The P. J. Cadegan stable of Glace Bay. N.B. for 1952. looks to be one of the most formidable ever cam- paigned in the Maritime Provinces. It will be headed by the 8-year-old pacer Lucky Chief 2.04!-is. by Chief Abbedale 2.00. Last year he started in 33 dashes, was first to the wire four times, eight times second and seven times third. with winnings of 812,201.67. His total race win- nings are 833,981.81. He raced in the fastest company throughout the season and as his money winnings show had a most creditable carn- paign. His first win was at Yonkers. N. Y.. May 15th and he was first in a. 32.000 classified pace, heading the best pacers stabled there - time 2.06. At Roosevelt Raceway July 4. he won a S2.5U'J pace in 2.0517. and on August 25 he won is 82.500 pace over the same track in 2.04:”-. He was owned at that time by Eugene P. Cray. Bel- lows Falls.

We pre- sume the very capable Worrcll Lewis. who is one of the top driv- crs in the 50 selected by the U. S.- T.A.. will again prepare and race Mr. Cadegan's stable. A very suc- cessful business man. Mr. Cadegan has carried business practices into harness racing by buying good horses, harness and equipment and having them raced by capable hands. Our best wishes for success in 1052.

Looking back over the years we have noticed where trainers have made great successes with horses that others have practically "thrown away." One of the best examples of this is described very well indeed in Trot Along. a book written by the late W. H. Gocher, who was for so many years secretary of the Na- tional Trotting Association. which was later merged into the United States Trotting Association. His article is headed "Making Mabel Traak" . "There she is." re- marked Walter Cox, as he stepped in front of a box stall. in the can- ary colored barn near the entrance in the Granite State Park at Dover. N. H.. one spring morning in 1918. At the sound of his voice. the oc- cupant of the stall walked toward the half door. over which she stuck her chestnut head with it couple of splashes of white in the face and whinnied softly for sugar. As none was forthcoming she took a glance down the line at Young Todd. Fris- ro Worthy. Busy's Lassie and Lu Princeton. and turned away. while the reinsman whose skill had made her name a household word took up the thread of the conversation and said: 'In my opinion and from what I can learn, she is the great- est. race mare that ever wore a harness)

Later in the day in response in an inquiry as to how he selected Mabel Trask from the hundreds of horses offered him every year. Cox said: "I owned her two or three weeks before I saw her and I have alwsvs thought that someone wish- ed her on to me. because none oi the western people that had seen her trained and raced considered

."I never heard of Mabel Trass until one morning in April. 1913. when I received a long night lettei from Ed Allen of Marion, Iowa. 11.: must have been saving all winter in pay for that message. the sub- stance oi which was that there were two four-year-old fillies by Peter the Great out in the corn country that were for sale. He piled the bouquets on Jeanette Speed and wanted me to believe that she could win all the purses in the Grand Circuit. while her mate was a little. side reining. spitfire with a three-year-old recordiol 2.1451 made over a mile, track.

Y.. so he and Allen packed the two fillies into is freight car with I-Iogan's household goods and kissed them! good-bye. hem Rochester to Dover the pair put on a few airs. and: some more expense. by riding ill. an express car. When they arrivod.' all of the big events for the year! had closed, except at Columbus, and Lexington. Like all ,

horses, I started Mabel Trask olrl with a loose check rein and dull not even put the bit in her mouth..' I also soon found that she was as full of whims as a school girl She would stop whenever she felt so disposed, and would only turn oncl way on the track. and. sometimes? she would not even do that. Shel quit sidc reining. which I think; was caused by being checked high i but it took some time to have her go, where and when I wanted her.

"Frequently when I was Jozgiiig her on the sand roads outside the: park. she would hear someone: chopping in the bush or a squirrel! rustling in the leaves. and stop for. four or five minutes. Then like a; flash she would "rush off at a ten: gait. ()ne day I decided to try what a stroke of lllo whip would do. 1 made the application but ioi the next five iniiiutcs I was so busy dodging her heels and keeping her from jumping the fence. that i never tried it again. Between IIIIICSI I also found that she had more; speed for a brush. than any horse I ever sat behind. but in order to use it I had to get control and have her respond when I touched the button. In the interval 1 also iwroic Barton Pardcc. who had requested me to find him a couple of trotters, and told him what Ed Allen l'iad wished on me. At the same time I also told him that he could havn the pair at cost. MY. Pardce bought them just as 1 did. without seeing them. but before he

was a wonderful trotter. I suppose it sounded like the same old story. as he suggested that I enter the good one in a couple of small purses at Cleveland. while I also named her in the 8111.001) men at Colum- bus.

