”As a race mare Mabel Trssk can carry her flight of speed far- iher than any horse I ever saw. She can also keep cominl back heat after heat. the last half of csch mile being a shade better than 3 minute if necessary. She knows my system of racing to a dot and resents any changes. I had a sam- ple of this at r ,hkeepsie last August. Before the last hm ofthed special with st. Frisco. H. N. Bath 1-equalled Geers and myself to bring the two horses to the Judges' Stand and have them photographed. They rotted the mile in 2.0iVs. and when 1 puued up the mare wanted to walk out of the draw gate. At first she refused to go back and when 1 did get her as far as the Judges stand she kept twisting and turn- mg until I thought. she would wreck her suiky. Finally I succeed- ed in attracting her attention and she stood fora few moments.

"One day at Lexington. I asked 3 western man. who had seen Mabel Trask race as a three-year- old, why he or some other person did not buy her when she was poddied around for 31.200. Ind he said it was not a question of that price, but whether she was worth 5120. Still all the changes 1 made with her was to let her head down and allow her to go as nature in- traded. Of course I never allowed anyone to speak a cross word tn licr, and I also straightened the trslde of her front shoes so that they would not scratch her knee imots as they cost money."

Mabel Trask 2.0li'i. to put the matter briefly, was the greatest daughter of Peter the Great 2.0'lVt. both as to record and earnings. Her fame is enduring through her pro- gcny down to the third and fourth generation. Right here in this prov- ince we have that very handsome stallion, Piaydsle 4, 2.04y,. by Scot- land 1.5922. dam, Elizabeth Rives by Guy Axworthy 2.0816. and his second dam is Mabel Trask. Play- riale is owned by Willard Kelly. Southport. The writer has always had a great admiration fd'r this horse because of his perfect man- r.ers and racing brains. He has al- ready made a name for himself as a sire and one oi the greatest of his pet is the six-your-old brown marc Early Dawn 2.05115, that was bred or Lester Johnston. Fortune. P.E.I. and whose dam is Dude Potenipkih 20711. Early Dawn took part in 23 races last. season. was 7 times first. 7 times second and 3 times third. all on half mile tracks in very fast company and her winnings were sll.li'l. for the season, with total uihnings of 317.246.

Another Maritime bred horse that has been giving a great ac- count of himself for the past sev- r:'aI years in the U. S. A. is Colonel Dan. well known to race fans in the Maritimes. He was sired by Calumet Fingo 2.00.4. while that horse was owned in New Bruns- wick. His principal racing career was in Cape Breton but it was his great campaign in 1948 over Mari- time tracks that led to his sale to McGlnley & Ryan. I-louiton. Me. That season he won 21 heat: and lowered his record to 2.o0!fs. Many will remember that great race be- tween Colonel Dan and Billy Mc- Vsy at Covchead. Sept. ifith. Coi- onel Dan won the first heat by out- stepping Billy to the wire in 2.0041 and then went on to win the next two heats and race. He was owned by Alexander Stevenson and R.l-I iVicKiniton, Rock Elm. NS, and his driver was Joe MacDonald. He now sports a record of 2.0095 and last season as a ten-year-old he made 31 starts. was five times first. ten times second and foirr times third, with winnings of 81.320.

Tryon Arrows Win Wood Trophy

Tryon Arrows won the Hockey Trophy at Victoria Thursday night defeating the Ap-

pin Road Bulldogs G-2. Arrows

took the five-game series 3-1.

The first period was fairly even, but in the second the Arrows out- played and outscored the Bulldogs. The latter carried the play in the final stanza but could not over- come the big lead piled up by Try- on in the previous period.

The cup was presented to 3. Thompson, captain of the Arrows. by "Pop" Maclsan, former presi- dent of the league.

scorers for Tryon were Mcxln- non. three, Cameron. two. and Blair Delaney one. For Bulldogs R. Cudmore and Windsor MacLean each scored singletons.

