DECEMBER 31. V1932

(Continued from Page ii) ' rho pacing record for CapeBro- ton.

Heatherbell, brought here by Brenton Mclnnis, formerly a resid- ent oi Boston, but now back to his native heath, was the sensational irotter of the year. having the hen- ilr of being the fastest trotting geld- ing oi the year on a provincial track. He was driven by Pat McKenna in all his races, winning five of them at regular meetings and never loa- lng a heat. The fastest mile was 2.102s and the slowest mass, in- cidentally putting up a new track trotting record at Montague of 2.11% and a Matinee record at Charlottetown oi 2.0m. '

The most noted new trotting per- former that came here was Addie McGraw, owned by H. C. Jewett, Fredericton. In her first start at the Exhibition races she won the 2.27 Trot, Maritime Bred, from a field of ten, in 2.14, driven by “Mao Steele. She started in ulres races after leaving here and won all in straight heats, driven by Owner Jewett and taking a record of 2.10% at Fredericton, and aisolhaving the honor of being the fastest green trotter ever bred in the, Maritime provinces. .

Abbe Worthy, 2.05, owned by Mrs. Margaret Ballard, North Sydney, and driven by Billy Hood; was the fastest trotting stallion oi the year, winning a heat at Fredericton in 1.09%, which was within a quarter of a second of the Maritime provin- ces trotting record established by Hollyrood Lee at Halifax 1931.

star G. owned by Harry Breen, Halifax, and driven by Billy Cum- mings, was brought to the Mari- times from Ontario early in August and won a heat at Charlottetown, 1n 2.10%, winning at Halifax and Fredericton, and showing remark- able speed in cach case. 'He took a record at Fredericton oi 2.09 and stamped himself as the outstanding ilow class pacer of the year.

Fax Volo, 2.07, owned and driven by W. D. Rice, Middleton, lowered the track record there to 2.11 and raced credltably at Charlottetown and at Halifax went a heat in 2.1012.

High Toby owned by H. T. Ful- ton, Uppcr Stewlackc, and driven by Johnny Conroy, ticd honors with Great Scott for the track record at

- Northam, when he won the first

heat in 2.13M. It was the fastest mile made by a four year old trot- ter during thc year.

Calumet City, 2.1015, also owned by Mr. Fulton and driven by Johnny Conroy, established the fastest three year old record of the year when he won the second heat of the 2.27 class at Northnm electric light races in 2.13%.

Among the other high lights of racing ill thc Maritimes was the record breaking performance oi Hush, sired by Longsct, 2.0615, and out of Silence, n thoroughbred mare. Hush was bred by Dr. J. S. Jenkins

v at Upton Farm, is owned by Law-

rcnce Hcnncssey, Charlottetown, and was driven by Harry Bailey. He electrified the spectators by pacing his first mile at Montague August

o

10th. In 2.10. bell)! the second 2.10 performer ever bred in this pro. vince; Jacqueline 2.10 being the other. Hush incidentally has tho honor of having paced the fastest mile by a green horse in the Marl- tlmes, replacing the record of 2.10% made -by Warren the Great in 1927 and also being the fastest pacing gelding ever bred in’ the Maritimes and sharing with Jacqueline 2.10 the honor of being the fastest pacer ever bred in the Maritimes.

And now we have to chronicle the exploits of the "track record bust- er" Billy Cope, 2.10%, owned by James Power oi Charlottetown and driven by Pat McKenna. Togethe they broke more track records than any horse or. driver in the. Mari. times in 1932; reducing, the Sum. merside record to 2.1291 from 2.15% held by Real Worthy; the George- town record to 2.131‘. from 2.15% held by Lucky Lindy; Saint Peters to 2.13%- from 2.14% held by Major Aubrey and Montague to 2.10% from 2.12% held by Mary Volo, but the latter record was only held a matter of half an hour, as in the very next race the same afternoon, Hush went out and lowered it to 2.10. Billy Cope won six races dur- ing the season. A most creditable record and one which owner and drivenhave reason to be proud of. Pat McKenna has the honor of be- ing the leading driver of winners in Prince Edward Island in 1932, hav- ing won eleven races with Heather- beil and Billy Cope and lesser amounts with other horses.

During the season of 1932 there were several regrettable casualties to horses. Among them we may mention the death of Great Brit- ton 2.02%, who passed away early in the spring at the Nova Scotia Government Farm, Truro, N. S. An- other sad loss was the death of Jac- queline, 2.1.0, owned by Charles Sudsbury, Kensington. Only two years previously she placed the Maritime pacing record for mares at 2.10. ‘

The following is a list of the Prince Edward Island owned or bred horses that entered the 2.30 list during the season with their records and where made:

Canadian Champions

There were iolir out-standing ac- compllsllnlruts by Canadian ath- letes in the year 1932, two in vic- tory, two in defeat.

