4... Islanders x aka One-Gamedlead In Seri The didiculty all tracks are find- ing now is to get enough trotters to balance the pacing classes in their programs. The trotters are popular with the public and al- ways have been. but it is so much vasier for a trainer to put a set of hnpples on a horse and change him to the pace rather than spend A lot of tune and perhaps get no- where trying to make the colt or aged horse into a tiotter. In this province quite a number of trot- inrs have shown up in the past couple of years and now another tor the medium slow classes has :n-rived. The ten-year-old brown mare Forever Yours Guy 2.12, by llulu Guy, that Myron MacArthur brought here from the U. S. last tail is in the hands of that very izipable horseman Blair Andrew, Ur:-.v Glasgow, and is being coiidit- zniictl for the coming season's ev- r-iils. Forever Yours Guy is a iniglity attractive trotter that did llO' race last season but in 1950 had a good campaign, winning up- ual'ds of 32000. She took her re- :'nl'd on - i-cry cold night. Novem- her 10, 1950, at Yonkers Raceway. Y. The purse was 51,000 and she met and defeated seven other good trotters in 2.12, an excellent performance for theconditions. We consider that Blair did a wonder- ful job with You'll See, giving her a recorci of 2.17 2.5 and winning four dashes in good company, and me four-year-old Mac's Beat was given a record of 2.19. llmiards of 100 horses have changed hands at Dufierin race track, Toronto, since last Novem- brr and we notice where Jackie Quinn of this city bought Monarch from R. J. Dussault of Quebec, and then sold him two months later to C. K. Buell. Jackie's name ap- pears in the summaries either as a winner of firsts or places quite frequently. Aubrey Keizer in his sport: col- umn in the Sydney Post-Record writes that the Turf Club were not long getting inquiries after they released their 'program for 1953. Heber Sweeney, the prominent Bridgewater, N. S. horseman. ad- vised Jimmie Ferguson that he was interested in the early closing events and also stall reservations and that he might. bring his ml)- class trotter Clean Up to the Sport; Centre during the season, along with a good pacer. Clean Up is an eiglit-war-old znidirig by the good trotting sire Follow Up, He. made 28 starts last season. was four times first, six times second and six tim s third with winnings of 53.498. is total winnings are 39,066 and he is elig- ible to the 2.16 class. He raced all season against good trotters, is a large, steady-goiiig horse, good railed and good mannered and should be quite a factor over Mar- itime tracks this season. The pac- .-tr is Shelby Vic, a four-year-old oy Victorious Hal, that took a re- nord of 2.10 315 last season as a .hree-year-old and is eligible to be 2.24 pace. He has an awful lot 1! lick and has been timed quart- are in 20 U5 seconds. His sirc, Victorious Hal 2, 2.0354. is also the sire of Victorious Guy 2.02. that Harry Hirsch bought for 55.100 and will pit against the fast brigade at Vernon Downs, N. Y. Victorious Hal was sired by Hal Dale 2.0253, the super sire at Two Galts Farm, Indianapolis, Indiana, and he is nlso the sire of Good Time 1.57 2&5, bigigest money win- ning pacer of all time. Victorious Hal's dam was Nell Cochato by Walter Oochato 2.0212. and inter- esting in our people here is the fact that Neil Cochatodaie 2.1552, that Wilard Kelly brought here some years ago and is the dam of Neil Kalmuek 2.10, is I! full sister to Victorious Hal 2, 2.03112, sire of Shelby Vic and Victorious Guy.

