Harold Stead. Brackley, has sold his pacers Hardroad Bill 2.18 215 and Calumet Onward 2.13 and they are now in the Frankie Dan- iels stable, Lawrencetown, N. s., and we presume will be raced over the Commons at Halifax in the near future. Hardroad Bill is an extremely well-bred pacer that has really had a hard road, something turning up to upset his racing ca- reer from time to time. If Frankie tan overcome the bad luck jinx IE should be arriving home first a good many times on the Coin- 'nons. In Calumet Onward he has I horse that can go to the quarter pole with almost anything in the Maritimes and that should be a big feature in racing at Halifax. ,

Rankin McLaine and Willard' MacDonald have returned from a business and holiday trip that took them to five race tracks and to the headquarters of the Chrysler Corporation. At Yonkers Raceway: the night of October 17th ithey saw Good Time set a new rack pacing mark of 201. He was three- quarters of a length in front of Thomas B. Scott and two lengths ahead of Major Hal, driven by Earle Avery, and Shamrock Sally. The tiny pacer trailed Shamrock Sally to the three-quarter pole. then set sail with a terrific burst for home. The previous track pacing mark was held by Dr. Stanton, My Horse and Shamrock Sally and was in 202. Shamrock Sally is a four-year-old pacer by Dean Hanover, that has been campaigned with great success by Joe Hylan. A few nights previ- ously she had won a S-1,000 eyent in 2.02 which, as mentioned above. equalled the track pacing record. Good Time's win that night made it 22 out of 42 starts for the seas- on with earnings of 3103,2349.

'l'hc,v also attended the races at Batavia. Richelieu track, Montreal, and Quebec City oval, where they met many they knew. At Quebec they had 9. long talk with George Giguere, the manager, and also with Louis Praught who has won many starts this season. Louis was kind enough to send to the rritcr a photo finish showing him iut in front with It real good irotter. He is a brother of Wilfred incl Leo Praught, Cherry Valley it Lewiston. Maine, they had a hat with Earle Semple, who was iriving Mona Clegg that night. Mona finished a close fourth. De-l spite the cool evening there was a good attendance and lots of play on the pari-mutuel. Another pleas- ant. part. of the trip for Rankin was meeting Del McTavish at Yonkers Raceway where Del won the fast trot, purse 33500, with Roy S. from a very fast field in 206. Del is one of the leading Canadian drivers whose racing is mostly over American tracks. He has four t.rot,ters in his stable than can beat 2.06 over a half-milc track, also good pacers and young- er material that will star in the future. He was very pleased tc learn about Pet Hanover's per- formances here-(he had reconi- mended her to Rankin and Roy Bevan)-and when Rankin men- tioned that she had won nine firsts and had taken a. record of 2.13 2K5, also that she. had won the two-mile t.rot at Truro in 4.42 :15, Del said that with her breed- ing and her performances here he is sure she can beat 2.10 next sea- son over Yonkers, Roosevelt or similar night racing plants.

Bill Brown, manager of the Forum, had a telephone conversa- tion with Alderman J. Harry Breez- of Halifax a few evenings ago. Harry and Bill Stewart with their wives took a trip to the U. S. A. and while there visited the C. T. Black Farm at Pleasantclale, Vir- ginia. where Watchim 2.06 was formerly in the. stud. Harry was sorry to learn that his brood mare, Miss Importance. in foal to Major Hal 2.03 W5. and foal were both lost, also that Bona Belle, in foal to Peter Song 2.00 had lost her foal. While there he bought a two-year-old colt by Watchim 2.06, dam. Mary A. Hal, that is now on its way to Halifax. Bill Stewart, we are glad to note, is back in the harness horse game again, but this time not with a fast record horse but with n weanling bought from C. T. Black. which is also on its way here with Harry's colt. Don't be surprised if this is only a start- er for Bill. who hasn't got over his love for the horses by any means.

We had A visit. from Myron Mac- Arthur, Kensington, Wednesday, and n is looking as fit as a dddle after I hard seasonls racing. In which he made 130 starts, was 34 times am, 37 times second and

22 times third, according to rough L-

He was the driver of the Jimmie-. Smith stable horses and among them was a three-year-old pacer called Dominion D. by Abner T. Clegg, that had very little done with him as 3 two-year-old. Ac- cording to our card wliich is still incomplete. he won eight dashes and took a record of 2.15 U5 and good offers have bcen made for him. He is a full brother to Mr. McGee, I. paccr that was develop- ed by J. Henry Dewitt and sold for 9. long price this summer and later took a record of 2.10 in Maine, and of course it is parties

addition to being a good head) driver he is a first class shoer and that has been a big help to -th

Smith stable. Jimmie Smith is one of the best known figures in harness racing in the Maritime: and Maine, an excellent trainer, conditioner and race driver him- self he knows just how to get his charges ready for the fray. Many times we have watched Jimmie snatch victory from what appear- ed to be certain defeat by a well- timed, masterly drive. Now he stands back and watches Myron do the trick.

