DOWN TIIE BACK STRETBII The Harness racing season while nearing an end is by no means over. Next Wednesday and Thurs- day afternoons there will be eight classes raced at Charlie Willis‘ Parlor Track. These will bring to- gether the cream of the trotters and pacers that took part in the Goodwill meet. Covehead fall meets have always shown spark- 1:n;; miles. Last year the big feat- iiie was the great duel between Colonel Dan and Billy McVay \\'l\h Colonel Dan winning the fastest mile in 2.09 3/5. That with other good performances was probably the means of selling him fiir a long price to Bob Ryan of Iloulton, Maine. The Free For All and Junior Free For All events at Charlie's track should see several miles better than 2.10 if conditions are favorable. Following the Covelicad meet- Ilig there will be the fall race program at Parkview track. Oyster Elsie Louise was by Captain S. 2.05%. In addition to the above he has Jean Federal, a weanling. Lady Federal, another weanling out of Jeane Truax 2.06)’: and Leah Guy 2.04)‘: respectively. Our friend George MacDonald, Boston, Mass., remembers us with race results from Roosevelt Race- way and Foxboro, At Rooseveli Joe O'Brien won a classified pace. purse $1,500 with Money Maker, from a field of ten in 2.09 1/5. He paid $27. to win — certainly good odds, Money Maker is owned by (he Dudcy Patch Club, New Glas- gow. N.S. and we are indeed glad to see that he is winning in such fast company so far away from homo. Joe certainly has the key to this horse. He gave him a rec- ord of 2.08 at Foxboro two years ago, which then equalled the track pacing record held by Tip Abbe. Joe also won the classified trot with 'l‘hoinas Day in 2.09 2/5 from Bed. where a program quite equal to those of the past will be put on. In Port Elgin. N.S. the 100th an- niversary of the Fair will be cele- brated September 21st and 22nd.

We have very pleasant memories of the Port Elgini track, in 1920 we set up the track i. record pacing there with Colonel‘ Waltz and it stood for many years, 1 Ozher track meets to be held are i Iiloncton, North Sydney and Sus- sex, with the concluding local race meet at Riverside, October 10th, Brewers Gallon, owned by B.C. Cruickshank, Halifax, arrived safely at Joe O'Brien‘s stable, Roosevelt Raceway, Wcstbury, NY. last week. Word from Joe is that he likes him very rnuch and he is taking him along with the other horses on the westward trek which will eventually end at Call. Iornla for the big October 3nd November meetings. Brewer's Gallon with his magnificent ap- pearance, his beautiful trotting action and racing qualities should develop into a real star. His sire was a wonderful race horse and it may not be too much to expect to see the son Bill Gallon take a record well below 2.05. Anyhow Joe is high on him and that means a lot. ,We thank our friend Cecil H. McGinley of Houlton, Maine, for dhe following letter .. . “Bob (Ryan and I bought the horse Col- onel Dan last Spring.

We like him very much, He was unfort- unate in contracting a severe cough at Old Orchard Beach and! has lost a lot of weight so we do - not expect too much of him for the rest of the fall. ltle has only been behind the money once in nine starts and had he continued on in the condition he was in the first of July, I think he would have been one of the leading race winners of the season.

The motion picture "The Great Dan Patch" will soon be released and horsemen all over the United States and Canada are eagerly looking forward to seeing it. Dan Patch is the pacer that held more world's records than any other horse and he was so likeable that they fairly idolized him as he came on the track or finished his miles. Although he started racing as a four-year-old almost fifty years ago his name has been handed down through the gener- ations, so that probably more peo- ple have heard of Dan Patch than any other horse that ever lived. In his four-year-old form he made his debut at Boswell, Indiana, and won the 2.35 class in straight heats, best time 2.22%. He also won three other events that same fall. In 1901 as a five-year-old be made twelve starts, winning the 2.15 class at WindsorfOnt, best time 2.071.‘). He followed that up with victories at Detroit. Cleve- land, Columbus, Buffalo and Brighton Beach. N.Y.. where he stepped his fastest mile of the season in 2.04%. In 1902 as a six-year-old he took part in seventeen races, only two of them class races and one a spe- cial. The special he won. best time 2.06%. Then at Detroit, Mich- igan, he won from a fast field, best time 2.04 and followed that UP by winning at Cleveland, best time 2.03%. He outclassed his op- position so much that they would not race against him and so he was compelled to appear as the horse against time. Almost every- where he went he succeeded in breaking track records. sometimes even under unfavorable weather conditions. His fastest mlle was at Rcadville, Mass. September 23rd—- 1.59154. but he stepped another mile at Providence, R.l. 1n 1.59% and Eight others better than 2.02. In 1903 as a seven-year-old he set up a world's record for a half- inile of 571/4 seconds and contin- ucd his exhibition performances against the watch. At Memphis, Tenn. he paced the mile in 1.56)”: and in a trial against record to Waggon he was clocked in 1.57%. He went a mile to high-wheeled sulky in 2.04%. During almost all his racing career he was owned by M.W. Savagc,.a Canadian who established a line of stock foods and horse and cattle medicine business at Minneapolis, Minne- sota. lVfr. Savage had a genius for publicity. His buckets of stock food had lithographed labels that would almost sell the feed with- out any pressure. He wu a [en- ernus advertiser in newspapers and the advent of Dan Patch to any community was preceded by a furore of advertising that brought all the people within a hundred miles to see the show. The writer remembers when the salesman called on the late George i trotting record taken this year.

