London Is Angry At Countrymen

LONDON (AP)—Brian London, the angry young man of British boxing, finally got his visa and started for the United States Fri- day for his world heavyweigh' title fight with Floyd Patterson in Indianapolis May 10.

“T’ve been made the underdog in the fight by my own country- men and I don’t like it,” said the 24 - year - old former British champion just before laving for London airport. .

“People in my own country are betting 10-o-1 I get licked,” said Brian, “but if Pete Rademacher and Roy Harris can knock Pat- terson down, I can knock him out.” ;

London, who lost his British title. to Henry Cooper in Janu- ary, will receive $75,000 for his endeavors against Patterson.

A few nights ago, on April 4th., one of the most sensation- al rags+o-riches horses that has’ sepped over a race track in re- cent years the i0-year-cld pacing gelding, Bay State Pat, got his nose out in front as they led into the homestretch a Yonk- ers Racoway, New York, and headed off the favorite, Irish 2.00 4-5. to win by inches before a wildly excited crowd of 33,112 fans. The time for the mile was 2.05 4-5, and conditions were con- sidered about three seconds slow. Now, let us take a few minutes to run through the career of this remarkable horse. Early in the spring of 1954, Andrew Perry visited’ Woodstock, NB, and bought a pacer — Bay State Pat — that had passed through sev- eral hands and had been found wanting in about everything that should be in a race horse. Andrew's trainer at that time was ‘‘Smithy,”’ who had patierice and made many changes before he struck the key to this national horse. Later, when it came to racing time; he showed well enough to be entered at Sum- merside on the July 15th program, and he divided honors with Jay's Hope, winning a dash and taking a record of 2.17.

Along in August, he had a new driver in James (Roach) Mac- Gregor, who, on August 5th. fin- jshed 2-1, with Janet Clegg being 1-2, at Summerside. The times were 2.16 and 2.15 15 he made a few more starts, and then was shipped to Quebec City by trainer MacGregor, where, he was 1-T on September 6, with the best time 2.17. On September 16, in the B Pace, purse $1,600, also at Que- bec City, Gay Wave was 1-2; Bay State Bay was 7-1, times 2.10

er ways. " Our readers will be interested to note that Dr. J. A. 2.03 4-5, by Simcoe’ Harvester 2.04%, dam Pansay C., is still going strong. They will remember quite well when he was winning over our Maritime tracks, and we are all quite proud to see a Maritime- bred horse winning in such far- away places as Inglewood, Cali- fornia.

Last year he won $5,052 for the husband and wife team, and his total winnings are $36,324. When he was racing in the Maritimes, he was owned by Dr. J. A. Don- ahoe, well known physician of Truro, N.S.

IN TRAINING

Dick Logue of Sydney will be pleased to learn that Gratis Han- over, that took a record of 2.04 25 when owned by him and in the Sanders Russell table, is in training in the Gibson White stable at Lexington, Kentucky.

During her racing career she won $60,000, and it was when Mr. Logue owned her that she took a three-year-old trotting recoid of a 2.04 25 on a half-mile track, which was a_world's champion- ship mark.

What many consider as the biggest bargain at Tattersalls (Kentucky) December sale might turn out to be Nancy Mite; by Volomite, out ¢,Alma Guy, that was bought by Byron Kuth of Chesteriand, Ohio. for $800.

This 17-year-old brood mare, Nancy Mite, is the dam of De- bora Frost, that last week set a season's mark for pacing mares on a mile track when she won in 2.00 at Santa Anita, California.

Del Miller, well-known. to read- ers of “Hoofbeats,”’ is willing to take a profit, even if it does mean that the buyer gets a pos- sible champion trotter or pacer. His latest sale was Lady Belve- dere, that at Lexington, Kentucky, last season trotted the final quar- ter in 29 45 to win the Gentle man’s Driving Club Stake.

The buyer was J. Elgin Arm- strong, of Ontafio, who’ is the owner of a stzing of trotters and pacers, and with whom Archie Liewellyn of Montague is em- ployed. ” ;

On October 27, he was shipped to Saint John, N.B., where he won in 2.11 3-5. In his campaign that year he made 26 starts, was 11 times first, 3 times second and three times third. IN SUMMERSIDE

He opened his 1955 campaign ;at Summerside, where he. won i both dashes of the free-for-all on July 13, times 2.09 and 2.09. His total starts that year were 36, and he was 21 times first, twice second and twice third, with total winnings of $9,573 for the year. His greatest victory was at Blue Bonnets track, Montreal, where he won both dashes in the $7.500 Kree-For-All in 2.04 25 and 2.08 35. That performance led to ne- gotiations for his sale to Jac- ques Beaudoin of Montreal, and in 1956 he raced_in his colors, made 30 starts, was > times first, 4 times sécand and twice third, with winnings of $35,360, ‘and a new record of 2.01 4-5. His total winnings at the end of 1956 were $46.93, which covered all his ampaigns to the end of that sea- son. In 1957, he made 30 starts, and was 8 times first, 3 times second and 4 times third, with winnings of $31,811. Im 1958, he made 31 starts, was 5 times first, 8 times second and 6 times third, with winnings of $44,344, the biggest season's winni of his career. His grand total, for all his cam- paigns to the end of 1956, was $122,748.

What was probably one of his best performances of all time, considering the weather condi- tions, was the winning of the AA Pace, purse $4,500, at Yonkers Raceway last November 8. Und- rer-good-—eenditions, his mile in

60 horses are being worked over it daily. When the first of May rolls around, lots of them will be stepping faster than 2.30. There has never been a spring in its more than 70-year history that such a high-class array of speedy trotters and pacers has been worked over the surface of this track.
