George Loomls from the late George Hsndrahan of this city, who had a horse racing in the Looanls stable through the State of Washington right. up into Western Canada. Mr. Handrahan, who was one of the best caretak- ers ln the business. told me many things about I.oomls' -method of training that were helpful.

In 1946 Mrs. James Johnston, Jr., the former Miss Frances Dodge. heiress to some of the Dodge motor car millions, psid 350,000 to Charles Piiellis of Greenwich. Conn. for a two-yes.r- old trotter. Hoot Mon. after which a lot of smart people decided that Mrs. Johnstn was a sort of pre- Christmas Santa Claus for Phellis. "He is .a nice horse. he will do things," was Mrs. Johnston's re- joinder. "I got a. bargain. really.” As I. three-year-old in 1947 I-loot Mon was a sensation. He trotted to a 2.00 mile and won the most important of the three-year-old stakes including the Harnbletonian and the Kentucky Futurity. His earnings that year were 566,810. Hoot Mon raced again in 1948 and was the best 4-year-old trotter in the United States. After that be was placed in the stud and today he is one of the futurity sires. "Folks." commented Mrs. John- ston. "thought I was all wrong when I paid out 550,000 for Hoot Mon, but Hoot Mon fooled them."

The former Miss Friuwes Dodge also bought Victory song as atwo- year-old and he became one of the greatest trotters in the U.S.A. and took a record of l.57v. and is in the stud. However, to keep the story absolutely right it must be mentioned that her attention was directed to both the above horses

Jim is very interested in pro- moting the Borden Swim. and feels that it would be a grsa.tpub- uclty stunt. "They are strong for it in Su.mmerside." states Jim. "and I trust other parts! of the Maritlmes and sports writers will help it alorig."....'I'ha.nks. Jim. and we quite agree with what you say about the potential speed that is available in Prince County. Some of the greatest. trotiers and pacer: of the past have come from there and their blood lines crossed with the stallions now available. should turn out a galaxy of stars. Jerry's Nightmare 2.00. three-yeah old Maritime record. is Just an in- stance of what can happen.

The many friends of George A. Callbeck, Manager Canadian Na- tional Silver Fox Breeders Asso- ciation and noted horse breeder. trainer and driver, will be glad to learn that he has returned home from hospital in Montreal much improved. and we hope to see him around in his usual good health in the near future. George. will be glad when he reads the following, which appeared in part in Edwin T. Keller's harness horse column this week:-"The third top win- ning performer from down cast was the three-year-old Pacer Ad- vocate 2.08 3z5. bred. owned and trained by Sam Pitts of Harrison. Maine. proprietor of Narrow Gauge Fami. where the colt's sire, Volo H. 2.02V,. is the premier sire. He is a full brother to the very suc- cessful sire Mighty H. 2.04, both bred, trained and raced by the Wathens. Stan and Wendell of Fort Fairfleld, Maine. Advocate was the winner of 14 victories and was third or better no less than 21 times."

Advocates dam is Ann Royal 2.10 Us by Abner T. Clegg 2.04y,, granddam Janet Bud by Calumet Bud-10118 2.02m, great-granddam. Jeanette Royal 2.0-11,1, by Gratian Royal 2.06'-1. She was bred and raced successfully by Mr. Cailbeck, who sold her for a long price to Arthur B. McGee. Augusta. Maine. What racing history flows in the veins of Advocatel Just hark back to 1931 and the Charlottetown race track Exhibition week. You would have been thrilled to see Volo H.'s dam. Eula H., winning the Free For All Pace and setting up a new track pacing record of 2.08. Then if you look back at Advocate's great-graiiddam Jean- ette Royal. she was one of the toughest pscers ever raced through the New England States and for a time was co-holder of the Freder- lcton track record of 2.04V,. Her

subsequent history as a brood mare in this province is well known.

Aintrce To Have Auto Racing Track

tree. home of the world's most famouslsteelplechase. is to have a

Zl00.000 auto-racing track built around It. Mrs. Mlrabel D. Topbam, chair-

man of the controlling company. said the move was a "dire necess- ity" because horse-race meetings did not cover high costs of opera- tion.

"Aintree is an expensive child." explained Mrs. Topham. "and it is idle for a large part of the year. I had to look around for some other sport that would keep it busy in the summer."

