Duncan and Jimmie Power are looking over the horses this afternoon and will be busy scanning the catalogue until the sale opens at ten o'clock Mon- clay morning. Most of the drivers and owners who raced at Roosevelt will be there and these will in- ulude Joe O‘Brlen. who no doubt will be consulted by several own- ers having in view the purchase of racing speed for 1949.

Dude Potempkin, 2.07 1-4, own- ed by Lester Johnson, Fortune. holder of the track trotting record at Alberton of 2.09 1-2, has de- veloped into a good brood mare, having produced Dudy Budlong 2.13 4-5, and the trotter Buddy Budlong 2.16 4-5. both by Calu- met Budlorig 2.02 3-4, Feather Duster by Abbe Worthy. that trial- ed in 2.17 1-2. ‘There is also a. 8-year-old gelding by Kalmuck in Willard Kelly's stable that looks like a future star. Last winter it twill be remembered f-hat E. A. Grant of Houlton. Maine, came here and purchased from Lester a two-year-old by Playdale out of Dude Potempkin. We learn that lt worked a mile in 2.14 but as it was not staked it was turn- rcl out and will be entered in sev- eral of the big stakes of 1949.

Over 6.000 people were present and most of them stayed till the last heat. Mr. April, owner of Rovai

. Thanks.

LL-Col. J. P. Hooper, M. C., President of the P. B. 1. Harness Racing Club. has sent out a ques- tlnnaire to some 200 horsemen in an endeavor to secure their opin- ion regarding the racing of two- year-olds and of having a four- year-old futurity. Some 100 have replied and the Colonel is anxious to have a complete or almost com- plete return, so take a few min- utes of your time pnd fill out the form and mail it.

From what we read about Italy it would appear that harness rac- ing would be the last thing people would take an interest in, but not so. A few weeks ago at Cesena over a half-mile track there was featured what we would term a free for all trot open to the Eur- opean continent, and the purse was three million lire, A capacity crowd attended. The distance was 1-600 metres -- equivalent to about cne mile. It was won by Dr. Spen- cer 4, 1.59 1-4, which set a. world's race record of 2.01 1-4 over the Delaware. Ohio, half-mile track in 1946 and was that same fall sold by E. .7. Baker to Count Orsl Man- gelli of Italy for $50,000. The first heat in the, race was won by Jen- nifer Hanover 4, 2.05 1-2. The sec- ondheat was won. by Dr. Spencer in 2.08 3-4 and the third heat by Volo-Tone. Dr. Spencer was ad- judged the winner of the race.

A new Swedish record for two- year-old trotters was set up re- cently by Golden Bulwark. that trotted the somewhat heavy course there in 2.16 2-5. The sire of this filly, Bulwark, recently sold for the equivalent of $35,000 in Ameri- can money - the largest price ever paid for a horse iu Sweden. He was by Volomite and his darn was Sister Guy by Guy Axworthy. As a three-year-old he was sold by Walter Cox to a Swedish buyer for less than $1,000.

The fastest miles trotted in Eur- ope this season and the perform- ers are —Voitite 3. 2.04 3-4, by Volomlte -2.06 1-5; Scotch Fez 2.05 1-2 by Scotland -- 2.06 3-5: Locomotive 2. 2.13 by Scotland - 206 4-5 The Italian. bred Mlstero trotted in 2.06 4-5 and the trotter Iron Man by Bulwark in 2.07 3-5: Valett by Bulwark trotted in 2.08 1-5. Both these were owned. bred and trained in Sweden and account for the fact that their sire sold for such a large sum as men- tioned above.

William J. Rosemire, aged 72, died recently at his home in Lex- ington. As a young man he lived in Cleveland. Ohio, and trained horses there. In 1911 he went to Russia and for many years was the leading driver in that coun- tiy. When the Bolshivik regime took over there he returned to the United States where he trained horses for the Pastime Stable i; Cleveland. He was very successful as a driver and developer of speed and because of his high character and known reliability he was call- ed upon to pick horses for Ell!‘- opcan buyers. Among the many great horses he sent over to Europe we may mention Dr. Spencer 1.50 1-4, MoLin Hanover S. 1.50 1-4, Mus- cletone ll, 2.02, locke Bunler 2021-2, Grand Parade 3, 2.08 1-5, Mamie Britten 2.02.14 and many other; that have raced mllliantly. Among the stallions may be men- tioned Van Sandi‘. 2.00 3-4, San Guy 2.0a 1-4. The Laurel Hall 4, 2.06 1-4, and grutat of all, ma: 4, 1M 1-2. that Americana would have given a great deal of money to have back in tho U-l.

~ I The Mounties are not the only l ones who will be going info the‘ game minus some of their top- nofch men, however, as the Saints themselves have also lost the ser- vices of one of their best forwards. Jimmy/Ayers. who will not be in today's game due to injuries re- ceived in last Wednesdays game against ‘U. N. B. . . 0 You can depend that the Moun- ties, with their chances of defend- ing their Maritime title against St. F‘. X. nexi week at stake today as well as the N. B.-P.E.I. title, will be a tough team to beat, but nevertheless local fans fcel that if the Saints can perform the way they did last Wednesday against U N. 3., their chances of taking today's tilt are more than favour- able.

Local fans who are always in-

terested in how and what our lo-

cal boys are doing in outside sport-

ing circles. will be interested in the following items. o - .

According to a report in la", Week's Sporting News. Wcs “Buc- ko" Trainer. former local hockey star here, and now a member of the Saint Paul.

According to Frank (OP) Kap- lan, hockey referees, especially ‘in the junior leagues, sometimes are human enough to err on the fine points of rule interpretation. ever: though they know the niie book backwards.

. - - .

Chick (Stratford Beacon-Herald) Appei suggests aspiring referees of the Ontario minor hockey associa- tion should attend a. meeting where experienced officials could explain these fine points. At the same time, Chick mentions an error common to some junior officials. It's the rule governing goalie- w-ho hold the puck in their hands too long.

I I O t

Here is the rule: "A goalkeeper who holds the puck with his hands for longer than three seconds shall be given a minor penalty. A goal- keeper must not deliberately hold the puck in any manner which, in the opinion of the referee, causes a stoppage of play. The penalty for infringement of this rule by the goalkeeper shall be a minor penalty.

I O O O

"Referees," says Chick "perlst in stopping the play and facing off the puck to one side of the not." "rho rule says nothing a- bout the referee sounding his whistle should a goalkeeper hold the puck more than the prescrib- od three seconds. Yet the mistom- ary explanation of the referee as a cover-up is that he blew his whistle before the three seconds had expired." "When a referee atop: play for this infringement he has no other course but to abide by the rules and penalize the goalkeeper two minutes, which can be served by a teammate."
