Of particular interest to this pro- vince are his statistics concerning it ,which we quote in part. “Prince Edward _Island had ten meetings, twelve days racing and fifty-live races, most of the fastest horses in the Maritimes participating. The fastest gelding record of the season by a Maritime owned horse was made there. Maritime track records were broken, the Island leading the provinces in colt racing, hgving the only colt stakes meeting of the year. Always a feature of the races in the Provinces, the mhibition meet at Charlottetown was again an outstanding success with many entzies. the 2.24 Pace having two

divisions.

Charlottetown gave the largest amount in prizes and was the only track to give money premiums in leading drivers and grooms. ‘me colt stakes were under the man- agement o: the Prince. Edward Is- land Harness Racing Club who are doing so much to encourage breed-

ing in the Maritimes.

The starters. in the three stakes which were for hotters and pacers were so numerous that they were divided into events for both gaits, thus making five races. Northam, Summerside, Alberion and Mon-

One by one the turf Journals have ceased publication. Household names like The Horse Review, 'I‘hc Trotter- and Pacer, The American Sportsman, have gone to the limbo of lost publications.

Titleholder

In» (By Alan Gould. Associated Pull Sports Writer)

NEW YORK, Nov. lli-Sixto Ed- oohar, a masterful little piece of fighting machinery from Pusrto Rico, easily lifted the bantamweight championship ‘ _,‘ from Inu Salica of New York, in a iii-round match in Madison c Garden. Escobar floored Salica in the third round and gave the titleholder a terrific beating. B

Salica weighed 117 pounds and Escobar 117 3-4.

Escobar, pouring a stream of left hands at Salica from start to fin- ish, outboxed, outpunched and out- smarted the champion at cvery turn. He put Saiica down for a count of nine in the third round with a volley to the head and piled up a lopsided margin on points

Salica's one spurt of effective fighting. in the ninth and 10th rounds. was short-lived but he stood up gamely under heavy punishment throughout the last five rounds. The vhimnicn was bleeding badly from a damaged nose and so weakened by the battering that he was barely able to keep his feet at the finish.
