Local Money - To The South |
By JIM CULLEN
The Charlottetown Driving Park and for that matter all Maritime harness racing circuits race under the United States
retiung Association racing rules
When loca! drivers are tined for infractions of the rules w a race \hé money is forwarded into the United States
This is something that has been puzzling this writer; because there is the Canadian Trotting Association which has practically indentical racing rules to the USTA
True, the USTA was in operation long before the Canadian assoctatron.-but--we—fail_te-see—why—Canadian drivers’ money | for fines. licences ete, should be pouring into the United States when we have a Canadian association. }
When a driver is suspended or fined and decided to appeal | his case he has to write to Columbus, Ohio, headquarters for the Unwed States Trotting Association and a hearing is arrang- ed with a delegate from the main office of the USTA present te assess the value of the appeal.
This columnist.thinks # is simply a case of having join- ed the USTA at the outset as there was no Canadian association and now the people involved are a little reluctant to keep up with the tumes and continue their affiliation with our neighbors to the south
lf amy of our readers can offer an explanation why the money collected from the drivers throughout the year should be sent. to Columbus, Ohio we would be only to glad.to hear — from them: * :
Pari-mutual betting is under the Federal Department of Agriculture and deas nothing to do with the USTA. '

Meets Crothers In Toronto
By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Sports Editor | tt was a scorching afternoon
Rome just before the 1960) Summer Olympie Games. A young New Zealand runner, his) body covered with perspiration, was doubled over with his
+ hands-on -his--knees:
Peter Snell, 21 years old and simply another name in world track circles, had completed 17 220-yard sprints. He was ex- hausted and almost out on his feet.
‘Run another one,"’ said Ar- thur Lydiard. his coach.
“IT want to be sick,”’ mumbled Snell
‘Well. be sick.” said Lydiard, “and then run another one.”
Snell managed a wry grin, straightened up and loped off on another sprint. :
He hasn't stopped running since. Four days after that heart - thumping workout he
mounted the winner's rostrum | to the thunderous applause of | nearly 100,000 persons. He was) another champion to them and they stood im tribute to the un- | known who: had beaten the world in the 800-metre run in the Olympie record time ef 1:46.3.
The victory made Snell's name a household word among the world's track buffs. But that was just the beginning.
He has won five gold medals in international compet ition since then and last Jan. 1 was awarded the Order of the Brit- ish Empire in the Queen's New Year's honors list. Now the ack- nowledged world's greatest mid- dle-distance runner in history, he is eveing the 3:500 mile
Snell is the headliner in the Toronto internationa) meet at Varsity Stadium next Thursday night in a head-to-head duel with Bill Crothers, the 24-year- | old Markham, Ont.. pharmacist | and second-fastest man im the! world over the 80-metre dis- tance }

in Commercial League Soft- ball action last evening the Power Kings downed the Royal | Bankers 63 at the Queen Charlotte ball diamond. The decisive blow in the conquest was a 2 run homer in the 4th inning by ,Jim Dowling, which put the Power Kings ahead to stay. Gord Bowtle worked tire- lessly om the mound for the winners fanning 2, walking 4 and giving up 8 hits. Leo Dovle, lasing pitcher, also hurled a great game allowing only 7 hits | and 3 walks For the Power Kings. Ed Toombs led al! hit- ters with a 2 for three perform. ance while Norm MacLeod went 2 for 4
Lorne Doiron had a might at the plate for the Bank- ers banging out a homer and 2 singles in 4 times at bat. Stan Rose and.Leo Doyle both went 2 for three. Roth teams worked very hard and had it not been for ior outfielding ,by the Power Kings the result might have been reversed. Hon- orable mention goes to young | Ken Ballem who came up with many dazzling catches in left field. LINESCORES
This will be their fourth meet- ing since the 1962 British Em- pire Games at Perth Australia, and Srell has beer the master in each
His triump.in Reme was a crushing blow to the Americans who had produced four succes- sive Olympic gold medallists in the classic 800 since the 1936 Berlin Games. But there was more to come
Two years later—at the end of January, 1962—he ran the mile in 3:54.4, breakirg by one- tenth of a second the record established four years earlier by Herb Elliott of Australia. A week later, he ran the fastest half mile in _ histery—1:45.1— and at the same time bettered the world 800-metre mark with a time of 1:443.
Last Nov. 18 this. magnificent New Zealand flyer ran the fast-
est mile ever, a tremendous 3:54.11 effort, at Auctland UPSET EXPERTS
At the Perth cames he won both the 889 vards and the mile and one of his victims in the semi-final of the half was Croth- ers who finished fourth and failed to qualify. Snell simply loped around the track and his times were far off world marks.
These performances may have thrown experts off the scent because. Snel!

Crothers and Snel! have met twice indoors over 1,000 yards. In February, 1962, running on boards for the first time in his career, Snell beat the Canadian by a few yards at Los Angeles. Again at Les Angeles last Feb. 13. the New Zealander won again by four yards over Croth- ers
This could be their last meet- ing. Snell plans to hang up his spikes next spring.