"Mr. Pardee joined the stable at Cleveland about a week before

I advised him to hold Mabel Trask over. I also showed him a mile in 2.10, but that did not impress him very much. However. he decided to declare her out and when he did Mabel Trask was started on a slow preparation for 1916. When we ar- rived at Hartford, Mi-. Pardee said he was going home. I asked him to remain over for another day and told him to get out to Charter Oak Park bright and early with his watch. He was there. and after timing Mary Putney a half in 1.01. he saw Mabel Trask trot ll mile well within herself in 2.003. That made him smile. I think it was the first tlmn that summer. Later in the day. when someone offered 825,000 for her. he shook his head and walked away. After this mile I also decided to start her at Col- rmbiis. With but two weeks to get her ready. she trotted second to Peter Scott. while her manners were perfect.

"After that race buyers were thicker than bees on a berry bush in June and one of them iinally offered 335,000. You can better be- lieve that I coaxed Mr. Pardee to sell. Finally one morning when he had grown weary listening to me talk, Mr. Pardee said that he would sell Mabel Trask. but that l was not to bother him again until I was offered his price. When I asked him what it was. he said 3250.000. It took me about three days to get my breath back. However. the more was not sold. and I am glad she was not. even at that figure. which was twice the amount paid for Arion. and more money than was ever asked for any horse in the history of the world.

"The public knows the balance oi the story. In the past two years. Mabel Trssk was started in races. of which she won ill, was second in six and third in one. She has now a record,of 2.02'.i and at Poughlreepsie I timed her myself in a second heat on the outside of St. Frisco in 2.019;. In twenty of her races Mabel Trask has met lst.

the but series of races that were ever recorded. He defeated her seven times while Mabel trimmed him in thirteen events. 1 do not know how many records she has reamed but I know that in 1916 and 1911 she earned enough to pay all the expenses of Barton Pardee's

Chnpiniiii's propost-rl trip to Halifax is another tribute to the goalkecping of the young Ontario- born not custodian who has been playing sensational hockey for the past month. As it youngster in Fort Frances, Onlario, Frederick was being groomed for the N. N. L. bill he slipped away to VVnsl- orn C:Iniid:i and plziyorl with the Edmonton Fly(-rs scvcrnl seasons ago.

And now if time in its flight could olily turn back two week:.. just for tonight, the islanders might yet come through. It was two weeks ago tonight that the Islanders went into Halifax after playing for five nights in a row and licked the Saints 4-1 to clinch second place. Those were the cocky. confident Islanders who would win no mat- ter the pricc. Those were the Is- landers who throughout thecwinter had been handing the Santamar- inns their most hitter defeats and they could still be the Islanders who could yet humiliate the Saints,

Tonight some of the fellows who have not been producing will have to comp through or else fans have seen their last of M.M.I-1.1.. hockey, at least for this season And if they do come through then fans are going to see their best hockey of the year for the Island- crs once they hit the victory trail v.'ill be hard to stop. I O O O

A fellow on the Saints team who has turned in the best perform- ances this week that we have ever seen him give is big Hughie Camp- bell. The Saints right winger has been ripping through the Islandeis defense as though it was non-ex- istent. He has had more scoring op- portunities than any man in the series and its to Ray Prederickis credit that he hasn't had at least half a dozen goals. Campbell also has been outstanding defensively and has been used extensively in killing penalties. A lot of credit for Campbell's showing must go to Billy Watson. his centreman. who is an- other top notch hockey player.

Another brl:;l'li. point during the week was the releasing of the of- ficial M. M. H. L. point-scoring statistics. These. figures showed that Willie Marshall was the high- est goalscorer in the league with 51. one more than Jim Anderson of Glace Bay. Mnrshall finished fourth in the race with 96 points one behind "Bud" Poile. Len Haley was tops with 105 while Johnny Ubrlacn of the Beavers and Pete wywrot of the Miners were tied -for second place with 100 points.

THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN

Georgetown

Georgetown Eagles last night captured the Island intermediate "B" championship at Georgetown, defeating the Borden Nationals 4-1. and taking the round ll-7.

Through the three periods of hockey the superiority of the Eagles was unquestioned. although Borden had a. chalice to tie up

lod when they put on a gang at- tack which had the Eagles in trouble for several minutes. Although the ice was heavy. the game, which started slow, picked up speed to reach a climax in the third period with both teams at- tacking at top speed. Both goalies put on a very fine performance. although the Borden goalie was the busier during the game as Georgetown held the puck in the visitors' zone, time and again bat- tering at the defense to find a loophole. Murphy. I-I. MacLean. Publicover and MacDonald were the goal get- tcrs for the Eagles. wliiic W. MacFayden got the lone tally for the Nationals. Lincups:- ' Georgetown: Goal, Sullivan: de-
