Maine. . , one of the things we often won- der about is how trainers can bring along two-year-olds. have I them compete in so many races and take records bett.er.than'21IJ and yet be sound and continue racing for years. The past season the trottcr with the most wins was Thunderation, by the. walnut Hall stallion Guy Day. He is a gelding yet made 28 starts, was is times. first. '2 times second and once third- and took a record of 2.04 and set up two -world's records for u ' two-year-olds, one being a mile in 2.0! which Willed out the former record held by Grey- hound 1.ilG'.t and the other for two, one mile heats. .

in second place is Mighty Fine. that made 31 starts. was 12 times first, 8 times second. twice third and took a. record of 2.0t 2x5. Main Liner made 23 starts. won 10 times. was 8 times seoonii and once third and took a. record of 2.06 3x5. scotch Rhythm made 17 starts, was 9

The Grand circuit which will dis- tribute over sl.000.000 in purses in 1951, makes its opening at: Roose- velt. Raceway on May 2:st., and its closing date is December Is: at. Hol- lywood Park. Cal. That will mean five weeks more racing than last. year and it is possible that even more racing may be on the cards as Yonkers Raceway. N. Y. is con- sidering opening on April 30th and ocntinulng until May 10th with Grand circuit events staged there.

Brockton. Mass. race track which in the long ago was one of the most, popular in the east and the Brock- tan Fair one of the finest. in Amer- ica and noted for its wonderful har- ness racing programs every fail. some years ago substituted the nin- nsrs and other attractions. The management has had 'a change of heart and now ion members have formed a Brockton Driving Club. each owning horses and training them over that oval. It is expected that. this year harness racing .will again be on the prograins.

Back in 1909 quite a number of Islandhorsemen made the trip to Brockton after the Exhibition meet. in Halifax, the horses going by boat Yo goston. Mamie P. and Queen Marie. owned by Reg stems, Char- lottetown, Ozen D. by T. Gordon Ives. Montague. and Tom Trim. a trotter owned by P. S. Brown. The owners and Pic Brown, Dr. Lod- well. Jack Irving and several others went. by train. It was one of the biggest race meets ever held in Brcckton and Is fast. as one race

as finished Another was right. on

c way. The starter was the famed Albert H. Merrill, whose advertis- ing sold a great many trotters and paccrs. some of them in the Mari- tlmes. but very few-lived up to the glowing descriptions given them. Tom Trim could get away like a bullet and he won one of his heats from a very large field. Ozen D. was fourth in a field of eleven horses but Mayme P., slow to get away did not. make the grade nor did Queen Merlegl-lowevcr. everyone had a good time, and the Island stables were visited by hundreds of ex-Islanders. '

N Just as the old year was closing a horseman friend of many years. Oharles A. Large. passeri way. A day or two previously we ef. him and he looked active and well. so it was quite a shock to hear of his passing. charlie and his brother Bert were of the old school. Their livery stable on Queen Street was the meeting place for most of the horsemen and it was there that the good and bad points of the various trotters and .psccrs in the Province were discussed. That livery stable, by the way. was run in the most per- fect. manner. the horses were al- wsya..wsll fed and welhgroomcd and in the days before the autos it. was a sight to see the teams they would turn out for wcddlhgs. opening of the House and such occasions. with Bert. faultlcssly drtssed handling the ribbons. -

Their father. A. N. Large. was one of the prominent men of the city and fer many years the Fire chief and anyone who saw him at a fire can recall. his very striking face and figure. when the char- lottetown Driving Park was opened he tnught the trotting stallion Golden. a beautiful light golden bay. and for years Golden was one of the mainstays of the fast trotting chases. The Large brothers were al- ways on the job and Charlie kept a bcok each year in which he re- corded the weather. summaries of races and other interesting matters and arguments -were very often set- tlcggby referring to "oharlle's Book". His Journey through life made him many friends and we never heard of him having an enemy.

A dog has been man's hunting companion "and helper since time tmmemoriui andihe still is a faith- ful companion and essential cog in the hunting machine. statistics show that hunters without the services of a well-trained dog lose one out of every three birds shot with sometimes a higher ratio on ducks and pheasants. In the states hunting without a dog is prohibited for certain types of shooting depending upon the area and the species of game hunted. O O I

It takes time, money and pat- ience to train a Better or Pointer. Furthermore, a setter is not at his, or her. peak until they are three years old. some types o Pointers perform reasonably well when one year old. A professional or busi- ness an in the city feeds and cares for a hunting dog the year tround for use during a six week hunting period. At that, allowing for rainy holidays, he's lucky if he has one week's hunting out of the six. 0 O U . one thing that gets a farmer up in arms is a group of five or six, hunters with three or four dogs stamping over his fields. He imag- ines they are cleaning up the cov- cys as they go along but the looks one the worst of it. Hunters Should bear this in mind. A pair of hunt.- crs and a. brace of dogs do not at- tract so much attention 0 O 0

Another point I wish to emphas- ' hunters should not venture upon a farmer's land with dogs that are not under control. Noth- ing arouses the ire of a farmer more than seeing it hunter's dog chase and maul his poultry. and kill a chicken on occasions. or stampede his sheep or cattle. . .

