Gay. proprietor of doncton Speedway. informs us hat due to the continued delay :1 the arrival of the necessary -oles. reflectors and other equip- bent it would not be possible to lperate as I night racing plant until late in July. so night racing n Moncton will be out for this veason. It is particularly disap- aoin-ting to Mr. Gay who had gone '0 a lot of trouble securing wire ind other necessary articles. How- war. he will have his usual pro- ;ram of Twilight Racing com- nencing on Wednesday evening. lune 20th at 6.30, also other larg- sr programs during the season.

Johnny simpson. one of Amer- icais top drivers. has I new method of preparing a harness racing

stable. The tremendous demand 'or race horses has prompted limpson to turn out standard

ireds on a mass production basis. Simpson. who is only 31 years old, me 53 head at Roosevelt Race- vay. That is far more than any lther trainer in the country has :nder his command. probably nore than any handler has ever irought to a race track before. He zegan the season with 60 horses at Jrlando. Florida and although the nortality rate among trotters and tacers-particularly young ones- s very high. he only dropped sev- .-n of them when he moved to Roosevelt.

Simpson's system is one of absol- ute organization and split second liming. A public address system was installed at his Orlando barns lhe past winter. When he was ready for I horse I message went sut to that particular groom. As he completed I warm up with one horse another was ready at track tide. A report system is kept on every horse. Grooms check the horses before the workouts and a meet. provides a complete training aistory. Trainers, assistant train- era and grooms take note of the horse's gear, his every action on the track, his reaction to various ?tetn.s such as shadows on the f.rack. harrows, tractors. etc. If the horse jumps the place is not- Ed along with the type of break and the time consumed before ,he horse is straightened out. When Simpson picks up the chart of a iorse he knows everything from A 50 Z concerning that particular .-torse.

The Cherlottctown track is rap- idly filling up with horses. the lat- cst addition being the stable of Earle Sempie. Kensington and George Thompson, Summerside, with Babe Brittcn and a 2 year old. Next week 9. number will move in from Nova Scotle. and New Brunswick and when open- ins hliht. June 23rd. rolls around practically every stall will be oc- :upied. The fastest mile stepped

most of the horses are being trained. miles in 2.20 to 2.25 with young ones in slower time. All thel horses at the track are consider- ably behind those trained in Syd- ney and Truro. For instance on Friday night. June llth. at Sydney. Little Brown G. (Mauger) won the first heat of the Free For All in 2.12 with Vella La Vella second and the second heat in 2.11 2V5, Veils LI Vella second. .

Redwood Grattan (lfurvis) won in 2.12 US and 2.14 V5 with Peter- at-Court second both trips. The trotter cobblestone (W. Lewis) wonhis first mile in 2.13 V5 with Rajah Hanover second, Prairie Pete third, and the second heat in 2.14 with Annie Scott second, This is certainly very fast time for so early in the season in the Marltimes-faster than we can ever remember of. Our prediction of 2.10 for the trotter Cobblestone seems to be a safe bet. Redwood clrattan in winning his first dash came within four-fifths of a sec- ond of his record and shows form like that he exhibited two years ago. He is I horse with tremend- ous speed and could easily take a

record of 2.10. l

Joe O'Brien has in his stable a very promising two-year-old pac- er. Vonian Chief by Chief Abbe- dale, dam, Silver Queen 2. 2.09 U4 by Mr. M2cElwyn. Recently at Toledo he won with him in 2.06 1l5-very fast time for a two- year-old over a half-mile track. particularly this early in the sea- son. It speaks volumes for Joe's ability to take an unbroken colt and develop him into sllch a per- former. At the same meeting Joe won the s5.000 2.15 trot with Stewart Hanover.

