In 1930 as a two- year-old he was given a time rec- ord of 2.28 at Halifax. In 1940 as a three-year-old he was in the stable of Billy Keyes and made ten starts, having four winning brackets and taking a record of 2.15 at Bangor. His best perform- ance was in the 2.14 trot at Fry- burg, which he won from nine other starters. In 1941 as a. four- year-old he made eight starts and had seven winning brackets and reduced his record to 2.11. Among the races we remember particular- 1y was the 2.25 class at Montague. Watohlm won the first heat in 2.11 3-4. Paulabbe the middle heat, with Scotty Watson second. and Watchim won the third heat and race in 2.12. In the 2.18 trot 1' Charlottetown August 13th. he was 1-1-2, Puulobbo winning the third and fastest heat in 2.12 b2, Peter-pin 2-2-3.

Ae s five-year-oid in 1042 he made 1i starts and had seven winning brackets. His race at . summer-side July 15th over a npw- ly made track was one that will never be erased from the memories oi those who witnessed it. It was a battle of giants.

A meeting of the City Hockey League executive is scheduled for this afternoon at 4 o'clock when once and for all the status oi th: Legion hockey team as far/as their entry into the City Hockey Mague is concerned will be decided.

But yesterday evening the mat.- ter took another decided twist. In answer to a query a Legion offi- cial stated it “was very unlikely" the Legion would have a team in the league. Questioned further he stated the two main reasons were being unable to find a coach and a. lack of interest on part of some of the players the club had been depending upon. 1' i’ 1- 1P That ll how the matter stands at present. But with the league opening scheduled for Tuesday night next‘in this department's opinion it seems to be pretty nearly time that something oi a definite nature was taken on the matter. It-has been a case of one day hearing the Legion \vould oe participating and the next hear- ing the.dlrect opposite. It is cer- tainly not to the benefit of read- ers to read such conflicting state- ments and the city [league's move in calling today's meeting is cer- tainly a step in the right direction '0' 1' ll- 1'

However a City League official stated last night that despite the difficulties that have been en- countered the League will swing into action on Tuesday night nex‘ with Navy and Prince oi Wales meeting in the scheduled opener.

The old year of i947 in his dying momenta left us something to re- member hlm by besides u beautiful summer, a crisp hazy autumn and an early December that left little to be desired, for he lashed out. savagely in a series of wild storms and left a snuwbound country- side for his successor to take over.

From a weather standpoint old 1047 will go down on record as being in a class all by itself and the last minute fiareup only en- hanced what had gone before. It's an impossibility to please everyone no odds what type of weather is dished out and in this instance it is the duck hunters who hold a grudge against the old man who has gone to his reward. The year lust passed will be remembered as a lean year fm" those who hunt- ed waterfowl. Ducks were plentiful but practically unobtalnable as they took advantage of the Indian summer weather and remained for the most part well outside. Wild- geese were scarce during the open season as they farried along the. migration route to the north of us and when rough weather hur- ried them up they ran a throughi train once they got underway, Al few choice flocks stopped off‘. early in December to break the: journey and fill their crops butl they dld'nf stay long.
