RANGERS TRAIL the Hawks by a single point and are ¢oncentrating on getting closer to the Boston Bruins. Milt Schmidt's men have only one engagement and that is at home Sunday night against Detriot. Schmidt can feel these Hawks

and Rangers breathing down his neck and it’s a most uncom- fortable sensation.

It was much nicer when these Rangers and Hawks appeared to have thrown in the sponge. A playoff spot seemed a sure thing

= until Pike and Pilous whipped their charges into a fighting mood :

Now the Bruins must go out and win a playoff, place on their own merits. It seems as though the Rangers and Hawks have had a change of heart and intend fighting for at least fourth

place. Indeed they may have even greater ambitions.

Danny started early as a race driver, probably before he was 20 years old, and now he is past the 80-year mark and, as you will notice, he is still going strong. His father, John Steele, was pro- minent as a trainer and driver in the early 1890's, and it was he who went to California at about

: Palo Alto Farm was then in its hey - day, and its trotters, bred by the Hon. Leland Stan- ford, were among the best rac- ing. Mr. Steele arrived back with “Parkside” and another stallion named “Ballston,” and we re- member seeing Parkside race at the exhibition on our Charlotte- town track in 1891. The race: was split up, but Parkside was the eventual winner,

In those days a horse had to win -three heats to win a-race, and there was always plenty of jockeying. 3

Parkside became a_ great sire, and his get, in a few years, were racing over several Mari- time tracks. Of course, there was a lot of jealousy in those days when horses were the only means

transportation, apart from the

lway, and Parkside had plenty of knockers, but Mr. Brennan, as we look back, we would say is responsible, in a large measure, for the prestige this province re- ceived in the production of good trotters and pacers.
