Joe Page, who set a Yankee re- cord by appearing games in 1947, was nearly as busy the past season. with fifty-five ap- pearances. He led the league as a work horse, though his record tap- ered off to seven won, eight lost. The Yankees high winner was Vic Rasciii. 1.9-8, who registered six shutouts.

I I I

Accenting the Yankee mound trouble that did so much to spoil their bid to repeat for the flag, was the sharp falling off of Frank Shea in his sophomore year. in 1947 Shea was highest in the league in the won-lost percentage. with a 14- 5 record for an .806 average. Last

season Shea won only nine and lost ten. His earned run average was 3.40. compared with 3.07 for

i947. I I I I

Also Allie Reynolds slipped from a. nineteen-game winner in 1947 to a sixteen-game winner last term. The Yankees‘ fnpat had been the third best in earned-run averages in '47, with the White Sax, at 2.01 But he was less impressive this year. at 3.65, though the red-head- ed lefty won seventeen games or one more than he had for Chicago.

all miss Johnny and Monty from the races next year, but they were practically unknown this time lastyear and no doubt there will be others coming on that while they may not give us quite as many thrills, will keep ‘the game going.

E. A. “Ted" Grant, H lton Maine, who was here de in: Turfcraft sulkles and carts at The Charlottetown, had to cut his visit short but returning took ii’- way virith him a weanling which he bought from Frank McKay. East Royalty. The youngster is by Calumet Budlong 220204 and his dam in Betty S. 21M. Betty made a. clean sweep of practically all the events she was eligible to the season she was raced through the Maritlmes by C. M. Alexan. der. Saint John, N. B. Her get is bound to make headlines.

Weflearn with regret that Char- lie Barrett. Park Hill, Ont., passed away early this week. Charlie had a most colorful career with tlie horses, which reached its climax when he brought out the pacer Grattan Royal. Every year chm-- lie would attend the ChicagoHoi-sc Sale which was then a big ven- due. and return with one or more colts or aged horses. which he would train or race and sell. In 1911 he brought back with lilm a two-year-old by Grattari, out of Mona. by Robert McGiegor 21171.5. I believe he paid about $300 for the beautiful bay with the jet black mane and tail. ‘He gave him a little training that w*nter and in the spring of his three- rear-old form the youngster show- ecl well. Through the slimmer he paced nuarters in 30 seconds and vhat winter Charlie took him to the Ice races in Toronto where he paced a sensational mile that led :0 his sale a. few months later to n Toronto sportsman for $5,000.

Grattar. Royal was entered in a number of stakes. His first start was made in June and he won easily in 2106M. In a race late: on he met with an accident which permanently crippled him and he was sold to a breeder in the _mid- western states for a small sum Earlv in the spring that he dis- posed of Grattan Royal. Charlie liad bred him to four mares and these in their four-vear-old form showed great speed and were verv easy gaited. Charlie realized at once that Grattan Royal was des- tined to he a great sire, so he went. to the States, bought him and brought him back and placed lﬂrrn in the stud.

His na-me became famous through the exploits of Louis Grattan that took a. record of 2:00 and dominated the Grand Circuit, and of Roy Grattan. that took a record of 2101M. and won riiost of the big pacing stakes on the Grand. The other two were iiot quite as classy but still great race horses. As time went on the fame of Grattan Royal spread over the United States and Can-

‘ aria, and horsemen made "a beat-

en path to his door”. His fee rvas raised from $50 to. I believe, $500 as time went on and champion ai- tcr champion was sired by him. Two of the greatest of these were widow Grattari 2:00 and Gratian Bars 1259!: They met in a $25,000 stake at Windsor, Conn" half-mile track as four-year-olds. and it was one of the great duels of speed of the century. Graitan Bars

i finally won out. He then went on

to win two other $251100 5001015 and s number of lesser ones to end the year the greatest money winning pacer of all time. Widow Grattan after a very classy cam- paigii, became a brood mare and is the dam of The widower 1:59. destined to be a leading sire of speed in the United states.-

The writer met Charlie Barrett for the ﬁrst time when racing over the ice circuit in Toronto, Decein- ber, 1914. He had been brought down to drive Grand Opera 2:08

drive he did give that horse. There was a. tremendous speculat- ion on the event and it was one of the most thrilling contests I have ever witnessed. As a horse- man he was versatile. knew how to break, train, manner and cam- paign and was peculiarly. gifted in that he could pick out from a

We have no record of the year he starred racing, but Roger Duncan told the writer he remembers limit when he was sixteen years old he saw Tom Holmes drive a race at a track near Boston and Tom was one of the ﬁnest looking men and best dressed drivers on the track. We do know that he raced horsw in the Marltimes as far back as i908 and was one of the top driv- ers through the New England States for many years.
