We had A nice letter from Roger Duncan recently. Hewvu enjoy- ing himself at St. Petersburg, Flo- rida, where he goes for several weeks every winter. Mr. Duncan was, as so many of our readers will iemember, for years secretary- treasurer of the National Trotting Association and later Executive Vice-President of the United States Trotting Association. which was formed in 1938, absorbing two other associations as well as the Na- tional. Mr. Duncan paid two visits to the Maritimes, one to Charlottetowii and one to Truro and made many friends and was given a great welcome, which he still remembers. He joined the Na- tional Trotting Association as a very young man in 1889 or 1890. The secretary-treasurer was then the celebrated W. H. Gocher, who probably knew more about the formulation of rules and regula- tions for the harness horse sport than any man that ever lived, and from him Mr. Duncan absorbed a great deal of knowledge and also the ability to get along with peo- pie and have matters run smooth? lv. It was a great disappointment when he, through ill health, had to give up his position with the Ll.S.T.A. Hero is his letter . . . "Thanks so much for your friendly letter of January 22nd, also a. copy of the Guardian giving a very com- plete review of the past season. I Spent. a most enjoyable evening reading it. I am saving it and will again read it when I return home. I was glad indeed to see the suc- eras of the many drivers such as Earle Semple, Worrell L,ewi.s Ronnie MacDonald, Johnny Con- roy. -1:-iyton MacLeod and many nlht" that I can remember so well. Joe O'Brien and Earle Avery are doing exceptionally well in the bigger tracks in the U.S. 'O'B1'ien, of course has been leading driver and Earle Avery is making a great name for himself. Rannie Mac- Donald. Earle Semple and Worrell Lewis did well on their trip to the U.S.A. last year. "One of the nicest trotting meet- ings that I know of is Saratoga Springs. There one can meet a lot of owners and trainers that really love a trotter and it has that familiar home-like air that re- minds us somewhat of the old- iime fairs. I was very surprised to read that Willard Kelly has re- tired. That must have been a shock to a great many. Sad as al- ways to read of the passing of so many who have been connected with the sport. I suppose that is the poialty I have to pay for liv- in: so long. I just sit. around in the sun here and walk around the hlock two or three times a day. We do have lots of sunshine and that is lovely. Please give my kind- cst, regards to my many friends in the Marltimes and particularly to Mr. 1". C. Mccurdy of Truro."

This million dollar plant is nearing completion now It is a three-quarter mile layout, as we have mentioned before, and will be almost palatial in its ap- pointments. Ha.'i'rY'8 Stable will consist of Victorious Guy 2.02, a seven-year-old pacing gelding bi' Guy 2.04:4. He took a mark over the Ionia, Michigan, half-mile track last season of 2.0453 and during 1952 made 43 starts. being first 24 times, ten times .second and once third with earnings of 36,003. His total earnings to date are 318,699 and he is eligible to the 2.12 pace. The fact that he won ire-for-all shows that he is an exceptional pacer and is cap- able of meeting the fastest of the fast brigade. Harry paid 35,100 for him and he was certainly a bargain at that figure. The only trotter in his stable is star as ll three-year-old over the Ohio tracks last season, taking a record oi 2.09 over a half-mile oval She started 27 times, was seven times first, seven times second and four times third. They have some real trotters and pacers in Ohio and the fact that Peggy could per- form so well among them shows that she was a worthwhile buy In her four-year-old form she should be able to pull in a good many dollars for the Hirsch stable at Vernon Downs. Her sire is Will Glow 2051-2 and her dam is June Lee, dam of two in 2.10. Many think, and the writer is one of them, that Harry got another of the great bargains of the sale when he bought her for 32,500. As a matter of fact when she was ad- vertised before leaving Ohio the price asked was 34,500. Last year's star free-for-aller of the stable was Super Hal 2.01'4,'a. now an eight-year-old, by Hal Dale. He started 19 times, was six times first, three times second and five times third with win- nings of 35.317 in races where the purses were only merely good Super Hal pulled off surprise wins at Saratoga and he is a really great pacer that can start in the best compny. We don't know what others Harry is sending away with the above but we can be sure that they will be good enough to win their share of the money or they would be left at home. Our best wishes for success go with him and we hope to keep our readers in touch with his racing fortunes throughout the season.- Aubroy, in another part of his column. mentions the fact. that since the 1-lorsemen's Banquet a lot of other people are talking horse and have lines out to buy good trotters and pacers. It is this sort of enthusiasm---priorv to race time that makes for real ex- citement and success and we wish our Cape Breton friends a. lot of it because they have shown us the way by venturing afield and bring- ing home good racing material for the fast classes. Our thanks to the publishers of The Maritime Horseman, New Glasgow, N.S., for a copy of their 1953 number with annual review of Maritime racing in 1952. It is a well printed. interesting publica- tion who will bring back to mem- ory the leading events of a great season with the names, records and performances of all the lead- ing horses and drivers in the Maritimes depicted. We welcome to this column H E. Hatch, President of the Cana- dian Trotting Association, with a very interesting letter . . . ”Dear Colonel: I don't know that it is strange, but about all we see of the old timers is the funeral no- lice.

