Both Somerville and Taylor were

Taylor and Vickers played.a sen- sational battle, all square after the morning 18 and always within striking distance of each other.
Both semi-finals brought out galleries that sloshed through rain nearly all day, and peered at the finishes through a thick fog that rolled over the Aucastcr course.

Leonard won the 35th with a

Sandy, playing perfectly, was on in two and two putted for a D8-I' f0l1l°- Leonard‘s putt failed and he walked over io Somerville with outstretched hand,

League champions, have shown up in a. surprising manner. Hardly given a. chance at the start, the team, under the skilful guidance of Tommy McFarlane has been throwing up a defence that is hard to penetrate and although their stickwork has been rather wcak nevertheless have been getting hits where they count most; and on top, of all this display a fighting spirit that makes them dangerous in ev- ery game until the final out has been called. Today they are one of the most feared teams in the league and just have to be reck- oned with when the winners are being picked.
C U l
I-TILE Tl-IE GROCERS have
been the big surprise the defending champions. the
Falcons are thc real disappoint- ment. Failure of the "Birds" to display nnything like their last season’s form has sent them to the bottom of the league and nn- less they take a grip on them- selves very soon little hope is held bl' their followers that they will be able to retain their title.

BISLEY CAMP, England, June
21-The clans are alreadys gather- ing from all over the Empire for the National Rifle Association’s 72nd annual meeting opening July 8 when the Empires keenest mili- tary shots match nerve and experi- ence over all ranges.
Canadafs team, which should be
one of the strongest the Dominion has ever sent, a formidable com- bination of brilliancy and experi- ence, hopes not only to match the Dominlon's wonderful record last year but to excel it, and possibly again capture the Kings Prize, the classic for marksmen. The last cc- caslon for Canada was in 1929 when Lt.-Col. R, M. Blair of Vancouver scored the blue ribbon of Empire marksmanship.
This being the Silver Jubilee year
of the King, the Empire meeting over Blsley‘s far-spreading ranges takes on a new note, The consfesi- tion oi the military teams from all parts of the Empire in some meas- ure will compensate for the fact that the Emplrc's fighting services abroad were not represented dur- ing the Jubilee celebrations.
The coronation year. 1911. was
not one of Ca.uada's Zrehll YEHYS M Eisley, though they won the Mac- kinnon Challenge Cup on that oc- casion, Since then however the men from the Dominion have become most prominent of the overseas in- vaders, and if they can 50 On Wh0!`€ they left off in 1934 it should be almost a clean sweep for C_ana_da.

Canadian Team Has Hopes For King’s Prize And
A Repeat Of Last Year's Good Record.
i
¢
For a year ago, with much the
same outfit as is on the way Over. the Canadians cleaned up, with young Lieut. P. J. Martinson of La Tuque, Quebec, very much to the forefront. In team prizes, the Can- adians regained the Kolapore Cup from the Mother- Country and they regained the Ma/:kinnon Challenge Cup from Scotland. These are the two greatest of team shoots for marksmen.
In the two big aggregates, Mart-
inson won the All-Comers outright with a magnificent total of 331 out of 340. and he tied with Major
sharlies Bunch, formerly R. A. F. o lead the Grand Aggregate, an even more varied test. ‘
In the individual shoots a year
ago Canada was at the top on most occasions, to lose many prizes in tie shoot-offs. But Martinson won the bronze medal in the King’s Prize; Sergeant James Borland of Toronto won the Prince of Wales Prize, second only to tla'-. Kings and Martinson won the Stock Ex- change Cup.
And while they are determined to
hold the two great team prizes. the Kolapore and Mackinnon, the Canadians in this Silver Jubilee year are even more intent on get- ting Canadivs seventh victory in the Kings. Their last was in 1929, in a, memorable shoot-off in which Lt.-Col. R. M. Blair of Vancouver nosed out Lieut. Desmond Burke of Ottawa, who won the classic him- self in 1924.

