It will be re- membered that last year Mr. De- the three-year-old Margy Frisco which he purchased as a yearling. in 2.11 and he had trained and brought to the 2.10 stage Mr. McGee. that took a re- cord of 2.08. He is by Abner T. Clegz. so evidently Henry likes the Cleggis. . Harness horsemen in the New England States have a schedule of 28 weeks racing. There will be Foxboro, the starting date being June 21st The first start of the campaign will be at Portland. Maine. on the Pine Tree Circuit May 29th, and racing will be held weekly over the hall-niile ovals through early November. The longest and most iinportant of the Maine meetings will be at Gorliam race track. Datcs for four weeks have been grantcd to Gorham and they are June Zllst through July l'lth Tlierc is com: to be racing at Santa Anita. Ciiliforiiia Commencing March l'.lth there will be twenty afternoons with meets held over the mile track Eighteen stakes which were adver- tised have clsseri with good eli- tries. The Western Harness Rac- inz Association which sponsored California incciiiigs is following a new plan this year. Formerly the meetings were given as one ex-

big time

tended affair either in the fall or

spriiig. Now the officials are go- ing to split the meetings, half the dates in the spriiig and half in the fall. Readers of this column will remember the great racing

held at Hollywood Park last No-,

vember into December. in wliic Joe O'Brien was the star money- winning drivcr.

Glancing over the list of Maine tracks brings to mind the great seasons of the 1920's when New Brunswick and Maine tracks co- operated. Here are some of the top tracks that will hold meets:- Presque Isle, Skowhegan. Union. Windsor, Lewiston, Norway. South Paris, Farmington. Cumberland, Fryburg. Topsham and New Glou- tester.

. While the racing situation in New York State is not cleared up yet everyone is expecting that Yonkers will open up April 15th and race through to November l5th and Walter Gibbons. Roose- velt Raceway. hopes to publish his stake. features soon. There was -nothing wrong whatever in the -conduct of the race tracks or their officials in New York State, the trouble was with the unions who were collecting from parties hired to. police the grounds, etc.

he rirst sat behind a tmttcr-a record to be proud of." Damiie Steele. as most Maritiniers will remember. is a son of the late John Steele. Summerside, who was a good horseman, trainer and driver and prepared Parksidc 2.211,. for his races. Parkslde was brought from California by the late W.R. Brennan, Sumnierside. and was an outstanding sire of speed. The brothers, Dannie and Mac. early learned to take care of horses and Dannie drove his first race when less than sixteen years oi age. He set up fl track record of 2.l7',; with Ada Mac at Char- lottetown in September. 1897.

Now we hear from Rannie Mac- Donald. Dufferin Track, Toronto: -”We are having very good wea- ther here nnd the track is in nice ,coiidition most of the time. Ihave lraced -til heats and have won 10, was second eight times and six times third. There is a splendid lot of horses and horsemen here, lthe driving is good And clean at iail times, which is certainly the right way to have it.

"Mr. Larochelle is one of the best liorseiiicn here. an expert 'trainer and driver. He liked your review of Maritime racing which iapperircd in The Guardian very lmucli. Joc Hodgins is top driver at present with 50 wins and there is also the young driver Bud Gil- more. that ninde quite a name for himself the past season and will be at tlie.top of the list in the years to come. After the racing here is finished, around the first week in March I expect we will be going back to Blue Bonnets where racing starts early in April

"I run glad to be nbie to report that Harry Hirsch's free-for-nller, Super Hal 2.01 2.5 by Hal Dale 2.01, is going perfectly sound now. He only raced for a short time the past season. If he continues sound he should be able to put up I great battle with any of the tree- for-allers. I have been interested in following big time hockey in the Maritimes and would certainly like to see some of the games. Please give my kindest regards to all friends and horsemen"... Thanks. Rannie. and knowing how tough it is to ivin or even get placed in the company you race in we think you are doing I great Job and congratulate you.

Islanders Play Sydney Tonight In Only Sat.

Nightnllere T

The Chzirlottetou-n following a rugged four day road trip came home from Halifax yesterday to re-group their forces and prepare for the fast skating Sydney Millionaires in a game atj the Forum tonight. .

