanguard of the players taking part in the Mari- time senior golf tournament that will be held over the tough Bel- vedere course next week have ar- rived in the City and when start- ing time rolls around on Monday morning it is expected that around 150 will be ready to drive off their opening shots in the three- dny tournament that will con- clude on Wednesday.

Golf has had s big season these past few months-one of the best. it is said in years-and in addit- ion to next week's competition two other major tourneys are mapped out The high handicap program, being tried out for the first time. is expected to draw large numbers of the lesser lights in golf. while the name tournam- ents will conclude with the hold- ing here of the Maritime profes- sional competition late in Sep- tember, s competition that, will prove e, fitting climax to what has been s great golfing season.

Reece Evens Up Playoff Series With 2-1 Victory

Ci-iarlie Ryan's Junior Reece baseball team eked out s close 2-1 win over the Kinsmen in the sec- ond game of the best out of ave series st the Memorial Field diamond last night before s fair- sized crowd of fans. The win for the Reece squad sent them into s tie with the Kinsmen in the playoffs for the City title. Each team has one game with the third game scheduled for Monday night.

The winners backed by the brilliant hurling of "Spy" Reedy, scored two runs in the fourth in- ning and then held on to their lead while the Kinsmen scored their lone tally in the lasfwhalf of the fourth inning.

The game was the best pitching duel in the Junior League this season with both pitchers, Ready and Frankie Currie hurling three- hit chores. Ready in gaining the win struck out ten Kinsmen bat- ters and didn't walk a player ss he turned in. his best pitching effort of the year. Currie on the other hand limited the hard hitting Reece team to three hits, struck out six players and walked two batters. The hits off Ready were two infield blows and s. Texas Leaguer. One of the hits off Ourrie was s long triple into left field by l-fowatt and the other two were a clean single end an infield blow.

. Errors Numerous

There were eight errors in the game, with the Reece accounting for flve of the miscues and the Kinsmen three. Brien Lewis again proved to be a tower of strength in the outfield for the losers. u he came through with three nice catches in his outer garderls. The best effort in the fielding de- pertinent for the winners was turned in by their left fielder Earl Corish, who made s nice catch in the sixth inning of! Coyle as he raced to right to grab the hard hit ball.

Both team battled through three scoreless innings before the limited scoring parade opened in the fourth frame with the win- ners scoring two runs on two hits and two errors. The losers‘ only tally came in the last half of the same inning as they combined a two-base error and s hit for the run. From then on till the end of the game the pitchers were too good for the batters as they i-litottled the would-be hitters on one hit.

0H1? hitter .to gsrner more than one hit was the second baseman for the losers. Charlie Kennedy, as he accounted for two thirds of his team's total array of hits when he wslloped two singles. only extra base hit in the game W" turned in by Howatt when he smashed s triple that Joe Coyie couldn't field.

Solomons To Take fiver . Jacobs’ Job?

BY LIAN IIABVIY ifillldlln Plele Stiff WIIOI)

LONDON, Aug. 21 — (C?) — In a tiny, third-floor office off Piccadilly, reached by e. winding stairway which passes s billiard parlor and e. slightly soiled gym- nasium, telephones tinkled incess- antly today

One sensational sentence in a London newspaper started it all:

“The upshot is likely to be that Solomons will step in as the ‘world's greatest boxing fig-lire - s Tex Rickard of modern times."

The telephones kept ringing. but the answers were distracted. For promoter Jack Solomons and his right-hand man Sammy Burns were staring raptly into space. their minds immersed in vast new vistas. They refused to elaborate on the report. published in the Daily Express, that Solomons had been invited to take over the New York promotional mantle of elderly. ailing Mike Jacobs.

“Premature? snapped Burns. But it was true, he admitted, his boss had offers from "two or three big” Unted States boxing syndicates.

In Canadian Press interviews two weeks ago. Burns hsd visual- ized just such an invasion of "Jacobs Beach."

In nod-September Solomons will start a weekly series of fights featuring American and Continent- al fighters. Canadian standouts like Toronto's Arthur King and Montreal's Fernand Gagnon rnsy be armong the coming attractions

What about Jacobs Bench? Aren't a couple of unsuspecting Englishmen like Solomons and Burns a little wary about tingling with the bad boys of Broadway?

“We're not so unsuspecting." Burns replies blandly.

Asfor Solomons. rememberinghe staged his first fight in s derelict church 17 years ago for s top price of three shillings sixpence (70 cents) ringside, he just keeps on dreaming the biggest box- office dream of them all.

Not bad for a man “who's lisicd in the London telephone directory as "fshmgr" - fishmonger.

Large Entry List Expected For Golf Meet

w. Charles ll. Jubicn, secre- tar-y-tressurer of the Maritime Seniors’ Golf Association, who er- rived in the city yesterday after- noon, informed the Guardian lest night that over one hundred and twenty members have registered to date. and more are expected before the match draw takes place this evening. The results of the draw will be posted in the lobby or the Charlottetown Hotel on Sunday morning.

Mr. Jubien explained that s new system introduced two yeers sgo, for tournament regietreticn by post card has proven most sat- isfactory thanks to the coopera- tion of the Association members.

August 1s fest drewinl to l no“. As the month began anglers held high hopes for an imPPm/E‘ meat in fishing condition! with attcndant bigger catches. Now. virith the end of the trout fisiiinl in sight, (it closes on September 15th) many anglers are reshned to circumstanc beyond their control and are willing to settle any day for a catch of from three to a half dozen 1-2 or 3-4 pound trout.

August has been s lean month ss far as creeied trout is con- cerned. There are some nice trout lying in some pools I have looked over but they are not interested in baits or lures. There have been a few good takes i.n August but for every angler who went home satisfied there were ten time! l5 many who were feeling anythina but cheerful. On Monday BM Tuesday of this week I visited mggjy of the top notch fishing spots in 'western Prince County. Old familiar names were checked off my lis-t. Names such as B18 and Little Pierre. Jacques. Get- sorrs, Cairns MacAuslauidfia. long Creek Bridge. Myrick's. 5hes's. Black Pond etc.. but if, was appar- ent that anglers in West Prince were no better off than in other sections of the Province. Only c few anglers were observed tryiri! their luck and still fewer trout in evidence . . . mean in the fishing baskets.
