Rankin MaoLalne. wall known auto dealer and horseman. return- ed a few days ago from a trip to New Glasgow. Sydney, North Syd- ney and other points. l-le said the New Glasgow traok is in great shape with a. lot of horses working over it and that Tip Abbe 2.05% bu developed into a. trickster, turning on the water tarp and helping himself frequently through the day. Rankin said it was great fun to watch his antics. The Blue Acres race track which has been newly OOXl-Slflwikd. is only a short distance from the New Glasgow brook and workmen are making frantic efforts to have it ready for the June meeting. It is beauti- fully situated and will no doubt be a popular racing centre. He watch- ed the races at North Sydney last week and said they were certainly stepping for so early in the season, with l. dead heat hallf in 1.04. Two new horses have been brought in from Quebec by Harrv Hirsch who sold Marylin Chief 3, 2.06 to Leo bdoNsmaa-a. a month 88°. The Syd- ney race track which was built at a coat of over $100,000 is expected to draw an eru-mous attendance for their big July meeting and great preparations are beind made for a mon celebration.

Franklyn Safford of Keene. N. I-L, who races the Sullivan and Mawhinney stable and others. has the record nlnnber of horses of any driver in the USA. under his charge-Si head at Roosevelt Raceway. The fastest horses being trained and raced at Roosevelt Raceway are Jimmie creed 2. 2.00%, pacer. and The Colorlers Lady 2.00, trotter. Owners, driv- ers. trainers. caretakers and ev- eryone connected with Roosevelt Raceway have to be photographed and flngerprinted under the new system of identification installed by Alden Gray, assistant to the chairman of the board. Some the owners objected strenuously to being photographed but they were told if they wished to get in the paddock when their horses were racing they had to get into the chair and have the era click. One of the oddities racing this season is that Leon Toole, who drove Robert Hanover to victory

turned him out for the entire year year of 1046 when he went lame. won the opening dash of the meetirllf in 1040. ._Q__

WASHINGTON‘, June 7-0!!!- Mlckey Vernon, the major Laguea’ leading hitter, isn't fattening up st_the ex use of so-so hurlern- hes swatt rig the best in the game at a .100 clip. ‘

Statisticians dug into the day- by-da record of the stringbean Wash ngton flrataacker today and disfovered that:

Efllflll. stubbornly staying in the -3B5-t0--400 bracket. has batted an even .400 against Cleveland's Bob Feller and Detroit's Hal New- houser. probably baseball's two ton pitchers.

You can count in Boston's‘ fox Hughson and Dave Ferrln, New Yorke Red Buffing and Chicago's Tefl Lyme, and Vernon's average all l .

In 35 ‘times at bat against those _ l4

stand-outs, Vernon has made hits

But unlike Boston's Ted Wil- liams and New York's Joe Di- Maggie, who were expected to set the hitting pace, Vernon so far has "0! fflxhtened oppoalnfi huriers into Walkins _ him rather than llltcllillil t0 him the pinches.

He has drawn only five bases on balls-—thls despite his 14 doubles, "W" lrlplell. ive home runs und 29 runs batted in.
