Our Montreal con-eqoondent sentll us the summaries of last. week-cad ruin; at Blue Bonnets. where the pnndpal interest was centered on the Srst appearance .1 Texas Hanover. that took a four-year-old record of 2.01% at Goshen. N. Y., last August. It is aaiil that owner Uucien Dugrce of, sllenbrooke parted Ilth $10,000 for this much liked pacer. The idea of bringing him to Qudvec was to endeavor to head oil Time Table 1.02% and Guy H. 2.00% that had been winning practically all the free-for-alls there.

The attendance was 4.000. quite a number of those present being anxious to see the newly imported pacing star. Our correspondent gives this account:-"'I'he latest imported horse. Texas Hanover. raced in tough luck here. In the first heat he had a very poor start and could not get through when they hit the home stretch. In the second heat June Crattan locked wheels with him just after the word Go. He won the third heat of l 1/16 miles easily. out- pacing the 0t ers at the finish and it looked me that the fur- iher he went the better he was. The time for the 1 1/10 miles was 2.1514, which is a new track rec- orrl here. Addie Hanover 2.04%. s mare that Raoul Potvin raced for a number of years. won the second heat with the mile in 2.09%. Mr. Potvin remarked: ‘She always upsets the dope!’ The oth- er heat was won by June Grattan. l am told that Innis Praught got upset at Sherbrooke and had four ribs broken. Too bad. Blue Bon- nets plan racing for the weekend. Raoul Potvin expects to leave next week for Duflerin Park. Toronto. and is taking Sky Top." Thanks, Harry. for the news.

It was one of the toughest ever seen over the Charlottetown track and the sur- prise about it was not so much the win of Uscitmwhc was known to have great staying qualities. but the amazing showingof The British Soldier that was always thought to be only good for three heats.

Gus Bodnar put Leafs into ar- early lead at 14:38 in the first per- iod cvn Gaye Stewart's pass as El- mer Lacih of Canadiens was in the penalty box. That looked good un- til half way through the final pen- iod as Leafs and Cnnadlens batter- ed each other with bruising checks and 10 penalties were dished wt in the first two frames.

Then Camdiens began ga-nging in on Turk Broda and Georg Al- len finally beat him at the 10.05 mark on an easy dribbler. Billy Reay and Maurice Richard had carried the puck down and were skated off and Allen got his stick on the passout. to roll the rubber along the ice and into the corner.

Bob Goldharn of Leafs had to leave the game with a wrer ed knee early in the third periid a ter he and Kenny Reardon crashed to- gether as Rees-don was racing in.

Back ome After. Five . Years’ Service

VANCOUVII, Nov. 1 — (CP)—' Five years of action-packed war years over, Lieut. Joan Bamford- Fletcher came home today a Mem- ber of the British Empire. an non- or bestowed for heroic services h: Sumatra, and with stories of many adventures in the Far East.

First white woman ever to com- mand a force of Japanese soldiers. Lieut, Bamford-fletcher told in an interview of her war services in Sumatrg with a British welfare unit where she supervised the evacuation of 2,000 lnternees. mostly women and children, through mountainous, bandit-in- fested country.

She did not know when the in- vestlture would be, perhaps in London next year when she re- turns oversens. She has an offer of a new poet in Warsaw from the British Foreign Office.

Regina-born. the modest, 30- ear-old Lieutenant went overseas in 1041, aervl-ng with the Red

Cross and the "Fanys." the First Aid fhirsing Yeoman, oldest wo- men's service in the Empire.

For a woman who never harried

a. gun and doesn't know how to use one. her war adventures took nerve, but she ‘isrnlsse’ them lightly.

"From under the noses of Indon- esian bandits in Sumatra she car- ried out evacuation of the inter- nees, through bleak, dangerous country and over mountain trails-

Twenizy trips were made to bake the evacuees from Banking Camp, to Padang, and each took from 1 a.m. to 9 pm, where bandit-bar-

ricaded roads were frequent, Ater Sumatra, she went to Single-pore, arriving 'on the first

hospital ship to enter the war-torn port.

Lieut. Bnmford-Fletcher was in- jured in Sumatra in o. motor accl- dent, and she also contracted black water fever. .

‘lbday. she has n plastic jaw, the work of a London aurgflon. who was forced to replace an infected bone caused by the fever.

"My plans are indefinite." she said here. "I hope to return to London next April."
