Raceway officials take in insisting that the horsemen take over a 31.000000 cut in purses in 1954. On account of the arbitrary and adamant position , of Roosevelt Raceway officials at noon the same day. the 12-hour notice was filed by_ 3.0. A. eccordlnl to U.8.'l‘.A. rules. The following afternoon, Saturday. May 15. eppioximately 500 3.0. A. members met at Turn Hall at Yonkers and. went on rec- ord unanimously as unelterably opposed to the over $1 million cut in purses and told the a.o.a. Ex- ecutive committee that they would not enter their horses until such time as the B.0.A. committee and Roosevelt officials negotiated a satisfactory purse schedule."

At almost the same time Walter S. Gibbons, who has been Race secretary at Roosevelt Raceway ever since its inception and is one of the best known. best liked and best informed horsemen in Amer- ica, resigned his position, no doubt as a protest against the high- handed methods of the manage- ment, and has ‘ been appointed general manager at Foxboro Race- way, Mass. W_eiter Gibbons was born in Halifax and raced horses in the United States and the Maritirnes with great success. As a driver he was most popular and when he went to work with Roose- veltllaceway horseman everywhere were glad to enter there if they had a horse of proper calibre. No man is more widely known in her- ness horse circles than Walter and his emory for names and faces is phenomenal. we regret his leaving Roosevelt but hope it is for the best. because we have a great liking for him and are quite sure that he is the best man in the United States or elsewhere for a position such as general man- ager or race secretary of a meet- ing.

In the mail today our good friend Dick Hegan, New York banker_ very kindly forwarded us a clipping entltied— Roosevelt slashu Expenses. These are ex- tracts:—"The boom days are over at Roosevelt Raceway. In fact, the raceway has slashed expenses by s’I00,000...and wants its employ- ees to take a 25 per cent cut in pay. That's what Alvin Well, sec- retary of the Old Country 'I‘rot- ting Association, said yesterday at a luncheon meeting with a group of horsemen. Weil was attempt- ing to convince the horse owners they should give up their fight for a bigger cut in the perimutuel tak.e But the horsemen were un. convinced. At the insistence of Dan Miller, executive vlce-presi- dent of the United states ’I‘rotting Association. raceway officials and horse owners met this morning sit the raceway for another confer- ence.

"Here are some of the economies which Well said the Raceway al- ready has put into effect: $150,000 has been slashed from the com- missions paid by George Morton Levy of Old Westbury, counsel to the trotting track. 3100.000 has been saved by eliminating experi- mental work...such as gadgets on the starting gate and various elec- tronic and photographic gadgets used to chart and record the races. 3148.000 has been slashed from the advertising budget. $60,000 was cut from the fund set aside for charities. $30,000 was saved by el- iminating ‘Trot Talk'. the track‘: newspaper. $30,000 was saved by making the raceway program lets fancy. 311.000 was saved by elim- inating free van service from Yonkers Raceway to Westbury. Horse owners now have to pay for trucking their horses from one raceway to the other. 327,000 was saved by ordering grooms to buy their own meals...tha track had been feeding the grooms half their meals for free. 850,000 was cut from the entertainment and travel expense budget.

"Well said that contracts with unions-the ushers. ticket seuers and mutuei clerks—permit the raceway to cut pay to union mem. bers 25 per cent because of the 32 per cent slash in the mutuei han- dis ordered by the Legislature. The union leaders asked, ‘What happens to the horsemen?’ Ami. Well said. he has explained that the horsemen would take a sub stantial cut because the track wants them to accept 25 per cent of the parlmutuei take in purses... a figure which would be consider- ably lower than 25 per cent of last year's parimutuei take. The word is that the rinions will accept the pay cut if the horse owners agree to the smaller purses. But if the horse owners won't take a cut- the unions won't either.

"Weil said the track this year will charge a little more for box office seats although the general admission fee will not be increas- ed. A year-ago. the Old County

This year, he es- timated. the revenue will be re- duced ebout two million dollars. ‘We have already saved 8100.000’. he said, ‘and hope to make some money on admissions and box seat sales. The dlﬂcaavaauu between that total and the expected two mil- lion dollar revenue decrease must be saved in purse money‘. well said the Old county stockholders want to make a 6 per cent return on their investment...worth M.- 000.000 basically and about 814,- 000,000, counting all improvements and assets. ‘Present indications‘. he said, ‘are that current planning will net the stockholders e 5 per cent retum'.

