Johnnie Walker is a iour year old colt sired by Longset, 2.0614, and the time made by/hiin .30 1-4 seconds shows that there is no need to go abroad ior fast trotters, they can be raised and purchased at home. The iollowing is a brie! account oi the races.

Class A Pace

This class brought together York Ola, the champion ice horse oi last whiter and Major Aubrey. The horses got the word on the first score, Ma- jcr Aubrey slightly in the lead. York Ola paced very iast until about the eighth when he broke a strap which spoiled his chances oi winning.

Class A Trot

This event had three starters. Grace Forbes the winner, owned by Edgar White, Watts Edition, and Bon- nie BrookrThe horses had a lot of trouble in the first heat owing to Watts Edition reaking in the score causing a delay. They finally got a- way with Grace and Bonnie racing like steam to the wire. the iormer getting the decision, Bonnie Brook second, Watts Edition third. Second heat-In this heat Bonnie Brook had

the misfortune oi throwing a shin .

at the eighth causing her to go down, Grace Forbes winning the heat, Watts Edition sewnd.

BY QUIN HALL

For ‘a time early this Winter it looked as ii the National League um- piring stai! would be deprived oi one oi its most colorful figures. Bill Klem, who has been calling balls and strikes ior a matter of twenty- two years, was just about to tender his resignation to President John A. Heydier. But Bill changed his mind. He has sent in his signed contract and when the season gels under way in a iew weeks Bill will start his twenty-third year back oi the masks. That's a. pretty long stretch to have taken the razzing oi the cash cus- tomers, but Bill seems to like the racket.

i It is rumored that Klein's contem- plated resignati r hinged on the iact that he was not selected as one oi the arbiters ior the World Series last Fall. In tact, Bill hasn't been chosen to “call 'em" in the annual classic since i926, and it is said that he rather resents it. After ofllclatlng in eleven oi the sc_rambles. it is nat- ural that he assumed that it was a regular assignment. But the dith- culty. whatever it was. between Klem nndithe League has been ironed out and Bill is back in the fold: and it's rather a blessing, as good umpires are

not so easily snared as some people

would think, and Bill is well known

and he is liked by the ians and the

players ‘ior his courage and fearless-

Prior to last season it had been the boast 0t Bill Klem that he was never wrong. Late in August last year‘ he reversed a decision for the first time in his long career. In a game between the New York Giants and the Pitts- burgh Pirates at Pittsburgh, Bill, calling them behind the plate, ruled a bunt by Reese sale. Dolly Stark, a kid umpire, questioned the dean's de- cision and after considerable argu- ment finally admitted his error. It was the first, probably the last and assuredly the only time in his liie that Klem made such an admission. It has been said that Roger Bresna- han ieil off the Giant bench in amazement and that it took several minutes and iour buckets oi water to bring him back to life.

Klem was also roundly criticized by the fans on two decisions he ren- dered during last year, but in both instances Heydler reiused to allow the protests made against the veteran arbiter. Both oi these decisions were made in games between the Giants and the Chicago Cubs. On July 28, Cuyler, the Cub infielder. drove a long fly against the upper tier of the grandstand in the left field at the Polo Grounds. The ball struck the concrete so close to the chalk mark that Kiki ielt himseli entitled to a home run. Klem designated the hit as a foul and despite ‘loud argu-

. . inents from Manager McCarthy and Cuyler and a. filed protest, Bill's word was sustained.

Late in September, Klem was again ofllciating during a. critical series be- tween the same clubs at the Polo Grounds. The series opened with a double-header and in one oi the games Reese, oi the Giants, was call- ed out at the plate when, after col- liding with Catch Hartnett, he was tagged by Third Baseman Beck. The Giants claimed that Bartnett was guilty oi gross interference and that the run should be allowed. Klem rul- ed difierently, however, and claimed there was no evidence oi intentional interference by Hartnett. More wild protests from the ians and an oflic- ial one from Manager McGraw failed to change the decision. And Klem will be back calling them again this season. ,

Seemingly. good umpires are scarce because an arbiter can usually get his job back any time he wants it. Such is the case oi George Moriarity, who quit the masks two years ago to take a shot at Managing the Detroit Tig- ers. Not an outstanding success as a pilot in Speed Town, George will be back umpiring in the junior circuit again this year and the league is welcoming him with open arms.

And both oi these iellows are ac- customed to the razzlngand reiuse to be ridden by the fans.

The Victoria hockey team, train- tired and short McEachern from centre and Morgan from the nets, were shut out by the Abegweits Sat- urday night by a score oi 4 to nil. The game, scheduled to start at 9 o'clock did not get away until 10.45, due to some slip-up in the shipping of the team's. rigging from Summer- side where they played Friday night, said paraphernalia not getting here until 10.30. Some hundreds of fans, as a consequence being very much disappointed. ‘ The Vics, although short regular players, put up a whale oi a battle in. the first period, holding the Abeg- weits scoreless. However in the sec- ond perlod Splllett scored on a long shot.

In the last period Abegweits added three more counters, Frank Acorn getting two and Gordon the final count. About 600 fans attended.
