BACK STRETCH

One of the most popular train- ers in America is Del Miller, whose articles on shoeing, which appear in ‘“Hoofbeats’’, are wid- @ly read, and the information he gives has been very helpful to Many.

Del’s impressions of his trip to Europe some months ago have appeared in “‘The Harness Horse” and we believe they will be in- teresting to our readers. ‘‘Visi- ting in Denmark, I found that a ‘trainer there cannot have more than 25 horses, and a couple of them told me they usually keep % in case they get an oppor- tunity to get a real top horse that they will be able to accept

“They have about three grooms for 25 horses, and on race days, if they are racing seven or eight horses, they just keev bringing them in and out. I don’t think they give their horses too much walking. They certainly work hard and do a marvellous job, considering all the work which they have to do. They do not warm the horses up very much over there in any of the coun- tries, but at the track in Vin- cennes, France, and at Enzghein, you cannot warm up any hor- ses after the races start. but they do let you score a long ways and you can get a horse warmed up pretty good by scoring.

THE DIFFERENCE

“One of the questions which was asked of me many times ever there is why they do not seem to get much speed with their horses. I judged that there are two main reasons. One is that. they don’t get the training

. for fast miles that we give a

trot, which Jamin

horse, that is, brushing and the right amount of work. And the other is that I don’t believe you can race a horse long distances. ‘as they do, and still have them keep their speed. Also, the hor- ses in Europe do not get as much care as our horses do. The only time I saw a caretaker hav-

ing only one horse. was the care-| i

taker of the greatest trotter in France today, Jamin. His train- -er is one of the nicest young men I met over there, and 1 think he has much to do in keeping

this horse in top condition as long | i

as he has been racing.

“Prior to the Prix d’Ameriqu« Won. he had winnings of $100,000 this year. Had he been racing over in this country, and showing the form he ‘had displayed over there, his “winnings, undoubtedly, would

have been considerably larger.

“The Prix d’Amerique in Paris can be truly termed an “‘Inter- national” race. It drew an at- tendance of more than 50,000 peo- ple. There were people there from nearly every country in the world, and I personally met and talked to people from tweive or fourteen different countries, in- cluding Americans, Australians, North Africans, English, Belgians, Danes, Swedes, Finns, Norweg- ians, Germans, Dutch, Austrians and Italians.

AMERICAN BLOOD

“Everyone was anxious to talk about American horses, and about hoping to get more American brood mares and stallions for their respective countries, as they have been. unable to replenish the breeding stock which they lost during the war. In my op- inion, they have done a wonder- ful job on the Continent, and I think that, in the near future, you will find that trotting will be one of the largest sports in those countries, and both the rich and the poor seem to tase part in it and enjoy it.

APPEARANCE

“I was amazed at the man- ner in which the drivers conduc- ted themselves in the races in Eurepe. In the first place, they are very cleanly dressed, and the uniforms are all very neat, and as they have to wear white trousers, along with their high- iy-polished boots and driving col- ors, they make a very smart ap- pearance. They have to pass the judges on the way to the paddock before they can drive, and are cal'ed to task if not properly and neatly attired. Even in the rain, they have the rubberized white pants and rubberized driv- ing colors, which they have to wear.

“In all European countries, the driver wears the colors of owner and the driver, and if drives several horses in

DOWN WINDSOR

WINDSOR, N.S. (CP)—

| merside Aces downed the

day night to take the first game of the best-of-five series for the Maritime intermediate hockey title.

The second game will be play- ed here tonight with action switching to Summerside Sat-

“T drove five or six races, and even without the photo patrols, which they have in the States, there was very little even rub bing of wheels, and very little collision. They drove very clean, whether racing for big money or small money, dod they cer- tainly are very friendly to the foreign drivers, and also very co-operative with their own. They do not seem to take undue ad- vantage of each other in the races.

“After racing in Rome, Alden Gray and I drove from Paris to Berlin with two Germans, whom we met at the Prix .d’ Amerique in Vincennes It was about a 900- mile drive, and we took two days to cover it, and we saw a lot of very interesting points of Europe, including much of the nice farming section of Germany. We had to drive through the Russian sector of Germany of the Autobahn, which is similar to one of our turnpikes here in the United States and we went from there into the Eastern part

ene about Russian horses for his contemplated International Race at Roosevelt Raceway. We went to the Russian Embassy in Russian-controlled East Berlin, and the attache at the embassy promised that we would have word back the following Monday, as he was ‘sending a wire to the Minister of Agriculture.

IN GERMANY

“As we had three or four days to wait, we decided to visit the tracks in Germany. The first place we visited was a _ nice, three-quarter mile track in the Western Sector called ‘Marien - dorf’. It was a well, laid out track, mostly of clay or sand. I was invited to drive there on Saturday, and I drove in two races, winning with a horse cal- led F.S. on a very cold and raw day. The mile was in 2.12 and would have been as good as 2.07 on a good day gt one of our tracks.

