William Sharon. the nun um- whom the celebrated trotter Bin Sharon. 2.04 1-4 was named, is now “V1118 in Peierborough. Ontario. He has written a letter to the Can. adian sportsman in reference to an item that appeared in these columns and was afterwards reprinted in the Sportsman. Here is what 13111 has to say: "1 saw an item in the Sportsman about Bill Sharon 2.04 1-4 and Mr. Peter Carroll. I knew Mr. Carroll very well as I lived in the Maritinies for twenty years. I b0U8ht Bill sharen’s dam Narroway W. for a. friend of mine at Fred- ¢l'l0lr°ll. N’. B. I raced her two years and won many races with her.

she went lame and I got; Mr, Boyle to breed her to Captain Aub- rey. Bill Sharon was the colt she had. I broke him when he was ten months old and drove him 3 month, He trotted an eighth to a bike in ‘.16 SOCODCN and could sllow fast as a two year o‘.d. I did not race him I15 it till?!‘ year old but got him ready and staked him as a four year old. I won five races with him, gave him 9. mark of 2.10 and never lost a heat .

Next spring I sold hiiu to a man by the name of Alchorn for $2,500. and he placed him in the hands or Peter Carroll who raced him as a five year old, when he won twelve races. Tommy Murphy bought him the next wirier for $25,000. He was never cross with me, hilt I under- stand showed cmss with M1‘. Car- roll. I think I could have driven him in 2.10 as a four year old."

8. A. Wathan, whose son Wclidall was one of the leading drivers in the U. S. A. in 1935, and George Reed of Port Fairfiald. Maine. have leased the pacing stallion Berry the Great 2.00 \1-4 and will use him for breeding purposes in their sec-‘, tion of the Pine Tree State. Berry,’ the Great is the fastest living son‘ of Peter the Great 2.01 1-4.

Vic Fleming, Canadian born and raised but American doimciled, has: driven several pacers in two min- uies or better including Grattanl Bars 1.59 1-2. Louis Grattan 2.00:‘, but the greatest pacer of them all in his opinion is Calumet Evelyn;

a 1-4 (p) 2.00 (t). Vic says: "I1 h ve had a good many horses in my time, some smart and some dead heads. but only one like Cal- mut Evelyn. What you lay out for her to do she does with all the grace and ease in the world. I say again that there is only one Calu- met Evelyn and never another like her!"

Fred Thrower of Kerwood. on- tarlo, owner of Grattan Bars 1.69 1-2, received a letter recently from Frank Harvie of Calgary, Alberta, (the man who raised and sold Win- nipeg 1.59 1-2 for $25,000.) stating that he has four Grattlm Bars colts from his good brood mare Merry Mitzie. “They are all train- ing well and are as good gaited and good looking coils as I have ever seen at their age." who knows but what ‘Mr. I-llarvie may have an- other $25,000 pacer in that lot.

Edwin . Keller, who has a. flair for statistics. writing in a turf Jour- nal recently gives some interesting facts which he has discovered by looking through race statistics. starting with Conner 2.04 1-4, who cleaned up most. of the ship- wheelers in his day and genera- tion of thirty-six summers ago. and continuing down to Calumet Ev- elyn 1.59 1-4. star of 1985. one can pick out no less than eleven two minute performers with the cane- dian sensation of a few years back,

of the entire crop in winnings.

"Grattan Bars 1.59 1-2. the Can- adian whirlwind, swept through his engagements in 1920 undefeated, rolling up winnings of $49,915.. which puts him far out in front in the matter of winnings in a single season. Bert Abbe 1.59 1-4 is his nearest rival with $29,812.. gathered in mmtly from eastern half-mile ovals during 1921, when the black stallion swept everything before him and established num- erous track records during the course of that campaign."

Twenty years ago Nat Ray was preparing his stable at Toronto and

by San I-*1 ncisoo was considered one of his outstanding prospects. The winter he had» lowered the world's trotting record on ice to 2.1’! 1-4 whereic, remained until January 14th. 1920. when it was re- duced to 2.15 1-2 by The Yank. owned by the Indxlnnon stab_le_s_.

NEW YORK. April 2-i——'1'he tre- nicndous cloutlng and sparkling fielding of Detroit Tigers was so outstanding today in the world champions’ 9-3 defeat, of ihe Browns at St Louis that Beau Be!l‘s ninth inning home run for the home team i-ccelrcd scant notice.

In the fourth came the season’: first triple plal'—a. rarity even in the majors. Tommy Bridges was weakening, two Browns were on base and none out. Jim Bottomley smashed out a line drive that look- ed good for a hit. Charley Geh- riiiger dragged it down, tossed to Bill Rcgell to double Sammy West off sccond and Rogell whipped the ba‘l swiftly to first, before Julius Sclters could get back. This heart- ened Bridge anti he was able to complete the game.

Detroit also executed three double plays.

crack University of ‘lens quartet slgnallzed its debut In the Penn Relay Carnival here today with a record-smashing triumph that put one of the outstanding United states Olympic hopes, Eulace Pea- cock of Temple, on the casualty list again. ‘While challenging the Texas an- chor runner, Harvey Wallcnder, in the stretch of the 440-yard inter- collegiate relay championship race, Peacock suddenly pulled up lame, limped across the finish line In second place, 10 yards behind, and then was taken to a hospital.
