From now until the end of the year we will be busy compiling our Annual Review of Harness Racing. so it was with great pleas- uro that we received by express on Wednesday the ;Iudgcs' books with the information on all horses that raced in the Cape Breton circuit and, a compilation of their performances, from Ken MacDoug- all, Presiding Judge of that cir- cuit. A letter from Mrs. Mac- Dougall states: "Ken left earlier thsn expected for Harrisburg and asked me to get these books away to you. May I extend my per- sonal thanks and appreciation for the Guardian. 1. as well as Ken, greatly enjoy Down the Back Stretch and look forward to its coming." Included in the parcel was a large photo of the genial Ken, extremely lifelike and cer- tainly a perfect replica of him.

Cape Breton circuit opened on May 24th and closed on October 17th. One hundred and twenty- one horses raced and a total of 5-15,469.30 was paid out in purse money. Jacob VVithrow, owned by Ervin Fraser. had the most wins --14-and was second largest money winner and Lucky Chief 2.04 U5. owned by P. J. Cadegan, Glace Bay, was the largest money winner, with Vella La Veils. own- ed by Arthur Lipton, third larg- est money winner. From the amount of material we have re- ceived it looks as though our Review for the past season will show more horses raced for more money on Maritime tracks than ever before.

Every year the catalogues for the Standard Bred Horse Sale at Harrisburg, Pa.. have been get- ting larger and this season will see more horses consigned than over before, and it is expected that there will be more bidders present when the auctioneer taps his gavel for the first time on Monday, November 10th. It wouldn't be surprising if the total take for that week will run to a million and a quarter dollars, so many good colts and aged horses are being considered.

From all over the Maritimes horsemen are journeying there to hid, buy or just look. Cape Bre- ion harness racing officials and owners started last Friday, Octo- her .3151. among them "Cattle" Campbell. well known driver, who will be the representative of the Ashby Horsemen's Club. a new or- ganization. and he will seek to bring home- a good free-for-all pacer and a slow class trotter. P.-.T. Cadcgan. Glace Bay, own- or of the well known Lucky Chief, has also left and is expected to bring home another good pacer and possibly a trotter. Mr. Camp- .bell and Mr. Cadegan will stop off at Yonkers before going to Harrisburg, where they expect to look over some horses racing there. Racing doesn't conclude at Yonkers until November 15th. With destination also Yonkers Raceway is the large Cadegan van and the Veil Stables van. which between them can bring home a total of twelve horses and if Cape Breton wants can be satis-

fled both will be fully loaded, as in addition to those mentioned there are other private owners in the market for horses and also the North Sydney 1-lorsemen's

Club.

In Aubrey Keizer's column in the Sydney Post-Record is the following: "When driver Joe

McDonald left he took along Ohio Hal, owned by the Sydney Sports- men's Club, who will appear in races at Lewiston. Me., and may later undergo an operation to clear up his breathing difficulties. Accompanying Joe was Worrcil Lewis and in a few days time they will be joined by Jimmie Fer- guson, secretary of the Turf Club. Harry Hirsch and Art Lipton. prominent owners, and others will be going to Harrisburg also.

If parties in Cape Breton can- not fill their orders at Harris- burg some of them will proceed to Delaware, Ohio, sales the first week in December, so you can see from the above that Cape Bre- toners mean to have the right kind of horses to make the sea- son of 1953 a banner one in that locality. Prince Edward Island will be well represented too by horsemen whose names have al- ready appeared in the press and we understand that several par- ties who raced at Truro and also a good contingent of New Bruns- wlckers will be on hand at Har- riaburg.

And now we hear from Cecil H. McGinley, Houlton, Maine, who encloses a catalogue of the Bor- der View Farm horses, owned by H. 13. Birmingham. Houlton, Me., which were put up at auction on Monday, October 27th. They are the gel: of Bell Boy 3, 2.01 over a mile track and 2.o3'.f.- over a half- mile track. Bell Boy also took a record as a. two-year-old of 2.01-". and was the champion of that age in 1940. Only four of the 20 consigned met the reserve prices placed on them by the owner and the top price was paid for the three-year-old roan filly Jennie Lee Hy, by Bob Lee 2.0391, dam, Janie Canuck, the dam of Mac Hy and Friday Hy 3, 211. A reserve price of 32,500 was put on Duke Azoff 2.09 1l5. an eight-year-old free-legged pacer by Calumet Bud- long 2.02121, dam, Dolly Azotf 2.0"l. The owners statement said that he refused 36,000 for this horse sometime previously. A two-year- old named Betty Bell by Bell Boy. dam. Betty Budlong, own sister of Mary S. Budlong 4. 2.10 W5, had a reserve price of 31,100.

Cecil writes: "The sale was quite disappointing to the owner. who considers his stock very high- iy and feels that the buying pub- he does not appreciate them. only four head were sold as there were few buyers, although there was quite a crowd present. The Bell Boy foals are all young, only one has started in a. race as yet and that was a two-year-old--B. B Grattan, out of Alice Grattan. a grey more that was owned over in your country at one time. H. B, Grattan started a. couple of times at Saratoga in the two-year-old stakes and was second in 2.17 or 2.18.. Most of the local horses are home except the Boy Ryan stable, which is still racing at Yonkers.

