On this page will be found an advertisement for Mr. Counter, a pacer with a record of 2.08 and eligible to the 2.18 class, and Lady Locket, with a, mark of 2.06 1-2, eligible to the 2.14 pace. MLCOUXI- '.er looks like a splendid prepost- tion for his class as he is not a worn out horse by any means but young and fresh. Lady Lncket needs no introduction to race- goers, as two years ago she was one of the best pacers in Maine or the Maritime Provinces. Vwhat we nced in this Province is more last horses so as to keep the racing game humming in the good old summer time. New horses ‘make new friends and keep up the iii- lerest.

Maritime thorsemen will learn with regret that Wendell Wathan is in a, Maine hospital being treat- ed forlspinai trouble. Although less than twenty-five years of age. WendAll has had marked success in dflving. his father's trotters and paciru. and last season was the leading driver in the Potato State.

Hanover shoe stores all over the United States are the retail out- lets for the great Sheppard 8r. Myres Factory at Hanover, Pa. nqr where are bred the famous Ha ver brand trotters and pac- ers which have been such success- iu winners this season, including

an Hanover (3) 1.58, world's champion three-year-old trotter.

‘ibown in Australia it is the flaring season and we learn that it is coming along rapidly and very shortly racing will begin. Lately tiptters and pacers are having a great vogue irrthe Antipodes. At Melbourne the track has been completely wired for electric lights. and last September there was a race meet. of sixteen events which had 185 entries.

It looks as though the i936 list of standard performers, pacing and trotting, will far outdistanee any previous year. The season's record and world's record perfor- mers number 18. which is probably more than any previous year.

F. J. E. Wright, Secretary of the Prince Edward Island Harness Racing Club. has sent out a not.- ice to breeders which states that the colts for the 1938 two, three. and iour-year-old futurlty races must. be nominated on or before November 1st, 1937, when they will be required to be nominated giv- ing sex, sire. dam, color and markings, with conditions of pay- merits.

The notice also states that. at the last annual meeting it was decided that the colts for the 1939 two-year-old futurity would alsoi require to be nominated on the first day of November, 1937. with particulars given. Owners havinfi‘ well-bred eligible colts and fillies

Wright; as these futurities are be- coming each year more valuable and exciting greater. interest.

Some of the best racing of the season was held over Coshocton, Ohio, half-mile track two weeks ago, the free for all being a par- ticularly flne race. Among the starters was Miss l-lofi 2.01 1-4. who set up a new track record oi 2.03 by winning the first heat. She also won the second heat in 2.04. then Peter-at-Law won the third heat in 2.05. Doctor H. 1.59 3-4. the favorite, should have won the first heat but was handicapped because another horse stepped on_ his tire, cutting it, letting the air out and making a heavy drag.

Zenith 2.01. that had two weeks before set up a. new track record of 2.04 3-4 at Hillsdaie, Michigan. was not up to previous form. He is a tough sort of horse that re- quires a race every week. Just ‘to give an idea. of what a good horse he is 1 may say that during the month of September he won three races in nine days in three differ- ent states, Mlnnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin, and four of his heats ranged between 2.01 l-2 and 2.04 1-2. The track trotting record was also lowered during the meeting, Advisor putting it at 2.05, which is a wonderful performance over a half-mile track.

John E. Kelly oi Bangor, Maine. is sending Marilee Hanover t. 2.00 1-4, p. 2.02 3-4; Maude Hanover (3) 2.14 1-2; and Vesta Hanover (2) 2.05 I-2. to the Old Glory Sale. He will likely be a purchaser oi yearlings. /

Peter Volo 1.02, (now dead) ad- dedto his list of two minute trot- tcrs this season the iour-year-old Peter Song. His list in the charm- ed circle numbers eight, including

l-Ianoverb Bertha (3) 1.59 1-2; Charlotte Hanover (3) 1.59 l-2; Miss Bertha. Hanover (4) 2.00;

Protector (3) 1.59 1-4; The Mar- chioness (3) 1.50 1-4; and two pacers. Cold dash 1.58 1-2 and Raider 1.59 1-2. He is the world's greatest sire oi two-minute speed.

Miss Budiong (3) 2.06%. daugh- ter oi Calumet Budlong 2.02%, owned by Prank McKay, East Roy- alty, has raced very luccessfuily this season, her latest success be- ing ot Belleiontaine, Ohio, where cho won from a good field for trainer Smart. It is understood that parties in Ohio are negotiat- ing for the purchase of Calumet Budlong and his return to Ohio. It is hoped. however, that Mr. McKay will retain him here.

