Extra Heat

In Great Day’s Racing

___.i__

Montague furnished a racing bill de luxe for the upwards of 3,000 and enclosures yesterday afternoon ' in witness the four events that Secretary George McIntyre provided. No doubt the attendance would have been greater but for the threaten- ing clouds which hovered around from twelve o'clock until two, then dispersed after letting a. few drops of rain fall on the course. Then the

nee-goers who crowded the stand

more beautiful afternoon for racing

could not he desired. The four events were run ofl very well indeed, there being practically no waits, with the program finished at six o‘. dock, concluding with an extra heat in the 2.14 Trot.

The races provided quite anum- be)’ of upscti»; for instance the 2.14 ‘not was practically conceded to Lusty Frisco 2.071., but Helen D., owned by Urban Gillis, Miscouche, rang in ii tip top performance in me first hcat, reducing her record mm 2.14 to 212'»; in winning the heat from Lusty Frisco by half a length. In the second heat Lusty had a close call to win from Har- vest Melody. The third heat was the real upset with Calumet Bee, who weni away in fifth position but quickly grabbed the pole, mak- ing every post a winning one and crushing half a length ahead of uisty. The three heat winners- Calumet lice. Lusty Frisco and ‘Helen D-under the rules had to race another heat to determine the winner. Calumet Bee won after ltaving otI Lusty Frisco all the int quarter mile. It was a popu- lsr win and Driver McKenna also time in for considerable applause for his good work.

Tl-IE 2.18 PACE demonstrated that Josie the Great can finish as well as go away. as she came the last quarters of the first two heats in 32 seconds, stepping both miles in 2.10, lowering her record by three and one-half seconds and being the first trotter or pacer to enter the 2.10 list on Prince Ed- ward Island this year. ,

In the first; heat the opposition line from Hanover Courier who was driven by Pat McKenna, and finished at Josies wheel. In the second heat Trixie Volo was pac- llig a storm and was a very good newnd, probably better than her record of 2.11 The third heat it was MCEIWYII the Great, Frank Callbacks good pacer that forced Josie to pace in 2.10%. Johnny Oonroy had a great hand from the lpectators for his brilliant work with Josie.

THE 2.15 TROT AND PACE was perhaps the most talked-of raceof the day and expected to be a. real ripper with the track record of 2.01%. made by Patrick Direct in i934. supposedly 1n danger. This proved incorrect, nobody hitting up a fast enough pace in the first hall to turn in a record perform- ance. \ Signal senator won the first heat, but the driver of Plucky Scott claimed interference on the first turn and the Judges set the Senator horse back to third place. awarding the heat to Abner T. Cissy. who had finished second, Ind placing Plucky Scott second. The finish was close between Big- nal Senator and Abner '1‘. Clegg. but thc Senator had a neck to the 800d. Thc second heat was a great ilnlsli. with Plucky Scott who was back in third position at the last quarter. coming on under a great drive to almost win from Signal Senator. Abner T. Clegg third and Peter Reaper who was not pacing in Zood form, fourth. In the third heat signal senator was in ‘the 189d until just before turning into the home stretch the last time; then he pulled over. his driver said. to get better footing. Abner T.

THE 2.24 TROT AND PACE had eight starters. Dudey Patch. who has won two or three races re- cently in Cape Breton and took a record of 2.12% there, had too much speed for the others al- though Leta Kalmuck hung on well for seven-eighths of the dis- tance in the first heat. then Guy Ann came on to finish a good second. Soviet was a real good pacer yesterday, coming through in the second and third heats very fast ln- the last end to finish sec- ond. Millie Kalmuck, the only trotter in the bunch, was a bit handicapped with the fast~getaway pacers. but in the third heat she put up a. great performance, being 8- BOOd third in 2.12%, and eer- tainly better than 2.14. By the way Dudey Patch lowered his rec- ord in the second heat. from 2.1215 to 2.11%, making a trio-one trot- ter Helen D., and two pacers, Josie the Great and Dudey Patch - to acquire new records at Montague.

ror iive innings last night the battle was as pretty a pitchers duel as one would want to witness with the best efforts of the Rovers giv- ing them only a slight 2-1 margin over their hard working opponents.