"Lee El-vin, who was racing at Foxboro and Batavia, N. Y.. with his two-horse stable, Zombell Abbe and Lady Faultless, gave both

200 U5 and the mare 2.10 W5. He sold zombell Abbe for. a good price at Batsvia, said to be in the neighborhood of 36,000. I under- stand Bob Brown and Henry De- Witt, Woodstock, will attend the l-Iarrisburg sale and I wouldn't be surprised if they buy something there. Several parties from Arcs- took county are also planning to attend the sale. They are ,still racing down in Maine, this week it has been at Lewiston. Frank Pike of Bridgton, Me., is racing

of Gorham, Me. is planning to take his stable to Dufferin Park. Toronto, to race there this winter. .....Thanks, Cecil, for your thoughtfulness in sending us the news.

Prick Rules No Tampering.

NEW YORK. Nov. '1 -(AP) - Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick tonight ruled there was no tamper- ing lnvolved when St. Louis Browns signed Harry (The Cat) Breecheen last week after the Cardinals had asked for and received waivers on the veteran southpaw.

President Fred Saigh of the Cards had filed tampering charges against the Browns last week. de- claring the Browns had signed Brecheen who, he claimed, had never been given his unconditional release.

llrccheen had contended that as a 10-year man in the "majors, he automatically became a free agent when waivers had, been received from the other clubs. Brecheen in- sisted the Browns had not ap- proachcd him until after the waiv- cr period had expired.-

nrecheen was reported

to have

signed a two-year pact with the Browns. calling for a salary of :20,- 000 as a player-coach the first year and 314,500 as a coach the second year. '

Islanders last night eked out at 2-1 victory at the Forum when they downed Glace Bay Miners to break a three-game losing streak. It was their first victory this week aft.er.iosing to Miners, Millionaires and Atlantics.

Neither team displayed much brilliance as the game was more the dogged. keep digging variety with very little excitement for the estimated 1.400 fans.

The locals took an early lead

when in II scramble around the Miners' net Gordon got his stick on a passout and tipped the rub- ber past. the hard-working Lock- hai-t. The visiting goalie was easily the best of the Bay team last night as he kicked away a storm of rubber. Islanders con- trolled the play most of the even- ing and Lockhart. had to be good to keep the score within reason- able limits. While letting two goals in, be stopped 41 that were label- led. Arneil in Islanders net had only 17 stops to make, but many of them hard drives from close in. The first period was dull with little action, but things livened up a bit in the second when Hinch- berger started to throw his weight. his hands and his stick around. He collected a couple of .penal- ties, one for elbowing and the other for high sticking. Burega, of Minors, and Marcel Clements gotlinto a mixup at the south end and were banished for five min- utes to cool off. The middle canto was less than six minutes old when the visitors evened the count as Mccracken went in alone on an unprotected Arneil to. give the goalie no chance on his hard drive to the corner from 12 feet out. Island- ers had been putting on a power play and the puck had been clear- ed out of the end zone to Gray. 1-le muddled around with the puck and the flying Mccracken stoic it from between his legs.

The local team recovered their lead 10 minutes later when in an- other scramble around Mlnei's' net Hub Beaudryl got a quick pass from Mcliiagan and Bonhomme and fired a. low 30-foot screened shot which Lockhart never saw until it was passing him. Beaudry

Is1an.ders Break 3-"Game Losing Streak With 2-1 Victory Over Glace Bay

played a good game all night.

At this stage things were be- ginning to offer some excitement as the boys were free with elbows. There was also a bit of charging and holding was noticeable with tempers inclined to flare. A

The final period was eight min- utes old before Miners had a. shot on Arneil but they started crowd- ing to give him some anxious mo- menis before his mates could break away. The locals thought they had another goal late in the period when the puck was shovel- led past Lockhart from a scramble in front of the net. Howevei. though the red light flashed re- feree Hughie Gillis ruled that..ln stopping a passout Buck Whltlock had closed his fist on the puck. There was only a mild argument over the decision.

After the game Referee Glllis remarked that the officials had had an easy time last. night coin- pared to some of the Donnybrooks of recent weeks.

weather for the past few days, chill winds and misty drizzling rains, has added up

Typical November

to ease hunting pressure on the much harrassed wlldgeese. Many fields are becoming soft and car travel is hampered accordingly. A lot of hunters balk at carrying a load of decoys a. quarter mile or farther. The danger of becoming bogged down in low lying fields will become greater as the month progresses. Getting a car out of such a predicament entails a lot of hard labour and doesn't improve the disposition of the farmer who owns the land. Play it safe boys when the terrain is doubtful for

car travel.

Many stories are being told re- garding hunting experiences while in quest of wlldgeese. Not long ago 0 party of hunters rigged out in a field at Bedeque were puzzled at the behaviour of a large flock of geese that seemed loath to decoy. The cause was quite evident when a red fox was spotted beliying up on the wooden blocks. They were so lifelike they fooled the fox and would have fooled the geese only when trying to shoe the fox away they frightened the geese as well and got a shot at neither. . . .

A goose hunter with a sense of humor told me a few days ago that he had a great laugh at himself over the incident relatgd in last weeks Corner when a goose caller got nothing but squeaks out of a goose call. He said the same thing happened to him and a hunting companion recently. Each of them
