.Winners In Straight Heats

August Queen -A_n-d Jack Hardy Divisional Winners In 2.24 Class. Vaudeville ActiV ell Received.

one of the largest ‘Tuesday's at- tendances in recent years saw a wonderful afternoon's sport at the Exhibition grounds yesterday. The racing was fast and competition of the most spirited kind, and in gome of the races victory perched on the banner of horses that were not regarded as having a. chance. It was the kind of racing that the fans like, the uncertain kind. True it is that Betty S. came through with a win in straight heats in the 2.12 Trot and Pace, although she wu extended to the limit by Mar- jorie M. and Heatherbeli as the two heats ‘in 2.09 indicate. ,

The 2.15 Trot was the cause oi’ s lot of bad scoring because of the rivalry between several of the starters. Calumet Bee.»making her first start under the new owner- ship, showed some real trotting ability buttlred at the finish of the second and third heats. Her sixth position in the summa y in the first heat was duc to s. break at the send off.

Two Divisions

The 2.24 Pace had so many en- tries that the management divided it into two races giving full purses of $350 for each race. They did not. want lo use elimination heats which would mean that only eight of the horses would have a chance to see the finals, so generously put up the extra money.

It was the two divisions of this pace that caused the racing to ex- tend until seven o'clock. The largo number cf horses of comparatively green material made things diffi- cult for Starter Acorn and al- though he was handed much ad- vice and some rather caustic oom- menfs. yet it is difficult tc see how he could have done very much beltcr under the circumstances.

Tho highlight of this class was lhe performance of August Queen, who won the third and fourth heals and race. Driver Cummings was taken down after the sixth false score in the third heat for soaring aheiid of the pole horse ind driver Peter Conroy substitut- ed- The old veteran got away in fiflh position, gradually crawled up lo third at the three-quarter pole and than entering the stretch was back at Bob O Boy's wheel. The cngey Peter then made his drive and with the cheers oi the grand stand ringing in his ears crossed the finish wire a winner.

The afternoon was featured by spills. broken sulkles, broken har- ness rind a lot of waits caused by these. but the gala vaudeville per- iormnnces and the singing, of Charlie Chamberlain filled in and made the time pass so quickly very few rcnlized that the hour was so late when the finish came.

The vaudeville acts were well received: the Cimse act is all it has boon cracked up lc be, a super- sensational performance. Charlie Chamberlain made a big hit and will no doubt be one of the big names before the public in the near future.

Following is a. short summary oi each race:-

he managed to get his nose out in front he would have set up a new track trotting record. The present one is 2.10%. Driver Cameron cer- tainly got the best that was in him out.

- 2.16 rm

This was the most talked of race of the day. It had six starters, all good trotlcrs. It took a lot of scoring to get them away, Holly- mod Lee making breaks and some of the others also acting badly. Af- ter about cight or ten scores they got the Go, Calumet Bee and Helen D. going to a very bad break. Calumet Bee managed to beat the flag but Helen D. was regrettably distanced.

Alan Harvester got away well and grabbed the pole. making av- ery post a winning one. Hollvrood Leo was second until the home stretch when Lusty Frisco who had been back fourth. trotted a

second. Mr. Squires fourth and Miss McTyre second.

Second heat-Again there was a lot of scoring and when they got the word Hollyrood Leo was off his feet and the driver could not get him down to business so he got the flag. This heat was particularly exciting between Alan Harvester and Miss McTyre, the latter being beaten only by a neck in a rather high class finish. Mr. Squires went the fastest in his career, driven by Tyndall Sample, who had him on

high from wire to wire. Lusty Frisco disappointed by being fourth -

rhodium heat had exactly the same summary excerpt that Calu- met Bee displaced Mir. Squires.

2.24 Pace, First Division

, Them were ten starters in the first division and they Bot sway on the second score to a straggling start with Martindell getting the best of it. Out in the clear he had no difficulty in keeping away from his opposition, August Queen out- footlng the others for second place, Josie the Great third. Bob 0 Boy fourth, Todd Brewer fifth.

The second heat took a lot of scores and when they finally did get away the pole horse, Martin- deli, was almost standing still through s break. There was a big shout from the spectators, but Starter Acorn stated after fc driver Avery that he had seen him going on his stride, than looked across the other side of the track and when he gave the word thought everything was OK. It was a lucky break for Bob O Boy who took ad- vantage of a fairly good start and mowed down‘ all the opposition that was in front of him, got out in the lead at the half and was never headed from there to the wire. August Queen second, Balbo a very close third. Josie the Great fourth. Billy Witlc fifth.

Third Heat-Starter Acorn had a lot of difficulty this heat Finally at the request of the 1116808 drivel‘ Cummings was taken down and the old veteran Peter Conroy sub- stituted. Peter was fourth horse getting away Bob o B01’ out in front and Bi ly Witte second at the half with Baibo third. August Queen then started to move up and entering the home stretch was at Bob O Boy's wheel. The battle down the stretch had everybody shouting; finally August Queen showed in front and then Driver Conroy and horse received an ovation.