Every once in awhile we pick up a harness horse paper and note where some valuable horse has broken a leg or received other in- juries that incapacitates him from racing. This is something that very rarely happens to a horse in this country, whether due to our tracks being safer or trainers more careful we cannot say. The latest one to be put out of business is the sensational Henry Volo p. 2.01. 'record taken over I half-mile track. His career came to an abnrpt end two weeks ago at Rose- croft Raceway when he broke a bone in his right front ankle. it was the first start of the year for him and he had worked handily in 13.05 a few days previously. The accident occurred just after the star pacer had circled the field to take the lead from his outside post position. He was owned and driven by W. E. Miller who was leading race driver in the U. S. A. two years ago. It is expected that he can be saved for breeding purposes. He is a son of Volomlte. Not so fortunate was the owner of the pacer Adam Cash 2.01 4l5 that suffered a broken leg recent- ly at Yonkers Raceway and had to be destroyed. He was I seven- year-old stallion. the son of Calu- met Adam 1.59 3H. that started out this season with excellent prospects. Last year he won near- ly 519.000:

The City Baseball League. whi ” IQ for has only been 399" in ac ion in three scheduled tilts. is al eady shaping up into what looks like a promising league of close, smart action for fans here this summer. In the latest Coil- test. played at Memorial Field on Thursday night. the Falcons and Stars gave fans in attendance plenty of good. snappy ball that ended in a narrow 1-0 verdict for the Falcons after seven innings of play.

Making their appearances on the mound for the first time this season. Wendell "Gump" Gillie and Ev. Beagan came up with creditable showings. the two jun- ior hurlers giving up only is total of nine hits between them and striking out 12 batters. Although the -loser. Beagan of Stars pitch- ed three-hlt ball and whiifed sev- en batters. whlle Gillis allowed six hits but bore down in the critical moments to avert pend- ing rallies and keep the Stars scoreless. Gililsi strikeouts. five in all. came when he needed them most:

For the first three innigs. Bea- gan was definite master of Fall- cons batting power to hold them down to no run. no hit ball that saw nothing get past the infield during that time. Getting to Bed- gatgs offering: a bit in the next three innings, Falcons tagged him forvlia single in each frame. two of them being nipped in the bud by sharp plays on bases by the infield, but the final one by Bu--k Whitlock In the sixth paying off in the winning run. It was of the unearned variety scored by Lorne Hennessey. Ilorne got to firstxand second on a double error, made third on Whitlock's singlc and came home on the throw.

lLaqky "C-ump" Gilli: had his tightest moment in the second frame. but came out of it ult- scathed. Giving up the only triple of the same to Gus Flynn. Glllis loaded the bases with a walk to Maurice Williams and hitting Billy"Leonard. Putting them In close and hard to handle. Gillls forced Charlie Ready into a poo foul that was gathered in neatly by catcher Arnold McCallum and struck-out his rival moundsman Beassn. Another nice catch by McC'allum on Kenny MacKenziI.-'s foul pop-up retired the side to take Gillis out of the deep hole he had dug for himself early in the frame.

.m.m....:.:..:.. a small request to make of the players for the next week or two and on their behalf this column passes it on to you. the player. it appears the various teams have been pretty well monopolizing Memorial Field during the past few weeks for practice sessions, games. etc.. and many of the lo- cal traok and field athletes have been unable to use the field for training punposcis in preparation for the Festive Week Invitation Track and Field Meet to be held on July 2nd. 0 O

For that reason local authori- ties have set aside Monday, Wed- nesday. Friday and Saturday eve- nin-gs at Memorial Field during the next two weeks for the use of those training for the big meet. and officials request all ball players to please refrain frcmuzing the field on those nights in favor of those training for the track meet. As one oi- iicial put it yesterday, "the ball players have been given free use of the field to get their teams organized and ready for league play uninterrupted, and now that the baseball is rolling. we hope that they will co-operate with the track and field boys for the next two weeks so that they can get in condition for the big meet. Those nights will in no way in- lerfere with their baseball sche- dule." he concluded. "and will only be for a matter of I couple of weeks I.ny;avay.".

In announcing their opening date for night racing. Saturday. June 33rd. the Charlottatown Driving Park and Provincial Ex- hibition Assoctation have also made known many new feature! and improvements to their new plant to make it even more It- trsctivc and convenient than ever to both spectator Indt horsemen alike. In addition to the regular clean-up program that has every- thing sparkling clean, all new buildings have been erected to replace the old ones and mIny more added. the grandatmd itself being the only exception.

