187R RUNNING CHAMP KEEPS UP TIIF. PACE

' WLNNIPEG. Auz. i8 — (OP) — n Wasn't much of a chore for WN- Stevenson of Winnipeg to blow out the candles on his birthday cake - all 90 of them.

Nicknamed the “Black Horse of Mount Forrest," Mr. Stevenson was champion runner of the world ‘WHY hick in 1878. He says he still has “lots of wind."

He gives his recipe for longevity In one word »- activity.

“some pcoplc are so lazy they won't even run for a street car.’ he said.

He claims tvalking is wonderful (or the constitution and he ought to know. At 00 he is still hale and hearty, stands six feet two inches and is as straight as a young man. He has been said to walk a mile a tiny.

"Shoot ~- that's nothing," said Mr. Stevenson. shaking his thick, White hair emphatically. "I walk two to five miles every day."

O1’ course. lit- has heredity on his side. Hi5 father lived to be 10f, his mothcr to 97. His sister was 92 whcn she died. A temper- ate man, Mr. Stevenson plans to beat his father's record. He was born in Mount Forest, Ont., and came to wilitllllhg in 1882.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16 - (i — Detroit Red Wings today exploded two National Hockey League deals with an eye to capturing the Stan- ley Cup for the coming ice cam- paign.

The Wings announced a six- playcr swap with Boston Bruins in which all-star defenceman Bill Quackenbush went to Boston. Later New York Rangers said they had purchased Norman (Bud) POiie, hlghSCOI1Ilg right wing, from the

Wings. The mass trade sent Quacken- bush. mainstay of the Detroit

rearguard. and forward Pete Hor- eck to Boston. The Wings strength- ened their forward line by acquir- ing from the Bruins stalwart wingers Pete Babrindo and Jimmy Peters and also two defcncemen. Clare Martin and Lloyd Durham.

The addition of Babando and Peters will help the front line con- siderably for Detroit, who last season topped the N.I-I.L. during the regular schedule, then dropped the Stanley Cup play-offs to Tor- unto Maple Leafs. Jack Adams. Red Wing manager, said he was willing to sacrifice dependable and popular Quackenbush in exchange for forward strength.

“We want the Stanley Cup," he said today. “We have defencemen. We don't have forwards. You can be sure I hate to lose Quacken- bush.

“But I have watched Peters and Babando since their junior hockey days and they are two playeps 1 always have felt would be valu- able assets to the Wings."

Beat, Defenceman

Quackenbush is considered the best all-around defenceman in the game today. Yet the 27-year-old star last year won the Lady Byng Trophy. awarded to “the most gemicmanly player," for going the entire season without a penalty-a rare feat among defencemen.

Quackenbush was a unanimous choice for the All-Star team last season. He has spent his entire previous N.H.L. career since 1942 with Detroit.

Left wing Babando, 24, and right wing Peters, 26, are both rough, accurate forwards. Last. year Babando notched 33 points on 19 goals and 14 assists and Peters ta‘.- lied for 31 with 16 goals and 15 assists.

Babando came up to the Bruins in 1947 and played the full (SO-game schedule as forward. Peters was sent to Boston by Montreal Can- adiens during the 1947-48 season.

The Rangers acquired Poiie in a. straight cash deal but the amount paid was not disclosed.

A native of Fort William, Ont., Poile was a member of the All-Star team for 1947-48 and was named by the Rangers to their “All-op- ponent" team the some year.

Poile should be a valuable addit- ion to the Ranger squad which, though it played with revived vigor last season, finished a dismal last. in the league standings.

VICTORIA, 3.0., Aug. 16 (OP) - Owner Lester Patrick of the Victoria Cougars Hockey Club today announced the purchase of three Eastern Canadian players for his team. They are defence- man Flori Geogan, 21, of Fort William, who played last yea: in the Quebec Senior League; right winger Roy MacKay. 24, of South Porcupine, Ont., and defencemarn Donald (Bud) James, of Kirkland Lake, Ont.

AUGUST 17, 1949

Now well on its way to the ex-

pected mrecord-brcaking propor- tions that have been expected. the Old Home \‘i't~ck racing pro- grnm is living up to all advance notices and despite the fact that some pro-race favorites were said to lay over the field such “as far

from the case yesterday, ' - e e .

Oue of‘ the four classes raced two of them turned into big up- sets and Brewer Cullen's victory, though not on sit-ch a large scale. could well be placed in the same category. And so once again it shows the uncertainty that hovers over the racing game, one of thc things that ntakes it. so crowd zip- pooling.

