Taylor and Vickers played.a sen-

Both semi-finals brought out
galleries that sloshed through rain

finishes through a thick fog that
rolled over the Aucastcr course.
They had their thrills at the
end of each match,
Close Finish
Leonard won the 35th with a
birdie four and squared the match
with a par four on the 36th. On
the extra hole Leonard's second
went in a trap but he got on the
green in three, 12 fecl. from the
pin. Sandy, playing perfectly, was
on in two and two putted for a

League champions, have shown up
in a. surprising manner. Hardly
given a. chance at the start, the
team, under the skilful guidance
of Tommy McFarlane has been
throwing up a defence that is hard
to penetrate and although their
stickwork has been rather wcak
nevertheless have been getting hits
where they count most; and on top,
of all this display a fighting spirit
that makes them dangerous in ev-
ery game until the final out has
been called. Today they are one of
the most feared teams in the
league and just have to be reck-
oned with when the winners are
being picked.
C U l
I-TILE Tl-IE GROCERS have
been the big surprise the
defending champions. the
Falcons are thc real disappoint-
ment. Failure of the "Birds" to
display nnything like their last
season’s form has sent them to
the bottom of the league and nn-
less they take a grip on them-
selves very soon little hope is held
bl' their followers that they will
be able to retain their title.
C 1 O
NE VICTORY out of seven
starts is the unenviable rc-
cord that they have built up
thus far and five of the defeats
have been consecutive. Pitching is
by. no means to blame. Their
hurlers are performing ns capable
as any in thc league but it is in ,
the fielding that the fault lies. |
Errors at crucial stages have lecl 1

the National Rifle Association’s
72nd annual meeting opening July
8 when the Empires keenest mili-
tary shots match nerve and experi-
ence over all ranges.
Canadafs team, which should be
one of the strongest the Dominion
has ever sent, a formidable com-
bination of brilliancy and experi-
ence, hopes not only to match the
Dominlon's wonderful record last
year but to excel it, and possibly
again capture the Kings Prize, the
classic for marksmen. The last cc-
caslon for Canada was in 1929 when
Lt.-Col. R, M. Blair of Vancouver
scored the blue ribbon of Empire
marksmanship.
This being the Silver Jubilee year
of the King, the Empire meeting
over Blsley‘s far-spreading ranges
takes on a new note, The consfesi-
tion oi the military teams from all
parts of the Empire in some meas-
ure will compensate for the fact
that the Emplrc's fighting services
abroad were not represented dur-
ing the Jubilee celebrations.

For a year ago, with much the
same outfit as is on the way Over.
the Canadians cleaned up, with
young Lieut. P. J. Martinson of La
Tuque, Quebec, very much to the
forefront. In team prizes, the Can-
adians regained the Kolapore Cup
from the Mother- Country and they
regained the Ma/:kinnon Challenge
Cup from Scotland. These are the
two greatest of team shoots for
marksmen.
In the two big aggregates, Mart-
inson won the All-Comers outright
with a magnificent total of 331 out
of 340. and he tied with Major
sharlies Bunch, formerly R. A. F.
o lead the Grand Aggregate, an
even more varied test. ‘
In the individual shoots a year
ago Canada was at the top on most
occasions, to lose many prizes in
tie shoot-offs. But Martinson won
the bronze medal in the King’s
Prize; Sergeant James Borland of
Toronto won the Prince of Wales
Prize, second only to tla'-. Kings
and Martinson won the Stock Ex-
change Cup.
And while they are determined to
hold the two great team prizes.
the Kolapore and Mackinnon, the
Canadians in this Silver Jubilee
year are even more intent on get-
ting Canadivs seventh victory in
the Kings. Their last was in 1929,
in a, memorable shoot-off in which
Lt.-Col. R. M. Blair of Vancouver
nosed out Lieut. Desmond Burke of
Ottawa, who won the classic him-
self in 1924.

