The writer had the pleasure of looking over Alderman Frank

Adam's stabe of five a few days ago while visiting Halifax. Billy Hood is the trainer and he has a capable staff with him, The quin- tette are Abner T. Clegg 2.04 1-2, Ruth Peters 2.13 1-4. Sunworthy 2.21 1-4, the four-year-old pacer Jean Brewer. and three year old trotter Bell Brewer. both by Peter Brewer. which Mr. Adams brought to the Maritimes and later sold to Earle Rowe. M. P.

Ollie Rudderham. who raced Alb- ner '1‘.

training at Goshen, New York, dur- ing the summe and fall season. 1t was the heyday of Cox's greatness and Harry took care of some of the best >~in the land. including Arthur Mover 2.02 3-4 t., 2.02 1-4 p., at one time the almost-holder of the world's double-salted record.

The horses he looked after were invariably either first or cxmtend- ers and when Cox's patron, Mr. Cane became interested in the run- hers. Harry was given two to look after. It didn't take him long w master the difference in technique necessary in handling these high spirited and keenly sensitive ani- mals. and he secured such a good reputation that recently there has been inquiries for his services and * as a result oi two of these inquiries that he has left our fair province. Whether he will take a position with a Canadian racing stable or go on to Belmont, New York. will not be known until he interviews parties in Montreal. The writer will be one of those who will miss him. as he was a great help in starting the runners at the Pro- vincial Exihibition the last two sea- sons. His genial manner and always happy disposition made him a gen-

eral favorlte at all times.

The other evening there was an inquiry via the telegraph route ask- ing particulars of Jackie Volo 2.19 1-4, five year old gelding owned by Ira Douglas of this city, lhattraceald er. occurred to me that there must lie some reason for this interest other than the possibility of a purchase, so I looked the trappy gelding up and find that he is extremely well- bred and has license to go very fast. His sire is Palx Volo 2.07, by Qcter Volo 2.02, and his dam is the well- bred mare Confection 2.10. brought to the Annapolis Valley by Mr. J. H. DeWitt some years ago.

No reflections on others-because most of the horses I see around either at the race track or driving are in good order-but “honestly speaking" as my good friend Hugll Walker would say. I believe Tom Holmes has the two best condition- ed horses in this province in Lusty Frisco 2.07 i-4 and Margaret Abbe. This beautLul chestnut four year old is a daughter of Abbe Worthy 2.05. out of Juanita Aubrey. 2.16 1-2. that some of our readers will remember when raced by the late Hammond Kelly. Juanita was sold to parties in Cape Breton and won quite a number of races there. Her sire is Captain Aubrey 2.07 1-4. By the way. just. mark it down as a four-to-one shot, that Lusty Frisco will be at his peak about July 1st. Tom has great difficulty res rain- ing the beautiful son of San Pran- cisco when he hits the stretch.

Oregon Hal, trial 2.14, is now 1n the stable of Fred Shea. Kensing- ton. This is a well-bred horse, of good a peai-ance and style. possess- ing a arrel of s d. and butvfor an accident woifi have certainly paced in .10.

H. S. Taylor of Springfield N. S. writes me that Pax Volo 2.07 is 1n the pink o. condition. weighing over 1100 lbs and ‘is pronounced by _ in the Annapolis Valle as the handsomest horse they ave ever seen. Locally Pax Volo's co.ts have been showing up well in the futurities and a lot of them are be- ing trained for these events season.

Pax Volo wore the lightest shoes I ever saw used on a horse, with

net's horses consist of the well known Quaker Girl 2.09. Gu Brit- ton 204 4 d Hl-Sm t‘) 2.25.

Others may be added later.

The addition of Trainor Rudder- ham to the Halifax colony makes two Cape Bretoners who have for- laken the steel and coal country for the llfihets of the big city-Billy Hood ing the other. Both are high-class trainers who invariably have their horses in the best pos- gble condition. Located also at the

allfax track is the well known Bill Cummings. who has‘ Sully 2.10. Ruby Lee by An v Lee and Rub Volo, both out of u-bv P. 2.04 3- , for Alderman Harry Breen.

Jimmie Power in the Halifax Her- lld of Tuesday. states that" the track record so far this season at the hibition grounds was ‘ Saturday by 0. . Dauphinoe’: Marven Brooke 2.04 1-4 which is in fine shape following the winter racing. when handfed y C. J. Craig. Jr. he paced a mile in 2.40. The track was in good shape on

m This ' CORNER

Everything is in readiness for the big opening boxing match at the Forum Tuesday night when Haywood “8hadow" Storey meets Bill Sparks of Amherst in the main bout of a card that has the fans already unduly excited over the outcome.

9K 9K 9K 9K

So many good things have been both said and written about Storey that Islanders in general are anx- iously awaiting his appearance and at the same time wondering if he will live up to the glowing accounts that have preceded him here. 1n this his first appearance in an Is- land ring.

9K 9K 9K 9K

Odds on the outcome are gradu- ally shifting to Storey who they feel will have a big advantage in experience once the pair step into the ring, but the backers of Sparks feel differently about the matter. And they too have plenty reason

to do so. 9K 9K 9K 9K

Although 1t is not generally known hereaboufs Tuesday's fight will mark the third time this same pair have_ met inside the squared circle. On the two previous occa- sions Storey was the winner; the first by a knockout in four rounds and the latter, only a short time ago by a. hairline decision.

On each occasion Sparks vowed that he would notbe satisfied until he had taken the measure of the Maine battler and who knows but Tuesday night may be his night. The Amherst boy. possessor of two of the most deadly punching hands in the Maritimes, has trained faithfully and well for the scrap and his supporters to a man vow that Storey will have to show ev- ery bit of his vaunted ability if he is to be returned the winner.

The annual meeting of the jun- ior baseball league failed to ma- terialize last night when only one team, Canadlens. had representat- ives present. After waiting around for nearly an hour for the remain- der to show up, present officers of the league reluctantly called of! the meeting until Wednesday night next when it is hoped that all those desirous of entering teams will make it a point to be present.

It wasn't an auspicious start c1 what was hoped to be a banner season by any means. and those directly concerned with the teams should show a little more interest at least and either signify their intention of being present or else- where. Those solldly behind the youngsters are willing to do any- thing ln their power to help the juniors along and 1t is only fair that the Juniors themselves should show some (to-operation and do all they can to help the cause along. particularly when all efforts are being made on their behalf.

Wednesday night is the new date for your annual meeting. boys, and if you are at all interested make it a point to attend.

Bill Ryan, former Aibegweit hoc- key and baseball star. with an eye to the future of senior baseball had over 20 juvenile ball players working out under his supervision at the Park diamond last evening.
