, "sjmon pures" at times stag- yd "pier six" brawls that had the 00d sized crowd cheering the ef- ‘orts of the boys madly.

New heavyweight champion of in; Island is rugged, hard-hitting rnwin Henry of Keppcch. who ‘m, coming through with two tnockout victories in his opening touts walked into the title by de- mit when Reg O'Brien of Morell was unable to appear due to hav- qn; given a blood transfusion ear- ner in the day. O'Brien provi- mly had been awarded a three- round decision over Austin Pen- dergast of Kensington, a. verdict that failed to find favor with the crowd who leaned heavily towards the Kensington boy having the better of the scrap.

Henry in his first appearance ‘as pitted against Bill Pendergasf or Kensington, Wlnhlhi W l knockout after a minute and 45 ieconds of fighting and after Pen- dergast. had staggered him with a couple oi hard shots to the chin and face.

The champion drew rugged Tom gendcrgast in his next appearance rnd this time chalked up his sec- pnd kayo of the night by stopping his opponent in two rounds. The “rap was the feature event of the night. Early in the first heat peniiei-gast. shaking Henry up with smashing right hands, ran into a couple of solid right hands that put him on the deck for a count of five. Getting back up Pendergast. swinging away with both hands had Henry down for a seven count and for the remain- der of the round they slugged it out on even terms, both bleeding from the nose as they went to lhclr corners.

It. was all over after a minute rnri a half of fighting in the sec- ond. Pendergast started out fast to pound Henry's body and face‘ lint the durableKepooch boy a- gain took over control and referee Dinny McCormac stopped the hcht with Pendergast helpless on rne knee in a neutral corner.

Rustlco Boy A Winner

Siocky, hard-hitting Al Plncau of South Rustico captured the middleweight title when he out- pointed Eugene Clarkin of Char- loileiown in a bristling three- rouiid engagement. In the first heat with both respectfulbf each other, action was somewhat slow with Clarkln having a slight edge but in the final two heats both boys stepped up the pace with the fans seeing fast swinging ac- tion all the way as the new cham- pion came through with the more damaging punches to earn his title victory.

Jimmy (Roach) McGregor of Charlottetown earned the right to represent the Province in the

i welterweight division when he clearly outpointed Roger Kennedy oi Kenslngton in three fast

fow seconds of the third Murphy was down again and after regain- ing his feet toppled to the canvas after missing a wild right swing. The referee stopped the bout, giv- ins Kryor a technical kayo win. Murphy received a great hand from the crowd on his game dis- Play.

Stevie McDonald, another Char- lottetown mittslinger was crowned bantamwelght champion by virtue of a three-round decision over Dave Livingstone of Charlotte- town. The bout produced nerve- tingling action all the way as the boys threw everything but the water bucket at each other in all three heats. Several times in each round each was staggered but re- fused to go down and it was Mc- Donald's closing rally that won him a split decision, one judge VOUIIZ for Livingstone with the other_judge and referee Prowse seeing it McDonald's way.

Kelly Wins l-‘lyweight Tltlo

Final title to be decided was the flyWelght with Lorne Kelly win- ning all three rounds ln the final against Ja.ck Cullen. Boxed mostly at long range for the first two and a half rounds, the,youngsters started to come to close quarters in the final minute and a half but it was Kelly all the way. Af- ter winning the first two heats by comfortable margins Kelly was set back momentarily the third by Cullen's bid for victory but came back strongly to force his opponent to cover up several times with barrages of right and left hand punches. .

Cullen had won his way into the

knockout over Paul Jenkins in an earlier bout. In the first part of the first round both boys fought it out at even terms but Cullen started to come on at the end and before Jenkins went down for the fatal ten count had had his op- ponent on the canvas for counts of eight and nine.

Two IO-pounders. the Diamond twins, Ronnie and rtollie put on a smart exhibition with Ronnie getting the decision after the two‘ kids had shown s decided know- ledge of the game and had car- ried themselves lfke veterans.

Immediately after the last event Dr. W. J. P. MacMlllan. O. B. E.. presented the trophies to the var- ious wlnners, congratulating the champions on their well merited victories. .

