Wins Junior liolf Title

RIVERSIDE GOLF AND COUN- TRY CLUB, Saint. John, N. B., July 24—-(CP)— Bob Hall, handsome Montreal youngster won the Cana- mian junior golf championship Saturday because he refused to become flustered. -

The likable 18-year-old golfer from the llampstead Club led a lield of eight junior provincial am- lteur champions with a 36 hole medal score of 158.

That was good enough to give nim a throe stroke margin over Laurie Roland, from Vancouver's Marine Drive Club, who practi- rally beat himself on the last nine.

Bob's 15S wasn't anything par- ticular to shout about in the face 0f Riversidfis par 70-140 for the ‘ull distance.

But the photogenic Montreal boy look a cracking northwest wind md a full share of ndvcrsity in stride.

He played his best nine on the home stretch.

Roland's collapse after three steady ninps was inexplicable. It wasn't so much a case of jitters as a sudden inability to do anything right, and tough old Riverside was quick to slap down the blond youngster.

Roland still shudders at the all- to-true nightmare of seven strokes over par for the last five holes. The debacle was complete when he blew himself t0 n six at the par three 36th home hole.

In third place behind Hall and Roland came nn unheralded l6- year-old graduate of the caddie ranks at New Glasgow, NS.

H915 Bobby Rae. lover-headed. lug-cared nnd patiently awaiting further growth and poundnge. Defying the spanking nor-waster to blow him off thc fairways, Bobby —"Lulzs" to his buddies-helped himself to a rallying pair of 40s on the last round and finished with 165.

One of the most disappointed competitors-outside of woeful young Roland-was Don Pullen of Thomas, Ont., Municipal Club.

Don “m; rated n distinct threat for the title relinquished by Bill Mswhinney of Vancouver Quil- chena, now over the age limit of 18

Don's widowed mother followed him on the last. round but he could do no better than his morning 8'5 and had to take fourth place with 18G.

Don Gardner. from Winnipeg's Charleswood Club, was one stroke back with 167 and Thane Cody, the host club junior provincial champ- ion and Doug Sllvcrherg of Al- berta, finished seventh with 168.

Bob Turner from Saskatoon Riv- erside, was so disgusted with a large 90 on the first round that he called it a day late. ln the after- noon round and refused to post u ICOTE.

Hall's victory in the junior was followed by Ontario's victory in the internrovinclai team matches for the Wiliingdnn Cup. The four man Ontario team posted an aggre- gate medal score of 601 for 3-6 holes, with Quebec only two strokes sway.

The 158 score for Hall, a McGill University student was the high- ut: winning scorer since the tun- ior competition for the Bucking- hlrn Trophy was begun in_ 1938.

JULY 25, 1949

It has been a foregone conclus- ion ever since the big racing plant was thrown open under the lights that night racing would go over big here; events since then have gone to solidfy that impression but

Saturday night's attendance put the clincher on it when over 5.000 fans wended their way through the turnstiles to set a new mark for racing under the lights. - o - e

They were well rewarded. Rac- ing was again of the same thrill- packed variety that is now the rule rather than the exception. The meeting wanted for nothing. If there weren't terrific drives for first place, the battles for the run- nor-up spot were making up for any lack of excitement surround- ing the first horse and with win and place betting now in vogue there is more and more attention being paid to the runner-up posi-

tion. O O O O

Yes, we would say that this sea- son's racing tops all other years in nearly every department. The uncertainty that has surrounded the outcome of the classes, and especially when one takes into consideration the fact that in a good many instances the same group of horses are meeting week- ly, has been terrific and although we have not. kept a record of it, cases are pretty far apart where trotters and pacers have been able to put together successive winning

summaries.

Old Home Week's racing pro- gram is now the matter of just three weeks away. Indications now are that the entry list will break all existing records and it is likely that; before the final heat has been run many other records, such as attendance, type of racing, to mon- tion a few will also have gone by the boards.

"Big Jim" Pendcrgast, at present recovering from a hip injury comes in with some timely observations on sports programs at: present be- ing conducted over the Island. His comment is timely and comes from one of the Island's keenest sports followers and a man who in his day was an athlete of note in the branches of sport in which he took part. in:

O O O O

Says Jim and we turn over his comments verbatim:

"The physical culture ship is well and truly launched. All sails set and a ‘beam wind’ for the happy haven of better physical fit- ncss and the highest point of ex- cellence in athletic endeavour.

O O O O

The sport writers and the Island press in general seem to be doing their utmost to remedy the flaccid innocuous condition of our youth which was discovered in phyhical examination for military service during World War ll.

I O I I

"Group games, such as baseball hockey, football are being fostered and patronized as never before. The great American game of base- ball has perhaps shown the great- est upsurge. Nearly all the small towns and villages in the Province have their baseball and softball teams.

O I O O

It is hard to estimate the physi- cal and mental value of those group games. Besides the com- radeshlp and co-ordlnate and co- operative effort, there is the bene- ficial results of physical effort. The self sacrifice and self obliga- tion roquired in crucial moments. to further the success of team as a whole-and a lot of other quail- tlcs required to make a successful team.

O O O O

"While the group games have their great camaraderie and co- operation peculiar to the personnel of a successful team-and are vary interesting to spectators, the track and field events present a greater scope for individual effort, and give greater chance to attain the highest point of excellence in any given event-provided the subject is by nature fitted’ to train and qualify.