“I surely marvel at the Ger- man horsemen, and one must see them to appreciate the wonder- ful comeback they have made since the war, with their racing and racing facilities. The barns are well kept, and some of .hem that had been bombed during the war are now being rebuilt. I think that, eventually, if they re- tain their freedom, Germany will become one of the top trotting places in Europe. 280 WINS

“In Germany, we had occasion to spend some time with Gerhart Kruger, who, in 1958, won 280 faces, which is a world’s record for a harness driver. Kruger is about 38 years old and appears to be a very capable man, and I believe he would- give a very creditable account of himself as a driver in the Jnited States. He is coming to tais country on a cruise, and expects to stop and visit in Orlando, Florida. I know he will be amazed at our methods. of trainimz horses, especially two-year-olds at this period of the

year.

S’‘Side Rotary Rink Captures Wellner Trophy

The Summerside Rotary Club captured the Wellner Trophy for the second straight year de- feating the Charlottetown rot- ary rinks yesterday by a close margin in matches played at the Summerside Curling rink. /

In ma‘ches played earlier this | season in Charlottetown the Summerside Club eked out a close aggregate point win when they won by a one point mar- |

gin. i Yesterday on. their home rinks, the Summerside Club |

won in the afternoon draw by | nine points but were shaded in| the evening contests by one) point, but won the two round competition by nine points.

Presentations were made fol- | lowing the play last evening by | George Greenough with the | president of the Summerside | ; Club, John Arnold presiding.

,at this track, I met people who | had been in the United States and , wished to be remembered to some of their friends in that country. There was a man nam- ed Knaurer, who had purchased many horses in the United States Lofore the war, and is now 8 years old. UNDER SOVIET

“The ‘Party’ had taken all of Mr. Knaurer’s horses, but he was still living on his farm. even though it was controlled by the | government.

“We returned to the Russian |Embassy on Monday, and were jtold that the Russians were. not jinterested at this time in bring- jing any horses to the United Stat- i or in exchanging horses_be- tween the United States and Rus-

-

{sia for racing purposes. As we were refused a visa to Russia we decided to return to the U.S.A. by way of London.

“While in Berlin, many peo- ple talked with us about Clariie Mills, the great driver who was their hero before the war, and Berlin’s loss the gain of Paris ;and France as he moved from | Berlin in 1946 after losing ali his horses, and now he makes “aris his home, where he started a new life. As Mr. Lills was of Irish de. scent, the Germans did not: both- er him during the war, as Ire- land was a neutral country, but after the war, the Russians took his horses, farm and training plant, which, I hear, was one of the nicest in the world.” We be- lieve our readers will agree with us that Dell Miller, a great driver is also a great observer.

President D.K. MacLeod, and Allie Cutcliffe, secretary-treasur- er, of the Victoria Driving Club, must have been pleased with the big turnout of horsemen who at- tended the club banquet on mon- day night.

A delicious dinner was served by the Women’s Auxiliary of the Legion at the Clover Club, and E. Frank Acorn showed pictures of the Hambletonian and. Little ‘Brown Jug. Hon. Dougald Mac- Kinnon and Hon. B. Ear.e Mac- Donald, and others, gave short, humorous addresses. Walter R. Shaw, who was to have been preés- ent, could not attend because of

Big Difference

BOSTON (AP) — Everyone in- volved agreed Tuesday night that Boston goalie Harry Lumley was the big difference in the Bruins’ 5-1 victory over Toronto in the opener of their best - of - seven semi-final series for the Stanley Cup. “You couldn't put the puck by the big guy tonight even if you had a gun,”’ said Punch Imiach, Toronto general manager and coach. “No goalie in hockey could have done a beter job.” “‘Lum played himself’ one heck of a ball game,"’ said Boston coach Milt Schmidt. ‘“‘He came up with the big save when he stopped ‘Frank Mahovlich all alone when we were ahead 2-1.” SEES RUGGED SERIES Schmidt Said the. two teams “aren't so far apart as the score indicates” and he still expects a rugged series.

The Leafs were not too down- cast by the defeat, thinking they didn’t play an especially good game while the Bruins received sensational netminding by Lum- ley.

“They played well all the way

BOSTON (AP)—Boston Bruins drew .inspiration from the youth- ful acrobatics of roundfaced, 32- year-old goalie Harry Lumiey to defeat Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1 Tuesday night in the opener of their best - of - seven semi - final playoff series for the National Hockey League’s Stanley Cup.

Vie Stasiuk and rookie Larry Leach connected in the second period to break open a 1-1 dead- lock.

But the long-to-be-remembered moment of the ‘contest came after Labine’s tie-+breaking goal when Lumley—fiat on his back— scissored the puck between his legs after a shot by powerful Frank Mahovlich who raced in on Harry alone.

ROARING TRIBUTE

In appreciation of this highlight of the 70th National Hockey League playoff appearance by Lumley, tae standing-room audi- ence stood in a roaring tribute.

From that point, the Bruins were in command.

In less than a minute, Stasiuk, a 27-goal scorer during the regu- lar campaign, tipped in a Bronco |Horvath backhander and the Bruins led safely 3-1.
