A letter from Walter Harinessey to Mrs. Henneasey told of the pur- chase made by Wal at Harrisburg. Pa., of True 1-lal and Royal Value. Many of our readers will remem- ber the season of 1046 when True 1-lal was racing in the Hennessey colors at Charlottetown and Cove- head. He had been owned previ- ously by Joseph J. Hoy of Catskill. N. Y. and had won at Roosevelt July 5th in 207'.. and later won over the same track in 2.06. At the Goodwill races. Charlottetown, Sept. 11th, True Hal iHennesseyl was 1-1-4.

three heats were the liislstt priced (nor any track in the Maritimes that year.

Later Mr. Hcniiessey sold True 1-ial to Rosairc Bedard of Charles- burg, E'.Q.. and he has been racing in various stables since and not so long ago we noticed where he was winning in quite good time. He is a richly bred horse the sire being Hal Dale 2.02'.i. sire of eight in 2.00 and 32 in 2.05. and the sire and gra-ndsire of over half a dozen vic:ld's champions. His dam is Ti-us Athlonc, also the dam of Josedale Cornet 2.09 1-5 and her sire was Athlone Guy 2.03y, and his grsnddam is the famous brood mare True Ella, dam of True Chief 1.50 1-5 and several others in 2.10 including the Cape Breton owned Crusader Chief 2.09 2-5. When True Hal's racing days are over he should be I good horse in the stud.

Eoytl Value is a four-year-old black stallion by Royal Napoleon p. 2.00?.i. dam, Miss Abbie Dillon 2.09. She is the dam of three in 210. He has won over 316,000 rac- ing st Roosevelt and Yonkers last season and this season and took his record of 3.04 2-5 as a four- year-old at Roosevelt. His total earnings are 321.884. In buying we believe Mr. Heiincssey has made a good choice and has .a horse that should get his share of the money in the fastest free-for- slls in the Maritime Provinces.

In the latest issue of The Ha-r- ncss Horse great praise is given Earle Avery. formerly of Wood- stock. for the way he has brought Bertha Rosecroft along and made her the winner of large stakes. On October 26th at Yonkers she won the AA Trot. purse 34000, in 2.01 ,3-5. A week previously she had won 3. similar race and prior to that had been second to Torch Key in 2.04 3-5, which was a worlds record, and the final night of the Grand Circuit meeting she won the AA Trot. purse 54500. in 2.05 3-5, which boosted her life- time eamings to over 533,000. Earle has had what we can call exceptional success this season with his racing both at Roosevelt and Yonkers and is now considered one of the real top drivtvs.

Another Canadian that is mak- ing good at Roosevelt and Yonkers is Del McTavish of sherbrooke, Qua, I great friend of Rankin McLaine':. On October 27th he won the CC Trot in 2.09 2-5 with Bob Ly-brook and the some night

Statistics Vcrnon Downs. N. Y. night racing plant show that Bomb Call. a three-

year-old owned by Dr. L. Harring- ton of Utah. was the leading race winning trotter of the 1953 season thcre with seven wins. He finished but of the ll10l32X,Oll:)' twice. raced to a record of 204 2-5 and won oier 35000 for his owner. His driver was the veteran Garland Garnsey, sctond ratikixtz driver at Vernon. Hoyle Club, a three-,vc.ir-old colt. was runner up with s:x win-, iC.1'.' of them u'ilh his former owner Al Traverse and two with Garnscy as pilot. Four other trotters were deadlocked with five wins apiece and one of these four was Watch- im Go, by Alderman Frank Adams Watchim 2.06. He is owned by Thomas L. Peverly of Albany and was driven by Garla-iid Garnsey. During the season 329 different horses started at the Downs and

of that total 289 finished in the money at least once. Vernon Downs is a three-qua.:ler mile track.

John Mallalieu of Harrington, Delaware, celebrated his Both birthday last April but it did not prevent him from pulling off some nice wins this year. One of thc best is described as having occur- red at Yonkers Raceway Monday night, Nov. 2nd in the s3500 AA Tmt with Merry Scott. The out- sider in the betting at 1'1 to one and scoring from eighth place, Malla.lieu parked out the entire journey, was sixth at the quarter, fourth at the hair, third at the three-quarter and won by half a length in 2.07 2-5-a new record for the seven-year-old niiire owned by Jonas Shoemaker, Spring City. Pa.