November. It is said that. this year's crop is the finest.’ for many years.

Grey is an uncommon color with race horses, either thoroughbred or harness, and it is 92 years since a grey trotter held the world's rec- ord. We must go back to Lady Suffolk 2.29 i-2, "the old grey mare of Long Island." who on October 13th, 1846, at Hoboken, N. J., inaugurated what was to be- come the standard list by trotting in 2.20 1-2. That was almost a century ago and throughout that long period no other horse of the some color has ever worn the crown until Greyhound stepped in 1.50 at Lexington a few weeks ago.

When we turn to the thmough- breds we find that of some 108 different American horses that have each won 0100.000 or more, not one is a grey. The largest amount won by l. grey galloper is $79,885, won by Silver Pbicwbereu the bay thoroughbred Sun Bow has won $970,744. and other colors, chestnut and brown, have reproa- entotives that won over 9300.000, while the record for a black thor-

(By John LeBlanc) (Canadian Press Staff Writer) MONTREAL. Oct. 22—The hold-

r , eran of the

front line, de- mand better contracts. That was news item No. 1 today from the camp of the National Hockey Lea- guers. The fact that the other H a b i t a n ts skated out for the first lee workout of the - season had to‘ l 9 the | 0L F55.’ .7;'°°“" S“ l: . disclosure of opgle trouble in the contract line. 1 e Babe and the midget left. wnger had been abscntees from Canadiens’ Laurentian Mountains ‘Famine camp. but it wasn't until today that club officials came right out w th it and admitted they were hcldouts. But even with the admis- sion, Manager Cecii Han; tacked on *1 110116011 postscript m the effect that both probably would be back with the club "ln a few days." Counted Upon "For Canadiens have been figur- ing on them both in pre-season calculations. The etiperts have been ticketing Aurel for hoekey's ash can these last sev- eral years, but Hart said to- day his 135- pounder has at least one more good year in his tiny sys- tem. And as for the hefty- Siebert, who “washed as (they a year ago, he was good enough last season to earn a defence spot on th: C a n a d i a n.

SIEBERT

Press All- Star team.

Aurel stayed away from the

ed up. He wanted to get into act- ion. but was told he couldn't until he signed up. So out he went along the sidelines to watch his mates of last year, to acknowledge the rail- blros’ greetings and to chat with Cecil Hart while the manager hand- led the whistle in a game between two squads.

The Siebert trouble is that he and the Hobitant directors can't see eye to eye on the question of whether he's earned a raise, The 200 pound defenceman figures he has, on the basis of his admitted performance as the team's mainstay last year. .

"But they didn't offer me an ex- tra dime this year," he complained. "I think I'm worth more, so I didn't sign." Babe said he hadn't asked for an-y specific raise. "I just wanted to see how much more they'd offer me."

Referred to Calder

But by club officials it was in- dicated there wouldn't be another offer. An executive said the cases of Siebert and Joliat had been handed over to the League Presl- dent Frank Calder and that the club would sit tight.

In the dressing room after the workout, Hart opined it was "too bad" about his best defenceman and the veteran whom he has been counting on for his 15th year in the N. 1-1. L. "But they'll be with us soon," he said. “You couldn't keep those fellows away from the ice.

The Canadien mentor was pleas- ed with other piayers‘ form on their first ice day. “Hard to tell from one look how they'll stack up," he conceded. “but they looked good, especially the regulars."

For the drill. Cec had formed two teams from a dozen or so regulars and a few fiom-Canadiens‘ Inter- national-Amerlcan farm team at Providence. The "Reds" had Wilf Cude in goal, Bill McKenzie and Buswell on ‘defence and Paul Haynes at centre flanked by Johnny Gag-non and Toe’ Blake, all last season regulars.

Life, evidently, is just one hold- out after another for Hooiey Smith. The veteran centreman failed to come to terms last year with Montreal Maroons and wound up wearing a Boston Bruin sweat- er. Now the Hooligans at is again and is the only player un- sigmd on the Boston squad.

Murray Murdock never will equal in hockey the record of 1,985 con- secutive games set up by the New ‘ York Yankees‘ Lou Gehrig in jbaseball. But when hockeybshort- [er schedule and the tougherphysi- cal aspects of the game are con- sidered, Murdoch's record looks pretty good.

jinx. The burly Toronto Maple . Leafs‘ right winger was out for I good many weeks last year when he broke his wrist at the start of the season. . Yesterday he crashed to the ice at the end of a netward dash and injured his shoulder. Manager Connie Smythe and Coach Dick Irvin hope it won't tum out to he as bad as last year's injury.
