Wins Canadian Ch’ship

‘large aim list For Race Events 0ld ilome Week ~

lief survey of the entries for “Old Home Week" races. Aug. 15th to 19th, shows that upwards of 200 horses are entered, states secret- ary, Commander G. H. Buntain.

It will be the greatest entry list of all time for a Maritime Prov- ince track, and not only the Mari- time Province, but horses from Quebec and possibly from the State of Maine will take the word “G0" in the over $14,000.00 purse 070x115.

Four afternoons and three nights will probably not be enough to give opportunities to all and it is quite likely that another night's racing will have to be added.

1t 1s an old axiom of race meets and exhibitions that people follow the horses, and it ls quite likely that the largest crowds ever to attend race meets in this Province Illi be on hand to see the fun, August 15th to 19th.

AUTOMATIC BOOKLET

(By W. I. Wheat-icy)

RIVERSIDE, Golf and Country Club, Saint John, N. 13., July 31- (CP)—Smiiing Dick Chapman, 38- year-old stock broker from Oster- ville, Mass., came through in a grim, uphill struggle Saturday to win the Canadian teur golf championship.

Chapman defeated Phil Farley, of Toronto, at the 38th hole, the second extra hole of the match, in the drama-packed final before a gallery of 2,000.

It was the first time Chapman has competed tn the Canadian am- ateur and the third successive year the title has gone to the United States.

Defending champion Frank Stranahan of Toledo passed out of the picture earlier at the hands of Tommy Riddeil, of Montreal, who himself was eliminated by Farley in the semi-final.

Farley appeared to have the match safely in hand and it: was u heart-breaker for the 37-year-old Torontonian to lose.

l-lis short game had Chapman baffled in the mornlnS 13-31010 round and Farley was two holes up when they went to lunch.

In tho afternoon Farley lzrad- ually increased his lead until he was five up after 25 holes. Then his strong short game went sour and Chapman, putting better than he ever did throughout the week- long tournament, took command and seized on Farley! mistakes.

Ironically, it was the short game that back-fired on Farley. Up to the 25th, he was placing his sec- ond shots boldly to the green and closer to the pin than Chap- man.

Farley tried to play it safe with his lead and it cost him the championship.

Date Conflict ironed Out

The conflict of dates between 8t. Peter's Raceway and Parkview Raceway which were both claim- ing August 10th has been amicably settled. Parkvlew will carry on its race meet Wednesday after- mon, August 10th, and will give up their other date of August 31st to St. Peter's Raceway. The P. E. I. Harness Tracks Association will give its full assistance to St. Pet- er's and the starting gate which

had been booked for Parkview will

I be available.

Some 5000 enthusiastic racing fans saw another sensational horse racing program at the Exhibition track on Saturday night when i0 full classified events took the word from the official starter in a display of flashing finishes and expert reinsmanship. _

- a . .

Coming to the fore in the speed department were Vella La Vella and Lucky Number, the former pacing the fastest mile of the season in the number four dash. making the mile circuit in 2.08 4-5 wihile the latter paced away to a new mark of 2.111-5 in the eighth dash event on the card to clip two and four-fifth seconds ofi’ his previous mark.

. o - o

Willard Kelly, veteran reinsman in Island circuits. handled thie lines in both instances and was the outstanding driver for the evening when he piloted a total of five winners across the finish line in some really stirring track battles.

o o o

However, these were only a small portion of the splendid rac- ing that made up the night per- formance, with every race with- out exception proving to be a thrill-a-minute battle from wire to wire and the favourites again giv- ing way to outsiders in a series of upset victories that have been a consistent factor in the racing here this season.

- o o a

With the pre-Old Home Week racing being usually just good tune-ups for the outstanding week- long racing which is art of this big annual event, it h s been an entirely different story this seas- on, with each and every meet be- lug of outstanding quality and providing the rabid Island racing fans with some of the finest rac- ing to be seen here in years, which is going to be hard to eclipse even when the much- looked-for Old Home Week racing rolls around this month.

o . o o

Not only has the racing stock taking part in this season's racing been of exceptional quality, but is is the opinion of this column that a great portion of this year's successes has been largely due to the splendid work being carried out by those who are responsible for doping out the classified events, so that each and every race has been a well-balanced. closely contested battle regardless of whether the events have been in the fast or slow time category.

