Heathierbell Dispiaces Own Former Mark In Winning

2.I5 Class; Fa

Lowerinz skies and light mists of

rain could not keep away upwards

pf 1,200 race fans who gathered at Montague track yesterday after- noon to witness the events postpon- ad from Wednesday. Almost up

untu the moment the first heat was

called heavy Cbllds hung over the track and seemed to presage a. dc- luge, but they gradually drifted gway and when the first heat was "on" the sun was “smilin’ tliru."

It was a gooii—humored and en- thusiastic crowd who had been drawn by the magnet of fast horses with clever and experienced driv- ers. some of the best steeds in the Maritime‘: were to strut their stuff, including horses that had recently won in the fastest company, such as 1VDcElwyn the Great, 2.09 1-2, Star G., 2.09, and Hanover Courier, 2.09. These were pitted together with four other pacers and a trot- l.er—l-Ieatnerbell 2.10, in three of the most thrilling heats seen on a. local speedway for some years.

The 2.16 trot with seven well matched horses was a. pretty event to watch and as Lusty Frisco crossed the line each trip with a little to spare he was greeted with great applause.

The 2.24 trot and pace was con- ceded to Peter Onward 2.13 3-4,and he came through the first two trips but in the third acted badly and Soviet 2.12 1-2, won out with Leta Kalmuck right on his heels.

The highlight of the day. how- Iver, was the performance of the tmtter I-leatherbell, making his first start under new ownership. 1:, also marked the re-appearance in apro- fessional race of owner-driver Col- onel Dan MacKinnon. Three years ago he retired from the turf, but last fall succumbed to temptation when Heaiherbell was set up at auctisn. Heatherbell and owner made history yesterday. staging a trotting performance that will be talked of for a. long time.

In the first heat getting away in the back tier he had to make up a lot of territory. but mowed down opponent after opponent until fin- ally he got. in the lead, finishing the mile in a great rlrive, wiiiiiing from Mcmwyn the Great in 2111-4 o- new track rec;rd. displacing the 2.11 1-2 made by iieatherheii sep- tember 24th, 1932.

In the second heat. the fight was carried to I-Ieatherbeii by Ross K.. who put up a great contest and forced Kcatherbell to again lower the record to 2.11 flat. In the third heat Star G. got away flying, grab- bed the pale and held the‘ iczidpasi the quarter, then 1-Icnthcrbcll raced to t-he front, but in the last end of the mile Star G. was coming very fast and finished on his pad, time 2.10 3-4, again lowering the track recard.

TIIXIS TEAM cum up no sitiiaui

BUMZMEIRASIDE, P. E. I., July 16 —The Presbyterian Tuxis took a strangle hold on the second section of the Junior league last night by nosing out the faltering C, Y, M. L. nine by an 8-5 score for their second straight victory, seemingly a different team altogether than that which p'ayed in the first sec- _tion the Tuxis slugged out a 7-0 win over the league leaders, Jack's Juniors, on Monday and came right back to nose out the highly touted C. Y. M. L. squad last night.

Ray Arsenault, lanky pitcher for the Tuxis, was the star of the ga.me, he struck out 9 batters, allowed 5 scattered hits and batted in three runs with a double and triple in 5 trips to the plate. In only two lniiings did any more than 3 bat- ters face him the fifth and sixth when the C. Y‘. M. L. awoke mo- mentarily from their lethargy to score 5 runs on 4 singles, a triple, a dead bail and 3 costly errors by the Tuxis infield. The Tuxis made their big inning the second when they scored 5 runs on the strength of 3 singles, a. double, a walk and 2 C. Y. M. L. errors, “Spee" Phil- lips. Tuxis shortstop, drove out 3 singles in 5 attempts in bat in 3 runs.

This evening the intermediates will stage a practice in preparation for an anticipated game with the Dodgers next week, this weeks fix- ture having been rained out. As many as possible are 1 quested to turn out.

THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN

The

The stage is set and tonight at 13.30 o'clock the cry will be “on with the show" with George Leslie of Soul-is and Stan Biggar of Char- lottetown playing the leading roles in what promises to be a gruelling close battle for heavyweight. boxing hcnors of Prince Edward Island. The bout is scheduled for 15 rounds or law and much emphasis lately is being placed on the "less" pert.

Not for a long time have twosuch

big and evenly matched. men met in an Island ring. Tape measurements show very little difference in their physical makeups and their condi- tion is on a. par. Both came out of their training grinds with nary a. mark and both are determined on ending the battle as quickly as p:s- sible. Odds are even and the out- come is so uncertain that very lit- tie money is being displayed by the backers of either man. But despite this the fight has Island boxing followers enthused to a high de- gree and with the advance sale of tickets going like “hotca.kes" indi- cations are that tonight the Forum will seat an even larger crowd than that which attended the Leslie- Binns scrap. So fans, there is the setup. Thrills should czme at a dime a dozen when the two big boys, weighing over 400 pounds between them, start throwing punches at each other. From this comer it appears as if the result will hinge entirely on what boy can hit the hardest. In every other respect they are even and even in punching there seems very little difference. Leslie packed plenty of power when we watched him working Wednesday and yesterday morning Bigger dis- played a wicked right cross that is apt to cause firewcrks if it lands on the button.

Anyway, tonight will tell the tale. The fighters have done everything in their power to be in A-1 condi- tion for the encounter. Both are

Battle

set for the scrap of their lfveswith neither underrating the other and the boy that is defeated will have no nlibis to offer. That was made iiulle plain by both fighters as they Wound up their training.

While the main event will natur- ally hold the spotlight the other

three fights on the card will also provide plenty of fireworks. Inthe semi-final Leo Kelly, clever and weiter meets Dave McNeil of Freetown. Scheduled for

hard-hitting eight rounds this bout will likely

tenninate in a knockout as both fighters are the type that mix it

from the start.

Then there is the lightweight title bout between Jimmy Mclnnis, one of the cleverest of Island mitt-slin-

gers and Young Bruce Mccallum, another fight that promises action, while starting the show is a "grudge" scrap between Battling Jim Stewart and Rcughhouse Ben- nett. These two boys have been

engaging in private battles for a. long while and on the advice of some of their followers have decided to settle their differences for all

time inside the squared circle.

Here is how Leslie and Bigger shape up for their bout tonight at the Forum for the heavyweight title of the Province.