—4 O O O

"Personally I would like to lee greater stress and attention given to track and field events. It seems that our university and colleges are rather sommolent in that re- spect. Bsrely cognizant of the old Roman adage ‘Menu sans in cor- pore snno,’ it shouldn't be an in- surmountable difficulty to procure good outfits for track and field competitions.

O I O

"School playgrounds are the logical places to inculcate field and track athletics and a love of outdoor sport. {The cost of sccout- rement is trifling. Most of the re- quired artlcles can be procured right at hand-for the , asking. Where there is a will there ls n way. We should be able to develop some entries for the 1952 Olympic

Games.” ' ‘ll "ll lhrdiuluunn

Great Racing Again

Witnesses!

At Night

Program Saturday -

Attendance records for a night racing meet went by the boards Saturday night at the exhibition track when a crowd estimated at over 5000 crowded into the bril- liantly-lit racing enclosure to again witness stirring racing duels. duels that added to the swelling list of upset victories recorded so far this season, with six of the ten favorites going down to defeat during the pulsating action.

Bettors that poured over $17,000

into the pari-mutuels during the wagering saw thc biggest single pay of the season when Speedwell Guy, driven expertly by "Ike" Moreside, captured the No. Seven event to pay off $105.70 for each two dollar ticket to win and 24.20 for place tickets, while the other unexpected victories also returned big protlts to the long- shot wagercrs.

Speedwell Guy's victory was the most thrilling one, but right from the very first mile when Winnie's Last started things of! with an unexpected win, the big crowd were treated to the type of racing that has been the vogue here all season long.

In some instances the battles for first. place were not as close as had been witnessed previously but more than making up for that were the blanket finishes tihe trotters and pacers waged in back of the leaders for the runner-up spot, finishes that many times had tn be judged from a photo finish shot. Not a single horse could chalk up a double victory among thc four fields that came out for two trips around the fast piece of racing dirt and as a result the race followers were keyed up to s high pitch right to thc final seconds when Lucky Number came on in the stretch to nip Lusticia at the wire in the tenth and final mile of thc evening.

Upsets Begin Early

Winnie‘s Last, going to the front in the early part or the opening mile, was a int too good for the other six entries in tne first heal. of the night coining under the wire a length to the good over the fast-closing Joandale with Miss Playlair, recovering from a disastrous break, winding up third among rive closely-packed horses.

That was only the start, how- ever. after Buddy Budlong had got away to a flying start to lead the field around to the three-quarters pole Bonnie Dale, trotting steadily all thé way, forged to the from in the stretch to win off by her- self, but the remainder of the field finished as thick as flies around molasses with Buddy re- taining his second slot over Tim O‘Shanko and Speedwell Guy.

Speedwell Guy's fine effort in l

that mile was more or less over- looked but he proved it was no fluke as Driver Moreside took him out on the back side the first trip around to make every post. a winning one. But although he did lead all the way it was a spec- tacular kind of finish. Bonnie Dale making her bid at. the three- qusrters, jumped it ofl to fall far back but. Buddy Budlung and Baron. trotting a storm took up the challenge. The trio finished so close that a photo was needed to split them, with Speedwell a nose to the good over Colonel Macliinnon‘: Baron, and Buddy third just inches behind. As men- tioned before the payoff was $105.70 with Baron paying $18.50 to plats.

Feature Split Up

Dashes number three and eight, the feature events of the program turned into hard-driving nip and tuck battles. In the first heat Wilkin went to the front at thc first turn to remain there, beat- ing off Nell Kaimuck's closing drive; Wait N‘See, trotting very fast was third, a step behind in n mile paced in 2.10, with Joseclah Hoosier fourth and Vella la Velil

tlfth. Vclla was the favorite but‘

a broken tire in the latter part of the mile ruined her chances.

In their second trip in the eighth event it was Velia la Vella under the wire first. Before the half hlcl been reached Vella had paced around the field to go to the front. Strung out pretty well the first part of the mile, the field of five had bunched up as the seven. eighths pole had been ruched, but in the race ddwn thc stretch Veil: had too much pace left, Wilkin still being l length behind at the wire with Josedllo Hoosier thirckNell Kalmuck fourth and Wlit N'See fifth. Wllkin'| first mile was in 2.10, equalling the fastest mile paced here this season.

Neck And Nook Finishes

Classes numbers four and nine produced the but competition of the evening u the eight starting pacer: came down to the wire in neck and neck finishes both trips. Dale B., an added starter, came through the centre of a packed field twenty yards from tho wire to win the first hut from fut- cloning Billy Conn, Miss Knox and Ola Budlong, the latter Jeading most of the way. But in the sec- on but it was Min Knox. 1m- proving with every stlrt Min Knox was content to trail until the stretch hi0 routed.

In the Number Two event‘

From there she came on like l storm to nip Billy Conn at the wire, with Quick Lick coming from far behind to finish third and Dale B. only inches behind in fourth position among the money winners. -

Lusticia and Lucky Number waged two sensational duels in numbers five and ten. In the first mile Lusticia got the nod u driven Austin Tierney, cool a: ice, showed to the front at the wire as Lucky Number jumped it off just after getting his nose to thc front. But Lucky got his re- venge in the next mile. Both he and Lustica lay back for the final test. Lusticia came out to front first but in the last twenty yards yielded to Lucky's closing rush with the latter ahead by a neck.

Just A Gift, taken to the front by driver Donnie Seaman, turned in another upset win in the sixth event. Making every post a win- ning one driver Seaman took him under the wire a length to the good over Soldier Budlong, Miss Cherry Valley and Nature Boy the remaining horses in the mon- cy.