There wasn't very much the losers could do about it and as the W111- ners kept their batting attacks up the fine defensive work that the Giants had exhibited in the early

completed their training last ev- ening, Maich going through loos- enmg-up exercises at the Forum while Leslie ended his workouts at Souris. Both will likely enter the

ring at around 205 pounds and if, W111 l

there is any advantage Maich likely have it on his side.

Both have expressed confidence in being returned the victor and both are apparently set on making it a. real fight all the way 1t goes. Neither lays claim to any extra- ordinary boxing ability and their only plan of battle is to get in there and swing until the man one or the other takes the count.

With the fighters themselves taking this attitude it can be readily seen that the fans are go- ing to witness plenty of excite- ment during the length of the scrap; it may not last very long and then again it may turn out no be a sensational, free-swinging fight for ten rounds. But this latter possibility is remote. Leslie and Maich have both demonstrat- ed before now that they carry KO. punches in either hand and the consensus of opinion yesterday was that the fight would end in a kayo with Leslie, drawing s lot of supporters at the last’ moment, being favored 1n a good many in- stances.

While the two heavies have been drawing the interest to date nev- ertheless there is another fight on the card that well could be a main bout in ifs own right. It is the battle for the lightheavyweight title of the Island between de- fending champion Danny McCor- mac of Souris and challenger Tom Claybourne of Charlottetown, the challenger already having a non- title decision over the defending champion.

This fight promises to be an- other hair-raising affair. McCor- mick. the better boxer of the pair will be faced by a boy who charg- es in continually with heavy hit- ting wallops and forces an oppon- ent to fight his way. That Mc- Cormick can also fight back like a

It was then called "The One Hundred Guineas Cup" after the known as the "America's Cup".nnd ; auchhal been if! designation since.

IN THIS CORNER

George Leslie will either realize his ambition tonight, if he can de- feat Bill Maich or else be forced to concede that Maich is his mas- ter. Ever since the Brantford battler beat him in the "White Hope" tournament George has let it be known that some time he would get a return match and put a different ending to the finish.

itéiééiéfiié

Tonight he gets that chance and he will enter the ring more deter-

i mined than he ever was before to’

be returned the winner. No doubt.‘ about it but that he will be on the I short end of the betting; he Willi also give away probably five pounds in weight plus and will al- so be up against a far more experienced fighter but these ap- parent obstacles are not phasing him in the least.

Yesterday he was just as confi- dent as he usually is before any local fights. He wouldn't say just how long he would take in defeat- ing Maich or how. but he was very certain of the outcome, name- 1y Leslie to win. He is not for a minute thinking the fight will be easy; far from it, but imshaken confidence in himself furnishes his attitude toward the outcome.

916510161!

And Maich will face a far dif- ferent fighter tonight than was the case before. More experienced, better able to handle his mitts, and able~to take plenty of pun- ishment Leslie might spring a sur- prise by winning. for there is little doubt that he will be the under-i dog in the betting. The records. of the two boys in itself leads to‘ this but although Island fans will ‘ attend the fights expressing trepi-i iiation on the outcome as far as a Leslie viomry is concerned never-i tireless the majority of them will be hoping for an Island victory.

In addition to the Leslie-March go there is the promising Clay- boume-McCormick setto for the Island lightheavy title with a red- hot preliminary rounding out the most ambitious card to be staged here in a good while, and with a rapid advance sale of tickets re- ported by Promoter Joey McDon- ald yesterday, a record attendance is being looked for.

=k +1

And here's hoping such will be the case. Joey deserves a big house for the fine cards he has put on in the past. He has taken several financial lickings withouta murmur but still has kept on put- ting on shows that invariably please.

It looks very much like as if Britain's persistent challenge for the America's Cup is again to go unrewarded. In the three races to date there has been little doubt of the superiority of the American boat and it. would take a near miracle if Sopwiths Endeavour Il was to come anywhere close to taking the trophy across the occnn with him. this time at least. En- deavour has been decisively hcafen in all three races and there is lit- tle hope of the British challenger taking even one race.

But British sportsmen have cer- tainly been persistent in their ef- forts io capture a cup that the Americans first won in 1851 with a schooner named America in competition with a fleet of yachts otI the Isle of Wight. In the in- tervening 86 years the United States defenders have resisted all efforts to lift the cup by boats from the other side of the big pond. 1n all Uncle Sam's yachts- mcn have turned back 15 chal-I lenges, with the loss of only five races out. of 47 sailed. The Liv- onia won one race in 1871. the Shamrock 1V gave that. gallant
