British Buying French Horses

‘ LONDON. Dec. 26 —(Reuters)—- Impressed by the showing of Pirench thoroughibreds on English tracks last season, British own- ers and breeders are bidding high prices for the best French blood stock.

Until recently French breeders found difficulty in making racing pay because of high upkeep costs and small prizes but now they are cashing in on the boom in Lon- don racing prices.

The big change grew out of the victories rung up in 1948 by such horses as Caracaila. Sayani and Souveraln. Carscalla won the Gold

The win left the Stanley Cup champions three points behind Leafs in the torrid race.

Both teams were flying all the way and bumping hard, but Can- aclicns had enough-the best of it to sink their shots when they counted.

Twelve penalties were handed out. half of them in the first period that produced fast and rugged hockey. Gus Morison col- lected two minors and a miscon- duct in that period and another minor in the third to take the bad man honors.

But none of the penalties figur- ed in the scoring, both teams checking furiously and forcing the pace when sliorthanded.
