The eight-year-old pacer Filbert 2.09, by Volation, has been sold by Walter liennessey to Ajou Content of Rimotiski, Que., and will leave by express car Friday morning for that destination. Last year Filbert made 27 starts. was live times first, three times second and nine times tliirci. winning close to 31,000, Her all time winnings are 57,904.55. making her eligible to the 2.16 pace. She should be a. good winner in her new environment. Here she met a lot of fast pagers and held

her own. When her racing days are over she will be a valuable brood mare.

Henry U'L)onnell, Springhill. N.s., who for several years was trainer of the Letcher stable and drove Jennie Kalmuck 2.10 W5. will, we understand, be in drivci”s fogs again tlils year.

Earl Murray, Carleton siding, has sold a very promising pacing colt to John Harkness. Summerside. He is by Calumet Budlong and his dam is by Kalmuck 2.15!-'.x. Every- one in Carleton and vicinity liked this colt and many predict that he will be a top pacer with Mr. Hark- nrss' handling. Earl has more com- int; speed in the two-y:ar-old filly by Pagliacci 15.09!-1 that he is ex. orcising. Her dam was by Bellini Scott 2.U9'-'.- and her gran- dam by Captain Aubrey 2071.5.

Some time iigo we mentioned that Walter 5. Found. Merced. Cai., lor- merly of New London, who has owned many race horses in the past - one of them a two-minute pacer - has. according to the Cal- ifornia papers. a most promising pacer in the iive-year-old Patrick Primrose, that started six times and won all his races and was ex- pected to be a winner at the Bay Meadows meeting. That expecta- lion proved correct and Patrick Primrose vanquished a field of seven very simply over a slow track in 2.05 US. Big offers have been made for hlni and he is considered the most promising pacer in Cali-

fornia today. We are indeed glad that Walter has another good one. with perfect manners. youth and

Fred Cameron. on: of the great- est harness horse trainers and drivers the Marltimes ever pro- duced. died at the Prince Edward Island Hospital ezrly this week. He had been in good health until about a year ago and had recently undergone two operations. Almost lo the lost his mind was clear and his memory excellent and it was a pleasure to come in contact with him and hear him tell stories of horses he had driven or raced against and incidents connected with the turf: After training and driving horses in Charlottetown for several years and racing them for such owners as Ullle Long and Hooper Home, in 1910 he went west and took a. position as trainer with the Hopper Stock Farm at Indianola. Indiana, the principal stallatioh at which farm was Ex- pedition, the son of Alierton 2.0952, that,C. W. Williams had bred and raised together with Axtell 3, 2.12- 12. 1 World's record when made.

Fred was well liked by the own- er and could have continued there. but a longing for his home and friends brought, him back to this Province in the fall of 1912. bring- ing with him the blind stallion Dingola. This horse he receved as part payment for wages and he developed him into a perfect pac- er and sold him for a long price. After winning victories in the Mar- ltimes, at Halifax and Fredericton Exhibitions, he went .to the stable of Walter Cox. where he took 9. record of 2.05',-'.- on a mile track.

The financial condition of the Islanders Hockey Club, the number one question on the minds of the Club's supporters and members for! the past six months, still remains. a question mark. The annual meet- ing of the club. which was to have been held last night, was adjourn- ed for one week when Club Presid- ent Dr. F. C. Dougnn announced that the report was not fully pre- pared and that Ralph Manning, the Club secretary was not avail- able to give the report. Ralph had to attend a convention of student, charlered accountants and thus was unable to be present for the all-lm- portant meeting.

. o n

The meeting will now be held next Friday night, only two days before the June 29 meeting of the Maritime Major Hockey League Clubs. Thzre will be a lot of bus- iness lo be transacted at that meet- ing next Friday and before it is concluded a decision will have to be handed down about whether or not Charlottetown, intends or is able to string along willi the other Maritime centres in big-time hoc- key. The officials of the M. M.I-i. L. will be expecting a definite answer

on the 29th. and such an answer will depend upon the financial statement.

And while on the question oi financial problcms it might be well to recall the financial plight of some of the other M. M.H.L. Cen- tres. Last season the Glace Bay Miners dropped close to sl.'l,00l)., The Miners had 36,000 at the start of the season and ended up with a s8,ll00 deficit. The Sydney Mil- lionaires report that they are only 37,000 in the red and the report s undoubtedly right but the Mills lost more than 37.000 last year. A subscription campaign reportedly' netted them another si0,U(l0. The Moncton Hawks dropped 516,000 from mid-January until the end of the league and the Saint Jolm Beavers report that they lost be- tween sl(l,0()(l and sl2,000 for the season.

Despite these figures we venture to Dredict that there will be Major Hockey in the Maritimes again next winter. Four of last year's main- land clubs. Halifax. Glace Bay. Sydney and Saint John are willing to go along in a Maritime League. By the time September rolls around Moncton will probably be willing to Start again. The clubs will not want to switch from Major hockey to Allan Cun because this would mean loslnlz the rights to the players which they now have under con- tract. If they do change 2!. would just; result in the better players go- ing to the Quebec League and the remainder coming back to the Mar- itimes for the same salaries that they would be getting it they were playing Major hockcv here.