Sherman Jenny of Walnut Hall Stud, Donnerail, Ky., will be a candidate for District No. 7, south eastern States, for the United States Trotting Association when that election is held in the near future. Mr. Jenny is a veteran of World War I, where he served in the R.C.A.F., and also a veteran of World War 2. He is deeply in- terested lii 311 phases of harness retiring from business is wholly engaged with Mrs. Jenny, in the operation of Walnut Hall Stud, one of the largest Standard Bred nurseries in the world.

The top driver in the United States with 200 or more starts as compiled by the Universal Driver Rating System, is Louis V. Huber, Jr., a. name that is not very famil- lar to us in the Maritimes but who has certainly an enviable re- cord. In 226 starts that have been reported to October 1st, he was 77 timesflrst, 43 times second and 21 times third, for the astonishing average of .478. Right on his heels is Wayne ifcurly” Smart, with 211 starts, 60 wins, 49 seconds and 33 thirds for an average of .446. Third was Delvin S. Miller with 231 starts, 61 wins, 51 seconds and 37 thirds for a .440 average.

Among the winners at New Gloucester, Maine, we notice the four-year-old pacer Mona Clegg", by Abner T. Clegg, and driven by Earle Semple, tlme,, 2.17 W5. The same evening Upton Clegg by Ab- ner T. Clegg, won in 2.16 2l5. Ab- ner Hanover, that raced in Myron MacArthur's stable some years ago won the CC Trot in 2.15 2l5, 2.17 2,15, and Arlene's Money, I. six- year-old pacing mare by Real Money, owned by Al Langille, Jr, won the C PLace with 5-1, time. 2.14 2l5, 2.16 2X5. Mona Clegg later at the same meeting wrs 6-1 in the C Pace, best time 2.15 U5.

The Japanese are going in very strong for harness racing and I Japanese import firm has notified the United States Trotting Asso- ciation that it has a client who expects to import in the near. fu- ture about thirty head of out- standing trqtters with a view to- wards developing the breed in that country. The first. evidence that Japan was becoming harness racing conscious came in March when the stallions Torpedo and B.J., and the mare Miss High- worthy were exported from Cali- fornia to that country. The sport is also undergoing a revival in England, according to a British illustrated periodical. Trotting en- thusiasts on the British Isles im- ported 14 horses from Holland in February and have conducted eight meetings since, supervised by a newly created governing body. the National Trotting Association of Great Britain. The ladies are taking a forward role in the Eng- lish version of harness racing and among the leading drivers is Mrs. Phyllis James and Miss Sarah Evarl. The races have usually from five to six entries and are at distances from six furlongs to one and one-half miles. Horses are handlcapped by distance, ten yards to the second with the handicap on the horse's best time over I mile. The article indicated that British harness horsemen while still modest in their claims for the future of the sport, are going

Victory Over

SYDNEY. Oct. 31 - (OP) - Kal- ifax Atlantics, leaders of the Maritime Major Hockey League, ended a disastrous Cape Breton in- vasion here tonight before 1,817 paid fans when they bowed 4-3 to Sydney Millionaires on Eddie Mar- lneau's goal with only nine seconds left to play.

Atlantics came to Cape Breton Thursday with a five-game winning streak, and promptly lost 3-0 to Glace Bay Miners. Despite their second loss tonight they stayed out front by two points while Sydney continued to share second spot with Charlottetown Islanders.

Marineau, Sydneyls big sniper thLs week had Just left the penalty box when he ripped into the Hall- fax end and blasted home a pass from Freddie Hildebrand to break the 3-3 tie.

This was Atlantlcs' first visit to Sydney and the contest was packed with action. Many felt referee Hughie Gillis ruled too lenlently and high-sticking, chopping and tripping were going on a good part of the time.

Late in the third. Sydney goalie Nick Pidsodny and Halifax captain Billy Watson started a wrestling match. Then Duszger McNeil and Marineau joined in the fray while all players milled around.

After about five minutes of rough- ing and pushing, referee Gillis started play-without calling a pen- altv.

condition was reported satisfac- tory tonight.

Dr. John W. Gerrie, who per- formed the operation, said it

wasn't as difficult as anticipated. McNeil was injured Wednesday night in Toronto when he dived to the ice to block a low shot. Dr. Gerrie indicated he couldn't say now how long McNeil will be out of hockey but Canadians man- agement. doesn't expect him to return for several weeks. Canadians have brought up Jac- ques Planle from Montreal Roy- als of the Quebec Senior League

Planie won't look the lame to Montreal fans,when he skates out

For years the lanky goalie has worn a toque, fitting snu ly over his black hair. Not only does he wenr multl-colored toque: but he knits them himself.

