Lusty Son! holds the record for two-year-old irotters so far this season-LOB Z-o pend is regarded as. the best spect for that class.

George said that the sixteen trotters got off to a splen'- did start and one thing he noticed particularly was the consideration which each driver showed for the other.

THE GUARDIAN,

CHARIJOTTETOWN

Charlottetown Abegwelts after about a week's layoff face a heavy weekend schedule when they play a total of three games in the mat- ter of slightly over 24 hours. The players will be tested to time full- est in this ambitious program and

should they be able to win all three games-that's a lot to ask- they will certainly have proven that the layoff didn't have any ill-effects. o t The games will also mark the first starts of the club under their new manager. George Francis. Since his appointment .“Shonna" has had the boys out for a couple of practice sessions and reports say that he has them really hust- ling with battles going on for permanent positions despite the advanced age the season has reached. c t s

That it as it should be. Once a band of players begin taking their positions for granted on any kind of a team then storm squalls can be expected. But when plavcrs have to hustle game after game they are bound to be on their toes at all times and that is one of the main requisites in banding to- gether winning combinations. '

This afternoon the local play the smooth-fielding Moncton Lieglon- sires at the latter place in a re- turn exhibition engament. Le- gionaires are the same- squad the Aibbies put up such a fine showing against in a game played at Mem- orial Field recently and local fol- lowers are looking for them‘ to perform even better this after- noon. Moncton fans should see a keen contest all the way through and a contest that shouldn't turn into a route by any means. O x O

The squad settles down to seri- ous league business here Sunday afternoon when they tackle first the R.C.A.F. and follow that up by engaging the present league lead- ers the Curran d: Briggs team. Both games are fraught with im- portance. A double victory would again place them on even terms with the Westerners while avio- tory oould well throw s wrench into their campaign to get to the top of the league and stay there. O O '

Attendance at the double bill Sunday should set new records. In their last two appeigrances before home town fans Abegweits gained a large number of new followers by their smart displays. The dis-J

OWAWA. July 29—(CP)—A m- rlfic cloudburst halted semi-final play today in" the singles of the

Canadian junior tennis champion-

ships.

Favoriles were advancing when a towering black cloud roared in- to the Rideau Lawn Tennis Club. sanding spectators and players fluttering for the clubhouse. drenching the courts, upsetting deck chairs. A IOO-yard-long wood. en footbridge which crosses the Rldeau River on the tennis club grounds was washed out.

Playing when the storm broke were the women's and men's sing- les semi-finals-four matches.

All matches will resume at the game, set and point at which they were interrupted. Officials hope to conclude the tournament tomor- row in order to send a group of Canadian juniors to the U. S. junior championships at Kalama- zoo, Mich., starting next week.

Tonight. the Charlottetown Race Track will be the scene of another Saturday night racing card when ten dashes will be un off at the “Kentucky of Cana a" oval with the first dasir being scheduled for 8x30 p.111.

The past Saturday night cards have been of the surprise package variety with the favourites having a tough time coming home ahead of the long-shots and tonight should prove to be no exception. finishes. hard

pay off have been in vogue in the- past; tonight repetitions should be witnessed.

Fourth and ninth events get top

billing when the bearcats of the

Island racing circuit tangle in two more duels. A11 entries have an equal chance and the action should he fast and torrid. '

The other classes on the program present pretty much the same pic- ture. So close that many of the finishes have been decided in the

brush for home. All have an equal

chance of copplniz the events in which they have been drawn.

For the first time in tho history of this province ‘Jim’ Crow now has a price on his ‘tootsies’ of five cents per each foot or tcn cents for the pair. When cutting off the feet be sure andleave at least two inches of the shank or leg. It's a good move by the De- partment concerned. For years new the crow has had things pretty much his own way as for as this province is concerned. Known all over the North Ameri- can Continent as the arch enemy of our bird life the crow has aroused the ire of sportsmen pri ' lly because of his inroads in the ranks of our wild ducks.