O O O O

Other sporting features over the week-end sa the Charlottetown Abbies split a double bill with the two Summerside entries in regular Island Baseball Leagud competition at “ orial Field Sunday afternoon, the locals handing the R.C.A.F. aggregation a 14-6 aheliacking in the opening encounter, but bowing out to the Curran and Briggs nine in the final contest‘by a.6-2 count.

I O

Although the ball was pretty ragged in spots. and the hot, sult- ry weather drove most of the bail fans out of the City to cooler cllmes along the seashore, which gave the bail players little en- couragement to turn in top per- fu- the games nevertheless featured some smart power-hlt- ting which saw 23 being tapped out in the first encounter and 20 in the second. with the Abbies ac- counting for 27 in the two meet- jngs.

0 O I I

Members of the Provincial Rifle Association were also hard at it again at the Squaw Point Range on Saturday afternoon when a large number of marksman gath- ered to compete in another of tho Association's spoon shoot competi- tions, with Major A. F. Gprmley leading the field with a 00.

O O O O

Marfler Nels Whitiock announ-

Attendance records for a night race meeting here went by the boards Saturday night when an estimated crowd of well over 5000 jammed into the Exhibition track to witness another evening of sensational, fast racing that once again saw favorites beaten as "outsiders" came through to win five of the ten dashes on the pro- gram.

Driving, nip and tuck struggles in the stretch, duels on the back- stretch the second trip around, and closely packed fields battling for the lead as they hit into the homestretch, were part and parcel oi the ever-changing picture the fans witnessed over a track that was lightning-fast due to the per- fect racing weather predominat- ing. ,

Kelly Wins Five Dashes

There were many outstanding features but holding the spot- light was veteran reinsman Wil- lard Kelly's performances in tak- ing hoises home in front in five of the events, and also handling the ribbons as Vella La Vella paced the fastest mile of the local season, going the mile in the number four event in 2.08 4-5. Kelly figured in another record- breaking performance also when he took his own Lucky Number from far behind to win the num- ber eight event. The mile was in 22.11 1-5. a new record for Lucky Number. displacing his former mark of 2.14.

Highest pay on the pari-mutuels W88 the $22.50 paid on Billy Conn, in the first heat of the number two event as the big crowd pour- ed $19,700 into the wickets in the wagering during the evening.

The uncertainty surrounding the entire racing program showed up in the very first mile as Kelly's Nightmare, trotting smoothly all the way, took over an early led and then outtrotted the other ent- rants in a driving finish. winning by half a length from the Baron who came on very fast from the top of the stretch home in a field that was closely packed at the seven eighths pole.

Bonnie Dale, heavily backed the first heat. surged from behind to redeem herself the second mile. With the field strung out in a line until they hit the back side the second trip around, Bonnie held her drive until the three- quarters pole had been reached [coming on from there to nip Bar- on and Buddy Budlong in anoth- er piclure finish.

Billy Conn, handled superbly by Ensor Bowness, added to the up- sets when he came like lightning in the stretch to stave off the fast closing Neil Kain-ruck, with Dale B, the erstwhile leader just nstep behind. Like Bonnie Dale. Nell had her moment in the seventh event as she headed the same

Ola Budlong, Lucky‘ Number, Ohio Hal and Billy‘ McVey had two spectacular racing duels in the numbers three and eight events. The first mile as the field waited for the last. end of it to make their drives, Ola B took over from Billy McVey at the seven-eighths polorytacticaliy right to the wire all four were lu the running but it was llili- Ola with Ohio Hal second by a hold over Billy and Lucky Number a foot or two behind in fourth place. _

From there to tho wlro it was a terrific duel but -Lucky Number, going the mile in 1111-5 collared the leaders thirty yards from pay dirt to head Ola Bud- long. with Billy McVoy again third and Ohio Hal fourth.

Vella La Vella was Just too good for Wilkln, Josedala Hoosier and Cari Frisco, tho latter drawn due to lameness after tho ‘first imile, in the feature event of the evening. It was a season-long story displayed again. Both trips Driver Willard Kelly waited for the last quarter to make his move and when he did Vella mowed thefield down like ten-pins. She went the first mile ln 2.00 4-5 ‘with the last quarter being in 301-0 seconds, and captured» the second mile handily in 2.1114. ~Wl1kln was contending horse in tho first trip, with Josedalo Hoosier snov- ing up to the runner-up spot in the second mile.
