The National Trotting A30‘;- lation, great law giver of the har- ness horse sport ' established in 1876, is no more. It, the Union Trotting Association and the Am- erican Trottnig Register Associat- ion, have been absorbed into the new United States 'I‘rotttng Assoc- iation, The merger took place when representatives of these or- ganizations met at Columbus, Ohio; last Friday and Saturday. The new turf body will govern a- bout 80 per cent of the harness horse tracks in the United States and Canada.

The amalgamation was the re- sult ohearnest efforts on the part d!’ the best elements connected with the sport who are desirous improving it, encouraging the breeding and developmentcf trottera and pac- ers and popularlzing the harness horse with the general public. The rules have been gone over, revised and simplified so as to make them easily understandable and a lic- able. Among the changes no is that eligibility and classifications will be based on net race earnings instead of the gross as in the past; and that every driver must be lic- ensed before being permitted to H108.

Vice-President Wiswall. following his selection said:-

“For the first time in the history of harness racing is coun- try, we are welding together in one united or anlzation all the elemems inte ested in the sport, heretofore our sport has suffered from lack of co-ordination of ei- fort of the various ted groups. But in a single reorganizat- ion with one united eiiort. with democratic and genuine self-gov- eminent, for the first time we

have the opportunity to help each

other in the attainment oi our single objective.

“That objective is to teach the American public to appreciate the sport as develo d in America, to become interesed in the joy of participation as well as the enter- tainment value of harness racing. Incident to this purpose we must. by the promulgation and enforce- ment of rules and regulations in- sure to the public the conduct oi the sport on a hi h plane which

will merit coutinu public patron- age."

As far as the Maritimu are concerned their racing piobleuis

will be dealt. with the same as formerly, from Hartford, Con- nrcticut, where Roger Duncan, former secretary of the National ‘rrottlnr: Association, will be “in, command.

The Pi-esideR-elect is G. W. Rltienour of Plkcton, Ohio, and the Vice-President is Frank L.

ll/lswall of Albany, N. Y.

Other offimrs are, vice presid- entw, Lawrence Sheppard oi Han- over. Penn; E. E. Irwin oi Spring- field, Ill.; and Andy Adams of Lltcnrleld. Mich; treasurer, Dun- bar. W. Bostwick oi Aiken, B. 0., and asistant to Wiswall, Henry Knauf of Laud, Ill.

The executive committee is composed of T. A. Blllingsley of Greenfield. 0.; Leo McNamara of Indianapolis. Ind: C. B. Affler- baugh oi Pomona, Calit: Everett Osborn of Valley Center, Kan; E. E. Irwin oi Springfield, Ili.; E. R. Flagg of Oshkosh, Wis.: Dunbar W. Bostwick of Aiken. S. 0.: Lawrence Sheppard Penn; E. Roland Harriman of New York; R. . field. Me; and Lieut. Col. D. A. llvicKinnon of Charlottetown, P. E.

The new rule that net earnings will be entered on a horse's win- race card instead of ss earn- ings. is a. splendid move and will be much appreciated by secretaries of tracks and horsemen too, as the old rule led to a greet deal of con- fusion. Several times the writer suggested the’ change to the late W. H. Gocher. secretary of the National ‘Trotting Association, but fiocher could not get it canted. The licensing oi drivers is anoth- er commendable move because it

The last number of The Horse- man and Fair World, Indianap- olis, has a writs-up of Vic Flem- ing, Canadian driver who was bom at Dundes, Ontario on Christmas Day 1889. and who, it states, is Bante Claus! greatest gift to the sport of hamess horse racing. En- umerating his many wonderful feats of hcisemanship commencing with his placing of the seven- year-old Louis Grattim in the invo- minute list in i920 and of his feet 1n giving a record of 150 1-2 to the four-year-oid trotter Mr. Elwyn in 1929, it follows with his of victories with

remarkable es - the great Canadian pacer Grattan ‘

Bars. We quote:-

"Early in the training season of 1929 the highly touted pacer Grat- tan Bars was placed in Vic's nands to be prepared for the comin season. It must be remember that. 1928 was the year of big stakes for pacers. The rattan horse was named in all of them and the combination worked one hundred per cent as Vic won wi

many weeks and gave him a record of 1.59 1-2 his third to enter the charmed circle. Vic also won a $10,000 stake with Grattsn Bars the same season.

Not only is Vic Fleming a great trainer and driver but he posses- ses many other virtues, Always a gentleman, always fair with his fellow drivers and his numerous owners, he is regarded by his le- gion of friends as a valuable asset to our greet sport."

A. s. Beaulieu, who wrote the above account of the popular Vic, in his» introduction said: "Flem- ing's first professional race was driven at Detroit in the Old Mich- igan short ship circuit meeting in the spring of i915, and ‘it was here that he formed the idea. of win- ning races. In this first race he had the mount behind the Can- adian ovmed gelding Billy Brino 2.01 1-4 by wifa Brino Jr., driving him to a straight victory." The writer has to correct Mr. Beaulieu anent Vic's eta-rt. He star-ted driving horses in 1914 and at the wlntcr ice races held be- tween Christmas and New Year's at Toronto. drove professionally tn several of the events. In one of them, the 2.19 pace, he was up be- hind Billy Brino. Other contest- ants were Day spring with Bil McDowell, Tonego, and Helen driven by the writer, as well as other horses. After a few scores the ones named went to the first turn Sn high. When we hit the turn was directly behind Flem- ing when he cut over and his sul- ky took the legs from under Day

. Both horses and drivers went down, Tonego got into the mixup, Helen R. was in the clear and away to a good start.

The next spring - 1915 - Vic drove Billy Brine to a record of 2.07 l-c at a. large‘ amount of money in stakes and purses. Day

won a lot of races and next win- ter set up a new world's record for a er on ice over a mile .10 i-2. Tonego won eight western Canada a record of 2.11 1-4. Helen R. won five races in two weeks at Halifax and Char- lottetown exhibitions. Ernie Mc- tague and Johnny Conroy will wel remember that campaign on the, ice between Christmas and New Year's. 1914.

It was a source of pleasure to all who knew Colonel Ruppert and Babe Ruth learn the once great slugger the Yankees was at the Colonel's bedside shortly before his death, and that Ruppert called him "Babe" affectionately for the first, and only time in his life. The Babes name will ever be linked with the rise of the Yankees.
