Ryan was at the peak of his pitching carccr yesterday and de- ss-vcd his shutout. He didn't ;',:\‘e tip a hit until the fifth in- ituig and after that he was touch- t-il for only two more. one in the .='.\'th and one in the seventh.

and fighting qualities lifted a sag- ging tram many a time.

Saturday,

Wcll. the ro-opcning of the St.

Peter's Raceway certainly got away to n brilliant start yesterday afternoon when nearly 3.000 racing fans crowded the stands and grounds to witness some really outstanding raring in the big 14 event card held there. . n .

Making it's re-cntry into the 1-3- lanil Harness Racing Circuit for the first time since the 1930's, the new plant presented a fine set- ting for the dayls meet. with a brand new spectators stand and adequate parmititucl facilities, and most important. of all. a splendidly conditioned truck which saw times as lo\v as 2:11 2-5 being chalked up ovcr the mile Course.

. . .

The racing was keen at every siiigc c-f lilo inc-ct, and came up \\'1tl\ some smart track battles and tightly packed. clone finishes, which railed for the use of toe photo finish camera on almost ev- (‘ly orcnt that ivas run. although not always for the first place horse but fur second and third positions as well.

I O I

Although the favourites came through with their fair share of winning honors, the meet had its upsets iuo, with Hilda Mac upset- ting the apple cart in the third heat. of the No. 4 Classified event. to romp home a. winner after plac- ing 5th and 4th respectively in the first. two heats, to pay oft hand. somcly at the purimutuel to the tune of $23G for a $3 ticket.

n . . ,

The other major uipset oi’ the meet was Lee Brewer, who, after jumping it off all day to place sixth in the first two heats and didift lint-sh in the third canto of the N0. 1 Classified, straightened away in the first of the special dash events. to go to the front at the first turn and stay there for the rcsi. of the race tor a clean- cut victory. 1t. was also the fastest mile trot of t-lie day in 2:11 2-5.

. . .

Coming through with a top. notch performance on the mound for the Abbics at Summerslde yes- tcrday afternoon. right-hnndcr Charley Ryan racked up a three hit. pitching feat to send the local squad to a. 4-0 victory dver the Curran and Briggs nine, and take a two to one game advantage in the Island Physical Fitness Base- ball League championship playoff finals.

O U O

According to fcportg 1mm (he Prince County capital, Ryan came through with the performance of his career and had the opposing batters completely bewildered with his stellar pitching. to hurl no. hit ball for four innings and being tagged for one in the fifth for the first time of the game, and only allowing two more during the m- counter. one in the sixth and one in the seventh.

I I O

But Ryan wasn't the only factor that. gave the Abbies the first shut-out; victory in the playoff scr- lcs, as he was getting all the sup. Dori. in the world from an airtight. infield in e performance that was described as "senior calibre ball" ihni; proved just a. little too much for the undaunteii efforts of the hard-working Curran and Briggs nine,

. a o

Despite the fact. that it. wgg a 4-0 victory, rho game was new-r. theless a smart encounter all the way with the C and B nine also ttirnlng in a smooth performance on the defensive. but lust couldn't get to thc varied slants that Ryan was wheeling in over the plate, to make it a closer scoring contest.

l I I

Although it. has already been un- nounced in this column a few days ago. that the track and field meet which was scheduled to be held at the Kenslttgion Community Sports Centre on Labor Day has been postponed until a later date in order to make way for the Mari- time invitation track and field meet. and other sporting events be- ing held here the same day. the announcement is being repeated for the benefit of those who may have missed it.

THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTFETOWN SEPTEMBER 1. 1949

Neck and neck finishes. after the fields had battled it out from wire to wire 1n every heat highlighted the harness racing meeting at the reopening of St. Peter's race way yesterday afternoon when an estim- atcd 2.500 fans crowded into the enclosure to witness racing on a par with any witnessed here this season.

It was one continuous battle the trotters and pacers staged yester- day afternoon in a meeting that saw upsets occur. thrilling battles being waged from the top of the stretch to the wire that saw the photo finish camera. called into use on many occasions as the field finished closely packed and strung out in a line across the fast piece of racing dirt.

It was an auspicious re-opening for a track that in the past. has been the scene of many memorable racing battles and will likely be the scene of many more now that. it. has swung back into the Island racing picture.

Cadegun Stable Wins Two

The Cadcgan stables frcm Glace Bay were top winners of the day as Filibcrt and Ohio Hal came through with victories in the first. two events and in Filbcrvs victory his drivcr Worrcll Lewis captured twcrrzy five dollars in prize money for the fastest heat paced during the afternoon. the third mile of his class being in 2.12 3-5. The caretaker also came in for a $12.50

premium. But veteran Lee Brewer climax- ed the special awards when he

trotted off with the dash race in 2.11 2,5 after being beaten in the number one event. It; was a great performance by the doughty erm- paigner and owner-driver Bernard received an ovation as he was prc» sentcd his prize of $25.00 by Judge. Dr. B. F. Seaman.

And then the meeting had its ex- amples of sportsmanship. Previous to Lee Brewer's performance it had been announced that Lustlcla had gone the fastest trotting mllc of the afternoon but when the Brewer horse came through driver Austin Tierney. sportsman that he is immediately asked that (‘he prize money ‘be given to owner Bernard.

The batters also had their mom- cribs especially tn the third heat of Num-hcr four classified whcn Hilda Mac. owned by Clayton Green and [driven by Bernard paced off with ithe mile to reward her lone backer Iwlth $236.00 for a $2.00 part-mut- ual ticket.

The fanis started to witness thrill- ing finishes early when Tennessee Sue and Ola Budlong staged a bristling stretch duel tn the first heat of the No. I Classified ccrn~ ing under the wire inches apart with the former getting the nod; Filbert. pre-race favorite finishing fourth in the first mile wasn-‘t to be denied in the next two, how- ever. In the second mile he took over at the halfway mark to lead firm there on but the battles for the other positions were very close with Tennessee Sue shading Ola for the runner-up spot. It was much the same story in the final mile. Filbert got away on lush to my there all the way but again the horses a. length back of the leader waged nip and tuck struggles with Prince Budlong winning by a whisker from Ola Budlong for sec- cnd spot.

Great Racing Features Re - Opening Of St. Peter’s Track Yesterday

provided even stiffer competition than the first. one before Ohio Hal chalked up the second Cade- gan victory. He had tough times in heading Quick Lick in the first two

trips but in the last mile Quick Lick had his revenge as he won by a head in a driving finish with Ohio and Jessie Direct 2nd in what was another photo finish.

Mary Merk. Earle Sempleks fast. improving pacer chalked up the only straight heat victory of the after- noon in the third event on the card. She showed just u shade too much speed as she rounded the field on every trip but nevertheless the bai- tles were always close as bunched field hit the seven-elghths pole before going all out in- the dash to payoff dirt.

Just Flicka. giving ‘her best per- formance of the season chalked up wins in the first two miles of the numiber four classified to make her victory a certainty but she too fell prey to challenges in the final mile as Hilda Mac taking an early lead showed lots of pacing ability in the last quarter to stave off the closing challenge that was flung at her by the Cudmore-drlven Just Flicka.

Lee Brewer, taking the load on the backstrctch the first. trip around showed. beautiful trotting form in winning the number one dash trom Eleanor G. and three other entries while Ed. McL added the flnal upset to the card when he raced off with the number two dash in easy fashion. He built up a tremendous lead the first half and was never seriously threatened.