I O Slated nn the baseball agenda will be the final game or games, depending on whether the series is forced into a third grime, of the Provincial Junior play/offs between the Charlottetown Knights of Col- umbus atid the Sunimcrsirle Sheen and Mclnnis squads at Memorial Field this afternoon at 1:30 when the two teams clash 1n the second game of their best of three series for the Island championship. The Knights are presently loading the series by one game which they won at the Western Capital last Wednesday in the series opener. .If the locals come through again to- day it will be all over, but if they don't, then a third and deciding game will be played immediately following the first to decide the final issue. O O O On Sunday afternoon, also at Memorial Field, the East End Hawks and the West End Anchors will clash In the seventh and cle- cidlng game of the City Old Tim- ers baseball championship play- offs. Both teams are deadlocked in the series at three games apiece, and there is going to be plenty of action when they meet 1n the last round for the City title tomorrow. The big feature in the harness racing roster will be the afternoon meet of the Goodwill racing meet which was held over from Thurs- day afternoon on account of rain, and which will highlight the run- ning of the Frce-For-All event as well as three other first class classes in what ls expected to come up with some really fast, close racing, But this ls only part. of the day's racing program, as tonight under the lights, five Futurity events wlll take place which are loaded with classy entries, and will in all probability be a. highlight feature to l1 highly successful three-day meet, which despite the interruptions and postponements caused by the weather, has already produced some of the finest racing witnessed this season. O O O In addition to the local activities there will be big doings at the Western Capital tonight when the Summerslde Canadian Legion stage their big boxing card 1n connection with their week-long carnival. Al- l-hflukh 1t ls a Summerslcle show, there will nevertheless be a large representation of local fans ex. pected to take in the bouts to see five local fighters 1n action on the card. The feature bout will see Big Boy Peterson, Island heavy champ, tangle In a six-round decision bout with Kid Murray, Provincial light. weight champion, while four other locals on the card will be Bug‘ Lund, Harry "Kid" Poulton, Aus- tin Squarebrlggs and Emmett Gal- lant. O O O Despite the fact that summer sport is still on the go, the feel of football is in the air, and yester- day afternoon the Saint Dunstans University squad held their first workout session of the season on the S.D.U. gridiron. when some 26 or more turned out to take part tinder the guidance of coiwh A,,1, McAdam. O O O Many of last year's SD (l. squad. who won the N.B.-P.E.I Intercollegiate title and pughgd St. RX. to the limit for the Marl- tlme crown. are back in uniform again this year. particularly 1n the forward positions. although there are quite a number of their top- notch artists in the back field positions missing this year, that will have to be filled with a new crop of youngsters. O O Turning out with the squad yes- terday were most nf last year's forwards including Big Willy Mc- Donald, Hughle McPhee (capn). Cyril "Bun" Callaghan. rte; Rodgers and Lloyd Burke. while In the backfield were such old re- ltables as Johnny Cash. Mike Hen- nessey and Allister "Klker" M:- Isaac, plus the addition of George McRac who performed with the P. W.0. senior sauad last year. O O O Among those who are missing this year and will be leaving gaps ln the backfield which will not be molly filled are such stars as Owen Mullens. Bob Noble, Jerry Clinton. Cart McDonald and John Bradley. However. there were plenty of new feces among yesterday's turnout. many of whom wlll no doubt be among the stars of this season ln the Balms quest ln Maritime ln- Keen Competition In Racing 0f The Futurities Tonight Junior Baseball Titles Al Stalle- Here Today The last lap of the Junior Pro- vincial Baseball Championship playdovvns will get underway at the Memorial Field diamond when the Charlottetown Knights of Col- umbus squad tangle with the Sum- mcrside Sheen and McInnis aggre- gation in the second game of their ‘oust of three series this afternoon at 1.30 P. M. ln the event that the Summer- side squad tie up the series in to- day's encounter. the third and dc- ciding game will be played immed- iately after to declare the new Provincial Champions. Although the Knights took the opening game of the series quite handily at Summerside last Wed- nesday by a score of 10--5 to go one game up, the Western crew are expected to come back strong- er today to force the issue and stay in the running, while the locals will be just as intent on making it a straight game series. ' Which ever way it goes the meet- ing should produce plenty of action and smart ball, and should it be forced into a double-header. well. you can depend that. the final game will be a real thriller.