One of the greatest trainers in the United States, Charles Lacey, died Sunday, Nov. lst, after suf- fering from 8. heart attack. He was still active this season as manager and trainer with the Saunders Mills Stable of Toledo, Ohio. but had been in failing health for some time. He had passed his 75-th birthday. In he early 30's and 40's he trained for Homer Blery exclusively. On that owner": death he entered the em- ploy of C. M. Saunders of Toledo and trained and managed his large outfit with great success. His greatest campaigner was without doubt Little Pat 1.583. that he raced for Homer Biery for nine seasons. He set all sorts of worlds records mostly on half-mile tracks from his juvenile days form on. At three Lacey put him in the two-minute list with a record of 'l.59y, and it stood as :1 world's ,record until Fennan Hanover low- 'ered it to 1.59 2-5. All told Little Pat won 73 of his,104 races, was 11 times second eight times third. seven times fourth and only un- placed five times. His total heats are 1'13 wins and he won 90 miles in 2.05 or less over half-mile tracks.

Another two-minute pacer that he trained and raced was Lee Hanover l.59y, and he also drove another Lee Hanover, the only 2.00 trotter ever bred in .Canada. that he won 12 races with in 1930 and ended up by winning the Walnut Hall Cup with, time, 2.02, 2.00. 1.5914. Another horse he raced with great success was Grattan A.vworth.V D. 2.01!-L-. that a few years ago had drifted down here and was owned in the vicinity of Charlottetown Trampsm-ug 2.02-73, that afterwards raced in the Mar- ltimes. was st good winner for Charlie Lacey. In the past few years his top horses were Egan Hanover 4. 1.50 and Bangaway 3. 2.03, both oi which won over 3100.-

The Interscholastic Junior Abhics will play the Summersido High School in an exhibition football game at Memorial Field this afternnon. The gqime will coni- mence at two o'clock.

This will be the Junior Abbies last appearance of the season. The boys, coached by Earl Nichol- son have come along rapidly dur- ing the' past iivo months as iliny have proved in games against St. Dunstan's and Prince of Wales College. .

At the start of the season there were few of the players with any football experience. However, eag- i-rnoss, natural ability and good coaching has moulded the play- ers info a well knit squad which augurs wcll for the future of foot- ball.

The Abbies have been particu-

larly adept at tackling. In one gamn tliev exhibit more low tackling that can be se on in

most of the senior contests

In the first game of the season the Abbies defeated Summersldc High School 3-0 in an exhibition contest at Summcrslde. This is the return engazemont.

Two College teams giving every- thing they had on the Victoria Park Football field. the Second saints and Prince of Wales 001- lege, played to a 2-2 draw Yes- terday evening in the fourth game of the Island Intermediate foot- ball series

For one hour the rod clad Saints and the blue jcrsiecl Welsh- men ran, 'klcked and tackled in furious fashion but the best that each team could do was score a penalty kick,

The game was the fourth in a series that was supposed to be over in three. Each team now has a win and two draws and the flfth game will have to be played on the st. Dunstan's field pro- bably early next Week. .

It was a dramaitic contest with the Saints scoring on a. penalty kick early in the first half and the Welshman counting about fifteen minutes later.

The Welshmen had an edge on Ihc play but when they pressed into scoring territory they could not get past the furious saint Dunstan's tacklers who were going sweet and low for the Welshmen's legs in one of the best tackling exhibitions of the year.

The Saints too had their scor- ing opportunities but the Prince of Wales line held The game enri- ed with the Saints, John B. Fisher leading an assault on the Prince of Wales 2.5 yard'ilne.

Team Captain Tom Macaaugh, a big, raw-boned forward who played ii strong game, collected the Saints two points with at beautiful kick from a difficult angle shortly after the game opened

Kimble Jay made the play for MacGaugh's penalty kick as he raced 40 yards into Prince of Wales territory after gathering in a kick at centre field. Only a brilliant tackle by . Rollie Lee prevented Jay from scoring.

The Saints had the edge on play for the first 15, minutes befdk the Wei:-hmen turned the tide and pressed into s.D.U territory. The Welshmon marched right to 3.D.U. line but fullback John Kelly relieved the pressure with a long kick.

But the City. Collegians weren't. to be denied. They came back at- gain and were awarded three- penalty kicks on the Saints 30 yard line. They failed to click but when they got It penalty kick on the saints 20 they made no mis- titke.
