Austie Tierney ha: a new one in his stable. It is the year-and-a- iialf-old colt Wayne Budiong. by Calumet Budiong 2.0294. dam. Betty 5 3.07. that will be,reinembered for her victoricus campaigns in the Maritimes some years ago. The youngster is a full brother to P.- E.1. Budiong 2.15. winner of five beats on the Island circuit this season. Ray Keenan is the owner of Wayne Budlong.

Despite the heavy rain and foz. racing was carried on at Yonkers Raceway. N.Y. last Saturday night. and Joe O'Brien came through with a win driving the somewhat erratic pacer Tokyo Express in 2.10 H5. The track was slow and heavy and the announcer said that people could hardly see across it. Notwithstand- ing these conditions 11,000 people were present.

S. Thane Belyea. a very welcome contributor to this column. writes from Fredericton .. . . .”I was up in Woodstock last Thursday and saw a few of the boys. Jirnmle Smith is at the track with twelve l.-cad including cells and aged horses and expects three more to winter. I looked over Free Spirit. Jock Martin. Heinie Strong, Hen- ine Henley and Bonnie 11., also some brcod mares and colts and they were in nice condition. In Robert Hamilton's barn I saw vic- tory Belle, Mae Buxfiong - that has been bred to Abner T. Clegg and was brought back with Henry Dewitt's colt last week. I also saw Bcb Bron-n's horses in Hamilton's barn-Indiana Boy. Chris Mc- Elwyn and Gouvernor Lee. Jo Jo Spencer is in the same barn. These horses had a lot of racing exper- ience this year -- Prince Edward Island. Nova Scotia. New Bruns- wick and the state of Maine.

Henry Dewitt has a mare in his stable called sir Vibrant's Margaret. by sir Vibrant. cut of a Guy Tro- gcn mare. she is six years old and a lot of speed at the trot and Henry. has never been raced but has shongn who is an excellent trainer. is go- ing to give her a chance next year. If she doesn't make good he will use her as a bmod mare as her breed- ing is excellent. Frank McAlduff, formerly of Alberton. will winter the John D. Forbes stable consist- ing of Pat 1).. Miss Eloise. Yankee Girl and a three-year-old. in St. John where he arrived back two weeks ago from racing in Maine.

our good friend Anthony Perry. St. Nicholas. P. E. 1.. writes . .. "Glad to have the information about George Lewis in your col- umn. I met George at Old Home Week, Charlottetown. 1949. and thought he was a swell guy. I en- close some pictures I took at the races I attended the last few years. I never fail to take my camera along when I go to the races. I am Very sorry to hear that you have sold that good trotter Baron 2.11 I always wanted to get a picture of him. I see where you purchased Buddy Clegg. I hope you will have good success with him. I was glad to read about Jce 0'Brien's great work at Lexington. Ky, with Prince Jay and others. I was also glad to see the Island horses racing so well in Maine. I-".J.E. was a smart lit- tle trotter before being sold by George Callbeck of Summerside. and it is certainly pleasing, to learn of the fast mark taken by Donald G R.

Charles Ballard. proprietor of North Side Race Track. North Syd- ney. N.S.. has sent up a panoramic view of his entrance, track and buildings that has impressed us very much. we had never seen it and had no idea that Charlie had spent so much time, money and ef- fort iri its layout and construction. The race track and surrounding land comprises fifty acres, about five acres of it leased from the Cape Breton Farmers Association under a hundred year lease It has 57 stables. a grand stand. judges stand and other appurtenances that go with a first class race plant. 1: cost Mr. Ballard over 335.000 and could not be duplicated tcday for double that amount.

Because of being so commodious it has been the scene of the Cape Eretcn exhibitions for many years A view of the grandstand shows it packed to capacity on one of these race days. Mr. Ballard loves this track and almost every day can be seen fussing around it. No stone on it is too small to catch his eye and be removed. It is kept in what surely can be called "apple pie or- der”. What is worrying Charlie is the fact that he is '79 years old and he wants to be sure that it will get into good hands and be con- tinued in operation as an exhibition and race centre when he gets too old to carry on . . . . Thanks a lo: Charlie. for the photos.

The Standard Bred Horse Sales Company 12th Annual Auction cat- alogue for the sale at Harrisburg arrived a few days ago. This year it is in two parts - Part 1 has horses numbered from 1 to 530 iii- clusive and has 490 pages. Part 2 lists horses 531 to 1205 inclusive and runs to a total of 1280 pages for the two parts. It is the largest har- ness horse catalogue ever issued- over 200 pages more than last year and of course there are more horses listed. We always endeavor to se- cure these catalcgues because there I5 a wealth of information in them On the first pages is the breeding of the sires of the colts that are being sold and these are handy to have for referen :, Then again each listed trotter or pacer has full ped- igree shcwn and a lot of other par- ticulars in regard to it. suppose it is a..yearling. then if it becomes famous one has only to look up the sale catalogue in which it was list- ed and get its full breeding. It must cost a small fortune to pulv- lish these catalogues,

We welcome an inquiry from Billy Connick, Woburn. Mass.. who writes .. "Can you tell me some- thing about Hal Britten? I see where my nephew Don Moc- Donald of Dartmouth. N. S.. was on the Island and bought him for the ice races." Yes, Billy. we can teu you a great deal abcut Hal Britton. He is between 17 and 19 years of age and is a bay gelding by Great Britton 2.02i-l. yle start- ed racing in 1936. In 1938 he took a record of 2.13 trotting and in 194-) he had really arrived. In one of the greatest race meets ever held in this Province. Old Home week. August 13-16. 1940. Hal Britton won the first heat of the Free For All Trot in 2.091;. We can remember it as well as if it were yesterday. when the word G0 was given Jack Maclvfilian took him right to the front and in a masterly drive had him to the wire almost a length ahead of Millie Kalmuck in 2.0951. The next heat was won by Allcway in 2.073;. which was a new IIBCK trotting record.

