EIGHT CANADIANS T0 roa wonnn SKATING i.Auniai.s

Canada's hopes of laurels in the world figure

ing championships at Davos. Swit- ore. the

zerland, rest mainly on the blade finesse of Canadian senior doub- les tltlists Frances Defoe and Nor- ris Bowden, seen above. The Tar- onto skaters last year placed fourth in the senior pair world championship. They are among the eight Canadan skaters select-

mile record. He raced exception- ally well on United States tracks where he took a. record of 1.58.

Harry MacKi-.y was honored by the Washington, D.C. Park Driv- ing Club at a recent annual din- ner dance in Milwaukee, Wis. Ho will be 76 next March. and is a brother of Tom MacKay. nation- nlly known Grand Circuit driver for the stable oi Guttenstein bro- thers of Milwaukee. When an ac- cident sidelined Tvm, I-Iarry moved into the Grand Circuit and was a consistent, winner with the Gut- tenstein stable and later with horses belonging to other winners, one of his tops being the double- gaited Raider. He continued to drive until he was almost seventy and in one of his last seasons fin- ished second to Doc Parshall among race winning drivers. The Mecxay brothers were druggists and in the locality where they lived there was a. consistent de- mand for remedies for horses. It was Harry and Tom that perfect- ed MacKay's Maxllin Injection, 1: preparation containing iodine in an oil solution which is very largely used in the United States and Canada to cure lameness in horses. .

Fran-k Ervln of Aiken, S.C., who has been the trainer and driver of Good Time since he started rac- ing. also other good horses, am- assed a total of 3174,1991 in his campaign down the Grand Circuit this year to cam his second title as leading money winning driver on that circuit. Frank also had great winnings with his stable on the half-milc tracks such as Roos- evelt and Yonkers. It was the third time since 1949 that the 48- year-old driver had earned more than :100.000 on the Roaring Grand. Eleven other drivers carn- ed more than s100,000 this year on the same circuit, which gives an indication of the tremendous in- crease in Grand Circuit purses the past'few years.

Bernard Kearney, general man- ager of the Western Harness As- sociation, has announced dates for 1953 racing as follows:-October lath to Dec. 5th at Hollywood Park in Inglewood. He will also put on a Spring meeting in 1954 again at Santa Anita. of forty days similar to that which was raced there in 1952. ,

Jim I-iarrison, head of the Pub- licity Department of the United States Trotting Association, has issued a very splendid Review of The Year, 1952 Harness Racing. These are a few extracts from it: -The year 1952 was the most suc- cessful in the history of the light harness racing sport. New records were established in virtually every category. A total of 11,927 horses races for a record 316,050,566. The figures for. attendance total- lcd 16,703,590. In the speed de. partment a total of 25 world's re- cords were equalled or battered and 49 miles in 2.00 or faster were registered. The four-year-old pacer Direct Rhythm, Del Miller up, posted a time trial mile in 1.56 H6 at I-exlnswn. Ky. in early Octo- ber. It was the fastest harness racing mile since 1938 and the third fastest pacing mile in his. low. Star's Pride, Harry Pownall lip, trotted a mile in 1.57 US at DuQuoln, Ill. in August. The per- formanoe was a world's race re- cord for a horse of either gait and a new iecord for e. trotting stal- lion either in a race or against time. Two horses and the pacer Good Time and the trotter sharp Note won in excess of 3100.000 a- piece. It was the first time any harness horse had ever won that much in a single season. Good Time was voted harness horse of the year for the second time in his career.

Drivers' standings were domin- ated by 20-year-old Billy 1-laugh- ton of Fultonville. N.Y.. and 43- year-old Levi I-farner. Blooinsburg, Pa. y)-laughton won 3311.723, :1 total tapped only once before in history. and I-larner won 120 races. equalling the modern record in that cIi480l'Y- The yearling mar- ket continued strong with excel- lent averages being posted at Lexinglon. Ky., and Harrisburg. Pa., Delaware. Ohio, and Indian- apolis. Thirty-one yearlings sold for 810,000 or more as against 23 last year. The top yearling price was 346.000, paid by QM. Saund- ers, Toledo, Ohio, for Smashaway. a Volnmite colt. As it has been in each post-war year the overall trend in harness racing growth was upward in 1062. The United states Trotting Association mem- bership ieached a total of 10,277, over a thousand mole than the previous year.

The two-year-old trotter of the year was Lively Lady. owned by Walnut Hall Btud, Donerail. Ky She is by Nibble Hanover and was WM and driven by Del Miller.

