The Old Home Week racing pro- gram certainly got away to an aus- picious start yesterda afternoon with that fine card o racing that was iun off. And a: is usual in this much-looked for annual event in the racing tvorld upsets played a major role.

Here the real beareats will battle for top honors and although have been installed they It.i.'e tough struggles all the way if they are to come under that wire first. s s s Tod:i_v's program is easily the best that h been ever put together ‘s racing here. The two ls alone would be well worth the price of admission but in addition the other two classes are two more that will just add that f much more to the tenseness and,‘ excitement that is always associat- ed with the harness racing game. I s s s , If either golf or tennis is your game. we are sure you'll find‘ mighty interesting an article in the I September issue of Esquire magiv‘ zine titled "Golf Keeps Me Guess“ ing," written by Ellsworth Vines. ! s s s .

As one who took up the game of' tennis, ns a long-legged adolescent of 12. had won three U. S. amateur titles by the time he was 19, and went on from there to become one of the greatest racquet-wielders In the world, Vines is qualified speak with authority. He quit the amateur ranks in this sport in 1934 ‘ and stepped out to dominate the; professional circuit just as thor-| oughly as he had ruled the simon- puree for several‘ more years.

' I

Then, in i940, Vines turned to- golf. Hi_s rise to the status of a top- iiotch performer in this sport has been equally as rapid and sensa- tional as in tennis. Today, at 32. he's travelling in top company all over again. The nearest parallel to his career as a two-sport star is

that of Sammy Byrd, who turned‘ lit off to fall buck to sixth. At the

from baseball — he was the man

who was first nomiated to succeed ‘ top

Babe Ruth with the Yankees-to golf, and now is one of the four best golfers in the U. S.

As Vines sees it. golf and tennis are much the same in many ways. To play either game as a champ- ion plays it you must have great powers of concentration of mind, muscle and nerve and the capacity to free ourself from tension be- tween s ots. Where the differ- ence in the game comes is in the competitive situations.

In tennis you can control the play of your opponent to a. great extent. In golf you can control only your own game. Whatever you do seldom affects the game of your opponent if he han competi- tive temperament of a kind need- ed to qualify him to be in a. first- class contest. In golf it is what you do alone that determines your score.

s s s

In tennis the physical perform- unce is so risk and continuous that you haven't time for tighten- Ing up. The shctmaking becomes so predominantly mechanical that you don't have time for thinking about the innumerable details that ma go wrong in the hitting of the be], In golf competition you walk about four miles over the comfort- able turf of a beautiful country- side in about three hours.

s . .

You devote from '10 to 100 sec-y onda to each shot. The rest of the, time, if your intellect In active and. gengltive, you spend mostly in‘ worrying about what to do in those '10 to 100 seconds.

That's ' hiahiv recommend

not a disastrous one.

Lela Budlong, a three-year-old pacing machine owned by Yeo and MacEachern of Montague and handled well by Rankin McLaine did as was expected of her when she paced off with the Three-Year- Old Futurity in impressive fash- ion. but it was a far different story in the other two races on the card. Colleen Scott. was pretty nearly a prohibitive favorite to take the 2.16 Trot and Pace but Giftline. pacing two of his miles in better than 2.10 caused a. bi upset as driver Weir staved of all chal- lenges in the first two heats and then with a great show of speed the Power Bros. horse came from behind to take the third and final one and make his triumph com- l7

It was the same in the case of Scottv McKanes victory. The lit- tle black pacer, owned here until a year ago and now owned in Halifax, was unbeatable in his class. Driver Joe O'Brien got him

‘away to a flying start in the first

heat and he was never headed and it was the same story in the next two having too much for the rest of the field and in the third lieat beating back the challenges offer- ed him by ths pre-racc favorite.

Today one of the most outstand- ing card of races will be offered headlined as they are by thc Junior Free-For-All and the Prec- For-All Trot, two races in which the bearcats among the trotters and pacers now performing over Maritime tracks will take part and also the 2.19 Trot and Pace and the 2.22 Trot, two more classes that should see the starters really flying over a track that yesterday was lightning fast.

Three-Year-Old Futurity

1st Heat: Molly Kalmuck had the rail position as they came down to score but after falling to take the field down several times Star-ter Irvine sent the Kalmuck mare to the outside of the track and the field scored by Bonnie Spruce. They got away on the first tri down with Bonnie front fol owed by Lustioia. Lela Budlong pacing very fast in third place on the outside snapped the rail as they rounded the first turn and from there on the Budlong mare made every post a winning one.- Going u the backside, the first trip, Nel Kalmuck, one of the favorites went to a break to drop back to last place. As they hit the half way mark Lela Bud- long was still in front followed by Bonnie Spruce, Lusticia and Mic- key Budlong on the outside, Molly Kalmuck and Nell Kalmuck. Hit- ting into the turn Lusticia jumped

of the stretch both Lustieia and Bonnie Spruce set sail for tho flying leader but it was no go. Lela winning by two lengths in 2.18 1-2. Bonnie Spruce we: sec- ond, Lusticia third at Bonnie's pad. Nell Kalmuck moved up to fourth in the stretch drive, Molly Kalmiick fifth and Micke Budlong, who never recovered rom his break at the half, sixth.

