BACK STRETCH
that his dam was Adio '
3 2.05. by Adios Guy,sp,v?zl.([))l)bi’ In the late 1920‘s, Adios Guy was Rumbas“ by a young Halifax pugilist, but he found that there were no opponents that cared to race against him in the Maritim- es and he was sold and was ship. Dad to Australia, which was pro. filmy the greatest loss to breed-
3 ever sustained - individual sire salel.)ecause 0f one HEAVY LOSS
Harness writers are all of an opinion that the unfortunate death of Merrie Annavelle was a 11‘? mendous loss to the breeding ranks. This young tiwo - year - old mare became a world’s cham- pion trotting filly when she took a record of 2.00 at Lexington. and she had formerly won in 2.05 2-5 over a half - mile track.
During her brief career, in which she established world‘s re‘ cords shown above on mile and half - mile tracks, she had won the. Hanover Shoe Filly Stake eaSily in 2.03 4-5 and back in 2.00. This performance establish- ed four world's records, and was the first time in harness racing that a two - year - old trotter ever stepped in two minutes in a race.
At Delaware. Ohio, she won the Walnut Hall Farm Breeders Filly Stake in 2.05 3-5 and 2.05 2-5. Delaware is a half - mile oval. Among other stake records was the winning of the Hoosier Futurity at Indianapolis. and the S. A. Camp Memorial at Lexing- ton. After she won at Lexington, her owner Byron Kuth. Cleve- land, Ohio, reifused offers up to $110,000 for her.
Penhaps the blow of her death was felt the most keenly by her youthful trainer and driver, John- ny. Patterson, whose kindness. lovmg care. and the confidence she had in him contributed great- ly to making her a champion. BAD FIRE
One of the most destructive fir- es that has ever hit a harness track occurred at Grandview. Ohio. early in December, when the grandstand and clubhouse were destroyed. The loss is set at close to a million dollars, with insurance coverage of $600,000.
The track president is Walter Michael. one of the most pro- minent horsemen in Ohio, who is largely responsible for the build- ing of thecluibhouse and grand- stand and who is the biggest shareholder in the track.

“We talked things over and he mentioned that his parents were born in Nova Scotia." said Me Caffrey. “But he didn't recall at the moment whether he was born before or after his parents be- came naturalized United States citizens.

“But we are interested in Al- lard as a quarterback, regardless of whether he is classed as a Ca nadian or an American. He has returned to his home i )lassa‘ chUsetts and will make up his mind whether he will come to Ottawa or remain in the US."
McCaffrey said Allard will find out the exact date of his parcnis‘ naturalization and the club also will review the situation with the government citizenship branch in Ottawa.

Said Teddy Brenner. match- maker for the vancient St. Nick's fighl arena where Benny Paret of Cuba met Victor Zalazar of Argentina Monday night. “It's a good thing the Spanish-language papers were publishing."
The St. Nick‘s crowd was 2.208 and the receipts $5.274. “But we
could have done about $4.000 more if there were the other papers." Brenner said.
RANGERS CONFUSED
The strike is causing more con- fusion than financial damage to New York Rangers of the Na- tional Hockey League. team pub- licist Herb Goren said.
“The Rangers have played De- troit and Chicago in the last week and i guess we were about 1.000 off in attendance in each game. But it could also be because the team hasn't been winning.
“We‘re. being swamped with requests for schedules. scores and other hockey information. I even had a newspaper man come in here yesterday and ask for a ticket to see us play Montreal Thursday night. We don't play the (‘anadiens until a week from Sunday."

Pat Summerall. the hero of last
