Some real speed was displayed at the Charlottetown oval last Wednesday morning. Despite the fact that the sticks protecting the pole were laid out on the track and the horses had to go in sec- ond position. the five-year-old thirty class pacer. P. E. I. Budlong. owned by T. E. Hankinson. Mid- dleton. N. S.. paced a quarter of a mile away from lthe wire in a shade better than 30 seconds. He was taken back and went an easy mile in 2.13 4-5. He is by Calumet Budlong 102?; and his dam is the noted race mare Betty S. 2.07. that made such I wonderful Campaign through the Maritime: some years ago. She was brought from Ohio -by Cecil Alexander of Saint John. NB. Betty 5. is now in the brood mare ranks at Frank McKay's farm. East Royalty, where there is a full brother to P.E.l. Budlring out to pasture. The other fast quarter was paced by Johnnie Kalmuck 2.13. He was minus the hopplcs and it was at the end of a mile in 2.18 when he paced the quarter in exactly 30 seconds. These are the fastest quarters we have heard of in the Province this season.

Frank McAldui7 left for Gor- -ham. Maine. yesterday with the John D. Forbes stable of Freder- icton. N. B.. consisting of Yankee Girl 2.10 1-5. Miss Eloise 2.15 2-5. Pat D. 2.06 3-5. The two former were winners at the night races here but Pat D. did not make ai start.

John Mulligan. Kinkora. is very proud of two foals that arrived recently. One is by Jollity 2.05Vi. dam. Cochato Princess 2.13. by His Majesty 1.591.-&. and the other is by Jollity. dam. Queenie Spruce by King Spruce 2.08. Admiring friends predict a great future for these youngsters because of their splen- did breeding and exceptional de- velopment.

The P. E. I. Circuit moves to St. Peters next Wednesday afternoon where Pres. Quigley and Joseph Leslie have what they claim is one of the best appointed tracks in the Province: certainly no ex- giense has been spared to put it in the best of order. 51,600 in purses will draw an entry list quite as pleasing as any that has started this season. -Extra inducements of s25 to the driver of the horse ipacing the fastest heat. 525 to the

regime and it was one of the most enjoyable 'we had attended. We met people we hnd not seen for years. residents as far away as East Point It was a sight to see some 3,000 there. all interested witnesses of the sparkling racing program, the final heat of which was trotted in 2.112-5 by Lee Brewer C. and is the track trot- ting record. The track pacing re- cord was set by Filbert, owned by P. J. Cadegan and driven by Wor- rell Lewis-2.12 2-5. This year with the improvement to the low- er turn we may see new marks made.

A few days ago we had a letter from a grand old friend. Alex S. Palmer of Berwick, N.S.. of which these are extracts:-"While in Cal- ifornia last Spring I had a great talk with Doc Vail. He was sun- ning his snow white hair sitting in front of his stable after dinner. 1 had seen his picture and account of his 'horses in the previous March issue of the Horseman. As soon as I said I was from Canada he asked about you. said he knew you when you were racing The Yank over the ice at Mount Clem- ents and asked to be remembered to you. Doc said you have to give and take with a horse. you cannot make him do. He rates Harry Stokes as the greatest race driver and Harry once stated that Signal Peter was the best and gamest race horse he ever drove. That is why I think Signal Senator will produce race horses if his get re- ceive the proper training. Bill Baker in Middleton has several of them. I was quite impresed with the way Lina Senator raced on the Commons last winter. She I3 now owned on the Island. I-lcr dam "is by a good son of Make.

