This mare was sired by ott. 2.09% and was for- wired by W. B. MacArthur, ,»,g.on. She is a beautiful ani- ii uil of trot and should take a reco.d of 2.10 or better. as she has gpceti and the ability to carry it.

The writer remembers when she was trained on the trot at Charlottetown seeing her step a mile in 2.15 with the last half in 1.06.

He is also owned by Chin-lea Gregor, who gives him the best ot care and is quite proud to have the old warrior in his stable.

Petcr Frisco and Lady Frisco are owned by Mel Jay, York. The for- nlcr has been a contender in many pacing races for several winters. He altars gives a good account of him- sclf and is a crowd pleaser. Lady Frisco is a five-yesr-old and will make her real debut this season.

PHILADELPHIA D60. 20—(AP)— Connie Mack bought his own birth- day present today-three days a- head or time-by alcquirln finan- ilsiai control of Philadelpha Ath- CUBS.

Baseball's grand old man, who Will observe his 78th birthday Mon- day. announced that stock -pur- chased frclm Mrs. Ethel M. Shlbe Klveahllm a raajorit interest in the American league clu he has man- aged for 40 years. The price of cite block of 141 shares was not closed, but the stock was valued at $300 a share in 198B.

Mack said the purchase "doesn't mean there will be any changes in policy or personnel," and added "al- though I‘m possessed with the pow- er, you can be assured I'll never use it.“

The veteran manager previously owned a half intern‘. in the club. The other half originally was own- ed by Benjamin Shibe. Mack's part- ner when the club was organizcd.

It. is encouraging to hear of breeders like Mr. Bowers because it means that the future of harness racing in the Maritime Provlncas is assured because of the production of quality race horses for the years ahead.

We had the pleasure of a visit from ‘Tyndall Semple, Kensington, well known blacksmith and top reinsman. Last season Tyndall tied with Joe O'Brien for the Macdon- old Brian Trophy for the leading driver at Old Home Week races. His racing was not confined to this Province alone and he took part lll several meetings in Nova Scotla. where the horses he drove always acquitted themselves crcditnbly be- ing either first or contenders in every heat. There are few men in Canadn who have had more experi- ence or more success in brvaszcing horses than our friend Tyndall. '

Harry K. McKenney, noted start- er, has the following to say re starting horses: "There is rarely any trouble in getting fields .'l\v1_v provided the horses arc handled by capable drivers." He says, however. that on the half-mile circuits there are too many inexperienced reins.- men. In fact, he says some of them should never be allowed on the track

Jim Butler of Lewistoti, on the other hand is an ardent convert of the Barrier system of starting har- ness lrorses. We quote Mr. Billie: "I will say I saw the Barri in operation at more mcctitlgs tlinll any of the critics and I have btcn a harnem race fan for ntcrc " 40 years. The starting scoring . .s tern used for years past has bent detrimental to the sport for the reason that the horses may be scored sometimes 16 or more trmes before they get the word Go You see the drivers sparring to kill oll a favorite horse by excessive scoring It, reminds me of a football g‘mc where every man is instructed to knock off the star player on the opposing team " Mr Butler then goes on to explain the proper method of carrying out starting with the Barrier and predicts tha: within the next two years 90 per- cent of the fairs and race meetings in the United States and Canada will prefer to use the Barrier.

G. Blondin Thomas, pupil of the late Ed. Geers, has steeped up a bit higher on the ladder of life and is now a rnce truck manager, having signed a lense for ten years that he will train horses and nro- mnte races over the "8583101119- Quebec, track. l-lis inltln‘ vcntvirs will be staged on June 25th. 15141. and buildings and truck will be thoroughly gone over and DlllC-"ddll tip top shape bv Mr. Thomas D119!‘ to the event.

NEW YORK. Dec. 20—(AP)—A hitch developed today in the con- tract of Billy Conn and Joe Louis for a heavyweight title bout next sununer when Johnny Ray, man-

ager of Ccnn. objected to the 90- day return-match clause. The clause called for Conn to

give Louis a return bout within 90 days i1 he dcthrones the champion. Ray, hcwsver, took the contract ivltit him and said he wculd see promotcr Mike Jacobs later.

We lzaci almost forgotten to men- tion that Christmas afternoon should be quite lively on Great Georg-e Street, as we believe it is the intention of our horsemen to show up their beautiful steeds hook- ed to sleigh and as in the past en- gage in some friendly bouts. We hope the Mayor and Chief of Po- lice Birtwhistle will see that they get protection from cars so as to avert lltt-ldents. Racing on Great George Street Christmas and New Ycnrls Day has been a custom as long as we can remember. In fact we have a very lively recollection of taking a strenuous part in it on New Year's Day, i913

We had six horses in our stable all harnesi-"sd and rcupy ior lh. Illll. and two ‘speed sleiglits. As fast as we would bring one in the boys would have another one ready to go out. In one heat we had the misfortune to collide with a wood sleigh and after taking a trip to the clouds— or so it seemed — landed up to our waist in a. snow- bank, from which we were extricat- ed by good friends and take-i a- round to the sI-able The speed sleigh which weighed only about 70 pounds was smashed to bits and the horse, Iona Girl. nowhere to be seen. Five minutes later we were tearing up from Worthyh comer with Dominion D. neck and neck with Mayor Todd, driven by the ‘late Hammond Kelly. Iona Girl was caught crossing the Hilisboro Bridge and brought back to the stable. so everything passed off pleasantly and we added very coil- siderably to the excitement of the afternoon.
