‘lllie wealthy Indian potcntate, second leading money winner hen: last season, also is closing down his El-m Stable, Warren Place, at New- miirket. It ls the ritzlest barn in Britain.

But his trainer. Fred Armstrong, denied a. published report that the Gaekwar was reducing his turf holdings because of his Indian critics.

"It is not the Gaekwai-‘s intent- ion to reduce his tut-f com-ant» mums," Armstrong said. "lie only wants the best horses.“

The Gaekwar started the 1943 season with 25 horses but had about three dozen at the finish. Th.» stable star was My Beau, winner of the 2,000 Guineas classic. lie helped boost the Gaekwafs purses for the year to $159,120. second only to the Aga Khan's $185,572.

SYDNEY, N. 8., Jan. 11 — (CP) - Sydney Millionaires regained their 11-point lead in the Cape Breton Senior Hockey League to- night by blanking Glace Bay Miners 4-0 before 2.255 spectators. The shutout was the first this season for Sydney goalkeeper Jack Gibson, who turned in an out- standing performance. Although Mlllionaires outshot Glace Bay 38-19, the largest percentage of Gibson's stops hall to be made on point-blank shots from Miner wings who cruised into the clear. Bernie MacDonald bagged the opener in the first period when he broke through the Miner dc- fence to beat Ed Dztoust with a high flip shot. Johnny Arundel set the play off wvlth a blucline- to-blueline pass.

Millionaires itiird attacking string again turned the trick in a close- checking and at times ragged second period. Bruce Gallagher pulled the trigger from close in after tapping down a knee-high pass front Cliff Roach. MacDonald started the play off after break- ing a Glace Bay passing play in- side the Sydney blueline.

Patti Platz boosted it to 3-0 at 2.44 in the third period, banging home Don McRaels rebound. Mc- Rae made the third score possible after feeling his way the length of the ice. Alec Biruknw finished it at 19.30 with Glace Bay's Bill Callzottti sitting out a hooking tieiialiy.

A brief but torrid fistic exchange midway through the period drcw Sydney's Bruce Gallagher and Glace Bay's Jim Mosienko five minutes in the hooscgntv. High-stinking and elbowing pre- dominated in the fast but very close-dieckittg till.