O O O O

Yesterday's racing left little to

be desired. True the finishes were

not as close as some that have hcen witnessed here heretofore hut there was enough racing battles going on over different

parts of the stretch in satisfy the most hungry racing fans. O O O O

Today seven classes will be rac- ed and before winners are derided the now aroused racing fans should witness one of the most- thrill packed days in the history of the harness racing game hero. The classes aren't the fastest in the world by any means but ntorc than making up tor that will he

the favorites had n tastt- of what lays in store for them the rest of the week and they will have to be at the top of their form if they are to withstand the undoubted strong challenges that will he flung their \v.'i_v, e e o ‘This column notes that in ad- dition io the Maritime Invitation Track and Field Moot which will be held hcrc on September 5th under the auspices of the De- partment of Physical Fitness, that yet another track and field day is also being planned for Labor Day by the Kensington Co_mmun- ity Athletic Club at their new athletic grounds which was offic- ially opcned recently. O O O

'l‘hougii at llfSi. glance it would seem that. one would tend to con- flict with the other, on further consideration it is very unlikely that this will be the case, as the ‘Maritime meet will be made up mainly of teams from leading lvIai-itime athletic clubs that have been competing against one an- other all season, wniie on the 0th- cr hand the licnsington events will be of a more or less individ- uai competition which will be participated in by those from the surrounding rural districts.

- O e

While on the subject of athlet- ics, it. is encouraging to see such districts as Kensington showing a progressive interest in track and field development by putting on a field day there which is bound to create a greater interest in that line throughout the rural areas. and at the same time uncover many potential athletes that may at a later date be the stars of track and field teams in Maritime

competition. O

As has been in the past as well as the present, many of our lead- ing Island athletes have been the products of the rural areal, and with the new dev iopment of sporting centres such as the one that has been opened by com- munity eflort at Kensington, it is hoped that many more will be forthcoming in the future.

With Mainland Entries In Four Action-filled Classes

Gradually reaching the peak expected of it, and with favorites starting to fail before the onslaught of labor-favored horsel, the open- ing afternoon's card of the 01d Home Week racing program yesterday provided upwards of 5000 fans with an action packed afternoon OI trotting and pacing duels, duels that saw upsets occur in two oi’ the tour classes and duels that saw others in the small but classy fields come through with heat victories to add to the uncertainty that hov-

That grand old veteran Wait N’Sec, handled magnificently by his trainer Len 0‘iileara, came through as was expected in the 2.24 Trot. but it was a different story in the pther events. Brewer's Gallon, show- ing worlds of trotting ability in the first two miles, bent out the slight- ly favored Neil Kalmuck, while in the two pacing events Sandy D. came through to win out over the favored Judd. while Romeo, with “Jiggyw Arbing holding the key. pulled the biggest upset o! the alter- noon as he paced iu a convincing straight heat victory in the final event on the card, the only class to be decided in that manner.

There have been more pulsat- ing finishes witnessed before but yesterday's racing, with the fields battling it out over every inch of the fast piece of racing clay, was satisfying and exciting in every way Sometimes heat winners had comfortable margins to spare but in bchind them there were bat.- tles to the wire that were only decided after the judges had a look at photo finish shots.

And the meeting was not with- out its great moments. In the racing 0nd it was Brewer's Gal- lon‘s mile in 2.101-5 in winning the first heat of the 2.18 Trot. while among the fans the big thrill came when a lonc daily double better was returned the record-breaking total of $370.60 for a two dollar ticket. That pay- nfi‘ came on the combination of Gcrtic Reamore and Brctvcrs Gal- lon and is believed to be a record locally.

Driver Suspended

And as an example of the strict manner in which the officials, heatied by presiding judge Dr. F. C. Dougan, are conducting the meeting. it was announced yester- day that driver Earl Semple had been suspended for two-days for drawing his horse Tim O‘Shanko without permission of the judges. Sample will be given a hearing bcforc the judges at a meeting to be held Thursday morning at 11

I ociock.

‘Today the big meet has its big- gest program on record scheduled when four classes will be held in the afternoon and three more in the evening. All seven races, ac- cording to opinions expressed by vdteran horse-followers, will pro- vide one of the most spectacular Wednesday afternoon's meetings held in the history of the Associ- ation and thrills are expected to come at a fast rate before the ult- imate winners are decided.

Full vaudeville programs were witnessed by the enthusiastic crowd yesterday who were quick to place their stamp of approval on the performers, and this com- bining with the excellent manner in which the racing officials car- ried out their duties, made the afternoon one of the most color- ful on record.

In chalking up hi: convincing victory and proving he is ready for a crack at. the free for ell trotting event the latter pert of the week, Wait N'See won with plenty to spare in the firlt two heats of the 2.24 Trot. In the first mile he waited until the field led by Speedwell Guy was past the quarter pole; then he came fast on the outside all the way to the three quarterl polo. From there he went to the front to" stay, with Gertie Reamore hold- ing the second slot and Jennie Kalmuck moving up to third in the dash for the wire over Speed- well Guy, with San Ton, acting badly. fifth.

Again Wait N'See waited until the latter stages of the second mile before making hil move; then he mowed them down for