Competition should be very keen in all five events that include the 'I‘wo-Year-Old Pace, the Two-Year-Old Trot, the Three-Year-Old Pace, the Threc-Year-Old Trot and the Four-Year-Old Trot and Pace. Tonight's entries are looked upon as one of the finest crops of colts ever to take the word and ttiis is a tribute to the breeders who have worked painstakingly in bringing the future stars of the racing ovals along. The Harness Racing Club by their interest in colt rais- ing have also added much to the success that is now com- ing ~ to this all important branch of the racing sport; it is from the colts that the fu- ture Island trotting and pac- ing stars are raised and to- night's program is deserving of the fullest support. And there is little doubt that the fans will be there in large numbers for although the extreme speed is lacking nevertheless there is many a thrill in watching the young- sters perform; for the two- year-olds it will be their first outing; the three-year-olds will be getting their second test while the four-year-old class will be getting their final race before graduating into faster company. Races will get away at 8 o'clock sharp and indications are the track will be light- ning fast. Baseball Results NArrpxAi.

STAKES ~T0-N At midnight on Thursday of this week (Septtmber 15th) the curtain dropped 0n the last Act of the Trout Show of 1949. At intervals it was enlivened by bright spots but on the whole it was a disap- pointing performance and many verbal epithets were hurled at the flnny performers by a capacity packed house. o u This columnist hadn't wet a iine for the last two months of the soa- son I didn't have the time or necessary patience to try air-d temp‘. the fish otit of their legarthic mood. I can sit in a duck blind for hours hopefully scanning the sky- line for a tell tale smuge that irr- dicates a. flcck of ducks on the move or watch for the odd single or pair that have a hiibit of swing- lng in low from behind and catch- lng one mapping, With trout it's a different matter. Soma anglers will stand in the one spot for hours hopefully casting 11nd only ease up to change flies. o One old trout fishermen who liv- es at Bridgetown informed me that he wore out several sets of files be- fore hooking a. trout. I have a young hopeful not. yet six years old who has all the earmarks of he- coming a died in the wool trout fishcnrnan. One afternoon this sum- mer he caught three trout 1n a beaver dam all by hi-tnself although I was Stfllldill‘! by. 'l‘he first nnfi was under five Inches and I persuaded him to let it so t0 Hive lt a chance to grow up. The second one was also under six inches and I had quite an argument on my hands before he was willing for me to give the trout its freedom. "I don't care if it grows up or not" was his argument. The third and last was a good seven incher and he came homtzhzvppy. A week or so ago lle asked me to bring him home a fishilis "tfl- I cut fl sllm and supple nldcr and gave it to him. A few evenings lat- er I uas busy at. the chopplnf! block in the back Nllffl splitting kindling. I heard a familiar swish -S\VlSl1 of a line but it was a 10W minutes before I took stock. H6 had tied on about 8 feet of white wrapping string to his alder pole and was‘ busy casting ln an ima- ginary pool. He was making a pretty fair lob of it too. He'd citst out and draw 1t 1n with short jerks that would bring it in a, foot. each time. I guess he earned a real rod and line for next sum- mer. ‘l One afternoon of this week I had occasion to check a series of fresh water ponds lying inside a. range of north shore sandhtlls. The main object was to gel: a llnc on the black duck concentra- tions. I didn't see many black ducksjust. 11 where 10 years ago I'd think it strange if I didn't see one hundred and eleven. How- ever, 1 did run across lots of Hun sign. At one spot along the shore (between high tide mark and the ‘bank I saw where a covey of 18 ,or 20 had dusted in the dry sand and peeked around some dried kelp cast up by the tide. O O One section of sandhllls re- isembled a poultry yard. The sand was crlss crossed with Hun tracks. At one spot I saw where a covey of 44 birds had cmergedflrom a heavy - patch of dune grass and crossed a sloping sand patch at its base. A farmer ln the urea had told me of the immense covey of Huns on the sandhllls n, good 50 strong. Ho wasn't far out in his compilation. 0n my way back to the cat‘ I flushed a regular cloud of I-Iuns out of a stubble field. They got. up in n sort of semi-circle that was a full 50 yards wide at. its base.