Whether Major hockey can be run on a profitable basis here is another thing. There 1' no teach- er like experience and no doubt the club heads learned a lot of lessons last year. Efforts will be made to cut players' salaries. ref- crees' expenses and also travelling costs. Along with this of course there will have to be a cut in the

01' -- games and the amount of travelling. Undoubt- edly there can be fl. reduction in the expense accounts.

One man who is busy regarding next year's hockey is Bud Poilc. former coach of (he Glace Bay Miners. Polle, who will be going to Edmonton next year, was in conference with Tommy Ivan of the Detroit Red Wings this week. After the meeting he was quizzed by a Toronto sports writer about how things turned out and he re- plied. "Oh. he's going to give me goalie Terry Sawchuck and Gordie Howe for my Edmonton clirb." Aub- rey Kelzer in the Sydney Post Record writes. "No doubt Glace Bay is looking to Bud for some help after Edmonton is handled."

The Charlottetown Junior Ab- bies, who specialize in winning ball games by one run, won another squcaker last night as they edged the Maritime Central Airways '1-8 in a seven-inning Island League game at Memorial Field

Short stop "Duck" MacLeod scored the winning run for the Ab- iiies in the top of the seventh, slid- lng home under Lorne Hennessey's peg from second base. MacLeod scored when M: C A. catcher Ar- nold Maccallum fired to second attempting to catch Joe Coyle go- ing down from first.

A five run fifth inning uprising by M.C.A. almost cost the Abbies the ball game The Abbles led 5-1 going into the last of the fifth but before the liming was completed it was a 6-6 ball game as the M.C. A. bats came to life.

Junior starter Jackie Burke was chased from the mound during the fifth after he had surrendered long doubles to Freddy Keillor and Lefty MacAleer. a single to Joe Pineiiu and a walk to Lorne Hen- nessey.

His successor Lorne MacDoui.'- all lasted only one third of an in- hing as MacKlnnon and Matheson lashed out singles. "Junior" Mac- Leod relieved MlacDougall, issued a walk to Kenny Wilson and then fanned Keillor to end the inning MacLeod remained to win the ball game for the Abbics.

”Lefty" MacAleer went all the way for Maritime Central Airways and pitched good ball after a shaky first inning. Poor support him the ball game as his mates committed eight errors with the result that the Abbles SF-Ored only three earned runs.

second baseman Brian Lewis drove in four runs for the Juniors although he collected only one double in four trips to the plate Len-ls got on base three times, however, with the aid of two er- tors.

A crack team of Nova Scotla rlflemen will attempt to defend their Maritime title today in the Inter-Maritime Rifle Match which gets underway atten.o'clockat the Squaw Point Range near Tea Hill. The Nova scotians won the Maritime title last year with an aggregate of 796. the third highest aggregate ever made in the 52 occasions that teams from the three Maritime Provinces have competed against one another.

Shooting with the Nova Scotisns will be Miss Elsie Strong, who at 18 is one of the Maritime's best. marksmen. Her father, Gunner C. C. Strong is also a member of the Nova Scotia team.

The highest aggregate made to date in the Inter-Maritime meet is 804 which was posted by a New Brunswick team. The next highest is 802 by a Prince Edward Island team.

The Inter-Maritime meet was inaugurated in 1588 and with the exception of the war years has been carried on ever since. Prince Edward Island teams captured the top awards from the end of world War 11 until last year when Nova Scotia. won.

Following are the members of the Prince Edward Island team: Capt. A. J. Mccabe, Capt. E. R. Burke, Lt. P. T. Hooper, Capt. R. A. Mccabe, Sgt. G. A. Coies; Lt. G. .1. Rogers. Lt. B. B. Jones and cpl. A. M. Johnston. Team captain is C.P.0. Bowles and Sgt P. J I-andrlgan will act as coach.

It seems that theTappeal through this column for owners of hunting dogs to keep their dogs under con- trol during the spring and Bum- mer months, in most instances at least, has fallen upon deaf cars. In- cidentally a dog has not necessarily got to be of hunting strain, or hunt- ing strain cross. to be 013-55991 3-'5 A hunting dog. I have seen collie dogs that were the worst killers imagmr able on any kind of Slime "' 75”” bits, young upland game birds or waterfowl.

. . . About twenty years ago I saw two coliies on an East River marsh decimate a brood of young black duck in short order. If I hadn't observed them at the start of the foray I wouldn't have known what breed they were for in a few minu- tes they were so plastered with marsh mud on: was only certain they were dogs and nothing else. They were on the opposite side of the river and paid no need to my shouting, if they even heard it. Through field glasses I saw them pull 3 ducklings to pieces. I'll gladly have given twenty dollars at the moment to have had my 22 Cal B.S.A. in hand. The average collie is a silent trailer and they do more hunting then one is 115.- ually aware. . .