I PAGE SIX Defenseman Larry Travis left here yesterday by plane to join the Islanders for tcnght's game in Glace Bay. This means that Chamberlain will likely move Lyle Wiseman back up to the forwaid line unless the Islanders coach decides to sit out one of his regular defensemcn. 1-lowever it is qiiiie likely that it will be 'a forward who will watch the contest. Chuck Holdaway sat out the first two games in Char- lottetown but in Thursday night's game at the Bay he appeared to be going well and may have earned himself a regular starting position for the series. 0 O 0 We wouldn'H be too surprised if Chamberlain tsliified Grosse into a centre ice position. Grosse played centre as well as left wing with Shawinigan Falls. During his few outings here he showed plenty of ability to handle the puck and he looked as though he would make an outstanding centreman. He: has loads of speed and with two fast wingmen would probably give the Islanders a line that would show some of the concentrated punch that is necessary for a club 'to win games, something which the Is- landers haven't had in this series. . . . Defenseman Eddy Keys and for- ward willie Dunn, who played with the Maritime .lunior Champion North Sydney Franklins through- out the season, returned home on Thursday afternoon. The North Sydney players were given a few days rest to recuperate from their gruelling series with the Halifax Junior Saints and to prepare for their coming series with the Qt- tawa District Champions. This ser- ies opens next. Tuesday night in North Sydney and when the Franklins go on the ice they will likely be re-lnforced by three play- ers of the l-lalifax saints. The three will probably be goalie Thane .Doyle, forward Forbes Kennedy and defenceman Jim Warner. I O 0 Young Kays had loads of praise for his coach Mickey Roach. It was only natural that he should for Roach apparently taught Keys a lot of tricks of the trade. Kays was a raw hockey product when he first joined the Pi-anklins and had a battle during the first few weeks to hold a place on the team. However, as the season wore along he won a regular berth and ac- cording to all reports turned in some fine hockey during the play- offs. In the series against Halifax he scored three goals which is pretty good going for a defense- man. A rugged kid with loads of determination and fight he thrived on the rough .Cape Breton hockey. . The Halifax Atlantics got back in stride in the second period of last night's game against Sydney and from here in should have things pretty much ther own way. The Millionaires hit their top form on W951"?-Sd8.V night and were going well in the first period of 15,; mziits game but the second period Halifax iissault must have knocked the props from under the Mills. The teams return to Halifax 'to- night where the Atlantics should win without too much trouble. The Millionaires may win one more game at home but the Atlantics should wind up the series in seven at the most.

Billy Watson and Bob Bowness shot 9. pair of goals each as At- iantics took over convincingly af- ter the neck-and-neck first period. The Millionaires registered their only tallies in the first period while Atlantics were outnumbered. Frank Bergeron was penalized for high sticking with the game 34 seconds old and George Robertson beat Roy McMeekin a minute later. Bergeron returned to the box after Watson and Bowness scored and Dunc McIntyre tied it up from almost within the crease. .8111 Ford put Halifax in front to stay at the 16-minute mark. Hugh Campbell scored for the Atlantlcs in the second and Billy Gould and Kenny Laufman wrap- ped it up in the iinai frame. Penalties Plentlful Penalties were plentiful with 10 of the 18 going to the Atiantics. Bergeron drew his third of the night in a sticking duel with Bill McDonsgh and emerged with a five-stitch gash on the head. Mc- Donagii was waved of! for the game's only major. The Atiantics opened a furious assault in the second period and tabbed Nick Pidsodny for 18 of his 28 stops. The Millionaires reached McMeekin only twice and he turned the shots aside easily. Halifax coach Dugger McNeil was knocked cold by a high shot from Ronnie Rowe in the third period but left the ice under his own power.

