George Young writes from 86 Ontario Street, Hamilton, Ont . . . "Thought you would like to look over the score card I used at the opening meet of Dufferin Race Truck, Toronto. It was my first experience there and I did not like their system of wagering nearly as well as the pari-mutuals at home. It is done by a bookie and the odds do not seem to be near- ly as good. I took a look at the horses here that were formerly in Joe O‘Brien‘s stable at Roosevelt Raceway. I think they miss- him. My Partner was drawn and Moneymaker 2.08 was back -6-5. Oi‘ course it was not the regular rlriver, he is Jimmy Cruise, now It Hollywood Park, California. who will return after the racing ‘s over there."

George enclosed the racing form iheet for the events of Saturday. Nov. 12th. This gives a line on eadh horse with remarks such as

. "Goes well", "Has a lot of speed when right", "Good." "Could take all the marbles."

"This is the one to beat", "Can do 2.12 on fast track." “Won three straight at Foxboro", "Trainer high on." “Won seven races last year". "Quebec flyor all prepped for this one,” "Raced well in the states." etc. etc. Last Saturdays card con- sisifs of eleven dashes. one at 8 l—2 furlongs and the remainder either one mile or 1 1-16 miles. The track was very heavy. It had rained all day but despite the in- element weather around 8,000 turned out to see the sport.

The fastest heat of the sitter- noon was in the Open Pace A.. the

first heat of which was won by Cyril Hanover, owned by Fabian Stock Farms, Sherbrooke, Que, and driven by Louis Prnught. for- merly of this Province, time. 2.17 1-5. The second heat was won by Director, owned by John H. Toner of Detroit, Mich. It was 1 l-16 miles, time, 2.27 3-5. The 2.25 Pace first heat was won by Toby Patch. owned by W. H. Mc- dill, Shelbourne, Ont. The second heat at one mile was won by Scottish Tweed, owncd by Glen Burch. Jamestown, N.Y.. time, 2.28. Glancing over the other starters we note them from various parts of Ontario, Quebec, Buffalo, N. Y., Rochester, N.Y.. Ipsilanti, Mich., Shepherdsville, Kentucky, Mingri, Manitoba.

The meeting at Duffcrin Park will run for 100 day's and the of- ficials of the track were swamp- ed with entries. the stabling there being quickly taken up and some 43 stables accommodating 197 horses were arranged for thc overflow at nearby 1.0m: Branch track. This will not inconveni- ence horsemen very much as the distance is only four miles and there is an excellent paved road. Nothing like this entry list had ever been received before in th-e long history of Duffcrin track and various reasons are ascribed for it, one of them being that a lot of American horsemen think that a winter's racing in Canada will put them in fine futile for tack- ling the crirly spring night racing met-ts in New York State, Michi- gan _and Illinois.

The noted mile runncr Tommy Conneff. who held the American amateur record for years. kept in condition all the ycar around riin- ning on indoor tracks during the winter months when out oi doors training was not possible. The re- sult was that he was always in shape and held his championship until he retired. Nat Ray, still going strong notwithstanding h.s 75 years, is of the same opinion. He raced horses fur yr-zirs a‘. Dui- ferin and always had them in fine fettle for the sunimcr campaigns. Likewise Vic Flemming, who raced over the icc with the Grat- lians, Louie and Roy, the wintci‘ preceding their illustrious advcnt to the clay tracks.

An admirer of George Lewis. Dominion, B.C., sends us a rrcord of his racing in i949 and it is truly' impressive. Right here we would like to pay tribute to his reinsmansihip and also to his good sportsmanship on and off the track. With the Hirsch stable he won nineteen races, twclve with Scott Spencer. four with Red-wood Grattan and three with Rilcvls First, five races with other horses -Wi'lkin, Mac Stout, A. G. Scott. Miss B. Grattan and Bobby D. He was first in 5i dashes or heats, 20 times second, 13 times third and 15 times in fourth place. He \von 27 dashes with Scoiit Spencer and also won the cup presented by the Sydney Sports Centre.

Horses change hands . . . Roy Mills, Hunter River, has traded his pacing mare Barbara Hal bv Sampson Hal 2.02 3-4 to Fergie Baxter, taking 1n exchange Joe Direct 2.07. Roy plans on giving Joe careful preparation and will start him at the ice meeits this winter . . . Bill Munroe has sold his well-bred p-accr Bill Budlong by Calumet Budlong 2.02 3-4, dam Janette Royal 2.04 3-4. to Elmer Clow. North Wiltshirr, and Elmer has sold Scotty Budlong 2.10 l-4 to R. L. McKay, Tatamagouche. N.S. James Given, Halifax, who is always on the lookout for speed. has bought the noted pacer Luther Hanovcr 2.04 and will race him over the ic: this winter. Luther can really turn it on. for instance halves in close to a minute on ii half-mile track. IIc should go quarters on ice straightaway closr- to 29 seconds, sn should make things lively at the inter-Provin- cial ice meets.

This afternoon the Golden Wcst Trot at l l-4 milrs will be raced at Inglewood Park, Hollywood, Cal, for a purse of $50,000. Horses fully paid up in it includes such stars as Chesterrtoyvn, Chris Spen- cer. Demon Hanover. Egan Han- ovcr. Full Bloom, Proximity, Rod- ney and fourteen others including Vita Lee. that recently set up n record for 1 1-16 miles at I-Iolly-

THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN

lIsland Heavyweight Title At Stake Tonight; F ive-Bout Card At S’side

The heavyweight boxing title of Prince Edward Island will be at stake tonight when Big Boy Peter- son of Charlottetown, present champion, will put his title on the line against Reg O'Brien of ‘Sum- merside in an eight-round scrap. The bout will be the main event of a five-bout card at the Summerside Curling Rink which gets underway iit 0.30 sharp.

Other bouts on the card will see it semi-final six-round go between Harrison "Tiger" Ferguson (147) of Summerside and Johnny Russell (150) of Charlottetown. Royce Du:- arit (11"Ji \'s Peiiizifms .1.'.-<-.;ai.:t I133). Kid Richard (100) vs Garth iiicGuignn (105) will slug it out in the preliminary events, with Sum- mcrsidcs mighty-mite of boxing. Slugger DcCoste (55) taking on iill comers in his weight division in the curtain raiser. McGuigan is the only Charlottetown scrapper in the preliminary events. the others n11 hailing from the Western Carp- iiril.

Fight fans of Swrirmerslde are looking forward to the main event

between Peterson and O'Brien, and many think that the Western lad. who is a heavy puncher of the slug- ger variety, might just be the man who can lift the crown from the husky ZQS-pound champ, and in any event will make it a real rousing scrap. Peterson has held top sway in the heavyweight division for the Dust number of years, only having lost it once for a short time to Jenks Jenkins. regaining it again n few months later in a return tith- bout. O'Brien tips the scales at 1515.

The semi-final scrap between Ferguson and Russell is also ix- pér-zcgl tii b1.- a top-frets). aiislx Both are smooth, clever boxers ant‘. pack plenty of piuiching power and although Ferguson, the Sum- merside boy. has never been deioni- ed in his career as a. boxer. he will be up against a tough assignmmt when he meets the local scrapper. who has been putting on somc. smart performances in Charlotte-i toim rings during the past fowl months, and is considered to be om- of the up-and-ccirning boxvrs 1n Provincial fight circles.
