Two enterprising young men of Rustlco. Amos and Alyre Gallant, have renovated the old Cyrnbria track and are putting it in first class shape for racing. They have applied for membership for Park View Track in the United States Trotting Association and as soon as authority has been received will advertise their rues for the first available ddte. either August 25th or September 1st.

Two experts that have put in over e hundred years in training and racing trotters are Ben White. noted race driver and trainer of two and three-year-olds, who is 74, and his assistant Guy Hensley who is 58 years old. They are getting ready for the Grand Cir- cuit meet at Goehen track next week. They have their sights trolled on the Hambletnnian stake. the world's richest trotting stake for three-year-olda. and their hopes are pinned on Mad- ison Hanover, that has shown up well.ln training.

Homes: racing is going over big 1n Montreal. Every week crowds are getting larger and the ntsn- agement is certainly putting on excellent programs with large fields of trotten and psceru.

Knights Defeat Kinsmen, Hopes Alive

Keep Playoff

“Fat." Connors’ hustling band of K. of C. juniors upset the Junior League applecart last night at the Memorial Field diamond by a score of 3-2 and in doing so kept their playoff hopes alive.

The winners fighting all the way pounded the offerings of Lnc Kinsmen hurier for five hits tne hardest of which was "Beau Jack" Mat-Donald's long single into right field which accounted for two runs. All the scoring was confin- ed to two innings. the second and the fourth. In the second inning the Knights jumped on Currie for three hits and these coupled with two errors and a pair of fielder's choices accounted for three runs. The winners loaded the bases on two hits and a field- er's choice to set the stage for MacDonald's long wallop. Thcy kept the rally going as Pryor was safe on a fielders choice and lat- er scored with the winning 111:1 as Nicholson was safe on another Kinsmen error.

The losers fighting back came within one run of tying up tnc game as they scored two runs m the fourth inning on a double, an infield-out, an error and a wad pitch by MacKenzle. In the last inning they put. two players or. base with two out but. Waiiie Shepherd playing in the left field outer garden made a beautift.‘ catch on Rossitens line drive to make the final out. of the game.

Sorrel thatched Merlin MacKen- zée, the winner's ace righthander pitched a beautiful two-hit ball game and was backed up by brit- iiant. fielding by his teammates. The slim hurler was in trouble only in the fourth inning when the Kinsmen touched his offer- ings for two runs. MacKenzie struck out. eight batters and walk- ed but two others. Frankie Curr... on the mound for the losers pitch- ed a good brand of ball allowing Lut five hits but costly errors resulted in the winning run being scored against him.

Brian Lewis. sturdy centre fielder of the Kinsmen hit a. doub- le in the fourth inning to account for the longest hit of the game.

Three nice plays were turned in ry the Knights one of which was C. MacDonald's lovely one hand staib of Stuii's vicious grounder that seemed destined for a. but. hit. Bill MacNell playing in right field for the Knights made an- other nice catch in the last inn- ing off Lewis’ hard drivefi
