The Rules Committee went over the rules very thoroughly and made some alterations which will appear in the new Rule Book that will be issued shortly. 0on- siderable discussion took place regarding harness racing in all its phases and the tenor of the meeting was that everything pos- sible should be done to bring the sport to the highest. level so that it will continue to enjoy its pre- sent popularity’. For this reason the Directors believe the rules should be strictly enforced and that strictest discipline govern the operations of every trnck.

‘ma season of 1046 showed an extraordinary gain in attendances and in distribution of purses‘ which reached over $6.000.000. In District 1i. which includes the Maritimes. over $111,000 was paid out. the greatest amount tn rac- ing history. Charlottetown led with over 014.000. but all traolos throughout the Maritimes in- creased their race prizes from the previous your. The rule in regard to fees for member tracks we changed in that marl-mutual trehs operating in the United States will 1n future pay 2% on. t-he amount of purses put up but other tracks “will remain as be- fore-Vi. The 2% does not apply to Maritime tracks.

Last evening we received a moat interesting letter from our friend James L. Read. Truro. Jun has followed the races for over fifty years and his retentive mcm , can recall practically all

the important happenings on Maritime tracks in that ever half a century. In the early days

Snckville and Amherst were fam- ous for their colt stakes raced there. mostly promoted by Etter and Lame-y. ‘Those were the days of Pnrkside 2.21%. Special Blend 2.17, Minotn 2.18 and many oth- ers and the J. L. Cowan-owned horses of spring-hill such as Robervsi, Rock l-‘nrrn Grace. Lord Aiverston and others. Jim has definite ideal in regard to the horses of loltg ngo and believes that while we have ,aome good race horses now and in mart cases they make faster time he dose not believe they compare with rneny of those that raced YOITI IIO‘.

lairtts and Legion resume their City League playoff battle at the Forum tonight and ms a result of

their upset victory in the first game Thursday night the men of Kane are now co-favorrtes with the Drieiion-coached team to cap- turc the Dr. F. C. Dougan trophy that goes to tho winners. And well they might be for the University crew again proved to all and sundry Thursday night that they are more dangerous when in a trailing posi- tion. , I I O O

When the Legion snapped in the two opening goals there were plenty of fans present who were of the opinion that the Drillonites were on their way to an opening victory despite the fact that up to that llmc the saints had just as much of the play as their oppon- cnts. but the winners changed, that vfien the losers received a penalty and their two quick counters was just the spfirk they needed to set the entire squad 0.21 fire.

O O O

In the second session with the game a wide open affair Saints matched their opponents goal for goal and finally slapped in 5 couple of more quick ones to take cum- mand and in the bitterly fought third session they again perform- ed the some stunt to complete their upset victory gained without tne services of Elmer Blanchard and "Poerky" McDougail two import- ant i-ogs in the S.D.U. machine.

I O O O

And now it looks as if the series will go the limit hefore the win- ners are decided. From here the teams look to be too evenly match- ed for either one to chalk up inree victories in n ro\v and the remain- ing games are bound to be rugged. hard-hitting affairs for in the closing stnges of the opener the players were hitting hard and often and incoming forwards had a rocky path before them in their

Jim does not» forget the ex- ploits of Peter Pokey that held the Maritime record for 2.07 for several years and reduced it to 2.06% in Maine. or the exploits of Waizhlm, who took a record of 2.0633 at St. Stephen. which l5 the Maritime stallion ‘record. He concludes with: “If ChristleBud- leniz stays sound and is left with Earle Avery this season I expect: her to go a good h-zilf mile track in 2.06 and a mille track close to two minutes. we mm, Mm“ that Avery has, made good with other horses. for instance Love Song. that after hits preparation took a record of 1.59%. Why rttould not Christie be just as fast and good? She 1s as well bred and is still young. However. I arn also of the opinion that had Watohim been turned over to Tom Berry two years ago he would have taken a record close to two minutes at Lexington. I cannot forget the day he raced at. Truro where he playtd with his field and won in 200 cased up from the three-quarter pole. and I saw him win in 2.06 from tracers at New Glasgow two years

St. Maryk Juniors 8-4 To Take Series

battling hand of Haiifav S1. Mary's‘ Juniors tired hndly in 1hr fins period here tonight and bowed out, of the Memorial Cllppiayoiis am‘ they dropped an 8-4 decision to

Montreal Canadians. their third straight loss in t-he bcst-ol-fivc series.

A capacity Forum crowd of more than 11,000 fans watched the Fort- ress City boys play careful hockey’ to lead 4-3 after two periods, but their defence wilted in frame to allow the Junior I-lnhli-

cfforts to get into scoring position. e - a e

Legion will throw every resource at their command into tonight's game in an endeavour to get-back on even footing. Another iletat would leave p, rather dismal out- look on their chances of taking the series and Saints can expect to be faced by s hard-hitting, fast skat- ing band once the teams are sent into action.

Basketball fans will also have an innings tonight when Navy. topi team in the regular schedule all the City League meet the Army in the first game of a two-game total goal series for the right to tangle with survivors of the Saints- P.W.C. round.

O O O ‘

Navy will definitely be odds on favorites to take the opener. A high scoring outfit all season long their followers are confident of them turning back the Army threat but at that thesNavy players tltcm- selves still have plenty of respect for the Rcconnaissnce team who in their last start showed decided improvement especially in the scoring department and scores is what they pay off on in any branch of sport. ' O O I

Leading practically all season long Earl Smith of the Navy hoop team ciimaxed a great season by capturing the individual scoring charn ionship of the City Basket- ball aguo with a total of 196 points. Smith a consistent h-gh scorer all lesson long finished up with an avenge of over 16 points per game and had it not been for l. couple of off nights would have compiled an average of over 20 per game which shows plenty of sharp- shooting ability on the sllm fo-r- ward’s part.