"In the recent contest in the Horseman for the most popular trotter and pacer I voted for Lee Hanover 2.00 and Grattan Bars l.59l.':. While Grattan Bars may not be so popular all the writers were agreed that no other horse could have done what he did when he won a race with the thumps and another race I short time later. One of the most inter- csting articles I have read in a horse paper appeared in a Christ- mas number years ago by Judge Reese Blizzard-Was Bingen a Wilkes or an Electioneer? My guess is that Bingen got his speed- siring ability from Alexander's Norman. a horse with a Canadian background. I don't care what it is that made Bingens and Elec- tioneers great trotters; I hate to see the blood die out, especially in the male line Bingen. You should be interested in the Bing- ens as you had one of the best raced around here-Briar Mae:---I never forgot how that colt could trot as I two-year-old to what Harry Lydiard called his skeleton wagon. Mr. Lydiard had every- thing it takes to make a race driv- er-even to being born on the Is- land. but I don't. think he was the very best of colt trainers although

THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN

program of events scheduled for this week-end it looks very much like sporting enthusiasts and fans are going to have a busy two days of sporting activity that will pres- ent in wide variety of sporting en- tertainmcnt.

For the ardent rail birds. it will be a big ten-dash trotting and pacing progiam under lights here tonight at the Exhibition Raceway, which will be the concluding feat- ure of a two-night program that got. away to a highly successful start last evening. With a list of top-notch successes behind them already this season. the Provincial Exhibition Association and the Charlottetown Driving Park have a really promising group of entries slated to start tonight that should give racing funs it really smart evening of keen iacing.

. . .

Although baseball. in regular league play. will be a minus quant- ity today, a big program is scheduled for Cliarlottetown and Summerside tomorrow. Performing over Memorial Field this afternoon. the Abbics will do battle for top honors against the R. C. A. F Royals in a promising looking double bill that is bound to pro- vlde plenty of action. Ar the Western Capital. the league lead- ing cumin and Briggs nine will be coming out for their ninth lea gue victory in eleven starts when they tangle in a single 'encountei' against second place Falcons. who will be playing for their sixth win of the season in ten starts.

. . .

Highlighting the nautical enter- tainment here today, will be a rac- ing meet for Class III and Snipe craft to be held in the hi-1rbou' this afternoon under the sponsor- ship of the Charlottetown Yacht Club. The event will be the start to what C. Y. C. officials plan to make a weekly meet, for the re- mainder of the summer. some 12 craft are entered in the meet from the local club. and other entries are invited to take part from other points in the Province.

In his book "Knotty Problems of Baseball" Billy Evans says "There are two plays in baseball. involv- ing juggling of the ball. that are confusing. One has to do with a fly ball. the other a touch play on the bases. In play number one there was 3 runner on third and one out. The batter hit a fly ball to left field. The moment the ball ilfilck the hands of the fielder, the run- ner on third, who tagged up. broke for the plate. The fielder iuggled the ball several times. but flnal!y held it securely. What were the rights of the runner as to this play? Had he the right. to ad- vance when the ball struck the hands of the fielder or must he delay his advance until the ball was securely held?

. . . . "In play number two, thcre was it runner on first and he tried a theft of second. The catcher made a perfect throw, the ball arriving two yards ahead of the runner. who apeared to be an easy out as he was touched with the ball. The umpire first ruled "out". Then it was aparent that the fielder mak- ing the play juggled the bail sev- eral times after the touch. Then the umpire reversed himself and called the runner safe. It would seem that juggling the ball on the touch play voided the out. In that true?

I O O

"The rule covering the fly ball is specific. It says: 'A base runner who holds his base on a fly ball shall have the right to advance the moment the ball touches the per- son or uniform of I fielder! The reason for this is obvious. if a base runner had to hold hlii We until 3. fly ball was securely held for the out. flelders would make ii. practice of juggling all fly balls. which would put the runner at the mercy of the fielder and his juggling act. .

"On in touch play. where the bet- ter is first declared out, only to have the bell juggled but not dropped. the umpire must reverse himself from "out" to "sale". if the runner i the interim reached the base wh e the bell was being juggled. The rule says: The bill must be firmly held by the fielder after touching the runner. The ball cmnoi. be juggled even though the fielder may reirnlh posaesslnn 0! his bail and prevent sfme from dropping to the ground-' '