Good news to the many friends of Dr. R.F. Seaman and his son Don. is that their four-year-old trotter Waymsrk, which was put-. chased from P.J. Cadegan last fall is training extra well. Learning this we looked up his pedigree and it is certainly one of the best one could find. He is by Peter Astra 4. 20lv,, winner of the I-Iambletoniah - and in fact all the stakes he raced as a tliree-year-old. In the hands of the late Dr. H. M. Par- shall he was considered one o the greatest colt trotters of all ime. Peter Astra's sire was Peter Voio 2.02, champion colt trotter as s. two-year-old. three-year-old and four-year-old. and the dam was Astra by San Francisco 2.ii7?l. Way- mark's dam is the great trotting mare Lovely Lady 2.035; by Scot- land 1.5951 and her dam was Fran- ces Knight 3, 2.08V,. Frances Knight was a great trotter and she is also the dam of The Lovely Lady 2 2.08 and grandam of Rippling star 2.0-i iii. Frances Knight's sire was the former world's champion three- year-oid trotter, Mr. Mclilwyn 1.59- 15. Waymark is ii bay horse with flood conformation and when his racing days are over should be a valuable stock horse. Peter Astra, contrary to expectations for his first crops of foals has not heen a producer of extreme early speed but the four-year-olds and older ones by him that have "been train- ed are winning races in the very best company. As a matter of fact there were many sires who did not reach their eminence until late in life and some of them were al- most thrown out and others sold for a song. such as Axworthy 2.15- 14. that but for John H. Schultz. who took a liking to him. would never have founded the Axworthy family which was made so great

Fat Man To Be In leafs” Nels Tonight

TORONTO. March 28 - (CP) - Just about the safest bet for the third game of the Detroit-Toronto Ssnley Cup semi-finals is that the Fat Man will be in the Leaf nets Saturday night. If he isn't. this slap-happy hockey town probably will razz the Leafs out of Maple Leaf Gardens.

The Fat:Man, of course, is the beloved Turk Broda. the oldest - and chubbiest - goalkeeper in big- time hockey.

Leaf officials were mum about who would don the big pads satur- dsy in their efforts to whittle down Detroit's two-game lead in the best-of-seven series. But the con- sensus of observers-and certainly the popular choice-was that the 37-year-old V)'3l'hDT59 would skate out for his 101st appearance in Na- tional Hockey League playoffs.

Coach Joe Primeau. at Toronto's playoff retreat at St. Cathisrines, Ont., kept up the suspense. "Yes, it's been decided who will play goal but I can't tell you who he will be. Either Broda or Al Rollins (the club's regular netminder)." Prim- esu said.

"You'll have to check with Mr. Smytlie."

In Toronto. Conn Smythe. Leaf general manager, chuckled and said: "Our lineup will be announ- ced at 8:30 P. M. (game time) to- morrow night.

Halifax Team Iwins lI.S. Midget Title

HALIFAX, March 23 - (GP) - 1-lallfax Sea Gulls won the Nova Scotla midget hockey title here to- night, defeating Sydncy St. Ther- csa's 3-4. '

Sydney won the first game of the series 4-1, but Sea Gulls 8-1 victory tonight gave them the two- gamc, total-goal series 9-8.

Sydney was well on the way to- ward anothcr victory tonight, lead- ing 3-l at the end of the firs:. but Sea Gulls rallied in the second with five unanswered tallies. Again in the third they outscored the vis- 'itors ll-1.

along the edge of a wall and every so CII.':ll would squat on the ground and drive its bill full length into the soft earth. A woodcock's bill is approximately 3 1-2 inches long. Later he saw it fly over a fence into a yard that lies behind the Department of In- dustry and Natural Resources ileadquariers. Together we walked around the corner on to Sydney street and looked the vacant lot over. I didn't see it until it. flush- ed.