Col. W. W. Reid. Director of Physical Fitness, under whose sponsorship the tournament was held, also thanked the fans for their attendance, stating it was through their interest that e. trip for the winners to the Maritime championships would be made possible.

ln addition to the fights des- crlbed above two other champions were crowned, Dick Ryan getting the featherweight title when no other entries were received, and Prank Gormley taking the junior welterweight crown for the same reason. '

Officials connected with the meet are to be commended on their splendid efforts, the lengthy program being run off Without l hitch, with supervisor Tom White deserving of special mention for his efforts in the tournament's success.

well driven by Teddy Weir; Lucky Pal third. In the next two heats. in one of which she made a break and came on with a sensational burst of speed, Lucky Pal headed the field with Tiny Budlong very close up each trip; Dale B, (c, O'Brien) 4-5-3; Donna Clegg 5- 6-6; flve other starters, best time 2.16 2-5-a new record for Lucky Pol, supplantlng the 2.18 2-5 made

at Goodwill races. Ola Budlong (Lowry) also took a record Or’ 2.19. -

Lucky Pal has license to be one of the best trottcrs in the Pro- vince. She had very llttle work prior to her race at Goodwill meet. Her owner 1s Frank McDougall, station agent at Bloomfield. and she was bred by Harold Wood- side. Hamilton. Her sire was Bel- lini Scott 2.09% and her dam was Miss La Aubrey 2.13, record taken at Halifax in the first heat of the Maritime bred trot. It was then the record for Maritime bred four- year-old trotters. The dam of Bellini Scott was the noted brood mare Eva Bellini. whose name fig- ures in the pedigree of some of the greatest trotters and pacers in the land. The dam of Miss Ln Aubrey was Miss Belle Rico 2.16% by Manrlco 2.03. Credit for bring- ing this mare out and developing her speed is due to Lloyd O'Brien. whose discerning eye saw the pos- sibilities of a future great trotter that with small opportunity made good.

Two others we would like to make mention of are Milton Bud- long, that was practically a dis- card a year ago when sold to J.D. Mehan and has been a good per- former all season, and Tiny Bud- long, that many thought would never make the grade but in Ted- dy Weir's hands Thursday was the contending horse in all three heats and looks like a future star. Considerable praise for her im- provement must also go to Edgar Bryenton of Hamilton. who had her under his care for several

months. 0 ~0- 0- 0

Just hero we would like to give full credit to the directors cf the Charlottetown Driving Park track and Charles Willis for the oppor- tunities they have given the horsemen of the Marltimes in the two afternoons meets of this week and the past week. Good purses—-t\vo of them $1,000.00 each -were put up and all the condit- ions were attractive. By the op- portunities afforded the slower class horses a lot of new material has made its appearance that will be taking the place in a year or two of horses that may perhaps due to purchase or the lure of what. appears to be more attract- ive racing fields elsewhere, leave the Maritimes. The sale of Lynn- mite, Janette Dale and George Calibecks three-year-old at very fancy prices is no doubt just the prelude of things to come, and by the way. Janette rDale recently lowered her record to 2.10 2-5. in o winning race at Lewlston. Maine. and Lynnmite won a heat and was-second in another event.

A pleasing conclusion to the program at Covehead was the pre- sentation of $35.00 to Won-ell Lewis, driver whose mile in 2.06 3-5 was the fastest paced during the meeting. and also $35.00 for Lee Brewer's mile in 2.10 3-5. the fastest heat trotted during the meeting. The caretakers of these horses, James McKillop and Allle Lewis, each re- ceived 015.00.

Game I-Iere

Abegweits and Summeraide Alll Stars clasih at the Park diamond tomorrow afternoon in the fifth game of their Island intermediate baseball playdowns and local fans are expected to attend in thousands to watch the local eiiforts to again square the series and leave the result directly up to sixth and de- ciding encounter, likely to be play- ed in Summerside.

The game, scheduled to get un- derway at 3 o'clock sharp should produce the best ball of the season. Players are right at. the top of their game and it likely w'_ll be a battle royal between two smart defensive

ciding it.