But no toque tomorrow night: Coach Dick Irvin of Canadian: simply said Plante "will be in the big time now-and no toque,"

Years ago, the late George Vex- Ina, C nadien:' great goalie for whom the Vealna award was nom- ad. wore n toque. Then along came Planle, the only toque-tow ped goalie in captivity.

Canadians have made no so- nouncement yet what they will do after Plante serve: his three-game stint.

MONTREAL, Oct. 31-(CP) - Away back on Nov. 8, 1942, Maur- lce Richard scored his first goal in the National Hockey League. Just out of senior amateur com- pany, he was playing his third game with Montreal Canadiens. New York Rangers were Canad- lens opponents at Montreal Forum.

Tomorrow night - almost 10 years later to the day and with Rangers again the opposition- Richard will go after goal no. 325. the goal that will break the life- time record of any N.H.l... player.

Nels (Ole Poisonl Stewart cam- paigned through 15 seasons -n amassing 324 goals. But the sea- sons were shorter in those days when he played with the old Montreal Maroons, Boston Bruins and New York Americans.

Stewart To Attend .Stewart will be on hand tomor- row night to watch Richard-and pull for him. By telephone from his Port Colborne, 0nt., home. Stewart told managing director Frank Selke of Canadlens: "I am greatly honored to attend the game and I hope my presence helps Richard break the record.”

Richard, 31 years old and still going strong, is in his 11th sea- son. He tied Stewart's record last Wednesday night in Toronto.

Acadia This

A saint Dunstnn's University graduate and one of its..star nth- letes of other years will return to his Alma Mater this afternoon and attempt to stall its advance to- wards the Maritime Intercollegiate football championship.

It will be Fred Kelly, I. graduate of St. Dunstan's in 1919 and coach of Acadia University football and hockey teams for more than n quar- ter of n century. Today he will pit his strong Acadia Axemen against the Saints in an important Marl- time Intercollegiate football game.

The game is a must for the local Collegians who are tied for first place in the Maritime League with Mount Allison , University. The Mounties play at. r.x. today at A lgontsh. I

The game is the last. Intercolleg- iate contest to be played hercythis you-. It will be played on St. Dun- mm: field and will get underway at 2.30. '

The two universities have met only three times in the out 2.5 years and each time Acadia hove emerged the winner. The Saints will be out to break that record to- day and also avenge their only de- feat. of the current campaign.

The Salntsflrst played Acadia in 1911 and lost a 19-0 verdict to the Axemen and coach Kelly. They met again in 1932 and this time the Aoufiuis. under Kelly's guidance. won 29-0. rather Muually coached the Saints. Two weeks ago the Au- men defuwdtho Saints 8-0 for the Snlntai only lost of the 1052 much.

'l'ho-Saints will be out to wipe out that record this afternoon. Luv.

Richard Shooting For ,NeW Record In Game Tonight Against Randers

est to Stewart's mark were the late Howie Morenz and. Aurel Joliat, now living in Ottawa. They, too, saw service with Canadians and eiih scored 2'70 goals.

The active player now closest to Richard-is Max Bentley of the Toronto Maple Leafs with 222 goals. Bentley missed two seasons while in the armcd forces and is in his 11th season us A player.

Hail No. I Yuck

Richard still has the puck he drove in for goal no. 1. He has others, too, which mark special occasions, such as the times he has passed cnch ccnlury mark and when he tied Stewart's record.

The netminder who let in Rich- ard's first goal 10 years ago and took a. 10-4 drubbing from Can- adiens was Steve Buzinski of Swift Current, Sask. Hockey men recall that Steve thought pretty well of himself.

But it's a matter of record that after 55 pucks whizzed past Steve in nine games, llangqrs decided

Ken McAuley of Edmonton had better take over.

It is also a matter of record that early in the game in which Richard scored his first goal, cockshure Steve snared one goal- labellcd puck with his hand, turn- ed to teammate Ott lvlcller and said:

"Nothing to it. Oil: just; like

picking apples off A tree."

The Saints have worked hard this week to be ready. They will field the same team that humbled St. F. X. 18-2 a week ago.

The Axemen arrived in the city yesterday evening and have all their regulars available for the big game. The only, team which has scored on them to date this season is Mount Allison.

The Axemen have n 250 pound forward In their lineup by the name of Sears. Otherwtse their team is about the same size as that of the Saints. Conch Kelly culls it a good team but at little short on expeg. fence.
