The 49th annual review of 3111-. "e55 R301"! in the Maritime Prov- mcea- WWW" by the Dean of turf Journals, James W. Power, appear. “<1 l" Tuesday's Halifax nei-alc. 111 the foreword Mr. Power says: "For 49 years the ‘writer has been pub. iishing a rev.ew of harness racing 111 the Maritime Provinces. An in- WEBB 0f speed. eight new M111. time track records and one track lnnrk equalled. seven Maritime rec- ords shattered and two equalled, were among the highiights of the i937 racing season; but the 0111,. standing feature was the fact that for the first time in Canada a mile was paced over a half-mile track 1n 3-02 1-2. and this performance was made on a Maritime speedway."

The extreme speed accomplished on the Provincial tracks was illu- strated in the fact that apart from Walter Dale's 2.02 1-2 heat, the Marltimee saw another heat paced in 2.05. sixteen heats from 2.05 1-4 to 2.09 inclusive, forty-dght from 2.08 1-4 to 2.10, and eight horses taking new marks of 2.10 or better. Altogether there were 58 meets in- cluding matinees, seventy days r1111. ing and 604 heats trotted or paced this season.

For the third successive year New Brunswick led the Provinces in holding the most meetings and the most days racing, and enjoys the honor of having had the new Canadian record made on one of its tracks. New Brunswick had 96 meets with 33 days racing: Nova Bootia was the scene of l9 meetings. These included matinees and there was 241 days racing with much of it being in Cape Breton, where a lac-operative circuit was formed.

Prince Edward Island had 1s meetings, 16 days racing, including the meeting at Charlottetown, which was the longest of any held in the Provinces. $5.000 in pluses was offered at Charlottetown meet, for which there was 140 entries.

“The Island horses won $2,234.40,

Nova. Scotia horses won $1,716.85, New Brunswick $900.00 and- Maine $212.30. There were twelve three- heat events and four dashes and eleven heats were time 1n 2.10 or better.

Summerside. Alberion and Mon- tague each held a. regular meeting, while the first two named staged a matinee. Georgetown, Nolrtham, Kensington and Hamilton each saw metinees. The track record at A1- berton was equalled at its regular meet. Eight new track records were made and ono was equalled in the Milt-tiff“? Provinces.

IN THIS CORNER

While arguments wax pro and con and whatls what in the Mari- time middleweight picture "Irish" Leo Kelly, claimant to the Island title as result of his victory over Bennie Blnne has signed up to meet Ray Maclntyro, colored box- er, in Saint John. December 18.

Msclntyre, hailing from across the border is an unknown quan- tity in these parts, but Kelly ls taking no chances and will be in the best of shape for his bout on the mainland. Plans for a report- ed bout between Kelly and Nemis in New Waterford have apparent- ly fallen through.

Attendance at the opening night's skate at the Forum was well up to records of previous ycursmhow- ing that while hockey may have lost some of its glitter in these parts skating still retains its fas- cination and popularity.

Johnny Squarebrigga, b o t t e r known as “Snag”, who captained the Baltimore Orioles in the East- ern Unlted States amateur hockey league last year, has been re-elect- ed for this season. "Snag" had a worcl_of praise foi-"thc Ripley- Lowther-Ripley line, last yearwith Amherst, N.B., St. Puts Junior team, now playing with the Ori- o es.

Attendance at NJ-IL. matches in Montreal so far has been disap- pointing and the story once more is revived that in another season there will be but one club in Can- ada's ‘fbig town." For some sees- ons the two clubs, Maroons and Cariadiens, appealed to racial feel- ing, but that appeal evidently has lost its effect. Cleveland again is mentioned as the possible locatim of a transferred club. Montreal, it 1| said, will have one team repre- senting Montreal Hockey Club.

Bill Gill is not a regular mem- ber of the Moncton Maroons‘ hoc- key team. He was signed only for the exhibition series with St. John. When it is cold enough to make natural ice in Fredericton the for- mer professional will be up eosch- ing and playing for the Caps.

Thursday night Bill Miller was s. guest of honor at a banquet held under auspices of the Camobellton Gyro Club. The event was in hon- our of his approaching marriage.

Those who are casting around ondeavoring to find reason for the inability of the Detroit Red Wings in get. going should get a load of the speeches Cecil Hart, manager of the Montreal Canadiens, is making. Cecil insists Detroit Red Wings are an over-rated tealn.

"And why not?" asks Hart. "They haven't got so much. They have one good-no, really great forward line in Barry, Lewis and Auric. I'll grant them that. And they have a fine goalie in Normie Smith, but he's no better than our Wilf Cude. Their defence 2s all right, but it's been played 11p slot. You can't tell me that their rc- scrve forwards-guys like Kllrea, Brunsteau and so 1.11-aro any bet- ter than our own reserves or bet- ter than relief forwards for sev- eral other N. H. L. clubs I could mention.‘ I stil1'th1nk Detroit Red Wings are an over-rated club."

Lou Gehrig. New York Yankee first baseman who was turned down by the movies for n. Tarzan rolo. is making the grade 1n the picture "Laughing senor" lit Hol- lyywood. Cal. Lou was evncciatl to make an ideal Tarzan, but when Producer Sol Lesser saw him polled in lion-skin pants, it was dwgdsd his legs wouldn't do. So. the 1mm Horse will appear fully clothed 1n the "Laughing flcnor."