Bernard will likely take the mound for; the visitors while un- officially it was felt here last nlgihi that big Elmer Larier, already with a victory over the Slummerslde ‘crew. will likely be the Abbier‘ pitching choice.

Throughout the harness horse world lovers of the sport will re- gret to learn of the death last Wednesday at his home in Farm- ington. Maine. of G. ‘Milton Hatch, who was one of the oldest and best loved turf writers in Am- erica. l-Ie started at the age of eighteen writing stories of cattle and horses which were published in the Maine horse breeders monthly in 1804. From then on he covered the Maine fairs and races and was also a correspond- ent for some of the bigger papers at important race meets such as Readvil and other Grand Circuit points. His contributions were read by many of us in Turf, Farm and Home and in the Trotter and Pacer. Nlso The American Horse Breeder. From time to time we have in these columns referred to Mr. Hatch or quoted his writings. He had the faculty of making friends, featuring horses and drivers in a manner which caught the attention of his readers and gave him a wide clientele of ad- mirers. Up to the very last he continued his labors and his pass- ing was peaceful. He is survived by his wife, the former Miss Lil- lian Hyde of Murray Harbor, P. 13.1.. who was of great assistance to him in his writings and work. To Mrs. Hatch and daughter Miss Nathalie Hatch of Winthrop, Mass. we on behalf of the horse- men of the Marltlmes. tender our

deep sympathy.

A few weeks ago, to be exact on the 27th of August, t/wo city fish- ermen were driving along the Peakes Road on their way to a fav- ourite trout pool. About three miles from Mount Stewart they observed t/wo men dressed ln working clothes

standing in a deep ditch on the

right hand side of the road. There was nothing unusual about this but. both men were holding double bar-relied shotguns at the ready and were intently watching a covey of Hungarian partridge feeding am- ong lhe stocks just out of gunshot range. O O U

Both fishermen are observing and I understand fumished the game. warden with a very minute des- cription 0f the men. the field and nearby farm buildings. So good was the detailed information the warden had no difficulty locating the spot. The two fishermen did not tarry to see if any shots were actually fired. They fell me the game warden knows the Peakes district like a book and no doubt has drawn his own conclusions long before this. What action, if any, he intends to take is his own military secret.

Two local anglers hit the "jack- pot" 0n the last day of the trout fishing season. Monday the 15th. The siu of the catch is the talk _of' the town but so far no one has been able’ to pry the secret from them as to where the catch was made. A heavy run of spawning trout is moving toward the head- waters of our streams and it is to be hoped that all true anglers will assist in protecting those fish and thus assure good angling in the future.

"vxmvxggl;

Almost everyone has heard about the three little kittens who lcist their mittens but not mam’ have heard about one little kitten who lost its Home in a cell at the Charlottetown Police Staflon. This cell is usually reserved for people who have lost their equilibrium through the medium of strong drink.

No, Kitty wasn't drunk it

An American tourist visiting in iihis city acquired a kitten Bl- Rocky Point one day last week but was not permitted to keep it at the Tourist Home where she was staying.

Unable to find a boarding P1869 for the tiny pet, the lady tourist sought the aid of the local P0116? Department. who didn't know where she could board hhe animal either

Chief Birt/wistle came to her as- sistance and offered the hospital- ity of the alcoholics cell at the local station. The woman accepted the Chief's offer after being as- sured that the strong odor of disinfectant would not make pussy sick.

Regular visits were made by the owner who confessed being a. bit embarrassed trotting in and out of Police headquarters.

However. Saturday night brought complications in this hous- ing situation. Another tenant

arrived to spend the night.

Kitty was promptly evicted with no place to go. Again the Chief of’ Police aided the owner by agree- ing to let her pet have his office until other arrangements could be made .

ThLs, arrangement became rather awkward and the kitten was re- ferred to a. gentleman at the Ven- dc-me Hoteq who boarded it for the visitor.

The moral of the story is this: There is no place wrhatever in Charlottetown at the present time where people can board a pet cat while they are away on vacation, or who. for some other reason. can- not take care of them.
