'I'he iastest mile paced in On- tario this season was by Dillon nicks. owned by W. N. Meldrum oi Norwick. Ont. Her time was 1,06%. The fastest mile paced in the Maritixnes this season was by Time Counts at Covehead, Sep- tember l7th-2.06 3/5—so the On- tario horse has a shade the bet- ter oi us. Dr. lvieldrum is also the owner oi the all time champion two-yesr-old oi Canada, David Dillon 2.10%, winner oi this year's iuturity and the matron stake oi Canada and. the Super-Test Stake. +

Recently we mentioned about the accident at Roosevelt Race- way when Tompkins Hanover. driven by Franklyn Saiiord. put. a leg through Frontiersmans sulky. both horses going down. The Canadian driven Clint Hodg- lns trailing with Scrantonian was unseated and catapulted through the air. landing in driver Maher's lap. who was teaming Dutch Har- bor. Dutch Harbor with the double load finished fourth. When ques- tioned later Hodgins said, “Mah- .er's first words were, ‘I ought to drop you ofl, I could finish third."'. Clint's reply was, “No. don't let me off, hit the horse in- stead." The above taken irom the 1-larness Horse completes the story which was first given to us by Rankin McLaine who heard oi the happening over the radio.

A iew evenings ago we received in the mail a catalogue oi Gaines- way Farm yearlings, foals oi 1546. which were auctioned on Tuesday evening. September 30th. Gainesway Farm. as we men- tioned before, is owned and oper- ated by Clarence Gaines. who was the originator oi Gaines Dog Food which he sold to General Foods ior a tremendous sum and purch- ased a stock farm in Lexington, placing there the stallion Peter Astra 4, 201th. winner oi over B51000; the stallion Volatlon 4. 2.00%, and King's Counsel 1.58. winner oi over $115,000. The same keen attention to detail which made his dog food so famous, is being used in the preparation oi food formulas ior stallions, marcs and other produce. Pictures oi the youngsters that were sold

. this season irom Gainesway, Farm are among the finest we have ever looked at. We predicted when Mr. Gaines started this farm that it would be a great success and now we are sure oi it.

As a result oi the terrible acci- dents which recently happened at Roosevelt Raceway and elsewhere in which drivers Henry Thomas and Harry Goodheart received fractured skulls. a movement is underway to make it compulsory ior drivers to wear the metal skull protector such as is used‘ in Australia.

BROOKLYN. Oct. 3 -(AP)—"1i a similar situation should arise again, I would do the same thing- order Reiser walked."

That's how Yankee manager Bucky Harris tonight answered the second-guessers who wondered why, with two out in the ninth, and the tying ru-n on base, pitcher Bill Bev- cns intentionally walked the D06- gers limping Pete Reiser. Harry Lavagettos double scored Al Gren- iriddo and Eddie Mlksls, both pinch- runners. with the tying and win- ning runs.

Series Notes

(By Pat Ussher)

EBBETS FIELD, Brooklyn, Oct. 3—(CP)-Veteran Hugh Casey to- clay had the easiest World Series’ working day on record when ne was credited with Brooklyn's sec- ond consecutive victory over the Yankees. . . .The big pitcher threwonly one ball to put out a dangerous Yankee fire. . . .With the bases loaded and one out in the top of the ninth, Casey made Tommy Henrich hit back to him ior a double play that finished the Yanks oiiensively. . . .

'I'iie bombshell blow that won ior the Bums minutes later was Cookie Lavagettds pinch - hit double with two men out. . . .But it was Casey who made victory possible and who got himseli into the record books on two counts. He became the first pitcher in a World Series to _win a game ‘on one pitch and the first to win two World Series contests on consecu- tive days. Thursday -he won a re- liei victory‘ pitching only 2 2-8 innings.

O O O O

One o1 the neatest plays oi the game was right fielder Henrich’! agile leap to spear Gene Her- manskfs drive with one hand for the final out in the Dodger half oi the eighth. It set the stage for

and by writing lbout it there was O chance someone wmild be NW9d paying out a considerable sum of money. It was not with the inten- tion oi throwing any reflection‘ upon the residents oi the Peakdsl district and I was PUPDOBBIY V881"! in mentioning the exact spot ior fear oi causing embarrasanent to some innocent isrmer.