A: Mcclamrock. Frank- furt, Indiana. It is a long distance from that far mldwest country to Prince Edward Island, but if Nell Oochatodale never had another performer she certainly produced a real one in that iron-sided, faithful, good manneied trotting mare Nell Kalmuck. Four others of her progeny are registered, all by Calumet Budlong, two of them owned by Horace B. Willis King- ston, and two owned by John Ster- ling Willis, North River. The former owner of the Val Stables, John D. Forbes of Freder- icton, N.B., has also been in touch with the Turf Club. Sydney, and has intimated that he may bring his free-for-ailer Shamrock Thoughts 3, 2.04, to Cape Breton during the summer and start him against his former free-for-aller Pat D. 206 M5. Shamrock Thoughts is an eight-year-old bay stallion by the midwest sire Wilmington 4, 1.59'.l, that is the sire of such great pacers as Wilmington Star 3, 1.59, Friskaway 3, 1.59 U5, and five others with records better than 2.05. Shamrock Thoughts" dam is Sweet Thoughts 2.1152, the dam of Deep Thoughts 200, True Thoughts 3, 2.07, Pure Thoughts 2.073; and several others. His breedingvls truly superb. He is a splendid imi-ivi'dual and has an awful lot of whiz. His all time winnings are 523.643 but with al- lowances he is eligible to 3. 2.14 pace. Wintering at his home in Ken- sington is Earle Semple with the 11-year-old trotter Mary Merk 2.08 225. that was campaigned on the trot last season. Mary showed a mile in 2.10 over the Charlotte- town track prior to leaving for the U.s. A. She also has a record as I seven-year-old of 2.08 2l5X on the pace. The four-year-old trot- ter Dean Gallon, that took a. re- cord last season as a. three-year- old of 2.11 and is said to have been 9. mile in 2.03 in a workout. He made 13 starts and won ten of them, three in Charlottetown and the rest in the State of Maine. His total winnings for the season were H.656 and he is eligible to the 2.24 trot with allowances. In addition to these two Earle has four other horses that he is train- ing so will have I formidable stable for the early meetings here gaiid afterwards he will likely move to the State of Maiiie. Caipiaiii Sandy, an gelding paced a mile on March 2nd at Pertii, Australia, in 1.59, and two nights later stepped the half- mile oval at Bunbury, Australia, in l.57'.2. This would be a new world's record but for the fact that the United States Trotting Associ- ation does not recognize records made behind a windshield. Harnem horsemen can scarcely realize the fast times recorded at the newest pari-mutuel night har- nears oval which was completed in Florida recently, Ponce de Leon Raceway. The track and its con- struction crew built the handsome plant in 45 days. The grand stand is simply wonderful and will sent 5,000 speotatom and a large part of it is glass enclosed. The track is fast and the footing almost per- fect. It was thrown open to every- one for a get-acquainted week which featured free grand stand admission and thousands came from the various resorts in Florida to enjoy the racing and the ac- commodations. Many had nevei seen ii. harness race before but they had bet on the parl-mutuels and that, of course, helped the track out. There are more than 250 horses sia-bled on the grounds so there is no shortage of horses. The fastest mile paced there was by Ford Mofovns lsi, owned by S. M. Corn- etti of Washington, Penn., time, 2.07 125, which is the fastest mile trotted or paced in 1953. The fast- est mile trotted was by Johnny M., owned by M. H. Devlin, Lake Pla- cid, N.Y.,-2.09. A Canadian driver at the end of the first full week of racing, Floyd Milton, was out in front. with six wins, two seconds and four thirds. He had brought his stable 2.500 miles from Duffer- in track, Toronto. Eddie Cobb was next with four wins, three seconds and four thirds. Two prominent German trotting horsemen are expected in Lexing- ton this week. They hope to buy some trottens to bring back to that country. One is Eric Specman, I trainer, driver and owner who was the leading driver of stake winners in 1952. He is also a very successful breeder and bred seven r in winners in Germany last season. He is the owner of Dash, a. son of Walter Dear 3, 2.02434, that was sold to Germany some yeau ago by W. H.

H. nuimin. Secy. 1:. run: Acorn, Bu-ci Socy. The week April 5-11 has been set aside this year as National Wildlife Week in memory of the late Jack Miner whose work as a conservationist, lover of wildlife and the great outdoors in general has left its mark on 'i.ihe North Arnerican Contiriemt and other countries beyond the seas. Jack Miner was a practical man, a man 'who leamed about Nature and her children in the school of experience. and frequently clashed with theoretical exponents of the view- point that Nature be left alone to adjust her own balance and such measures as predator cointrol, bounties, etc should not be institut- ed. The bitter truth is, as Jack Miner discovered long years ago. that man himself was reponsible for upsetting this balitnce and the only way in which Nature herself can re-establish it is for man to cease his predatory habits and dis- continue hunting for sport, The effect of natural predwtors, hawks, owls, wolves, Wildcats and otihers of their kind upon ducks, geese, part- ridge, rabbits, furbearers, trout, etc could not be noticed until man, with the latest in destructive wea- pons joined forces wirh nabural predators. I O 0 Jack Miner in his wisdom did not advocate such a drastic step -as cessation of the practice of hunt- ing for sport. Man was given dominion over the denizens of land. sea. and air only his rule must be on a sound, practical basis. Wolves are the naltural enemy most feared by the deer family. When man hunted deer and left the wolves to multiply in peace it was a foregone conclusion that the deer would eventually lose out. For this reason he was a. strong advooalte for I heavy bounty on wolves to leach the pressure on deer from this source. He also established sanctuaries. and encouraged others to do the same, where wildlife, particularly waterfowl and song birds could rear their young in peace and safety. Here again his pradtical view- poiin came sharply into focus. He believed no useful purpose was obtained by encouraging birds and other forms of beneficial wildlife to frequent any glveri spot in large numbers and then allow all forms of predators, from the weasel to the grealt horned owl, to move In and have a free lunch on birds that have been lulled into it false sense of security by man's own actions. Far better to leave con- ditions as they were unless some action was taken to weed out pm. dators, No truer words were ever penned then those found in The Good Book: "Where the carcass is there will the eagles be gathered 1,0. getherr." . . .

