Bill MacAusla-nd and. donens of other track masters are 8100111- ing the raceway and the fans are looking forward to‘ the pleasure of watching the workouts and sizing 1g: the horses for the turf battles of the coming months. There is really nothing like the pleasure 8 horseman gets out of Spring. alter Winter's snows have melted, Old Sol commences to shine more brightly and that peculiar feeling, SPRING is in the air. From the look of things the Charlottetown, Truro, St. Stephen, Moncton, Am- herst, Lower Sackville, Woodstock and North Sydney ovals will be among tho busiest in the Mari- times.

New horses are coming in and next week greetings will be in or-

der to Milton Bell's new pacer.

Worthy Ermine 2.08 2-5. The trot- ter May Todd 2.11 1-5 is also ex- pected. Worthy lih-mine is a blacki mare by Tactful Guy. She made eighteen starts in 194B, won 1.2 heats or dashes and $2,198, making her total winnings $8,247, is eligible to the 2.15 class and will be a worthy contender in the fast classes here during the night races and summer meetings. She was owned and raced last season by J. G. Barnes, St. Stephen. N. B.

May Todd needs no introduction. She was in Rankin McLaineis stable two years ago and was much admired whenever she appeared.

. She is a really beautiful brown

mare by Julian Todd. Last season was her best since she came to the Maritimes. In her fourteen starts she won 12 heats and her total win- nings are vnow close to $4,000. 1t Iwas- principally May Todd and Bright Spot that put Frankie Carr of St. John so well up in the list of leading drivers of 1948. He certain- ly had the key to this male and a glance through the Year Book will show how creditably she raced against trotters and pacers.

At the last evening of the Phoe- lx, Arizona, night racing meet rch 18th, one of the winners was Talugi, formerly owned by Wil- liam McGibbon, St. Stephen, and raced here by Earle Semple. Talugi won several events at Phoenix; both on the trot and pace, but that last evening he came out as l. pacer and won from six others in 2.11. Bow horses do get arorundl A couple of years ago he was racing at Charlottetown, Coveheed and other Maritime tracks and a few weeks ago in for away Phoenix. The Harness Horse gives pro- mlence_to the pacer Highland Fri:- co in a recent issue. Highland Frisco holds the track record at Moncton-ZOB 11-5, made July 13rd,, 1.948. The Harness Horse considers him to be one of those "really use- ful, dependable _wrigglers, with power, quick getaway, real weed and not Lbe slightest tendency to ease off in the stretch." Since leaving his home in Pennsylvania three years ago, in his very first season in Canada he took part in 32 trips, was first in 21, second in ten and third in one. The fol- lowing year he ended first in 5 heats. was second _In ten and third in six. lowering his record to 2.04- 1-5, and last year he landed 26 times in front with miles ringing from 2.04 l-5 to 2.06 frequently. Horsemen are again reminded that after May 1st. eligibility cer- tlficates will be $4.00, so send in your membership fee before that date and you will get the 1948 Year Book, a year's subscription to Hoof Beats, driver's license, eligibility certificate and membership. Under new rules adopted December, 1948, horsemen will no longer be allowed to apply for an eligibility certifi- cate on race day, they must have their certificate in order to be al- lowed to race, and an eligibility certificate must be presented when a horse is declared in. Rules pro- vide a fine on both horse owner and track when a horse starts with- out a certificate.

‘Ibo Charlottetown trait

the scene of many memorable race meets and one that was ‘ ‘ ‘

ing was Sept. 28-Oct. 2, 1920. There were 8d trotters and pacer-s either stabled at the track or in the city and-tho entries.» totalled 102. Over

-&,000. was offered in purses -- the

‘largat amount ever paid out by thePrcvincial Exhibition up to that date; The most prominent stables were John .Wil1ard'|

o. s. deflnitelffieoond to rem‘ Hal in the 2.11 P106,

heading Blanche H, Lady Clrattan, Roy Volo and Prince Rupert. The latter had a record of 2.04 1-2 and was driven by Raoul Potvin of Montreal. The third heat in 12.12- 1-4 was a new track pacing record.

The 2.20 Trot was a battle royal between Orwell Belle, driven by Johnny McCabe. and Roy Miller (MacKinnon), Buddy More (Hen- nessey) and Keltic (Arbing) Or- well Belle won the first heat, Roy Miller the next two and Orwell Bell the final two heats. The next day Orwell Belle’ was 2-4-2 with the British Soldier (MacKinnon) 111111111118. Those were the days when trotters and pacer-s had to be tough. They were trained for it and of 001-1116 training a great many heats also dulled their speed somewhat and fast miles were not so evid- ent. Then. too. the tracks were kept purposely heavy and usually a sec- ond or two leeway was given by the timers in the fall so the horses would be eligible to a slower class the following year.

