Harness recing will get underway on Prince Edward Island fm the near future and_we were reading an afticle recently which may imterest the patroms of the local - this ba on the driver's wei; as a factor mw betting? Does a make any difference? They have been argu- img about it since the trotting game began. A priest has pro Wided what is probably the best and most convincing answer When a dubious character asked this priest about those who wai until they're m the ring and ready for the bell and then biess themselves. if it_ did any good. The priest replied: “It does — if they can fight.” :

The same reasoning can be applied to harness racing driv- exs, if the same way—if they can drive a horse: Guys that were no bigger than a horse, but also not much smailer either. have been known to win their share against lightweight veinsmen because they could rate and handle a horse ’ Through the years horsemen have differed in appearance and for the most pert the bettors have dismissed the. factor as unimportant

The general impression seems to be that any definite dif- ference would involve track conditions. The driver's weight .might make a difference on a bad track. but on a good one the sulkies move along on their own once the horse is wheeling: ame is there is any definite prove of whether the the driver is or is mot a factor in betting ® hasn't abroad There is ome thine far more certain about the harness img game, and that concerns the age of the drivers: Not un-

This was true at ome time: though some great veterans then as well as now—always will'rate with the finest reinsmen of ali time.

But it’s a gradual switch to a young man’s game. Back im the middle 40s only one of the top 10 drivers was under 35. In 2 year or so that changed to three, and then five. Now the latest. statistics show that it’s definitely a young man’s game. in

A glance at the top 1@ drivers im America recently shows only two are older than 41, with Prince Edward Is- land’s Jee O'Brien the oldest at {7. The average in this

By JACK HAND-~ & LEWISTON, Me. (AP)— Heavyweight champion Cassius Clay knocked. out Sonny._Liston with a short right-hand punch to the jaw in one minute of the first round Tuesday night, the shortest heavyweight title fight in history.

Clay dropped the ex-champ on his back with a solid, short right. Sonny rolled over and tried to get up but fell on his back again.

Referee Jersey Joe Walcott, a former heavyweight cham- pion, apparently could not hear the _ knockdown _timekeeper'’s count. When Sonny got up Jer- sey Joe let them continue while he checked with officials of the

A chorus of fans “Fake,” “fake,” “fake,” 1nd booed for several minutes as photographers and others Swarmed into._the ring after Walcott got the bout stopped.

Boos rolled from the gather- ing of some 4,500 fans at the timy high school hockey arena in this textile city. ,

It was the same sort of e fing that Rocky Marciano and Jersey Joe Walcott had in their rematch in Chicago after a fu- rious first fight. Walcott went out quickly in the very first round.

The pattern of the ficht was apparent from the opening sec- onds. Clay moved right in and threw a right hand to the head and a hook to the jaw, quickly establishing that he was in com- mand. Then he danced away, circuling while Liston plodded after him, flat-footed Eee

Liston managed a short rizht but missed with a jab as Clay moved away, dancing with his hands down at his sides. Clay landed a right and then brought up a short right to the jaw ard it was all over

If possible, this was an even more bizarre ending than their match Feb. 25, 1964, when Lis- ton quit im his corner at the seventh-round bell, claiming he had damaged his left shoulder.

Earlier Clay had tried to quit, claiming he couldn't see. ENDS IN CHAOS

Maine's first heavyweizht title bout, chased’ out of Boston by the authorities and not recog- nized _by the World Boxing As- sociation, ended in complete chaos. The few fans who had paid the prices rancing from $100 to $25, crowded around the ringside and yelled “fix” and

Francis McDonough, the knockdown timekeeper, said he actually counted up to 12 be- fore the 31-year-old Liston got

up. Elaborate security precat- tions had been taken to guard Clay against any revenge at-| tempts by Black Nationalist supporters .of the slain Malcolm X. But the irate ringside fans, | were the only security threat to | F ical