Harry ”Kid" Poulton of Char- lottetown will dt-fend his Mari- time welterweight" boxing crown at the Forum on Tuesday night when he meets Howard Leslie of Saint John. title go. it was announced here last night by Forum manager Bill Brown.

It will be the main event of I four-bout card featuring a six- roundcr between Johnny Russell and Louis Lafferty. a fourtround affair between Bud Ramsay of Summerside and Lloyd Carr. City. and a four-round curtain raiser bringing together Texas George Steele of Sr-vris and Herb Court of Bedford. the latter event will be I return engagement to a. bristling bout here about two weeks ago when Steele scored a close decision over the Bodford boy. v

Poulton. one of the smartest boxers to come out of the local crop of fighters in recent years, will be in tip-top shape for the coming bout as two recent victories for him against mainland oppon- ents points out in no uncertain terms.

As recently as Thursday night

at Moncton, Harry scored an eight-round technical knockout over Ernie Durelle of Bale Ste.

Anne. N. 13., while here at the Forum on June 5th. he took a un- amious decision from Harold Schultz of Dartmouth. N. S.

Leslie has challenged Poulton to the title match. and is expected to be a worthy opponent for the local boxer.

Manager Bill Brown stated last night that "Leslie will wind up his training at the Forum on Monday night. and any wishing to see him go through his routine are wei- come."

Montague Tennis club Meeting

Heavy catches of sea trout. creels fined to overflowing with silvery beauties averaging I pound and better, have been landed by lucky anglers this past few weeks but the trout have not been con- slstent. Take North Lake for in- stance. A large school of sea trout, some allegedly in the five and six pound bracket. hover between the bridge and the harbour mouth. Once or twice I week someone there -at the right time will hook into trout that will test the best of tackle.

O O O

The trout appears to drift in and out and not always with the tide. Heavy blobs of residue from a. starch factory on its headwat- ers is suspected to be the cause of the fish not venturing above the highway bridge. some heavy trout. up to four pounds. have been landed below the bridge and several others in a heavier class have been played and lost.

I sometimes wonder how it is we have any large trout left. The number that go out by the net, jig and 'set line' route is truly amazing. There are places where a big trout doesn't stand a chance. one evening last week I stopped with a companion on I rise over- looking a north shore pond to which sea trout have access. With the aid of field glasses one could spot a line of corks. spaced at regular intervals. bobbing on the breeze rippled water. A teen age lad was anchored in a homemade boat a short distance from the line of corks busily swinging a long bamboo pole.

I found myself wondering what would happen if the corks bobbed under. I didn't get the chance to find out as they continued to bob serenely on the slight ripple. Fin-

The courts committee reported that part of the fence had been

fixed. the courts had been har-1

rowed. raked, and rolled. and that a few more days would put the courts in readiness for play.

It was proposed that men be hired to complete the work, owing to the fact that the High School students will be writing examinations in the near future.

It was moved that the finance committee contact the prospective members and collect fifty per cent of the dues so that the work could be completed.

It was also moved that a com- mittee including Douglas John- ston, Cecil Mosher. Bl-oyee Beck. and Stephen Hessian determine ways and means of raising fin- ances to carry out the proposed plans of the temiis club.

There being no further busi- nose. the meeting adjourned.

NEW YORK. June 15 - (AP) - The old Joe Louis dynamite.cx- pioded on ring-rusty nee savold at 2:20 of the sixth round tonight for a sensational knockout victory over the blood-smeared veteran recognized as world chImpion'in Britain. i

Looking his best since he start- ed on the long comeback trail toward a promised September date with champion Erzard Charles. the 37-year-old bomber received In ovItion as he strode from the ring.

A power-laden left hook out of I flurry of punches dumped 35- year-old savold on the deck for the only knockdown of the scrap. Lee struggled to get up and was just about to make it when referee Ruby Goldstein enfolded his bloody hulk in his arms.

spouting blood from I battered nose. Savold was out down meth- odically by Louis who made good his pre-fight prediction in the exact round.

"I think I'll knock him outin the sixth." he said at his train- ing camp 10 days ago.

The old Louis left jab was at its best. seldom did he miss his mark. Time after time he folio - ed it with a crunching short r ht uppercut as part of I three pu ch combination that wound up wth another hook.
