Lurgely Attended Banquet ' Greatly Enjoyed As Two- Day Racing Meet’ Ends"

Mayor Blanchard when called upon also had a warm welcome for the NovaSootla men and before concluding asked that a moment's silence be observed in memory of the late Frank Boutilier of Halifax, one of the Maritimes’ best known horsemen who passed sway a few months ago.

Dr. F. C. Dougan in the course of his remarks stated that he con- sidered meets of this kind went a long way towards maintaining in- terest in racing during the winter season. He also naid tribute to Mr. Lahey and Mr. Scott for their ef- forts with the Halifax and Dart-

La- mouth Clubs. which were meeting

with so much success. In conclu- sion the speaker. on behalf of the Victoria Driving Club. asked Messrs. Scott. Lahev and Cudmore, presi- dents of the Halifax, Dartmouth and Brncklev Clubs to extend greetings to their members.

Short speeches were also made by Messrs. W. R. Shaw. J. W. Boul- ter. Gordon Mitchell of Halifax. C. Willis, J. Arbing. H. Cudmore, Pat McTague, Col. J. P. Hooper. and John Thompson of Oxford.

One of the feature events of the meeting was the presentation of beautiful silver trays to the vari- ous winners of the two days’ racing and as the owners came forward for the awards they were met with rounds and rounds of applause.

The musical part of the program was not overlooked by any means. Music throughout was supplied by Don Messer and His Islanders, to- gether with solos by Charlie Cham- berlain. all of which went over in a big manner.

Connie LeClair's character im- personniion of a lndv singer proved a big hit. as did John Thompson's solo, while Duke Neilsen held the big audience spellbound with some sleight-of-hand work that was real- ly well performed.

The gathering closed with the singing of Auld Lang Sync and the National Anthem.

Chicago Ball Glub Leaves For Spring Training

. By JERRY LISKA (Associated Prose Sport Writer) CHICAGO, March 7 — (AP)-

A handful of Chicago Cubs to- night lcft for French Lick. Ind., wiicre manager Charlie Grimm hopefully plans to send the Bruins through the opening spring train- ing session of the National Lea- gue sesson tomorrow.

Tksvelling secretary Bob Lewis invited i6 of the 3'7 players on the Cubs’ roster to make the jaunt from Chicago to the flood-plagued Indiana. base. Shortly before train time. several were unreported.

Other squad members were in- structed to get to French Lick from their winter residences as best they could.

Grimm, who has been sizing up his camp for the last few days, may not be able to get practice under way on schedule as the early-bird Washington Senator! did today at College Park. Md.

The rampant waters of the Lost River threaten to dampen plans for an outdoor workout. The Chi- cago player contingent is expected to arrive around dawn after a train-bus safari and may "sawing wood" most of the mor-

row.

Six pitchers. one catcher. five ln-flelders and four outfieldera were among the l6 players invited to leave with Lewis. The group was scheduled to reach Orleans Ind. by train at 4:25 A. M. and journey the remaining 1a miles to French Lick by bus.

Neither Lewis nor general man- a er James '1‘. Gallagher would a to guess how fnlny of the club's S’! players would be on hand tomorrow.