O O O Since Mr. EZE. Jay has called the play. however, I see no reason why I should not be a little more spe- cLilc as this columnist does not write anything that comes to mind just in make something to read. To begin wit the incident hap- pened along t e road leading irom Mount Stewart, past the cemetery to Pcakes Station. What ‘rs gener-

ally reierred to in the district as Peakes’ Road is the road lending irom Peakes Station to Grants Bridge and Morell.

The iield oi stooks was describ- ed as being on the right side oi the road and was roug-hly three miles from Mount Stewart or approxim- ately hallway between that village and Peakes Station. I know both ilshermen personally and they are both reliable and observant. They told me that beyond the grain feld was a patch oi sod land and next to that was a group of iarm build- ings with a barn side on to the highway with a. sort oi ‘Ditch’ rooi and painted red. The ditch was de- scribed as shoulder high and the men were resting their guns on the edge like soldiers on the parapet

oi a trench. O

It was impossible to miss this setup as it is" the first 'group 0f buildings on the right after leav- ing Mount Stewart. Strangely en- ougih the stubble iield in question is onfy about 10 chains past Mr Jay's gate on the opposite side of the road. No wonder he couldn't locate the spot as he was appar- ently locking too far from home I understand the owner of the red barn is his brotiher-in-law so Mr Jay will have plenty co-cperation in ferreting out all the facts.

Whether or not an infraction was committed i-s a question. There is no law to prevent a man carry- ing a gun on the Kings highway providing the gun carrier minds his own business. Supposing the game warden had happened along

shots were fred and they could have told him that they were there to protect the birds from a hawk and it was the hawk they were looking iovr. However much the warden might doubt their story they wouldn't be very much he could do about it.

Some day the right number will turn up and the game warden will shout BINGO - and that'1l be the windy Wednesday.

Wild Scenes Fcflow Dodgers’ Surprise llictory

BETS FIELD, Brooklyn, Oct 3 —- (AP) - Hal Gregg was ex- plalning in a sad, professional sort oi way w-hat Bill Bevens has on the bull.

"His curve ball breaks lke e. slider," the pitcher was saying as he shaved. "He keeps it outsre and he keeps his fast ball inside. way inside."

Harry Taylor. who put the Dod- gers in a spot in the first inning, lay iace down on a bench. There was hardly anyone in the Dodger dressing room because the big ecl- ebration was expected in the Yank- ee rooms when Bevens came in with a no-hlttcr.

The loudspeaker said Cockle Lavagetto was going to bat for Ed-

die Stanky.

"Yeah, I guess that's all right," someone said.

Then a roar started, growing in

volume, reaching an ear-splitting crescendo. The words. “tying run . . . . .. win-

nlng run" came out oi it. The door burst open and players started running in. screaming and cheer-

ng.

Cookie Lavagetto came pushing m, a wide, intense smile on his face. his black hair falling on his forehead.

Men threw their arms around him and kissed h-m. He couldn't say anything. All he could do was grin the widest and most. complete of all grins.

He was hosted on Ralph Bronco's shoulders, with everyone helping. They bounced him up and down. Manager Burt Shelton kissed him.

"It was a high. fast one, Bnd I thnk it was over the plate. But I'm not sure." Lavagetto said.

He managed to Bet to the tele- phpne and call his wife in Cali- iorna. She gave birth to their first

child last week, a son. Harry Mich- ael Lavagetto, Jr.

After a measure or quiet was re- stored. the Dodgers came up with consdercd, professional opinions on tile day.

“I can never understand why they pass the winning run on base." said Dixie Walker.

It was She-man's daring strategy that made the Yankees do it. -

Al Gionfriddo, running ior Carl Furillo who had earned .a walk, was ordered to steal with two out. It was the fourth steal of the series against Yogi Berra, the Yankee catcher, and it was the most costly of all-

"That's what forced ’em to pass Relser," said Shotton. “They had to put someone on first."

That was the winning run.

Little Vic Lombardi, the Dodger left-handcr, said solemnly:

“I'd like to pitch one-hitters all year. I'd take my chances."

Jacice Robinson expressed sym- pathy for Bcvens.

"He had everything today, I thought. It's unic-rtunate for a guy to losr- u game like that!‘