There being three heat winners it was necessary to have a fourth h”; go August Queen. Bob O Boy and Martindell raced off. August Queen winning. Martindell second and Bob O Boy third. Bob O Boy took a new record in this 1100 0f 2.14.

Kiwanis TTim Devon l5-6 T0 Tie Series

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

ST. STEPHEN, N’. B., Aug. 8)_ St. Stephen-Midtown Kiwanis went on one of their old-time batting sprees here tonight to subdue Devon 15-6 and make a third game here necessary Friday to decide the semi-final of the New Brims- wick baseball playdowns. The win- riers will meet the victorious nine of the other semi-final series open- ing at Hampton tomorrow night between Saint John Trumps and Hampton Ossekeags.

Devon started out to duplicate last night's feat when they nosed out Kiwanis 5-4 but the Maritime champions evened matters in their half. The score was tied at six all in the fifth. but Kiwanis routed the visitors in the next inning by counting nine runs.

Brownell, replacing Clark on the mound for‘ St. Stephen-Milltown in the second inning. held Devon helpless excepting their sixth and

run

storm and finished a very close m,

Wiley didn't last long in the box when the Kiwanis began hitting him in the last of the sixth. Bur- rage and Lawrence fared little bet- ter. Seven hits Jaccounted for six of the runs. Harry Boles led the parade with three. Every player on the local line-up did a share of the hitting.

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) Home Runs Yesterday: Iooxx. Athletics, two; Simmons, White Sox; Sewell. White Sox; Chapman. Yankees; Greenberg, Tigers; Solt- era, Browns; Berger, Braves; Ott. Giants, Ieiber, Giants; Rcthrock. Cardinals; Medwick, Cardinals. one each.

and it proved a happy inspiration. as he seems to like that way of going and was the class of the bunch yesterday. Like the other division this pace had a lol. of scoring, some broken sulkles through collisions, broken harness which meant delays and some ex- asperation for all parties. ' Real Great, owned by Frank Mc- Kay, with a summary of 3. 2, 3. won second money and delighted Frank's friends with his good fin- ishes. Bud Cope looked a winner on at least two occasions and fin- ished very close in the second heat. Just losing second position in the other two heats to Real Great in stretch drives. Harvey Aubrey went a consistent race. finish 4, 4, 4. and Roy Volo, Jr., who had plenty

Todays races will probably be as g od a programme as has ever been seen at Charlottetown. There are four classes, starting with the Two Year Old Trot and Pace, followed by the 2.15 'I‘mt and Pace, the 2.25 Trot. Maritime Bred and finally the 2.18 Pace.

THE TWO YEAR OLDS

The Two Year Old Class is one that is being taken a. great deal of interest in, principally since young- stcrs are an uncertain quantity on the race track. They may or may not perform up to their trials. They haven't enolqh experience at the same to make them reliable.

H1 Socks, owned by George Mac- Dowell of Summer-side. has won the most so far, with a mile in 2.24,- the fastest ever stepped by a Two Year Old in the Maritimes. Miss Victoria, owned by Power Brothers, Charlottetwwn, has won the next best in trips against the watch, having been a mile in 2.27. Starrett Volo has paced in 2.32, Mille Kal- muck in 2.34. Guy Zamboro, Rey- monette. Queen Helen and Jackie Vcfl), have each been very close to the 2.30 mark. while Guy Annie has beaten it a trifle. The Two Year Olds will be off on their first trip just before 2 o'clock.

THE 2.15 PACE

This will be a dandy race. with I'm Alone, 2.10, Patrick Direct, 2071-4. Plucky Sottt. 2.07 1-2. King Spruce, 2.10. and Maxine Great. 2.11 1-2, - five evenly matched pacers that can all con- tend. or very close to it. Anyoneu race, we would say.

THE 2.25 TROT (Maritime Bred) This is a class that always was very interesting in the past. but did not fill last season. This year it has u 500d entry list. Eight horses will take the word, and there doesn't seem to be much difference be- tween any of them.

Peggy Icngset, 2.17, is one of the best liked. Alliset, Peter 8.. 2.16 l-2, and Happy Boy, 2.19 1-4. are also favourites. Them has been a. lot of talk about Star Dillon. Some say he has been in 2.17 over Upton ‘Track. Mae West and Almer Worthy will complete the entry list. It should be a good race.

THE 2.18 TRDT AND PACE There ls speed t; burn in this clam, and although Star (3.. 2.09, seems to have the edge on the others, and the much talked of Abner T. Glegg, 2.04 1-4. will also take part. yct the uncertainties of horse racing make it difficult ic pick a winner. Abner T. Clegg, on the fcvrm he has displayed in the United States recently, should be the winner, but we can't figure him that way after his long trrek of fifteen hundred mies from Penn- sylvannia, and the change of cli- mate. If he wins. he must be a super horse.

Faxy Pete. 2.13 1-2. Jo "ie Great, 2.13 l-4, Trixie Volo, 2.11 1-4. Winnie Winkle, 2.12 1-2, Quaker Girl, 2.13 1-4, and Signal Senator. 2.13. make up the balance of the starters. in what we predict will be gne of the sensational races of the
