With Labor Day

drawing near. twelve days to be exact. local sporting enthusiasts will soon have the opportunity of witnessing the leading track and field meet of the season here over Memorial Field. The big event is the Mari- time Tracir and Field champion- ships slated for that date. and will bring together the leading atnletin clubs and athletes of the three see- side Provinces in competition against one another for top team and individual honors. I I I

Being sponsored by the Depart- ment of Physical Fitness in co-op- eration with the Abegweit Amateur Athletis Association. who are noted for their ability to arrange and carry out such events with th:- utmost efficiency, the meet has all the prospects of being one of top-notcli quality both from n standpoint of keen. activity and good sportsmanship as well as smart sporting enter- tainmeut.

C I

Islanders of course. are pinning their hopes on the Abbies to come through with the bacon this year to regain the Maritime title they held two years ago. but lost to the

Antigonish Highland Society ac Amherst last year by a narrow four points. They are capable of

doing just that too, providing they can get some of last years stars back in harness again. who for var- ious reasons, have not been able to perform with the local squad so far this season. 0 I I Although the Abbie representat- ives. who have had to rely on most of their power from the junior ranks this year. have lfeen making good showings to date in the cur- rent season. they need that point getting support of such men as Dave Boswell. Walter "Windy" Le- Page, Jackie Brown and Billy Purcell. to put them over the top in the stiff competition they will have to contend with at the Mari- time Meet. I I I

Boswell and Le-Pane. for in- stance. have been two of the Abbles leading stars in thrsprlnt departtmcnt for the past three or four years. Boswell specializing in the quarter and half divisions and LePage in the 100 and 220 yard events. and teaming up to- gether. have formed the driving force behind the senior mile re- lay team. that in four major Maritime" meets last. year. never once were beaten.

I I I

Both Brown and Purcell also excellent point izetters in the sprint department but all with the exception of Boswell. have not been in competition so far this season. Boswell took part in one event. when he fill- cd ii gap on the relay team here on Dominion Day. to run a smart quarter and help put the Abbie sound on the winning end of that event. if these boys can be brought. back into harness for Labor Day. to team up with the other existing top Abbie athletes such as Wendell Barrett. John Cash. Bob Jay. George Walters. Bob Naylor. Cullen DeLory and others. it is this writer's opin- ion, and many others too. thnt they are the team that can do the trick.

are

But of course some of these boys have had just reason for not competing. Boa-well. for instance, who represented Daibousle Uni- versity at the British Empire Trials last summer. suffered a severe leg injury last fall while performing with the rugby squad of that University. while LePage early last winter had to undergo a rather serious operation. But to all apparent appearances, both these boys are looking in com- petitive form right now. and it is hoped that they will be able

Horses Split

Mainland and Island horses split leading win. honors at the Wed- nesday afternoon meet held over the Parkview Raceway, South Rustico. yesterday when two saint John. N. B. horses, owned by Cecil Alexander. pped off the race honors in the numbers one and two classified even-ts. while local entries were the big winners in the third and fourth classified div- isions.

It was a great aftcrnoonls racing that gave a large crowd some very close, thrilling finishes as well as keen, changing battles for the lead positions over the mile route to the finish wire.

Doing no better than fifth place in the opening heat as the result of a bad start in a big ii-horse field. Bud Abner, owned by Mr. Alexander and driven by Bill Burt, swept to two consecutive wins in the two final heats for race honors. Willard Kelly's Mili- dale and the McPhee-owned Joan- dale were the leading contenders. Kelly bringing his charge home in front with a terrific stretch drive in the opening heat, and just be- ing nosed out by Abner in the other two heats for second sum- mary. Joandale, driven by Charlie Willis. was also close in at the fin- ish in all three heats for the show position on the race.

Both winning horses set new records for themselves, Miildale dropping to a new mark of 2.18 1-5 in the first heat and Bud Ab- ner coming under the wire in 2.16 2-5 in the middle session for a new mark over the mile route.

Being nosed out by Eric More- side's Worthy Ermine in the open- ing beat of number two classified. All American. the Alexander ent- ry from Saint John. was driven to race honors in the final two heats

to see their way clear to com- pete with the Abbles by the time Labor Day rolls afO:lild.

Local fans will also have rt treat in store for them when they see Bob Naylor. lhe Am- herst, N. S.. boy who has been picking up points right and left for the Abbie squad during the last two seasons. strut his stuff for -them here on that date. Bob. who is a long-llmbed. well-built youngster. has a beautiful style to watch and is n really-up-and coming athlete who is right in pitching in any of the sprint events from the half right down to the 100 and 220 events. as well as a crack mile relay man. It will be his first appearance here although he has been competing with the Abbie: for two seasons. and local fans who have been rcading of his exploits in the press. will now have the oppor- tunity of witnessing for them- gelves. just what he can really

Chalkins UP his second and third winning performances of the day. Willard Kelly came through with the same type of top-notch driving that won him the British Consols Trophy as leading driving award during the Old Home Week meets here last week when he piloted his own Lucky Number to wins in the first and third heats of the number three classified for race honors. Holding true to his usual style. Kelly came through from well back in the field with powerful home-stretch drives" for close, exciting wins.

Rosalie Hooper. driven by Wal- ter Craig. was the other leading contender for race honors. prov- ing to have too much zip on the stretch for Lucky in the middle session for a smart win. and press- ed the Kelly-owned horse every inch of the way in the first and third heats.

But it was the fourth and final division on the program. the No. four classified. that produced some of the real close racing of the day in an action-packed ten-horse field that was forced to an extra heat before it was decided.