Islanders Find Range In Third Period; Defeat Glace Bay Miners 4-1 The Charlottetown Islanders broke out In I. long suppressed scoring spree during the third per- iod last night to defeat the Glace Bay Miners 4-1 and come within one some of winning the most closely contested and bitterly fought semi-innal series ever play- ed in the Mufti-mes. The scoring eye or the Islanders, long dulled .by the work of the Miners defences. d need in a brilliant gleam for the final twenty minutes, much to the delight of the more than 3,000 fans who januned the Charlottetown rvlulus to see the all-important game. The victory gave the Islanders it one saline lead for the third time in this series. They now lead 4-3 and can wrap it up with a win in Glace Bay tonight. Account For Scoring Young Chuck I-loldaway, playing his finest game as an Islander, and Big Bob Gray of the bullet slap shot accounted for all the Is- landers' scoring with each player firing two clean-out goals. Slick Kenny Watson, the fellow with the big hockey brain. scored the only Glace Bay goal, and it came during the first per- iod. The goal was the first for Watson during the series. But early In the third period the goal-hungry Islanders erupted. Gray and I-Ioldaway ripped home back to back goals within a min- ute to put the Islanders two :- head. From then on the Islanders skated and -played like champions and shortly after the 15-minute mark Gray put the game out of the Miners' reach by scoring I beautiful goal. The Islanders forced the play throughout most of the game. They started fast and enjoyed a. wide edge during the first session al- though outscored 1-0. In the second period the Min- ers played it defensively and let the Islanders carry the attack. The Miners tried their best to get back in the game after the Is- landers struck early in the third but the locals never released the pressure. The shots on goal give a. very good indication of tile play. The Islanders tossed 44 shots at Look- hart while the Miners were test- ing Al Miliar on 22 occasions. The most danger s Glace Bay assaults came in th third period. Bob Cooper raced n on Millar but was turned back and on the same play Millar came up with another sharp stop off the ever- dangercus Bill Mocracken. i 'I'he.Miners flashed a. den- uua attad: while Ronnie Hurst was sitting out a. boarding penalty in the final period. Had they been able to connect they might have been able to get back in the game but great defensive work by Gas- tavescn, Brklacich, Clements and Wiseman kept them off the score sheet. On top of that the Islanders had a bit of luck riding their way. Dur- ing one of the attacks Bdb Verrier struck the goal post with a hard shot but the puck bounced to- wards the corner of the rink. The rest of the time it was the Islanders skating and passing in their sharpest form. Th. two quick goals by the Islanders gave the Is- landers added confidence and a I littlc' Defense Siar if. Gus Gustavecon, Bic (shun), hard hitting defense star for in Islanders who has been an out- standing figure during the Island- ers-Niliners m-airathon series, turn- ed in another top notch effort lac night, winning spirit and the boys reflect- ed it in their outstanding play. Coach Murph Chamberlain used winger Irwin Gi-osss on the left side of Buck Whitlock and Bob Gray and this line was a going concern all night. They forced the play at all times and between them picked up six scoring points. The Islanders had several good scoring chances early in the game and the Miners one, but neither squad could connect. At the mild- way'ma.rk of the period Holduny kinifed in from the side to beat Lockhart but the puck stopped on the goal line. Bill Burega led a rush into the Islanders end to net up the only Glace Bay goal. Buregar tired I shot into the corner which not: Cooper slapped towards the Is- ianders net. George Mclagan par- tially blcuked the shot but tzhi puck trickled through his auto; to the waiting Kenny Wiataon who whipped the rubber into the cord- age from 15 feet out. The players roughed one an- other up, during the early stages of the second period and the actions finally resulted in Beaudry and Hii-ichbeiger drawing minor pen- aities. The Islanders had seven! good chances during the mint novel-ill minutes.
