Lew Smith, enterprising promoter from New York, is a man with R mission. He ls indulging the theory at considerable length that Canada harbors a heavyweight of suillolfllll‘ voltage on and ofl the hoof to Wlfl the heavyweight title. With this idea. ir. view he is going to conduct an all Canadian heavyweight tourney in Montreal, at King's Park, a race track devoted to the improving of the breed and the betterment oi horses oi the ill»: that cavort on half-mile courses.

Mr. Smith would like to get R French-Canadian heavyweight of so! iiclent courage, strength and speed to carry oil the crown. He waxed film? eloquent on the subject the other daY to Dr. Elmer Ferguson, and this oper- ative, on the prospects. "There must be someone in the Gatineau Hills who ls perhaps destined to be a Worldi)’ cilampion.

GOOD REASON FOR RAGE

I-le fries them in the grease in his “Pick and Shovel,” col- umn in the Toronto Star, and when aroused Lou swings a heavy mallet. There are, of course, some who can- not recognize merit when they see it, who have a. dyspeptic outlook 0n life. and who are so jaundiced that even the obvious seems unnaturaL That) there could be an arrangement by which Williams would be given the benefit‘!!! easy races by some of the super star amateur runners oi Am- erica is so laughable as to be 8T0- lasque.

Notwithstanding the fact that the wrestling game has as many knockers as hairs in an ihklmos tuxedo, the sport seems to go merrily on and the wrestling gentry seem to survive.

In fact a lot of the catch-as-catch canners amassed sizable fortunes on the mat and any number of second- rate grapplcrs who have hairy chests and bulging biceps are garnering a much better livelihood out of the rac- ket than they would it they decided to take a job as a snow shoveler in Florida or California. This would lead the layman to believe that there are still quite a few fans scattered a- bout who take their wrestling ser- iously, Why the anvil chorus should concentrate so much on wrestling has never been fully brought out. Other sports are subject to the hammer tos- sers from time to time, but wrestling seems to be an all-year-round tar- get for the boys who like to holler "irameup."

Every so often, despite the knocks, something happens in the wrestling ranks which demands attention. Just recently a college-bred heavy- weight grapplcr half-Nemoned nls way into prominence by upsetting the king of the herd, Ed "Strangler" Lew- is. thereby gaining for himself the title of heavyweight wrestling champ

Gus Sonncnburg, who was a foot- ball tackle at Dartmouth for one year and at the University of Detroit for ‘three, was the fellow who unseated Lewis from the throne that he's been occupying pretty regularly over a. long string of years. Gus pulled the crown off ‘the "Stranglers" brow in their second meeting, which was stag- ed in Boston early in January. Son- nenburg had taken the first fall with his famous “flying tackle".—- which sounds like something held over from football-days-in 29 minutes and 46 seconds. Coming in for the sec- ond fall he tried the same tactics on the “Strangler“ and ibutted the Kan- sas City fellow seven times in rapid succession, forcing the champion to fall or crawl outside the ropes to es- cape punishment. Each time be sought safety he was ordered to re- turn by Roferce Leon Burnak and when he failed to crawl back after the seventh butt he was counted out oi his title.

Gus may be a "flash in the pan," or he may be the real goods. Time will tcll. He weighs about 200 pounds. al- though hc is only 5 feel; 6 inches tall. He depends almost entirely upon his regular football tackle in all 0i his bouts. and had Lewis grolsl’ in their first match. when the champion side- stepped one oi Sonnenburgs rushes

The third winter meet of the Ken- slngton Racing Club took place on Long River ice on Tuesday, Feb, 19th in the presence of a large number of spectators, many of whom came from Summerside in motor cars.

Three classes were run, viz., three nunute, 2.50 class and 2.40 class. The racing was keen and evenly contest- ed. The time made continues to im- prove with each successive race. Both time and distance are measured cor- rectly, nothing "pboney" about either. It is theoretically possible to. reduce the time performance to a anty with Charlottetown and the ain- land. Tho bright particular star of the meet was the Laoopia pacing mare Jacqueline, owned by ‘Harold Mulaliy. Karlsington. This more has advanc- ed from the kindergarten to the class of real performers in two meets, she is expected by the "oroolea" of roo- lng to negotiate distance much inst- er before tho louon ends.

The attendance at the ice races held on the ice, opposite Victoria Park yesterday afternoon was small, due, no doubt, to the extremely cold weather. The thermometer hovered around six to eight above and the cutting wind intensified the cold. The races were not as evenly contest- ed as‘ usual, with the exception of Class A Trot, which fumished real thrilling finishes, so close that it was difficult for the judges to arrive at a. decision. i ' CLASS A T501‘

In the first heat, there was a lot of scoring, but finally they got away with Johnnie Walker in front, Bin- gen Aubrey at his pad and Briar Mac and Captain Jackson quite s. piece in the rear. The Captain made a break and finished fourth. Johnnie Walker, a four year old that has astonished all-by the quick manner in which he, has some to his speed, (var beaten only an eyelash by Blngen Aubrey, in the fastest heat of the afternoon.

Second HeaiF-A lot more scoring and finally they got off on even terms. Johnnie Walker and Blngen, Aubrey both broke early in the heat,| Johnnie making the worst break 01' the two. Jackson and Briar Mac bat- tled through to a real good finish, Brlar having a head and neck to the good. Time thirty-two seconds.

Third Heat-There was a perfect send off, but unfortunately Johnnie made another break and that but! him out oi it. Jackson and Briary Mac were racing with about half a length between them. until the last twenty yards when Bingen Aubrey just half a length back. In the last few strides Jackson shot up on al- most even terms with Briar Mac, with Aubrey right at his pad. This was a