The auto circuit will surround the horse track and is expected to be opened by May 20. It will be 15 feet wide and three miles long with speeds of l50 miles an hour pos- sible on the straight stretches.

Aintree accommodates 200,000 spectators.

hopeful of James "Jlggy" Arbing's recovery from a recent severe heart attack, were greatly shocked to learn of his passing last Tues- day. He had been up and around and out for a drive and friends who had called went away feeling that he would be out again wat- ching the racing as in other years. "Jiggy" had loved horses all his life and was racing horsu before World War 1. He was a splendid fitter and took a great amount of care and trouble to put his borsu in condition. For quite a number of years he drove horses and won his share of victories, but in the last few years he just attended to their peparation and training. His knowledge of the sport made him much sought after as an official in the judges' stand at different meets and he was always an oc- cupant of that position at the Charlottetown Raceway in recent years. Of a happy disposition with an excellent memory and an abundance of Jokes. he was good company and was sought after by many. His passing will leave a void in harness horse ranks that will be very much felt. To his loving wife and family we, on be- half of ourselves and Maritime horsemen. extend our deepest sympathy.

The Week at S.D.U. 1

Last Thursday morning Allan MacDonald and Richard Wedge left by plane for Ottawa where they represented Bt. Dunstan's last night in the semi-finals for the Dominion intercollegiate de- bating crown. Although the boys did not know when they left who their opponents would be or what side of the resolution they would be upholding. they were prepared to meet the best in the capital city. Accompanying the boyson the trip are Rev. F. L. Cass and Mr. Brendon O'Grady. who did such a splendid job of coaching our de- baters to a Maritime c1ian:.pion- ship. In the event of a win for Allan and Dick last night they will meet the other semi-final wiri- ner, , ibly tonight, for the Do-

Last Saturday night. in one ofl the best games ever played in thei gymnasium. our basketbau teanil won the NB.-P.E.I. intercollegiate crown by downing the University of New Brunswick 52-40. The Red and White team led 12-6 at that end of the first quarter. but were outscored during the second stanza and ended the half with a slim two point lead. 23-21. During the third quarter the teams basket for basket till the minutes when the Saints three quick baskets to end quarter leading 41-36. In the final frame the U.N.B. team put on a detennlned drive but were unable to keep pace with the well bal-l anced St. Dunstan's team andl were outscored 11-4 in this I-anto.l Playing coach. Jack Reardon. led his team to victory with a 20 point performance. while Johnny Taylor and Frank slowey. who were run- ners-up came through with and 10 points. respectively. other S.D.U. point getter: Gus Dorais with 8 points Bob Mooney with 3 .

The team left for Antigonisb yesterday and will meet st. Fran- cis Xavier University in the first game of a two game total point series. for the Maritime basket- ball crown.

our hockey team downed Charlottetown Abbies 8 - 2 Tuesday night in a City Hockey League semi-final tilt at the forum. By virtue of this win the saints are now in the finals and will meet either P.W.C. or the " aide Aces sometime next week. The game last Tuesday was one of the better games of the season and produced some excel- lent hockey, especially on the part of the Saints. who were at their best form of the year. Goalie Wil- fred Glllls kept the Abbies at bay during the opening trams while

scoring for the Saints. In the mad- dle session each team scored goal with Roy doing the honors for St. Dunstan's. The determined st. Dumtan's team increased their lead to five goals during the early minutes of the final frame on goals by Lloyd Gaudet and Germain Lemieux. It looked as if the game would end with this scorenbut the Abbies kept trying and were rewarded with their second goal with one second of play remain- ing.

We believe history was made March i when the first handball game of the year was played. Al- though this game is strictly one for spring and fall a few loyal participants ahovelled the snow off the alleys a few days ago with the result that they were in good shape for playing on last Mon- day. Three of the faculty members. Frs. W. Simpson, 0. Sharkey and J. Kelly, were out to try their skill the other day. but were given bad beatings by a couple of amateurs. which shows that old age gets the best of us.

One week from today we begin our mid-term cigams. Although they are only short exams. they serve the purpose of showing us just how much we have gotten out of our studies since Christmas. we write one-half of the exams Sat- urday. and the other half the fol- lowing Monday. so if we full to brln you "The Week" next satur- dsy. it will be because we are busy putting our knowledge down on paper.