C. Ross "Sandy" Somerville, the silent golfer of London, Ont., won tho American amateur golf cham- pionship, Duncan McNaughton oi Vancouver captured thc high Jump from tllc cream of the worlds ath- letes at thc Olylnpic Games.

In defeat, Aleck Wilson of Mont- real, ihe greatest runner in the longer sprints that the Dominion has produced, twicc ran within world's record figures in the Olym- pic Games, and twice was beaten as fleet runners gathered from the world over shuttered old marks to lcore poillts. Hilda Strike, slim Montreal girl spccdstcr, chased the invincible Stella Walsh to tho wire in the Olympics, in the 100 metres went, beaten by inches in world record time, and stamped herself as the fastest Canadian girl who yet ‘ias donned spiked shoes.

Champion Golfer

Somervilie, after many years of effort, found his tenacious an- deavours rewarded as he won the United States amateur, the second Canadian on record to achieve such l. distinction. Somervillc risked, and in fact lost, other honors in his methodical drive to the honor ho sought. Throughout the earlier portion oi the season, he used thc United Slates lighter and larger ball . exclusively in all _ tournaments and in the opinion of many experts, the length of drive and accuracy he sacrificed, when his opponents were using the smaller, heavier and

'I'he Provincial Exhibition at Charlottetown wilich opened Aug- ust 22nd and continued for three days, was the most successful race meeting staged 1n the Maritime Provinces. There were ten races on the program with purses of $600, $450 and $300. Gold pieces for lead- ing drivers and caretakers, ctc., etc. This attracted 121 entries including many horses from the neighboring provinces and some from Maine. Among ihe Maine drivers who com- petcd were Mollie Gcrow and Red Hanlfin. Every race was keenly contested and thc average time madeboth ill the trotting alld pac- ing classes was the fastest in the history of tile Association.

The track record pacing of 2.08 made by Eula H in 1031 was reduc- ed to 2.0701 by Ncil Frisco and Mar- jorie M. Thcrc were fifteen heats paced (luring tllcmeeting, the fast- est being 207-73 and the slowest 2.16, the nvcragc time being just a shade better than 2.12. There were fifteen heats trotted during the meeting, the fastest being 2.11 by Heatherbcll and the slowest 2.1501 the average time being 2.1301.

Carr ran thc route in the amazing time of 46.2 and Wilson again broke the world's record, being clocked in 47.1. Phil Edwards broke both 800 and 1,500 metre marks, only to finish third in ‘each.of those races. Wilson was later adjudged to be Canada's outstanding athlete, thus winning ihe Crowe Memorial trophy.

Hilda Strike finished o. foot bc- hind Stella Walsh as the Polish girl flushed to a new world's re- cord of 11.0 in thc 100 metres. Othcr than thcsc, the Canadian showing at illc Olympics was a drab om.- ill track and ficld, but in the boxing cvenis, the bantam crown was captured by Horace "Lofty" Gwynne of ‘fol-onto, since turned professional.

The sensation in Canadian golf was the victory of the hitherto- unknown Gordon Taylor oi Kana- waki. Tile 23-year old Montreal lad defeated Jack Cameron, 4 up and 3 to go at the Lnmbton course in Toronto. Soluerviile was ellmiri- atcd in the semi-finals and other stalwarts who fell before the march of youth wcrc Don Carrick and ‘Willie Gulnn.

Local hockey fans who were du- bious of seeing a game here on Monday night, may now chase the blues away and sit in on a game of hockey that has all the earmarks oi a real hectic struggle.

The loam which meets Abbies al'e the Ottawa-Hull Lasalle pucksters. one of the finest aggregations of hoc- keylsts in the capital city and there are a few teams in and around Ot- tawa. ' Coach “Chuck" O'Connor inter-

lineup will you use against the Upper Canadians on Monday night? O'Connor gave me that typical side- l011g glance and replied, “I'm going to use the ent‘re club in this game, and their respective showings in this game will have a great lot to do with the personnel of the Ahea- weit team when they start their drive in the second section of the MJ-LL." Therefore judging by the above it looks as if O'Connor is going to look clearly and carefully into the timber given-into his charge. Getting back to the coming game Monday night the writer was giv- en a. “look-see" into some of the Lasalle players who are being en- tertained by the Red Shirts on Monday night.

For instance, St. Aubln, goalie, played with the Ottawa All Stars who toured Europe last year and cleaned up on all opposition. Myre, defencemau, is one oi the heaviest rear guards playing hoc- key today. This "baby" weghs in the vicinity of 230 pounds. Look out forwards!
