The following year .0,- perlinps it was in 1914- Mr. James retired and went into bus-- ‘iness whore he was ouccessiul and riiadc many friends. He was ‘Til years oi age at the time of his death and still retained an interest in and love of horses.

i Many old-time horsemen in the llaritimes will remember the pacer Gallagher 2.03 1-2. that WI] raced by Len Ackcr. well-known movie and theatre operator. for “Mox and loo" oi Halifax. Gallagher was on the down grade when he hit the Meriaimes but he won some races aiid made a good showing in many others. He was a beautiful bay horse with black points and had a nice olsy way of going that made him a favorite with raoe fans.

Don lllacieod. sports writer with the S\dney Post. whose address is N ‘ Sydney‘. has complied an exec. loiially interesting review of iumess racing in Cape Breton the ltason of 195 from which these are extracts. “During the season which opened with a matinee at North Sydney -May 24th. and con- cluded with an overcoat meeting October llth.._.there were eight meets run off at North Sydney, three rit Glace Bay and one at lnvcrness. Although the record of] 2.07 1-2 held jointly by Royal I-lan- over 2.04 1-2 and Dermst 2.04 was not lowered or equalled, the racing during the season was rated by veterans as having been some of the finnt seen since the track was built some forty years ago.

There were ten mainland horses here during the exhibition week two-day card early in September. with veteran drivers Billy Hood _ind Bob Morrison bringing in five horses each. The fastest mils of the season Wlg that of Josedalo HD0516;- from the Charlie Walker Jtables, Halifax. when he stepped I in 2.09. One of the season's real high- sllilllls was the lowering oi the In- ‘lomess track recod to 2.11 1-2 llv Watchlm 2.07. owned by Prank Alli-ms. Halifax. with Billy l-lood llP- "Boodle" won almost twenty Jaces during the season and de- Jnonstrated that he is one of the. best in the cast. Other Oape Bre- tion drivers who enjoyed a good sea- ton included Mike Jabblee. Howard lllsilnas. George newts, woi-reii ‘l-llWls and Wes Vlckers.

_ Prospects for i944 are good. Al- "lldl a total oi l8 more new horses have bro-n brought in and there is ‘PVPIT evidence that an even better season ivitli more racing days will. ls cnloyed in i044.

WASHINGTON. Jan 2i _— (AP) — "There isn. as murn science in baseball 3,5 there was beck in the old days. and Lhe lively bali has prevented the development of many really great pitchers in recent years"

That's, the way Walter Johnson, one oi the game's. hurling immor- tals. suns up baseball ills oi to-

day.

“Before the liw-ly bail silifred the emnhasLs to slugging, we didn't carry a lot of relief pitchers". he recalled. “when a pitchrr started a game. he knew he vras expected to go nine innings. ar-‘i usually

"Today. whci‘. r pit/mot‘ gives up is single. or miybe walks a coup- 1e oi men. the managers pull him out for o relief hurler. f can see where it takes the heart out of a youngster to set- a lot of activity in the bull pm wherever he lets a batter or two reach base."

Johnson. who operates a pros- perous dairy farm nearby Ln Wes- ternMslivland. likes ti. tell of the time back in i908 when he shut out the New Yor‘: Yankees in consecutive g:..'.les. ‘Thais a rec- ord that probably‘ will stand for keeps, pitchers don't o'er! that hard anymore