Sport Echoes From Prince county

Rabid baseball fans though we are, we cannot but admit that the Summerside Town Council's de- cision not to permit the erection nf a high board fence around the Queen Elizabeth base-ball park was a wise one. It would certain- ly look like an imposition on Granville Street residents in that area to erect such a high barrier virtually in front of their door- steps. At present ihcy have a fine view of Queen Elizabeth Park from '1heir homes. and we should judge that this feature enhances the value oi their properties con- siderably. A board fence is pretty scenery to offer them in lieu of what they now enjoy. The exten- sion of the bleachers towards Green Street. and the creation of a by-law prohibiting parking 0” these stretches of Green and Granville streets during ball games, would just about solve the problem of the baseball author- lties. We jope the Council will see their way clear to make these "two concessions...

.

Coke Grady, Ron McArthur and Paul Schurman have left for Sussex and will line up with the junior team in the dairy town. Grady was expected to play for the Summerside High School, and his absence from the line-up will be missed. All in all, however. we Ihink 'iheSum-hikids wlllbe fully as strong, if not a little stronger than last year.

Nothing much is being said about this year's McrcuryS- In fact, the North Shore League it- self seems to be getting away W a very slow s'iart. A meeting of the executive was advertised for last week, but the key men did not put in an appearance, so there was no meeting. This is in direct contrast to those South Shore hustlers ,who never miss a trick.

games. with Albany and Freetown iceing off. The High School and Cape Traverse are expected to go against each other Monday. The Bedeque Rink authorities have made a lot of improvements in their service 'to hockey patrons this year, and are expecting an- other successful year.

Bill Lawson. native of Alber- ion and now a member of the w.C.A.F. station at Summersldo, has achieved something in the game of cribbage which is akin to the golfer's hole-in-one. '1he ball player's grand-slam homer in a World Series. and the hat trick in hockey. After twenty-one years of playing crlbbage. Bill has come up at last with the perfect game. On the afternoon of January 2nd Bill was having his customary daily crihbage game with Mrs. Lawson. He was 'ihe dealer and gave himself three fives. and the jack of clubs. On the cut Mrs. Lawson turned up the five of clubs. and there it was. A hand good for the perfect 29 points. Have any of you cribbage players ever achieved it?

year was I-lillsota. He was bred and is owned by Dr. P. R. Mc- Nabb, Ithaca. Mich.. and is a son of Desota Hanover, owned by Dr. McNabb. He was trained by the late Sep Palin and Jimmie Wing- field. and driven by Wingfleld. He won 534.966 and was first to the wire in 11 of his 20 starts. His record of 2.00 375 was taken at lsexiligton. Ky. in a. race in Octob- er. It was the third fastest mile on record for a two-year-old pacer. (Owing to sep Palin's death, Jimmie Wingfleld did not drive 1-Iiilsota in his record mile, it was Joe O'Brien.) The top two- year-old pacer on a' half-mile track was Knight star 2.04 U5.

The harness horse of the year in the three-year-old trotting div- ision was 0. W. Clark's sharp Note, from Deerborn. Mich. sharp Note is a son of Phonograph and was driven by '14-year-old Bishiv- ely. The colt won the 387.687 Ham- bletonisn and the 066,221 Kentucky Futurity. He won nine of his starts and earned 0101.625, a. sin- gs season record for R trotter.

1952 was a goose hunters' year as the wildgeese took over the hunt- ing spotlight the last week of Octo- her and held it until the season closed. Black ducks enjoyed a wel- come recess during November as the hunting pressure on this spec- ies eased noticeably after the full flight or geese arrived in the prov- ince. Trout fishermen had excellent sport until late June. During July and August the catch fell off al- though there appeared to be no scarcity of trout, There were ex- ceptions of course. The old dyed in the wool enthusiasts whose flies riimpled the pools before the first light of dawn showed in the east had something to show for their efforts and those who whipped the bold salt water during daylight hours were rewarded on occasion with breath taking prizes.

Dame Fortune was kind to me during the 1952 hunting season. I spent less time afield than usual but some records were established that I am convinced will stand ihroughout the remainder of my hunting years. My hunting partner and I, incidentally he is my son, bagged our daily limit of ducks in 20 minutes on the opening morning and duplicated the feet on geese in eight minutes on the momlng of November 3rd and the flight was just beginning . . . we had to shon three flocks away, one of over 50. while we were picking up our de- coys. I never dreamed that the day would come when I'd get the goose hunting bug out of my sins- tem even temporarily but it was over two weeks at one stretch be- fore I got the urge 1- go out again.

I enjoyed A few good days afield during the season that is behind us but the cagey cock pheasants had several good laughs. My scorn was two. One for the table and the other for the farmer on whose land I hunted. The Buns were more m- operative. One day stands out a- bove all others.

Looking back over the past year I find it's not any success I may -have had in Journey's afield with red and gun that makes 1952 stand out above all others . . . it marks the beginning of a program that has been under consideration for years and at long last those plans have materialized and assumed concrete form. Last summer I su- pervised the bullding of three large dams , . . dams that have flooded approximately 2'5 or 30 acres and will give our wildlife a much need- ed boost.
