“A horse flllflqsllft in the class in 1336 to which he was eligible a; the clcse of 1835. In the brackets that have bfen reduced the charge on his eligibility certificate m; m“ ‘shall be changed pro rats. so as to keep him in his proper class, For example. a horse charged at the close of 1935 with $1,400. will re. main in the 2.19 clam with a charge of $1.200. the amount bat/ween the bracket; having been reduced one- llalf, it being in the same pfOpQg. tlon as the change in Qho table which was reduccd from i500. to I250.’

The above will be good news to all harness horsemen, particularly those with elilziblos for classes from 2.19 to 2.12.

His su own with Nancy Hanks made B"n Ken- hey nationally famous as a. trainer. and driver. In the hands of a less slrilful and painstaking man the filly would have been elzllcr a pacer or never h"ard tell of.

Nancy Harks was a natural pacer Int‘. oersi ted in going at that g:1t Wt finally was induced to tro wlih the, results that she bccame a world's champion and an unbeaten race trotter. Sh" was one of a very faw horses in all history never to loze a race.

Maple Leafs Dlay' Black flawksTonight

By The Canadian Press (By Guardian's special Wire)

Detroit Red Wings in something on a desperate mood tackle the im- proving Canadians at Montreal to- night in a National Hockey League game that will see the Detrolters attempt to shuffle ofl! the slump ‘responsible for three strai ht de- Zeats and their loss of first lace in ihe American section.

Following their great 3-0 victory over Toronto Thursday Canadians will attempt. to consolidate Canad- ian section third-place but may be without the services oi George Mantha. The left winger suffered :1 hand injury and unless the swel- ling goes down will not see much action. _

Toronto Maple Leafs, now three points from first place, have a chance to hurtle to» the top this week end but they will have to beat "Jhlca o Black Hawks twice to do it. The p ll‘ tangle at Toronto tonight and then journey to ‘Chicago for a meeting Sunday.

Montreal Maloons who have yet to score a win over Rangers meet the biueshlrts at New York Sunday night. Joe Lamb received a. knee injury against Americans Thursday and will be replaced by Bill Miller who was kept out of the lineup last week by a late change in plans. Another Sunday night game brings Americans and Bruins together at Boston.

Smooth skating Prantis An- drew was high-point winner of the evening garnering two firsts in the only events he entered in and in each case winning by comfortable margins.

West Kent and Summerside fought through three rugged per- iods of hockey to a 2-all draw and as was the case in the relay West King were forced to come from b0- hld to gain the draw verdict.

HOCKEY MATCH ENDS IN DRAW

The hockey match between West Kent and Summerslde was one of’ the most bitterly fought and at the same tlmc one of the best played encounters in recent years. ‘I'm-curb out three fast periods ‘he 02d rivals battled on even terms 171a‘. law ‘ozlh goa‘le:. play standout roles. Summerside net janitor was espec- ially good as West IKént continu- ally kept up a steady bombardment on him but could only beat him on two occasions. Wiggv DeBlois in the West Kent net was his usual self and several times drew down the cheers of his teammates by hi5 sen- sational sprawling savrs.

Jumping into high light at the very outset West Kent took ill-ii half a. minute to go into a 1-0 lead as Bud McEachcrn took Andrew's p353 to dri‘l the wafer into the cords. Only the good work of the Summerslde goalie. Boates, kept the score from mounting in the first five minutes.

Bumrnersfde gradually bee!!! clicking and for the rest o! the pertod were every bit as good as their opponents. There was onl! two minutes of the session 11ft when the visitors tied it up on Irlalr Ross‘ accurate drive from the left boards the score coming just. aftcr thc West Renters had held off their qoponenta whilepllying two men short.

DeBlois pulled off a glut savfi as the second period got underway but Buffer Worth forced Boates to i-he height; to kick out his sieamlns drive on a return attack.