I hunt with a German short haired Pointer. He pays no at- tention to chickens, ducks, geese. etc. nor will he chase cattle or horses although they often chose him. The same may he said of this dog's father with whom 1 some- times hunt. When the pup was on- ly a. few months old I made a practice of taking him into farm- yards and introducing him to the poultry. If he made an. at- tempt. to chase them as he did at first, I called him off. If he didn't obey right off the but I gave him a helting hard enough to make understand they were strictly taboo. some dog owners state that they are afraid their dog will not hunt game if they beat him for chasing chickens. Any dog that hasn't enough grey matter to tell the difference between game birds and domestlc,poultry is not worth feeding.

C O O

I have no brief for a hunter who habitually allows his dog to act as he pleases, or get. out of control. while hunting. Even well trained dogs will make a break sometimes and disobey even when they know there's a trimming in store for them. In this respect they are very much like children and I don't be- lieve in disappointing them, they always get what they expect. If hunters will exercise control over their dogs and use ordinary com- mon sense whilst hunting on priv-

nte property the Hunter-Farmer relationship will improve accord- lngly.

May Buy Tarp For Football Field

TORONTO. Jan. 5 -- (CP) -

buy a tanpaulin to protect the playing field at Varsity Stadium -scene of Canada's annual Grey Cup football final.

Warren Stevens, the University's

athletic director has announced the Athletic Board is collecting in- fonmation on performance of tar- paulins and their cost. It may reach I. tentative decision before the end of this month on whether it would be a sound investment. The tarpaulln question was first thrust to the front after flhe 1940 East-West game when Montreal Alouettes defeated Calgary Stam- peders 28-15 on a treacherous pa-ich-work of ice-covered strips and snow-melted blotches. De- mands for protection -for the field rose again after the 1950 game when Toronto Angonauts rolled to a 13-0 triumph over Winnipeg Blue Bombers in a. sea of mud. A Canadian Press survey - carried out in the one-year in- terval between games -- show- ed that United States universitlexs in the "cold belt" from Masa- chusscis to Minnesota use tar- paulins and get good results. A New York manufacturer said no would supply a iarpauiin for 38.- 000 cxclusive of Canadian import taxes.

ALTA. UTAH, Jan. 5 -, (Art - Prcsh snow fell today on the steep slopes of little cottonwood Canyon where nearly 100 ski experts from four countries will compete satur- day for the United States grand slalom championships.

The new fall was a welcome sign as the contestants alternately practiced and gathered around of the three lodges at this Wasatch winter re- sort. 20 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.

Officials predicted that the l 1-2-mile course, which drops 1.500- fect. through about 45 gates. will be in top shape.

At least 15 former winnern of various U. S. ski championships will take off from the starting point; helow 11.049-foot Mount Baldy. But reliable enthusiasts of the winter sport say a darkhorse could well win this third renewal of the giant slalom. The competitors

Sneacllgainsl Field In los Angeies Open

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 4 - (AP)-- The shooting starts in the 315.000 Los Angeies open golf tournament tomorrow. and just like always. it's Sam Snead against the field.

The wizard of White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. likely will get: lots of competition - chiefly from such name stars as Lloyd Mangrum. Jim- my Demaret and Jim Ferrler - but off his reocrd its difficult to pick anyone to beat him. The record in- cludes such items as:

Two practice rounds of so over Rfvicrirs hilly par 71 layout.

only one better tune-up was turned in. Demaret's 63. But. that was cnough to tab him as a (cup threat. Fcrrler has his nice bank account from last year in his favor e although it was some 310,000 behind Snead's -.. plus a sub-par practice turn of 70.

And Mangrum. although he quit the course after a nine-hdle warm- up of 41. must be figured in there off his fast finish in tournament play last year. - A field of 150 players will seek the S2000 tap money in the 24th renewal of the medal play t.cruma- ment.

Dame had 186 points for the dub- ious distinction.

The runner-up position went to Joe Louis, the former heavyweight champion. whose amazing string of triumphs and records fatten the record books. The old Brown Bomb- er's comeback was ruined by the flashing fists of lEZZ81'd Charles in a 15-round hunt in Yankee Stad- ium. He got 156 points.

Behind the former hcnvyweight boss came Boston Red Sox. a per- ennial contender in the "flop" league, with 123 points.
