Saturday night September 17 will he a big night in local boxing annals tn Summerside when the Canadian Legion bouts staged in connection with their mammoth t-ni-ttival which has been running all week will be staged. Jim Ho- gan. promoting the meet for the Legion, has lined up what he thinks is a top notch card of fighters with the opening bout bct\vccn Slugger DeCoste and Ar- nold MacAusland, two boys who have so fnr shown considerable fis- tic ability.

The opener is followed by an- other three-round bout between George Grady and Austin Square- hriggs, which is billed as an ex- hibition bout. Watch that one.

Bud Lund and Harry Poulton follow with a three-round exhibi- tion bout which should show plenty of action and then for com- edy in four rounds there will be plenty of it in the blindfold fight between Allison Arsenault and Killer Gallant.

The semi-finals between Eugene Pendcrgast, son of P. E, Island's old time favorite Big Jim. and Em- mett Gallant brings together two rugged hoys who bid fair to go far up the ladder of Sistiana.

There seems to be plenty of ex- citement in the \Vestern Capital over the big event on Saturday's card, the bout between Kid Mur- ray and Big Boy Peterson, and although it will be a decision fight the crown of the Big Boy is not at stake. Both fighters have appar- ently n host of supporters who will no doubt be on hand to back their favorite and the main event will assuredly draw a full house.-—S.

Despite the fact that unfavour- able weather conditions caused the postponement of yesterday's af- ternoon and evening racing pro- grams in the second ‘day of the

Goodwill meet. racing fans will not lose out on any of the fine racing scheduled. when. providing weather conditions permit, the two big programs will be run off Q- day for their racing pleasure.

I

Although many fans who were all ready to take in yesterday's,“ meef were probably a bit disap- pointed when a steady rain which 1 began shortly after noon washed, out all hopes of running the meet. , the postponement will probably: only tend to make them that much i kcener to attend today, and judg- l int: from the fine list of entries‘ scheduled for both the afternoon. and evening meets. they will soon forget any previous disappoinb. ment when the horses lineup to}

take the word. o

‘The Thursday postponement, of course. also necessitates the hold- ing over of the Futurity Meet which was originally scheduled for today, Friday. but as far as can be learned now. plans are be- ing made to hold them on either Saturday afternoon or evening, so that fans will lose nothing in the long run, despite the interference of Old Man Weather. In many cases Saturday will probably be a more suitable day for many than the former date, which should tend tn increase the attendance if any- thing. and give more people a chance to enjoy the entertain-

merit.

Wes "Bucko" Trainer, one of the Provinces most outstanding hockey players of the present age and the Island's only representa- tive in the National Hockey Lea- gue in recent years. will leave for Lake Placid, New York State ‘to- morrow afternoon where he will re-join ilic New York Rangers Hockey Club to commence train- ing for the opening of the NHL. next month. Bucko stated last night that he expects to hit the ice for the first time on October 20th. -

"Bucko" who hit the “big time" hockey circuit late last season when he was brought up from the Ranger farm team, the Saint Paul Saints of the American Pro! fessional Hockey League, to per- form with the regular club, and held his own with the best of them during that time, has been home all summer where he was with the staff of the Provincial Depart-

ment of Physical Fitness: O I S

During his employment with the Department, Bucko was in the thick of local sporting activities all summer, and although moat of his work was mainly with the kids in organizing the minor baseball leagues, and he made a fine job of it too. nothing was too small for him to take on, and many times he could be found out at. Memorial Field or some such place. wielding a hammer or do- ing many such other small tasks which needed in be done in the interests of sport,

O I I

There is no doubt that his pre- sence will be missed at the De- partment. both as a conscientious worker and a swell guy. but as the old saying goes “what is one man's loss is another‘; gain" and there is nary a one among us who know him that won't be wishing him every success for the future and ready to welcome him back again next summer after what is hoped will be the big lesson of his hockey career.

While on the subject of the N. HL. the big league is scheduled to get underway this year on Octo- h~r 12th. earliest opening date on record, and will extend over a period of 24 weeks due to the new
