Frank Ervln was second with 6 and Harry Pownall third with 5. According to the reports in the harness horse press Joe was hitting a. wonderful clip. He first drove the two-year-old pacing filly Phantom Lady to a win in the 610,000 Debutante Stake for two-year-old pacing fillies. He was subbing for Frank Ervin. Time, 2.08. He was again in front in the Three-Year Old Pacing Stake, Ptu'se 510,000 with Jessica Star, time. 2.05 2.5, and was third with Lark Hanover in the three-year- old 515.000 Coaching Club trotting stake. The final heat was in 2.05 and Joe was subbing for driver Rell. He was first in the first heat of the,1-Iistorlc Pace, purse S7900 for three-y ea r- old trotters. piloting D'Artgnan, owned by the sol Camp Stables. to a win in 2.08 and was third in the final. Joe's mount was obvious- ly lame and difficult to drive. Subbing for Del Cameron he was first in the 2.17 pace with the three-year-old Newport chief win- ning both heats, best time 2.02 U5 -,a new record for Newport Chief. and one that malies him highly regarded for the Little Brown Jug. Joe was second in the Goshen Cup 2-year-old pace, purse 316,000, with the Sol Camp owned Diamond Hal the summary being 1-2. He was also first in the 2.10 trot with the S01 Camp owned Scotch Victor in 2.04 M5. There is no question a- bout Joe's ability to get up behind any kind of a. trotter or pacer and get the best out of him. That this is freely recognized can be seen by Joe's being chosen to drive in important. races such as above. At saratoga. this week Joe caused a big upset by defeating Parker Byrd in the featured 35000.00 Ash Grove 2-year-old pace with Diamond Hal, Time 2.05 U5. At Roosevelt Raceway last week the pacer Doctor J. A.. formerly owned by Dr. J. A. Donahoe, Truro, was fourth in 2.07 V5 for driver Del McTavish, who made several wins and placings with other horses. Earle Avery won a 33000 pace with the three-year-old pac- er Uhleen Fingo in 2.05 115-a season's record. He also won the 83000 B Trot with the three-yeah old Victory Mon in 2.07. At Fox- boro Dannie Steele, well along in the 70's. won the CC Trot with Clive Hanover in 2.12 U5, and Bob Ryan won the BB Pace with Colonel Dan in 2.08. Dr. J. A. scor- ed a victory in I. 03000 pace at Rosevelt Raceway Tuesday night for driver Del McTavish, time 2.07 9. new record. A new arrivel at the Charlotte- town track is Chet Lynn Clever, that took a record as a three-year- old. in 1951 of 2.14 215. He is a bay gelding by Clever Hanover' 1.59 U4 and his dam is by the Great Volo 2.02 1.12. As a three-year-old he made 17 starts. was three times first, twice second and twice third. Last year he did not race well. In his 22 starts he was once first, once second and once third. He is eligible and is staked in the 2.25 trot. for Old Home Week. The owner is John O'Driscoll, St. Johnls Newfoundland, and Clever is in the writer's stable and reminds many of the erratic Dr. Sharper 2.15 U2 that we raced forty years ago. At Truro Raceway Saturday night owner J. E. Given of Halifax, headed a fast field to win both Races 5 and 9 with the six-year- old pacer Headway, that took a re- cord as a three-year-old of 2.06 3x5. He is a brown horse by Scot- land 1.59 U5 and during his rac- ing career has won almost 522,000 and is eligible to the 2.17 class. Headway is a graduate of the Wa- then Stable. Fort. Fairfield, Maine, is nicely mannered and has all the characteristics of the Scotland breed. He looks to be a splendid investment for owner Given.

