The storm that razed on Thurs- 51:11‘ nrrd Friday is just a gentle crniuder- of old-time weather con- ditions.

John Hervey writes an interest- lrrz article in the Harness Horse on Dan Messner. breeder of Dan Patch 1.551». to whom we referred last week.

It has been very cold in Florida at times during the pflgl, few Wflfikfi. and pictures o1 the drivers show them wearing sheep-lingq coats when training their horses It is a most unusual shift of the Weatherman to have Arctic breezes blowing around that vicinity.

Edwin T. Keller writes a history of Earle Averys free-for-all acer, Ray Henley 2.01%. in The orse- man and Fair World. According to it few horses raced during the past ten years have commanded a wider following amOng harness horse lovers than the Ohio bred Ray Henley 2.0101. who for the first time during the past cam- paign was raced out of the hands of his former owner and trainer, Joe Hagler, Xenia, Ohio.

When it was announced early last spring that he had been sold into toe Harry Short stable of Columbus. talk on the sidelines was that Ray had started on the down- ward trail and that 1937 would not sec him the leading factor in the fast pacing classes that he had been eyer since his four-year-old form back ln 1931 Those on the sidelines again confirmed this op- inion when the Columbus trainer decided w accept the offer of Maine horsemen for the fast geld- | lng who was taken the Pine Tree State for a. whirl with the free-for-all cracks.

Those who followed the cam- paign of Ray Henley the past. sea- son over the Maine. Vermont and New Hampshire tracks must have had a feeling of genuine pleasure when he in his eighth year at the races. ‘more than lived up to the reputation he had built up through the central states as‘ one of the grtxrtest pacing geldings we have ever seen. Ray soon demonstrated that he was Just as good as ever and that racing in new territory held no terrors for him. In his first start at Old Orchard. Maine. he finished third and from then on he was either on the front end or the leading factor in his every errgagemenlh- In nine races that followed he was first or second in eight, with victories coming in five of these and in every one of his ten races o1’ the year it must be remembered that he was with the outstanding pacers of the day. He won a heat and second honors in the $5.000 free-for-all and turn- ed in spectacular victories at Ban- gor. Skowhegan. Topsham, Cornish

L and at Springfield. Mass. At Ro-

chester. N. H. fnlr he went an ex- hibition mile and set up a new track and state record. At Essex Jct.. Vt.. when Earl West 2.0116 lowered the world's record on a half-mile track it was Ray who carried the Pennsylvania speedster to his championship performance, being three times second in the fastest, three-heat race ever staged over a half-mile track.

'I‘lre five winning races of Ray Henley in 1037 carried him to the top of the list among present day race winner. In 85 races through- out his eight years of racing Ray Henley has been returned the win- ner in 58. which is flve more than his nearest rival Joe Bing 2.00, who is now starting out on his thirteenth consecutive year at the races. having recently won at the ice meeting, Ottawa. Canada.

Ray Henley has once again changed hands and will this com- lng year be campaigned through the Maritime Provinces where he should prove a stellar attraction in fast pacing classes. He should lose little time in becoming the first performer in years to win as many as 80 races. As one exam- ines the career of the formerOhio star the thing that stands out as being the most impressive is the number of inst miles that the gelding has recorded over thehnlf- mile ovals. While we have today numerous performers ctrclr year who hit the 2.05 notch over the smaller courses. those who can continue to display this form over an extended period of years‘ are few and ar between. In this re- spect we believe that Ray Henley is the leader of all candidates raced in modern times. Since 1931 when he first started racing he has contributed no less than 51. That first year he was three miles in 2.00 or better. In 1932 he was nine miles in 2.06 or better on B half-mile track. four of them in 2.0a; in i083 he Was seven times in 2.00 or better with one mile in 2.012%. than 13 times better than 2.06 wlgh p, mug in 2.0214’. his best per- formance.

British A.A.A. Would Shun Tokyo Games

(By Scotty Keaton, Associated Press Staff Writer)

LONDON. Feb. 11—The British Amateur Arthletic Association to- launched a boycott against ho ding the 1940 Olmpic Games in Tokyo but there was no immediate indication the movement would draw much support from other European countries.

After the A. A. A.'s general com- mittee had adopted, unanimously. a resolution against British par- ticipatlon in the 1940 games if they are held, as scheduled. in Tokyo. H. F‘. Pam. a member of the com- mltfee. expressed the hope that lothder nations would follow the ea

An Associated Press survey re- vealed no evidence any wide- spread inclination toward the boy- cott movement.

In detail the survey revealed that:

1. Italy. France. Austria and Yugoslavia definitely have decided to send teams to Tokyo;

2. Norway expects trouble rais- ing sufficient funds to send a team while the present conflict between China and Japan con- tinues;

3. Germany is waiting to see how her athletes perform in the Nazi games at Nuremberg Sept. 4;

4. Finland and Denmark are undecided about participation.

Japan removed all doubt as to her intention of holding the games by issuing today detailed rules for the winter and summer Olympics. These were delivered in four languages to Lord Aberdere. who will represent Great Britain at the International Olympic Com mittee meeting in Cairo.

Abegweits Snap Crystals’ i c. Winning Streak Winning F inai Scheduled Game 6-3

Coming from behind a first period lead of their opponents, Abe;- weits last night snapped the four-game winning streak of Summerside Crystals by taking a 8-3 victory from the westerners in the final sched- uled game of the second section of the Island Hockey League.

Outplayed in the first period by the smart Summersidr crew and trailing 3-1 as they left the ice the locals split the margin of their op- ponents to one goal as they accounted for the only scorc of the middh session and then as they kept hammering away with incessant attack: during a. fast third period they shot four goals without :1 reply to win

out by a wide margin.

With both teams minus several regular players the game failed to

live up to the standard of previous

encounters. The first two periods were rather dull and listless but as the Abbies sprang to the attack

.in the final canto the handful of

fans-present were treated to some fast hockey with the rival goalies. Larkins and Stull performing on spectacular fashion to thwart irr- coming attackers.

Leading the snipers last night was Archie McFarlane with two goals and a like number of assists, followed closely by Ab McKinnon who rang up two goals and assist- ed in another for three scoring points. Pud Wlritlock. the hard- est working Abbie player on the ice last night. wound up a frne evening's work with two goals to his credit.

There wasnt a single scoring chalice in the first five minutes of the opening period as both squads nlnyed close-checking. ragged hoc- key.
