Before his death a few years ago White was known as the old- est, active golfer in the British Empire. in his early days here he practised on sand flats near the city when Bay of Fundy tides were out. Low tide gave him his only chance to play golf, as no one else had any idea of building a course and owners of nearby fields wouldn't think of allowing their use for a. strange sport when they were needed for agmiultural pur- poses.

These horses are both owned by F‘. C. Mccurdry of Trum. The prospects for an ex- cellent day's racing tomorrow af- ternoon seems to be exceptionally good. ‘The free-for-all is of course exp. :1 to be between Azoff and Harvesmr but it has long been lmown that anything can happen in a horse race and Josie the Great. McElwyn the Great and Plucky Swtt may have something to say before the final heat isover. Josie the Great has been working some fast miles over the Summer- side oval.

The 2.21 Mixed has '1 entries, all practically sure starters, and the 226 Mixed with ill entries will round out a swell program, The slow class will be run in two div- islons. the lrotters in one class. the pocers in another.

Because of Britain's heavy de- fence Brgaparations Bisley this year lacks squads of Regular Army men who 0l‘dilIil.l'll'_V do the heavy chores of registering the scores and the clerical staff is also thin- ned out. As a result there were long delays in tabulation and checking of the score-cards along the long firing line. The shortage of men and equipment, taken a- way for - r Armv camps this summer, has caused the Imperial meet to be shortened from two weeks to one.

Harvey Scores Decision Win Over McAv0y

LONDON” July 10-Len Harv . British and Empire llg.hthea.v'y- we ht champion. won a. 15-round dec ion over Jock McAvoy to- night in a bout billed for the world light-heavyweight championship.

After surviving a bearing in the 14th round, Harvey caught McAvoy in his comer in the final round and beat him badly with a. series of hard right crosses. The champ- ion was wobbllng in the 14th and only his big weight advantage en- abled him to score so heavily in the 15th. Harvey weighed 175 pounds to McAvoy's 167.

The bout was designated as a world title affair after John Henry- Lewis was refused permission to fight Harvey because of his fall- ing eyesight and the British Box- ing Board of Control decided i: would no longer recognize Dewis as world champion.