Frank Boucher who was pre-

"I think you will agree that 1 have had more than my share of the cup," said the gentlemanly Boucher. "That is just the sort of sporting thing that Frank would do,” stated Mr. Calder. He added that t.he dark-haired stick hand- ling wizard was one of the finest sportsmen in the history of hockey. Boucher first won the trophy in the 1927-28 season and captured it every year after that with the ex- ception of 1981-32 when Joe Primesu of the Maple Leafs was the winner.
A sports writer who knows
Boucher intimately says-“Do not imagine hc does not become peeved on occasion: he does. He resents being singled out for pimishment but as he explains it, 'I get terribly angry but I start counting and than I know it would be small town stuff to retaliate so I grin and bear it and that is why people labor under the impression that I should win the cup."‘

Councillor B. Roy Holman re- turned from a motor trip to the U. S. A. While in Boston he attended the racing at the Metropolitan Dri- ving club, Charles River Speedway. Saturday afternoon. The race com- mittee had two Prince Edward Ls- ianders on it, George R. McDonald and Dr. F. W. Christopher. Coun- cillor Holman had an honored seat in the Judges Stand alongside of Dr. Christopher, who was officiat- ing as Judge. ,
The Class D. Trot was the fast-
est of the afternoon, Estelle D. trimming Don Belwin 2.03 1-4 in -both heats, time 2.15, 2.17. The Clam E. Trot and Pace was won by Na.- poleon Star 2.06 3-4, in straight heats, best time 2.16 8-4. Donnie Steele drove in two of the races.
in many ways the most remark-
able brood mare the world has ever known, died in Kentucky a few weeks ago, Nervola Belle, a. daugh- ter of Nervola 2.041/1 and Josephine Knight. She is credited with 12 record holders, six of which trotted to rec- ords ranging from 2.02 to 2.08 8-4. These are Peter Volo 2.02, The Great Volo 2.02 1-4, Volga (3) 2.01 1-2, The Great Miss Morris 2.07 1-4, Axvoio 2.07 3-4 and Worthy Volo (2) 2.08 3-4.
The most notable were Peter Volo
2.02 and Volga. (3) 2.04 1-12. both of which were undefeated in all of their futurlty engagements and earned world's championship hon- ors, Peter Volo being a. world's champion as a. yearling, two, three and four year old, and Volga at- taining the heights of her age, gait and sex when three.
Nervola Belle is credited with five
speed siring sons, their total rec- ord holders numbering over 500 and mon" than 200 of the latter are in the 2.10 list. The leaders is of course Peter Volo 2.02 and he is indeed a standout over any stallion of the past and present as a. sire of ex* treme spaed, having seven in the two-minute group, 58 in 2.08 and 186 in 2.10.
Five of Nervola Belles daughters
arc credited with 30 record hold- ers. 17 being in the 2.10 list and 8 in the 2.05. ln the third gener- ation she is also represented by fu- turity winners and extreme speed exponents such as Brevere (3) 2.03. Alma lee (4) 2.04 3-4 and Hoyle (2) 2.06.
There have been twelve mares
which have produced more record holders than Nervoln Belle, like- wim a number which are credited with more sons and daughters which attain some distinction. but when one considers quality and ac- complishment of the various mat- rons and their breeding on prcciivi- ties, Nervola Belle indeed stands supreme.

The unfavorable Jeather curtail-
ed operations at. the Charlottetown Driving Park track ,the past week. The best workouts arc .a mile in 2.19 by Lusty Frisco with the lash quarter in 31 1-2 seconds. 'I‘he pac- er Winnie Winkle 2.12 1-2 stepped in about the same notch". Besides the above there were a. lot of miles trained in from 2.25 to 2.35 with fast bmshes at the end. There is an absence, however, of the com- petitive workouts that were so in- teresting years ago when two or moro aged fast record horses would: hook up in duels of speed. _ `
There are fuliyas many horses
in trainhzg as other years, perhaps more, but the majority eonsists"of two and three yearolds lured. an 'by the prospect of being futuriiry calibre by the time the Prince Ed- ward Island futuriiips arc raced. Tho most noteworthy fact in regard to these is that they seem to be better mannered, better gaitcd and -better developed by far than Wits of similar ages that we have seen some years ago. Like the Kentucky horsemen our Islander has learned how to feed for size and strength and the good sires and good bgooci mares have given us colts anddil- lies that take innruction more quickly and learn to trot more eas- ily than those of other years.
Yesterday morning we had a very
interesting talk with Councillor B. Roy Holman, whom we mentioned as having been a. guest at the Met- ropolitan Speedway while on a re- cent; visit to Boston. Like every other Islander that mccls George McDonald or Dr. F. W. Christopher “B. Roy” came home with glowing accounts of their friendship and hospitality.
"Islanders were as thick as flies"
said Roy. "I was stopped three times in as many blocks by chaps that came out and said they knew me, called me by name and were tickled pink io shake hands with a Spud Islander. I thought as I sat inthe Judges Stand at the Speedway, how unique it was for three Islandcrs to he tlicre. tivo 0*’ them officials."