The 220 Pace was won by Corwin Hal, driven by Dannie Steele. He made it three straight with Bill Be Sure (Boutllier) 3-2-2, Laccpia, Bessie L., Hilda S. and Dongola were the other starters, best time 2.15 1-2. The 2.40 Pace carried the lerscrt amount of speculation of the whole meeting. College Swift, that had won all his races on the Maine and New Brunswick circuit and had a record of 2.11 1-2, was believed to be the sure winner. Dick C. (MacKinnon) won the first two hem. College Swift (Hanafin) 2-2. College Swift won the next W0 heat-B. Keemah Aubrey (Stewart) 2-2, Dick C 3-3, five other starters. The race went over till the following day and Dick C. won the deciding heat in 2.14 1-2, which was the fastest heat paced by a new performer in the Mari- times that year. The 2.25 Trot was won by Bingen Worthy, driven by Billy Hood, Miss Belle Rico (Mac- Arthur) won the first two heats, then Bingen Worthy came on to win the next three and race. The Montreal mare Dolly Duroc w“ 1111111. T080 M. fourth. Upton Prince fifth. Other starters were Bingen Celeste. Mother's Boy. Princess Pat and Commodore Cresceus. Miss Belle Rico won the fastest heat- 2.ltl 1-4. Miss Belle Rico (MacAr. tbur) had won the 2.30 trot on the second day of meet with Bingen Worthy (Hood) z-z-a, six other starters. best time 2.18 1-4. She was owned by W. B. MacArthur, Ken. 8l118ton. The 2M Trot and Pace was won by Northern Mac (W11. lard) in straight heats, Bill Be 5111's 22-3. Orwell Belle 7-3-2, four other starters. Thus from the flth. of September to the 2nd. of Octob- er, Orwell Belle had taken part in three races of eleven heats. which shows what a tough and well cared for mare she was. She was also very beautiful. Northern Mac (Wil- lard) also won the first_division of the we pace on opening day, best time 2.17 1-2.

Statistics ofThtmeetlng allowed the MacKinnon Stable top winner with $1.15.

TORONTO. April 15 — (OP)- Detroit Red Wings plan a lineup shuffle tomorrow night in a last, desperate bid to shake the stranlllt- hold of Toronto Maple Leafs (m

_ their third successive Stanley Cup

and the world professional hockey championship.

Coach Tommy Ivan said today that wingmen Nels Podolsky and Gerald Reid, recruits from the In- dianapolis team of the American Hockey League will be tossed into the fray again in an effort to put new life into the sagging view of the club which won the National Hockey League title in a walk. The Leafs, on the other hand. plan to stand pat on the lineup which won the first three games of the best-of-seven series. They could finish it of! by taking the fourth game Saturday night. If the Wings win, the two teams bundle right off to Detroit for the fifth game Sun-

Detroit Red Wings Plan Lineup Shuffle

CHARLUPTEIUWN

I of luck keeps amilinron us," said Conny Smythe, managing director of the Toronto club. He added that the Wednesday night game which the Leafs won 3-1 "shows how bad they can be." Hi; team gave a life less performance half the way and then suddenly recovered to fashion their triumph.

Ivan said a decision would be made tomorrow as to what players Podolsky and Reid will replace. Both saw action earlier in the series but did not play Wednesday night, Podolsky, 23-year-old native of Winnipeg, scored 26 goals and 30 assists for 56 points in the A. H. L. schedule. Reid, 20 and from Owen Sound, Ont., scored 31 goals and had 47 assists for 78 points. The Red Wings spent Good Fri- day quietly In Toronto. The, Leafs are at St. Catharines. They headed there after the Wednesday night game and will return to Toronto tomorrow night just in time to

day. "All I hope is that the goddess

with representatives from the vari- ous clubs in the Province, whichl can work in close co-operation with the Canadian Association for the future development of tennis players in this Province, particular- ly in the Junior ranks. I I I

The president expressed his de- sire to see a series of elimination tournaments held throughout the Province, with winners from the various districts meeting later .at." Charlottetown in a Provincial tournament to choose a P. E. 1. junior champion who would be given the opportunity of entering Maritime and Dominion junior competition. Col. McAvity assured local tennis officials, that the Dominion Association was prepared to make a liberal grant of money to the Provincial Association, when re-organized, to help finance such a wide-spread tennis pro- gram in the Province.

W I I I

lt is understood, that as the re- sult of Mr. McAvitys visit, Messrs. Malcolm McKinnon and .J A. Bentley, president and vice-presi- dent respectively of the P. E. I. Lawn Tennis Association will call a general meeting in the near future with representatives from clubs throughout the Province to re- organize the association in the interests of promoting better tennis here. , I I ‘I Despite all out efforts of officials since the end of hostilities to bring the game to the level it enjoyed in pre-war years their efforts, de- spite the fact that the game has enjoyed a post war boom, have fallen far short of the mark, and it could be that the re-crgaxlizing of an Island Association would be Just the spark needed to bring the game back all the way and again place the Province right to the forefront of tennis activities throughout the Dominion. I I I

Re-organization of the Vics amateur athletlc- club should add much interest to the sports schedule of the Province. As is well known the Vics in years gone by were a mighty force to be reckoned with, not only locally but throughout the seaside provinces and given time to take the athletes along that will be performing under the blue and white colors they are ex- pected to reach again the same heights of stardom. I I I '

In addition their representatives will add lots of color and competit- ion to the various phases of Island athletic competitions. The inter- clu-b duels between Vics and Abbies, duels that produced great battles in other eras will again be to the forefront and taken all in all sport in general should benefit greatly with the addition of Vice repre- sentatives. - I I I