The Islanders motored to Newt Glasgow yesterday and flew in-: to Charlottetown around noon.: They had been away since Tues-' day and in their swing throughl Nova Scotia fell before the Mil-i lioiiaires and Atlantlcs. i

They will be in better shape, tonight, stated coach Wes Trainor yesterday. High scoring Buck. Whitlock, who did not make that. trip, will be back with the teiim.l Vince Palladino, who has been on the sidelines for nearly a week with an injured back, is a doubt- ful starter.

Palladlno skated yesterday but'

will drive all the way by bus. . 0 o

the lslwnilcrs cniild scorr o-i'v two goals. They form two-thi --ds of a high scoring line and he-

twren them usually score at least half the Islanders goals in the Halifax Forum. Their absence also meant that the opposition could camp on fellows like Sain- don, Robert and Carver l1l0i'P' clost-ly. Saindon usually goes well in Sydney but according to Aubrry Keizer in the Sydney Post Re- cord his harvest days in Cape Breton are over because the Mil- lionaires are putting A special

check on him. i u 0 u j l .

The Islanders dropped their iii- tentlons of playing the Monctoiij Flyers an exhibition game last, night. The plnyers had been on thel said four days and had they play- eh they would have been in uni- form four times in four nights. They couldn't obtain a suitable financial agreement with the Moncton Stadium so wisely decided it would be a much better move to return home yesterday an:i obtain some rest in order to be ready for. the Moneymen.

George Andrew rind the Prince of Wales College Students Council got A rough break from the weatherman yesterday in their celebration of "College Day". The Sackvilie High School girls were able to reach here for a basketball game but the Moncton boys failed to make the grade for the hockey giune. The Monctoii students got as far as Borden before being snowcdj in for the evening. They attempted to reach the City by car but could; make little or no headway.

O O O

The Sackvllle girls were super- ior to the P.W.C. girls on the basketball court and won ratlior. handily over the City students. However, the Welshmcn were handicapped somewhat by the fact that Barbara Wran, their star guard, was forced out early in the gnme with the full quota of five fouls. The visitors started last and ended with a scoring splurge. Last night they were guests of the Col- lege at I. dance in the auditorium.

have been moving up the ladder slowly but steadily. As a result of last night's win they are only four points,bchind the League, leaders. A win tonight coupled; with a Glace Bay win at home would mov: the Miliionalres wltliin two points of the, top.

But. the Islanders have other ideas. Trainor and his mates are anxious to get back on the win- ning path again. The Islanders had been rolling nicely last week until they lost Whitlock andl Palladino for their dlsasterous mad mp 01' the past few days.

Paul Saindon was erroneously, reported missing from the 15-, lnndcrs lineup in Halifax Thurs- day night. Saindon played and turned in a very good game. It. wns learned from Trninor yester- day.

This is the only Saturday night of the schedule for the Islanders at home.

M.M.H.l. Head issues Statement On Newlflayers

GLAOE BAY. (GP) -President C. Roy MacDonald said Friday the

l moth-od by which new players were.

acquired by Maritime Major Loa- guc Hockey clubs after Feb. 1 will "be scrutinized very carefully."

MacDonald said in a prepared statement "When the deadline for the acquiring of new players was extended to Feb. 1 it was my un- derslanding that clubs would coni- pletc the lcague with players re- gistered on that date."

MacDonald's statement admitted that Canadian Amateur Hockey Association regulations provided "in cci-taln cases" for the replacement of players recalled by profesional clubs.

"lnm y opinion a club can only take advantage of this rule if the player recalled was actually on the roster of the Major League club and had taken part in one or more league ;,-nines.” MacDon- zild's statement siiid.

lie said the rules did not pro- vide for the replncenicnt of any player out because of injuries. s

"TllEYEI0l'P." the statement said. "a replacement will not be per- mitted for n. recalled player who is unable to play because of an in- Jury."

Each of us took turns watching a flock of over M gecse feeding in a stubble ficld Powerful Field glasses brought them into close focus.

They were maybe three gunshots from the highway but paid no at.- trniion to us. Not a neck was rais- cd to full length. An old gander on tho flock's edge. his neck in ll comfortniblc half-bow. turned his head to give us the once over but rcmalncd relaxed. He didn't as- sume that tense. alcrt stance that betokens suspicion. It was amusing to watch thc gs:-se push their bills along the ground under the snow feeling: for kcrnnls of grain. A quarter mile farther west another flock of approximately 100 birds were resting in close formation on 3 bnrc pnt-ito field. Like the other flock they pziid us no particular nttt-ntion. It was easy to tell they h.-idn't been shot at - not hi this section at any rate.
