When ll years old. Newsy cam; down the pike from Cornwall, where he was born in 1067. Before 1926, when he finally relinquished his centre spot, he had performed scoring feats that make modern hockey look like a game oi jacks

by comparison.

The tlenchman who commanded the highest hockey and lacrosse salaries paid in his day (about $3.000 the east more for lacrosse lr-"tile nests, clicked oii roughly Z5 goals a season —33 one year-in the old National Hoc- key Association-hand 16 games comprised a mason then.

Syd Howe is ceredited m. inc modern records with the most goals scored ‘n o single gnme - six-but back one night in March 1910. Lalonda banged in nine goals for Rerifrow Millionaires. ‘iwo of his teammates were Cyclone Tay- lor and Lester Pataick. Til-n.‘ were no spares.

0n Champion Teams

Lalonde played on both world champion hockey and lacrosse teamv-ono of tlvo or three aili- letes to do so. He was pinyin; mar.- ager-ooach of Montreal Canadians in 1910 when the Flying Hench- men soared through Portland for the Stanley Oup Ard he was with the old Vancouver Terminals three times when they won the Minto

Cup. -

Newsy shifted his playing alleg- iances often, thou h he sts ed longer with Oallad s-nim- ye rs altogether-than with any other club. He played for Cornwall. Woodstock. Ont. Sauit Ste. Marie, Portage 1e. Raine, Toronto, Ren- frew, Vancouver and Saskatoon. It. was at Saskatoon that he finally wrapped up his pads for good. but

Never one to take a backward step. News frequently occasioned headlines l e this one in the Sask- atoon Daily Star; "l/ilonde Knock- ed Cummins Gold."

Out in the wort he pivotrd Bill Cook and Newsy regards him as the greatest right wing of all time An opponent, who played for Re- gina, was Dick Irvin.

To Newsy hockey now is nothing more than "lacrosse on bill he admits the game has speeded

up considerably.

Mr. Ballard expects to line up good fields of starters in all events. Phe races will take place Mon-- rday. September 2nd. Wednesday the 4th and Friday the 6th. with four events each afternoon. On Wednesday the Free For All with a Purse of $500 will be raced. Mr. Ballard has also announced that he will stage another race meet

events the same classes as Wed- nesday. September 4th. ‘There is a large list of eligible starters published in the Sydney Post Re- cord and we predict that cur zen- ial friend Charles‘ venture will be a complete succes. _0_

We are very pleased to have a letter from our good friend E11,), Graham of Si. Stephen, with score cards for the mid-stump,“ raoe meet held there August 21st, 22nd and 23rd. Mr. Graham states that the three fastest heats trot- ted in the Maritirnes this season were at St. Stephen. Namely in the Free For All Trot and Pace August 23rd. Christie Budlong won the first heat in 220912. the second in 2:08 and W-aichim came on and won the ihlrd in 2:07. Boih Christie and Watchim, as evofyone knows are irotters. He also claims that the three fastest heats Paced in the Maritimes this season were in the Si. Croix Free For All Stake Thursday. August 22nd. when Pine Ridge Alex won (he first heat in 2:06‘/3. the sec- ond in 2:07. and Anti-Aircraft the third in 2:08. From a casual per- usal oi the records we would say that Mr. Graham is 100% correct and the St. Steppe-n track man- BKement are to be congratulated on having attracted such high- class racing material and in their oval being in such excellent con- dition.

’ Our good friend John i... Read of Truro airways remembers us with score cards of the races he attends-written include all in his vicinity. He~is an excellent iudge of form and we information from reports. In the Truro mentioned above considerably taken with Princess Kalmuck a 8-year-old which he states is good gaited. good manner- ed and finished well and lookalike the makinds of a real one. With reference to Treceylianover he re- marked that he broke in the lsst heat and but for that no doubt would have improved in the sum- mary. Quoting further from letter is the foilowlngr-“This is the first time I have seen Colonel Dan. He was a good pacer today and well driven by Earle Bernple. Biliv Hood has Just returned from Maine with five horses bringing J. Harry Breen's new purchase. a dark bay two-year-otd stallion. one of the best looking two-year- oids I have ever seen. in fact a picture horse and bred along the best Pacing iinee. M1‘. Breen has sold the grey pacing gelding Bona Beau to Earle Avery. Mr. Bra-an commenting on Watchims performance states that he was not up to a hard race but thinks that he will improve and show much better in summaries later." Thanks very much: MJ".

We acknowledge with grateful thanks and regret our inability to accent an invitation to attend the Nova Scoiia Exilibiiion and races (his week at Truro from secretary manager K. M. Armstrong, and ihe opening of the R. A. Ferguson Memorial Race Track at Pictou. Wednesday. September 4th. at two o'clock. from manager E. Ernest English. We trust good weather and everything that goes with it will attend the new venture at

From time to time we have mentioned the exceptional success as a sire which Billy Direct 1.55. world's champion pacer has ad. Now the Hanover Shoe Farm has placed his 1947 fec at $300 and reservations are coming in so fast thiat. it is expected his book will fill quite soon.

He is the leading reinsman of his country and has been a wizlneron such famous courses as ilac Paris- Vincenncs and the Austrian tracks. Two of the err-American t/rotters that he drove were Tara 2.00, and iiazeiton 200%

We note where a million dollar grand stand that will hold over 20.000 people is to be constructed at the Canadian National Exhib- ition Fair and race track. Tor- onto. This will be the most ax- pensive effort of the kind ever made in the Dominion but the Canadian National Exhibition is subsidized very heavily by the Province of Ontario and the Do- minion Government and has large surplus assets. It is n-ioe to know that it will be back again in 1947 as it certainly puts on a program worthy oi any city.

There was s. combination sale at Roosevelt Raceway a couple of weeks ago and 49 trotters and nacers changed hands for 046.185. 0r an average of almost $1.000 apiece. The silr-year-old irotter Morate 2.00 pacing. 2.04 trotting, brought $5,000 and the six-year- old pacer Brown Bomber 2.00% $3,700. Rhea Hanover brought $3.800.