It made a pretty picture as it zoomed over the houscs, its long bill and mottled colouring of red and brown etchcd clcnr against a. blue sky, with a flute like whistle of wings lingering in the wake of its passing. This bird was defin- itely out of its elements. Its at home in the alder swales and bogs of the open country. I wonder how long it will last in the city. It has one weak spot in respect to predalors...lis a sticker for the common house cal. They'll squat and trust in their natural cam- ouflaged marking to protect it and when a cat launches its spring its too late. -

Woodcock generally arrive inlste March or early April. Just how they manage to secure enough food to sustain life is in mystery to many observers. Earth worms are thought to comprise 90 per cent of its food. in fact many Ornithologlsis are quite definite on this point, but this scribe feels that somewhere along the line there has been some wires crossed up. I have seen them In April when the ground was frozen solid and earth Iwni-ms were out of the question so far as a life saving diet was concerned and on top of this the country was covered with show A fool deep. Mother Nature has her own way of looking after her children. The tip on the upper section of s woodoocli's bill is hinged and the bird is thus able to grasp a worm while its bill is into the ground up to its base.

lynn Pairicii Not Pessimistic Despite losses

MONTREAL. March ZR -- (CF) - Coach Lynn Patrick, whose Bos- ton Bruins have dropped the first two games of their Stanley Cup semi-final to Montreal Canadiens. was anything but pessimistic today as he watched his hockey men in a light workout.

"We have been "good enough to

beat them before and there's no reason to get panicky now," saici Patrick. But the Bruins weren't good Tuesday night and last night. ab- sorbing 5-1 and 4-0 trimmings. During the regular National Hoc- key League season it was a differ- ent story. The Bruins won seven games, Canadiens live. Two were tied.

As xpected. Patrick sent out an

SOS to the Bruins” Hershey, Pa.. farm team. The Bears there were knocked out of the American Hoc- key Leagues Calder Cup playoffs last night. . Four fsrmhands were ordered to report to Boston. where the best- oi-seven series resumes Sunday nighti The fourth game will also be played in Boston, Tuesday night.

Those called up - "just for in- surance." said Patrick - are goalie Gordon (Red) Henry; right-iving- ers Leo Lablne and Jerry Toppaz- zini. and -' fenceman Bob Arm- strong.

Patrick said forward Dunc Fish- er will be out of the line-up because of a cracked bone in the left big toe. Fisher suffered the injury last night and an X-ray was taken to- day.

Canadian Y.M.C.A. 1916

sThe Government announced an increase in the Canadian Army to 500,000 men early in 1916. Major Blrks. in a New Year's cable. an- nounced that to carry on the over-less work on an adequate basis required a great increase in personnel and supplies for the coming year. The General Secre- tary hf the National Council of the Y.M.C.A. was relieved of other duties to devote full time to the Y. M. C. A. Military Ser- vices. The 1816 annual meeting of the National Council in February declared by resolution: "That the Associatlon must be prepared in meet to the limit of its ability the enlarged demands of the military work both in Canada and over- seas. and hereby pledges itself to the task, no matter what the cost in men and money and in sacri- lice."

The objective of the Red Tri- angle campaign of 1916 was rais- ed several times. the final budget adopted was s300,000.00; and un- der the distinguished patronage of I-T.R.I-1. the Duke of Connaught, and the Prime Minister, Sir Rob- ert Borden, this great campaign was undertaken. Divine help was sought. and a call to prayer went out ,to all local associations throughout the country. The ap- peal was conducted largely in the cities and larger towns. and was confined to a limited iiumirr of people with means. The budget was oversubscribed by 513,856.00.

The first 'steps were taken to- wards work for men returning from overseas. President H. M. Tory of the University of Alberta. made a study of their needs; anti services were initiated for them on trains and at the ports of entry. special "Y" services were also ar- ranged for enemy aliens interned in Canada. It was reported that this work had a. reciprocal effect in improving the lot of Canadian prisoners in Germany.

Overseas, 1916

Arrangements were made with the British Y. M. C.A. for the transfer of the "Y" huts and work in the Shorhcliffe area to the Canadian secretaries, The "Lad- die Miilen” hut was then added, and the program in that area. greatly enlarged. In the spring. is specialist in Physical Education, Mr. Fred J. Smith. arrived at Shorhcllffe. and a comprehensive program of baseball and football leagues and special held days, was arranged. A series of boxing con- tests were. staged ih an open air arena, with audiences of up to 2.- 500 soldiers.