2nd Heat: Pacing steadily and In tennis good mechanical per formance can be obtained more easily than in golf, with the re- sult that when you have a mech- anically sound lame there is obvi- ously ess reason to get the jit- ters under fire than there is in golf. And another thing about golf that makes it a tougher game than tennis is the almost incred- ible patio it demands. It's a game you can't lick.‘

At one point in his article, Vines says:.-'1'vs played l. cham ionshi course in o: shots and wa ked o f the eighteenth green kicking my- self for having missed two short

smoothly all the way Lela Budlong was never headed as driver Mc- Laine took her home in front with lengths to spare over Nell Kal- muck and Bonnie Spruce. They got the word on the second score with Lela leading her field follow- ed by Bonnie Spruce, Lusticia, Nell Kaimtick, Mollie Kalmuck. Lusticia traveling on the outside and trying for the rail, went to a break to drop far behind. Going up the backstretch the field of five tucked 1n and as they came by the stands it was Lela, Bonnie, Nell, Molly and Lusticia. Up the backstretch the second trip Nell Kalmuck started to move up on Bonnie Spruce and with Lela Bud- long well to the front it was a duel between Bonnie and Nell for second place. Half way down the stretch driver Weir still had Bonnie heading Neil, but the Kalmuck more, trotting smoothly finally got her head in front to cop second place over the daughter of King Spruce.

3rd Heat: Again it was Lela Bud- long all the way leading from the word go, given on the second score, right under the wire. As they hit into the first turn Lela was in front followed by Nell Kalmuck, Bonnie Spruce, Lusticia and Molly Kalmuck. The order was un- changed as they flashed under the

Jane Hur- vester. Colleen Scott and the Tiger all pulled out but the game little Bonnie Budlong staved them all off until Giftline took over at the head of the stretch to lead the field home. Bonnie, Sir Admiral and Colleen were all very close but it was Sir Admiral, pacing very fast who finished second. Colleen Scott was third by a head over Bonnie Budlong with Jane Har- vester dropping back to fifth and Brownwood Tiger, sixth.

2nd Heat: Driver Teddy Weir continued his first heat upset as he again drove Giftline home in front by two lengtns, Power Bros.‘ smooth pacer, pacing the last half in 1.03 as the other four horses all tried in vain to catch the flying leader. Awa on the fifth score Brownwood er made a bid for the nil on e first turn but couldn't make the grade, racing Giftline right to the quarter pole before dropping into the slot. sir Admiral was tucked in third, fol- lowed by Bonnie Budlong and Col- leen Scott. At the half they were in the same order and they arad- ed halfway up the backstre h be- fore going to drivel. Brownwood Tiger and Sir Admiral made the first moves to be followed by Bonnie Budlong and Colleen Scott. Hitting the three quarter pole Driver Weir shook Giftline out to open up a two-length gag and won under wraps. Bock ebind him, however, Sir Admiral and Colleen Scott were having a battle all their ovvn. Admiral had pass- ed Brownwood Tiger at the three quarters while Colleen had moved up from fifth to third. The Scott mare was at Sir Admiral‘; wheel half way down the stretch but Sir Admiral hung on to cop the posi- tion, Brownwood Tiger finishing fourth ahead of Bonnie Budlong.

3rd Heat: According to the race conditions Giftline winner of two heats scored on the outside of the track and the field were taken down by Sir Admiral and Clarence Schuman was up behind Brown- wood Tiger in place of Tyndall Sample. Away the second trip down Sir Admiral took his field away fast with Colleen Scott as they hit into the back side going to a drive. She raced neck and neck with Sir Admiral finally passing him at. the quarter pole. As they paced by the judge's stand, Colleen Scott was in front, Sir Admiral second, Giftline third, Brownwood Tiger fourth, Bonnie Budlong fifth. Just as the field rounded the tum into the backstretch Teddy Weir shook Giftllne up and the pacing machine really began to move. He mowed clown Sir Admiral and as he hit the three-quarters took the lead from Colleen Scott to come under the wire with a length and s half to spare.

Bonnie Budlong showed terrific speed at the word as she took the rail from Giftline to open up a length lead. Jane Harvester raced on the outside of Giftline right past the quarter pole before tuck- lng into third place and as they came by the packed stands it was Bonnie Budlong still in front, Gift- line second, followed by Jane Har-
