He said the work of classifier was not always a. pleasant one and no doubt he had made mistakes by over-estimating the speed of some horse: and under-estimating that of others. but it was always with the best of intentions,

He was pleased to again present the 21.1". Acorn Memorial Race Prizes to the leading drivers in the night racw. 'I'his season it had been decided to include all night racing. The method of arriving at the standings was the Universal Driver Rating System in use at all the night racing plants in the U.S.A.

A minimum of 30 starts was set for this year's competition. He then gave out the results as follows: -

The centre field is also being dug out and the clay will be dump- ed in the hollow at the east end of the track, the intention being to fill it in completely and move the stables at the south of the track over there when this has been done. It is said that a tunnel will be constructed that will permit passage of autos to the centre field after it has been dug out. A strip 2t feet wide will be left in- side the guard rail of the track to pennltsjogging of horses and a display of prize cattle during Ex- hibition.

N. Y. Yankees Lose Top Spot In A. L. Standings As Tigers Win 9-7

By STEVE ROBERTSON

Three ponderous home can: by big John Mlze failed to hold first place for New York Yankees Fri- day as Detroit surged into a half-game lead in the American League with a 9-7 uphill victory.

Hank Borowy. a Yankee castoff of yesteryear. chilled his old mates with a one-hit. shutout re- lief job in the last four innings after Art l-iouieman' was battered freely in the first five.

Ted Williams returned to ac- tion and demonstrated his physical fitness by slamming out four hits. including a three-run homer. as Boston .Red Sox overpowered St. Louis Browns 12-9.

Thus Steve O'Nelll's musclemen advanced to within 1 1-2 lengths of the Tigers.

As a result of the day's slug- ging at Detroit and St. Louis. the pennant race looks like this: Team W L GB Left

Detroit .... .... 16 New York .. 84 15 Boston ...... .. 2 134 15

The gathering of 25.900 in Briggs Stadium died a thousand

deaths during the chill afternoon as the Tigers twice came from behind to square this important

m series with a 12-bit attack on three New Yiork pitchers

The win assured the Tigers of at least a tie in the season series. giving them a 11-10 edge going into today's final meeting with the Yankees.

Junior Baseball . Finals Scheduled Here Tomorrow

The second and third games of the City Junior Baseball finals will be played tomorrow on the Memorial Field diamond between the Knights and the Vics. The Knights. already leading the ser- ies with a win, could very well wrap up things in the games over the week-end. But the Vics have other ideas. They will be out to win both games against the pow- erful Knights.

The Ryan coached crew will likely send a pair of southpaws against the Vics in Jackie Burke and Jack "Spy" Ready. Ready won the first game from the Vics and the long rest of four day: should benefit a sore arm he has been nursing. The Vics are ex- pected to retaliate with Ev. Beagan and or? of their southpaws will likely e Allan MacLeod. Beagan started the first game but was yanked in favour of MICLCOd.

In all cases the between the two teams will pro- duce some top entertainment for the fans in attendance. The first game is to start at 1.30 sharp.

Workout Today

The senior Abbie Football team is to hold a workout this afternoon at 2.45 and all member: of the team are asked to be on hand at Victoria Park to attend. the prac- tice. The coaches will be glad to

see some new faces at the prac- tice and all are welcome to at- tend it.