Visitors to Montague lest Sun- day hed the privilege of looking over Alfred 1owery's stable and they found Alfred in his usual good humour and quite enthusias- tic over the string. he is preparing for racing this season. He has an ideal spot for training. The horses and equipment are housed in a very commodious barn a short distance from Montague track. Everything was neat and clean and they noticed an attractive house which is occupied by his assistant. with ﬂowers in the windows and everything bright and sparkling. The nearby Montague track _has been kept in good shape and could be gotten ready for a race in short order. Alfred's stable consists of Premier J. Walter, that as a two- year-old last year took the very creditable record oi 2.22 1/5 and had winnings of 8636.15. He will be ready to meet the other good 2-year-olds and possibly one of them may threaten the present provincial record made last season -2.09-made by Jerry's Nightmare at Charlottetown, Aug. 4th.

Real Joe is a 4-year-old pacer by Real Money 2.00%, dam, Hallie Hal, a splendid race mare. Cot- tage Frank, a 2-year-old pacer by Bimcoe Harvester 2.04%, dam. Miss Marjorie Hal. and another 2-year- old pacer that he is readying, Ruthie, by Real Money, dam. a La- copia mare. Leo Harvester is a 5-year-old pacer by Simone Har- vester and his dam is by Watson Peter. He also has the brood mares Vallie Long 2.14 1/5 by Calumet Budlong; Hallie Hal and Minnie Cope, by Lacopia 2.0915, dam, the famous trotting mare of years ago, Miss Belle Rico 2.16%. Belle was purchased by the late W. B. Mac- Arthur from Albert H. Merrill, Meirose_ Mass, and was extremely well bred. She went numerous races against the best trotters in the Marltimes. They often went to five heats and more. The tracks were slow and while her record was 2.16% she would easily go several seconds faster under our system of racing now and our faster tracks. As a matter of fact it was a bar then. The above are all owned by Jack Anneer and Alfred Lowery. The remaining member of the stable is Colonel 311010128. by Calumet Budlong 2.02%. He showed well on the trot last year, the writer timed him miles in better than 2.20, but as he wanted to pace he has Mm turned over to that gait and will make his debut as a slow class pacer this season. He is owned by the Hon. Dougald MacKinnon, Minister of Pubuc Works.

The most talked-of performgnce of the new season's racing to date is the mile at Yonkers Raceway last week by the 4-year-old trot- ting gelding Torch Key, owned by W. J. Alberg of.Glen 1-feed, NY., and driven by that celebrated old- timer from Oklahoma, Warren Dennis He took on the top trot- ters racing in New York and led them home in 2.02 4/5 to establish a new worlds record for 4-year-ole trotting geldings. The former mark of 2.04 was made by Earl's Moody Gin’. We mentioned a couple 0: times recently the fact that the stallion Long Key had bear great- ly overlooked for breeding pur- poses. This is just another in- stance to show that the stetemeni was true. Warren Dennis is th; man who gave Silk Hal her record of 2.09 1/5 and it was from his stable that she was transferred to the present owner. Roy Bevan of Charlottetown.

The second fastest trotting mile of the season was at Buffalo Race- way last week when the 7-year-old gelding Lord Stewart nosed our rag Me in a 85.000 stake, time 2.08 3/5. It was the second festesi trotting mile ever stepped over Buﬂalo Raceway. At the opening of the Maryland Circuit William E. Miller's Rosecroft Raceway ihr Ohio owned mare Lady Dunn. that took a record last fall at Lexing- ton, Ky. of 2.00 4/5 and won ihr Sheppard Memorial Stake in 2.0.’. 3/5. The star of the opening there was Newport Chief 1.59 3/5. TI‘IIl 4-year-old stallion driven by De. Cameron, races for Octave Blakt and although the track was muddy he landed the Free For All Pace heading such top stars as Meadow

2.00 1/5.

Harry Coleman left the Brock- lon Fair lrounds about ten days ago for last Saturday's opening night meeting at Cumberland, Me He has as usual a strong stable but the biggest stable awaiting that opening is being managed by Bill 1-lawn of Bedford, N. H. He has 20 with the old standby Ply Volo 2.00 1/5 as star of the group.

We deeply regret to learn of a serious accident that happened to Frank 1... Wiswall_ Honorary Bern retary and counsel of the United states ‘netting Association. Mr Wlswall was driving a 3-year-old trotter when the horse in front or him made a break and bore to the right. The two training carts coi- lided and Mr. Wlswall was hurled to the track, received a fractured vertebra, contusion: of the nose and forehead and multiple bruises He is at present a patient in the Saralnga hospital. Mr. Wiswal. has been one of the biggest fac- tors in formulating the rules and regulations of the United states Trotting Auociation and has given of his services extensively smre its formation in 1930. We vrusl that his injuries will not prove as

serious as expected and that he will soon be‘ercund with his sled
