The inaugural of night racing

the Charlottetown Exhibition neck Saturday night went over with a bang and 1f the reaction of the big crowd that was present can be taken as any criterion then

harness racing under lights is here to stay. O O Il- O The crowd, numbering we would say between five and six thousand. came away more than satisfied with the entire program as the lacing provided in the main close, driving finishes over a track that was lit up like daylight by the powerful electric plant that has been installed. 4- O O O Also used for the first time here was the starting gate made on the same principle as is in use over big United States tracks. While this did not meet with instantan- eous approval nevertheless once the fans become accustomed to this method of starting it should fit in with the entire night racing program to a nicety. O O O O Ofiioiels connected with the Ex- hibition Association have done a real job on their night racing pro- gram. The entire setup shows thoughtful, unhurried planning and with the success of this form of harness raclrg now assured the Province is more than ever entit- led to its name "The Kentucky of Canada." O O O O With the largest crowd of fans on hand to witness tennis match- es since pro-war days the Island Open tennis tournament concluded on a high note Saturday after- noon over the fast courts of the Charlottetown Tennis Club when

championships in four divisions were decided. _ O O O O

And as was expected and looked forward to, the matches produced a hard-hitting. fast brand of the net game with only one of the four finals being decided in straight sets with many of the games going to deuce several times before game and match points were decided.

O O O O

Local players were successful in keeping two titles in the Province. capturing the men's doubles and mixed doubles. With.only a half dozen out of the Province com- petitors taking part, at first glance this wouldn't seem to 1:1) any outstanding achievement but with the visitors being high rank- ing players in their own Province it speaks well for the ability of the local racquet wlelders.

O O O

‘And once again ”Mac" and "Gus" (Mac MacKinnon and .1. A. Bentley) put over a tennis tourn- ament in a big way. and the suc- cess attending the resumption (\’ the Island Open tournament will definitely lead to bigger things in the near future The tournament just concluded went a far way in making fans tennis-conscious once more; to Mac and Gus go the lion's share of the credit and don't be surprised that when next vear rolls around the Chariot/te- town club will be once again the scene of Eastern Canadian finals leading, officials hope. to the ulti- mate staging here of the Canad- ian tennis tltle tournament.

O O O O

Living up to the reputation of being one of the most outstand- ing tennis players ever developed 1n the Province. Billy Moreside gave an exceptional display of ability and tennis stamina Satur- day afternoon when he took part in three final matches to emerge with titles ill two of them.

O O O

Small in stature but possessing tans of m9!!! the slim. blonds youngster was beaten back by Gordon Bauid ln the single title ‘nunt but only after making a great comeback in the last two sets against a far more exper- ienced opponent but in what were hard-hitting. fast moving affairs.

O O O

The consensus of opinion wan that he would be under par when he came out for the men's doubles but Moreside surprised everyone by his dash and as a result played an important rule in the two vic- tories aa he teamed up with Miss Beryl DeBlois to win the mixed douhlesl and paired off with "Lefty" Reddln to keep the Island men's doubles title in the Prov-

Gordon Bauld, smart Halifax tennis star Saturday afternoon captured the Prince Edward. Isl- and Open tennis singles title when he defeated Bill Moresicle of the Charlottetown Club, 6-1, 6-0, 2-6, (i-d in a bitterly fought final that saw young Moreside, after being turned back rather easily in the first two sets make a clogged, hard hitting struggle of it in the third (ind fourth before conceding de- feat.

Miss Ann Saunderson of Hali- fax won the ladies’ singles crown in straight sets from the chal- lenge of Miss Kay Anslow of Windsor, N.S., winning 6-2 and 9-7 with the second set being a gruelling iii-game affair as the favored Miss Saunderson had to come from behmcl to account for her victory.

Moreside otoned somewhat for his defeat in the singles when he teamed up intl". ”Lel'ty” Reddln to win the mt" ‘s doubles title, de- ferltlng Gordon Bauld and Jim Palmer 7-5, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, and he figured in his second title when paired with Miss Audrey DeBlois to win the mixed doubles crown m straight games from Miss Ann Saunderson and Gordon Foster.

Immediately after the end of the ladies’ doubles _l~I1s Honor Lieut. Governor J. A. Bernard, who was introduced by Judge A. E. Arsenaultfipresented the trophies and prizes to the winners and runners-up. complimenting the players on the fine performarres staged and stating that the tourn- ament Just mmpleted would 80 l long way in bringing the some brick to its former pupularity.

A fitting tribute was also paid to a former great. tennis perform- er when the crowd observed one minute's silence in memory of Robert N.‘ Watt, Jr, of Montreal, o. very popular performer here in years gone by who was killed while serving ovelseas ln the recent Great War.

In addition to the trophies do- noted by the Provincial Tennis Association, special prizes were also donated by the Hughes Drug 00., W. W. Wellner. Ltd., and G. H, Taylor, jewellers.

Special prizes of Ronson cigar- ette lighters were presented to Mac hfacKinnon and J. A. Bentley for the outstanding work they had performed in staging the ionrnamcnt. the presentations be- (no made by Governor Bernard on behalf of the Charlottetown Ten- nis Cluo. after President George Burnett of the local club had re- ferred to the splendid work done by both mcn

Professor Barlow was also the recipient of a special prize for his excellent umplrinlz of various matches throughout the meeting.

In winning the men's singles Bould took the opening game af- tcr the match was at deuce twice and then broke through More- sides service ln-the second to take a 2-0 lead. Bauld again came through on bis own service in the third game to make it 3-0 with Moreside. after. the game had gone to deuce three times, making it 3-1. Bnuld however ran out the match with three straight games to make it 3-1.

stroking effortlessly and forcing his opponent into errors Bauld raced off with the second set 6-0 to make it look as if he were go- ing to win in straight sets but Moreside. stifiening up in the third match and making some im- possible returns that drew down loud applau=e from the gallery, ran up a 3-1 lead 1n the first four games after breaking his oppon- cat's service twice. Bauld won the fifth game to make it 3-2 but Moreside, again breaking through. van of! three games to win out 6-2.

The fourth match produced the best tennis of the match. Bauld. winning the first two games. led 2-0. Moreside made it 2-1 on his own service. They split the next two evenly to make it 3-2 with Bauld racing into a 5-2 lead by winningthe next two games. More- xide had a kick left, however, when he broke Bauid's service to