Art MacKenzie, who this week won the N.B.-P.E.I. Amateur and Open Golf Championship, would be a leading candidate for an 15- land Athlete of the Year award. if there were such an award. Art's performance in coming from be- hind to win the championship over Bob Gray and Tommy Stewart of St. Croix was nothing short of the dramatic. To win he had to shoot a one under par for the last nine- teen holes as he hooked, up with Gray in what was probably the best and most exciting golf match to be played here for quite some time. To both players we wish to extend congratulations for their excellent performances. . . . The Canada Packets softball team will lose one of their most. capable players within the next week when Ernie Trainor leaves the Province. Ernie has played on both sides of the key-stone sack for a number of teams during his days with lo- cal clubs and this year took care of the second base duties for the Packers, 1-lis fielding ability earn- ed him recognition as one of the best second basemen in the City League and his depglrture will un- doubtedly weaken the Meatmen's chances in their drive to consoli- date a play-off spot. I I O - Ernie suffered a heart-breaking loos earlier this summer when his parent; and brother Oarl were killed in a car accident and this blow curtailed his softball activi- ties. It also influenced his decision 'to leave the Province. He plans to be married shortly and to take up ruidence in New Glasgow. We wish him all the success and hap- piness in the world and hope to have the pleasure of meeting him again both on and 00! the softball diamond. i O 0 Injuries have been taking their toll on a nti-m-ber of local ball play- ers. The most seriously injured have been Willie Dtmn of the Junior Abbies and Phil McGee of the Sunshine Dairy softball team. Willie, who succeeded Cuker Pineau as third baseman of the Junior Abbles this year, broke two bones in his ankle about a week ago. He has a cast on his leg and will be out of action at least a month and probably more. His iniiiry is a seri- ous blow to Randy Edwards' Jun- iors who have few txtra players. 0 McGee, an outfielder for the Dairymen broke his ankle last Wednesday evening sliding into home plate in a game against the Bowery Bombers. Phil covered a lot of ground in centrefleld for the Milkmen and was one of the stir- eot ball-hawks in the circuit. He could hit a ball fairly well and oc- casionally came throtrgh with that long hit to put a game on ice. He will be out until some time in the play-offg and probably for the re- mainder of the season. . . . Billy Purcell, who was struck on the head last Monday night by a baseball in an Island League game, will likely be back vlavlnz within Hi week. Billy was taken to hospital after the incident occurred and was released it few days ago. The, hard-hitting outfielder is still. bothered with headaches and until these clear up he won't be seeing any action. ..- ..............4 little League Ball Today, Following is the Little League: Baseball schedule for this morning: 10.00-Indians vs. Dodgers.

Decision I OverEdWards Ir1Rousi,ng Ten Round Boxing Bout Henry "Kid" Jordan, an aggres- punching middle- weight out of Atlantic City last night won a split decision over Gil Edwards of New York in a bristling ten round exhibition fight at the Charlottetown Forum- before a crowd of about 1400 fans. The shorter Jordan, a veteran of more than 100 professional fghts, carried the fight to his younger opponent. He scored with hard right and lefts and had Edwards' nose bleeding in the early rounds. He also start- ed a mouse under Edward! left eye in the tenth round. - There were no knockdown: In the fight, Edwards nailed Jordan with a solid right along the ropes in the second round but the stocky negro took the blow and came back to stagger his op- ponent wlth a smashing right in mid-ring seconds afterwards. Judges George Hooper d Tom White voted for Jordan while referee Danny MacCormack gave the nod to Edwards. The Guar- dian score card read 96 points for Jordan and 88 for Edwards. Larry "Kid" Baker, a cool, methodical welterweight from New York won a seventh round technlcal' knockout over Don "Duck" Trainer of Charlottetown in the semi-final. Both fighters weighed in at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds. Baker, who has had ten pro- fessional fights without a defeat in New York, downed Trainor seven times before the fight was halted by referee Kid Nlckerson. The game Trainor, only 19 years of age, fought back stub- barnly but Baker's constant bar- rage to the mid-section in the early rounds took its toll on the Charlottetown boxer who just arrived here from Sydney by train yesterday evening. Bud Lund of Charlottetown, making a boxing comeback after an absence of two years from the ring, won an unanimous decision over Rocco LeRoy Jones of Hall- fax in a six round preliminary. The judges decision was not A popular one with the crowd and Jones afterwards challenged Lund to fight any time, any where. Jones started a flow of blood from Lund's nose in the fifth round and floored the City boxer for an eight count In the sixth. The Halifax fighter lost the third round for striking a low blow. ' Joey Longaphie. survived a first round knockdown and came back in the second round to knock out Tiger Steele of Char- lottetown with a mapping right hand punch that landed flush on Steele's Jaw. Longaphle's fist travelled no more than six inches. Although stunned Steele was not knocked out. He waited for the count of nine and scrambled to his feet. Referee Billy Pryor, however got the sign that -. the full count had been tolled and raised Longaphie's hand in vic- tory. From the press box it ap- peared ,lhat Steele was the vic- tim of a short count. By defeating Edwards earned the right to Durelle here in an fight on August 7th.

A moment later he flappod into the air with a fledgling song sparrow in its bill. The victim was carried several hundred yards to where a nest was located on a line fence south of the paved highway. There was nothing much the farmer could do? at the moment and he couldn't spare the time to mount. guard over the nest indefinitely.