Frank Boucher who was pre-

ing that he will not compete for
the new trophy donated by Lady
Byng. "I think you will agree that
1 have had more than my share
of the cup," said the gentlemanly
Boucher. "That is just the sort of
sporting thing that Frank would
do,” stated Mr. Calder. He added
that t.he dark-haired stick hand-
ling wizard was one of the finest
sportsmen in the history of hockey.
Boucher first won the trophy in
the 1927-28 season and captured it
every year after that with the ex-
ception of 1981-32 when Joe
Primesu of the Maple Leafs was
the winner.
A sports writer who knows
Boucher intimately says-“Do not
imagine hc does not become peeved
on occasion: he does. He resents
being singled out for pimishment
but as he explains it, 'I get terribly
angry but I start counting and
than I know it would be small

labor under the impression that I
should win the cup."‘

There have been twelve mares
which have produced more record
holders than Nervoln Belle, like-
wim a number which are credited
with more sons and daughters
which attain some distinction. but
when one considers quality and ac-
complishment of the various mat-
rons and their breeding on prcciivi-
ties, Nervola Belle indeed stands
supreme.
Harness horse trainers in the
state of Nebraska have been seri-
ously handicapped in their work
by rain, Last month there were 21
phoons and dust storms have cur-
tailed the activities of the trainers.
A total of 281 entries were re-
ceived for l-lambletonian Stake No.
12 for foals of 1934 which closed on
May ist. Walnut Hall Farm with
111 entries tops liin list of the 46
nnminntors in the rich event for
tluro _venr old troticrs to be raced
in 1937. Hanover Shoe Farms with
30 and W. N. Reynolds with 24 are
next on the list.
David Guy (3) 2.05 1-4 exported
to Germany ten years ago, has sired
56 trotters that have taken records
equivalent to our 2.30 list since his
advent to that country. The writ-
er saw him race in a handicap trot
at the Mariedorf track, Berlin;
who will win the three year old
trotting championship scepter is a
ticklish question. The three most
likely candidates are Greyhound
<2) 2.04 3-4 that won the greatest
number of races last year. Silver
King (2) 2.06. winner of the most
money, and Lawrence Hanover (2)
2.02 that got the fastest record.

The best workouts arc .a mile in
2.19 by Lusty Frisco with the lash
quarter in 31 1-2 seconds. 'I‘he pac-
er Winnie Winkle 2.12 1-2 stepped
in about the same notch". Besides
the above there were a. lot of miles
trained in from 2.25 to 2.35 with
fast bmshes at the end. There is
an absence, however, of the com-
petitive workouts that were so in-
teresting years ago when two or
moro aged fast record horses would:
hook up in duels of speed. _ `
There are fuliyas many horses
in trainhzg as other years, perhaps
more, but the majority eonsists"of
two and three yearolds lured. an
'by the prospect of being futuriiry
calibre by the time the Prince Ed-
ward Island futuriiips arc raced.
Tho most noteworthy fact in regard
to these is that they seem to be
better mannered, better gaitcd and
-better developed by far than Wits
of similar ages that we have seen
some years ago. Like the Kentucky
horsemen our Islander has learned
how to feed for size and strength
and the good sires and good bgooci
mares have given us colts anddil-
lies that take innruction more
quickly and learn to trot more eas-
ily than those of other years.
Yesterday morning we had a very
interesting talk with Councillor B.
Roy Holman, whom we mentioned
as having been a. guest at the Met-
ropolitan Speedway while on a re-
cent; visit to Boston. Like every
other Islander that mccls George
McDonald or Dr. F. W. Christopher
“B. Roy” came home with glowing
accounts of their friendship and
hospitality.
"Islanders were as thick as flies"
said Roy. "I was stopped three
times in as many blocks by chaps
that came out and said they knew
me, called me by name and were
tickled pink io shake hands with
a Spud Islander. I thought as I
sat inthe Judges Stand at the
Speedway, how unique it was for
three Islandcrs to he tlicre. tivo 0*’
them officials."