YEO THEATRE MONTAGUE - MON. 1 Garth-Pi In ri '-Comedybrama on .. sso&-..."y3u mom wm - TUES. - 28rd - 24th no noon air The canon 4 mm! : Reason MARCH 21, 1953 you u1ER5' cQRNE” This week I received a couple of clippings from the Amherst Daily News from Ed Chandler, an old sc.:oolmate of mine now residing in Amherst. The news clippings have to do with a pair of Great Horned Owls that have nested in a tree on the main street of the town Victoria Street East. Tliis is certainly a departure from the horned owl's usual habits and in a sense bids fair to make wild- life history. In any event the in- cident has caused quite a furore in Amherst news circles. One of the news items was writ.- ten by Ruble W. Tufts. Woifvllle, N. S. The other was a warning from the Amherst Fish and Game Asociation not to molest the birds and informing the citizens that signs will be placed shortly giving some information in regard to them and also the protection pro- vided by the law. In his writeup Mr. Tufts described the "Great Horned" as of the night variety sleeping away the day and not stirring out "until the shadows of twilight fall across the landscape." "Fortunately" writes Mr. Tuffs, "by that time poultry will be under cover and pheasants and other game birds will be asleep. Their main fare will, be rats. both house and musk, and they will bring in the odd rabibit if they can find one ...." 000 Mr. Tufts and I are old acquain- tances. dating back to 1927 or 28. Incidentally I worked under him from 1929 to 1932 while he was Chief Federal Migratory Bird 01- ficer for me Maritlrnei Provinces. In 1932 the enforcement of the Migratory Birds Act in the Mari- times was taken over by the R. C. M. Police and I was absorbed into this Force. Robie and I never agreed on the status of the horned owl. He stoutly maintained this owl should be rewarded for its services to the farmer in catching rats and mice. He didnit mention in what way but I suppose deck- ing him out in 9. diamond necklace. bracelets and ear rings. My con- tention was that the only good horned owl was one that had been liberally seasoned with chilled sixes. I smiled to myself when I read lils comments in the Amherst paper and thought thusly: ”R. W. hasn't changed a bit over the years....he still champions old "hootle" and as usual tells only one side of the story the pleasant sounding side". Mr. Tufts also mentioned that crows would be in danger if there was a roost in the area. This is quite true. Old "hootie" can pick a crow out of a tree on I. pitch black night, even if "Jim" Crow is as black as he is painted, and can also, in the night hours, pick a pheasant or ruffed grouse off a limb or a Hungarian partridge from the ground with equal ease. All the more so if they are 0.- sleep. too A few years ago a farmer of my acquaintance had some phea- sants that roosted at night in a. small clump of huavy hemlock trees. I dropped in for a chat on an afternoon in late November. The farmer remarked "My phea- sants were ln trouble a few nights By '1'!!! CANADIAN PI!!! "The long National 1-Iocley Lm gue playoff race winds up t week-end but than are enolllh ill. ands and buts attached to the last. two playoff spot: tod-I! to give most fans the statistical wlllles. It's been one of the oddest down- to-the-wire dashes to hit the les- gue in years. After 08 games of the 70-game schedule. only the two top places have been settled. Detroit Red Wings won the lea- gue title and first place a week ago and Montreal Canadians took second place easily. The other two playoff berths are a toss-up be- tween Boston Bruins, Chicago Black Hawks and Toronto Maple Leafs. Ranger: Out New York's last-tslace Rangers are out in the cold, but they can throw a monkey-wrench into the works before calling it quits. This is how Boston, Chicago and Toronto stand with two games left to play: - Boston 40 188 67 Chicago 62 171 85 Toronto 48 166 63 Here are the games left: Saturday: Boston at Montreal, New York at Toronto, Detroit at Chicago. Sunday: Montreal at Detroit, Toronto at Boston, Chicago at New York. The race tightened up this week when the Leafs, who were all but written off as serous cont ” rs, edged the tiring B 1-Iowks 4-3 and then walloped the tough Cana- diens 4-1 in successive nights. Those victories brought them to within two points of the Hawks. what Can Happen Now, this is what could happen: If the Bruins win or tie one of their remaining games, the Bruins are in-no matter what Leafs and Chicago do. If the Leafs win two, the Hawks win one and lose one and the Bruins drop two, there would be a three-way tie for third place. In such ii. case, the team with the most wins takes third place. However, in this case Tomato and Boston would each have 27 victories and Chicago would be eliminated with only 26. Under the elimination rules, third place would then go to the team having scored the most goals over the season and the other team would slip into fourth spot. If the Leafs win two and Boston and Chicago both lose two, the Leafs will tie Boston for third place, with 67 points and the same number of victories. The team that scored the most goals would finish third and the other team would be fourth. The Hawks would be out. If the Hawks win one and tie one, and Bruins have a win or a tie. it is all over for the Leafs. If the Leafs lose both games, it's I. setup for Boston and Chicago. Prince Street Giris Shut Out Georgetown 2-ii Prince Street School girls from Charlottetown shut out the Georgetown .School girls 2-0 at Georgetown last night in the first game of a two-game total goal hockey series.