There was a big kick about it at the time and the starter was criti- cized-as we know unfairly-be- cause Alloway seemed to get away ahead of the other horses. As a matter oi fact Alloway was really

Char1otietown's only senior rug- by tcam. the Abcgweits, will face the supreme test of the season to- morrow afternoon at Glace Bay when they come to grips with the

Caledonia No. ll of that, Cape Breton centre. The game will be a sudden death scmi-final playoff for the right to advance into the finals in McCur:i,v Cup champion- ship competition. . . 0

it will be an all-important game for the local gridsters. For the first time in a number of years they will be making an attempt to regain rccognitlon in Maritime senior ruglby circlcs. a position that mnny island teams have held in p.ist years.

I 0 O

Reorganized this year. and made up molnlyy of former local micr- scholnslic and intercollegiate rug- byists, most of the playcrs arc boys holding down jobs in and about the City. They have been working hard in their spare time to develop a strong squad with the minimum amount of time they have to devote to practice 9:-ssions and exhibition games.

- . -

They are in it for nothing more than the love of the game and have shown a particularly keen desire to make a go of it. A good indication of this is the fact that during the past two weeks or so. they have been turning out reg- ularly for practice at 6:30 in the morning to condition themselves and perfect their teamwork and plays. Previous to that they practised in the evening alter working hours.

' 0

True. they have lost games this season. but they have won games too. But whichever way the re- suits have been. they have always made a good showing and never gave up the fight when the going was toughest. Under ihe capable coaching of Gordon Bennett and Lt. Col. W. J. MacDonald. the team has shown marked improvement as the season has progressed. and many fccl here that they will make a creditable showing at Glace Bay tomorrow.

. . .

Coaches and players of the Abbie squad deserve a lot of cre- dit for their interest in endeavour- ing to put the Province back into Maritime senior competition again. whether they lose or win at Cape Breton tomorrow. If their per- formance meriis them a position in the latter category. it is going to do much to realize those ambitions. whether they get any further in Maritime play or not.

0 O I

Rugby fans and other sporting enthusiasts throughout the island will be wishing them luck and pulling for their success tomor- row, in the hopes that teams from this Province may regain a foot- hold in another phase of Maritime sporting endeavour.

SAINT JOHN. N.'B.. Nov. 9 -- (CP) - The cellarite Moncton Hawks rose to only one point below Saint John Beavers when the Birds edged their hosts 4-3 in a Mari- time Senior Hockey League fixture tonight.

Three ties occurred - 1-1 at the end of the first. 2-2 in the second and 3-3 in the third befcre Dalt Barkweil shot the winner with slightly less than two minutes to go

The second Moncton goal came as the period-ending siren sound- ed. Naturally disputed. it was fin- ally allowed after argument and cfficially scored at the 20-minute mark.

Beavers outplayed the invaders by a decided margin in the first per- iod when Les Coivin had to make 17 steps against four by the Saint John goalie. Dennis Brodeur.

Saint John winger Roger Jcdoin opened the scoring after Blackburn picked up a loose puck inside the Moncton blue line. Barkwell equal- ized from the red line. his easy, lofting shot bcuncing into the nPt

Beavers again went ahead. well along in the middle session, when Nick Nicolle counted from about 20 feet out after Manny Mclntyr-3 passed from the right boards. Jce Delmonte. parked in front of the nct. shot the disputed goal simul- taneously with the siren after tak- ing a pass from Murray Richard- 5011.

Vic Jackson. helped by Ecb Mud- ie. regained the lead for saint John for the last time at 11:33 of the final frame. Less than a minute later Mike Demol-iuk passed to Fred Denny, whose low. hard shot. knot- ting the count again, was screen- ed.

The wholesale "Posting" in an area south of the Hilisboro River where four school districts

are blocked off with "No Hunt- ing" signs, with the exception of some individual farmers who re- fused to ”post" their properties. has resulted from a re-action from an unexpected source . . . not from city residents but from farmers. O O O

A' few mornings ago several groups of goose hunters rigged up blinds and set out imposing "stools" of goose decoys on a farm in the

encral area of Lake Verde and

'Keefe's lake. Approximately 150 geese had been coming to a stirbbie field to feed shortly after day- break. The hunters were all set and when the first large flock hove in sight and started the glide into the decoys a strange thing happened . . . a single bar- rclled shotgun in a nearby woods spoke in warning and the geese flared off. The same thing hap- pened to the next two flocks.

As far as I can learn this hunter was not trying to hit those geese as they were out of range and the incident smacked of premeditation. The remarks of one farmer to whom I talked tended to bear this out: "They've got four districts posted with signs and that should be enough for them. Why do they want to come up here and hunt?" Another farmer of my ac- quaintance talked to me last week. He was quite upset about hunters shooting his "long tails" as he called them. He had a covey of pheasants on his farm and had gotten quite attached to them. He said he thought they were too pretty to shoot. What really burn- mm
