Horsemen's Banquet Held Last Night At Clover Club:

“As time goes by transporta- tion gets better and providing we give harness racing the credit it deserves more pesple will visit Prme Edward Island’. Acting Premier Hon. R. R. Bell told horsemen at a banquet tendered by Frank ‘Duck’ Acorn at the Clover Club last evening. “I also believe’, he continued, ‘“‘that there is not another place in Can- ada or the United States where horse racing is kept so clean.” __. Col. Dan MacKinnon in a few well chosen words, thanked the ladies for, the fine meal. The &4- year-old ‘tiean of harness racing’ also said that ‘‘the sparkplug be- hind all the racing this year was Frank Acorn.”

“On behalf of the horsemen Col. ‘Dan’ presented Mr. Acorn with two handsome gifts, a Browning shotgun and a hunting jacket for his excellent work throughout the year, especially following the fire which destroyed the grandstands.

Main subject. of discussion at a meeting of the horsemen im- mediately following the banquet was the proposal of a Maritime free-for-all circuit which would see a top event held at regular intervals on Maritime tracks:

Frank Acorn, chairing the meeting, read a letter sent in by a mainland horseman which had a list of suggestions pertaining to ‘the success of such a circuit. Questions also were asked and suggestions made by those in at- tendance.

One of the highlights of the meeting was a suggestion by George Gregory, a Charlottetown horse-owner, that Old Home Week

I have had several offers’ to go on hunts that paid off but time was a factor that made me decide to refrain from accepting. sly partner has picked up six lovely geese on four trips out. I had ‘cased’ one field on a Sun- day afternoon and figured it for a sure bet. or as sure as such ,a bet can be, but the Hillsboro Bridge closing at 8.30 a.m. put a crimp in my style.

GOT THE SLIP

My second trip out was pleas- urable even if the geese gave me | the slip. It was a sharp dawning but the rising sun drove the bite out of the air. In the lightening dawn a family of ravens kicked up quite a rumpus in a swamp

behind me. It sounded like they were quarelling over a kill or; choice find. There were 7 in the | flock for they came to give the} goose decoys a look-see at sun- up. I felt quite pleased with my) hide for they scaled over the fence about 20 feet up a few} yards to my left. They: hung over the decoys for a minute or more trying to figure out why geese should remain so motionless and I believe had a notion of trying for a meal. Just to see what would happen I stuck my head \up. I never saw such diving and slide-slipping as the show they put on. They vamoosed out of ranze im seconds. It’s seldom one catches those babies with their landing gear down.

A big red fox. his black brush trailing the ground. trotted home- ward after a night's hunting. Be- fore he entered a swamp he stop- ped every few vards to inves- tigate some enticing scent. It made a pleasant interlude even if he was at 200 yard range. A few minutes before the geese gave me the slip another pair of ravens investigated the decoys closely. They also had ideas of

starting something but eventual- ly moved away. I didn’t want to take a shot at them for fear the geese were on their way. When this cause was removed not a raven made a call. Do you know I verily believe that a family of ravens will attack most anything that moves. Farmers have re- ported loss of lambs from raven attacks. As I picked up the de- coys a pair of Mourning Roves, 274 cut against a blue sky, flew

This northern Utah town was chosen for the fight since it is relatively near both West Jordan, Utah, Fullmer’s hometown, and Pocatello, Idaho, where Webb boxed at Idaho State College.

Also the Utah State University fieldhouse with its seating capa- city of 7,000 was available for the nationally televised scrap start- ing at 11 p.m. AST.

Sales at Newmarket reached,

We've heard a few predictions the $2,940,000 mark early Thurs-|

that the Aces will not be able to cope with either the Royals or Penguins this season, and one) pessimistic gentleman placed the; Summerside entry behind the Saints in his predictions. He was careful to add that this ei was predicted on the condition | that all the rosters would re-| main as is. If ‘Ron MacArthur! joined the Aces after Christmas,

the Ace stock would naturally B0 | up a bit. There is nothing cer- | tain about that, however. Ron was | seriously considering retiring from hockey this year. Whether the start of the season forbidding , him to exchange his pipe and

slippers -for 'a hockey stick and; Summerside colors has stirred | him up to a further desire for this strenuous exercise is a ques- tion.

This boy Freddie Burke looks like the ‘‘rookie of the year’ from where we sit. The Ace kid line of Gaudet, Deighan and Rana- han started with a lot of fanfare last year, but Burke Has ad- ded a bit of thunder by the way he broke into the circuit. The youngster is rangy, but not par- ticularly rugged looking. He seems to be able to look after | himself, however. We saw him | involved in two rhubarbs, one in| the senior league this year and one while playing with the mitid | gets. Im both. cases he seemed, | as the fellow says, to get ther | “fustest with the mostest’’ In) spite of this, he doesn’t appear | to have a chip on his shoulder. | He seems to like playing hoc- key better. Looks like a great prospect if he can manage to grow, a bit more.

FUTURE STAR

Cheer up, Summerside fans. If | we get trimmed this year, bet- ter days are ahead. Wait about | six or seven years and there'll be a fellow by the name of Errol Thompson playing with Summer- | side. This young St. Eleanors | paperweight scored 33 goals in two games, and though under age has been promoted to the Pee | Wees. Trouble is if he keeps up | this terrific pace, he'll be public enemy fio.-1 at an Island hockey league meeting. It might be con- sidered a felony if he is caught with a hockey stick anywhere in

day.

Scoring — Ten-point must sys- tem with winner of the round get- |ting 10 points and the loser nine or less.

Officials—One referee and two judges to be named at ringside.
