fella LaVeIIa ls Winner OF Jr. Free-For-All g 4 Evenly Matched Classes Take Word This Afternoon The opening afternoon racing program with 24 horses competing l in the four oluses features this afternoon's Old Home Week racing ilrogrsm It Canada's Finest Race ‘ night's duels of speed, another record crowd of fans are promised oven more thrills this afternoon when divisions will be raced. So evenly matched that a classifying committcc placed them any closer, the 2.24 trot, the first division of the 2.18 trot, the 2.16 pace rind the second division of the 2.22 pace should produce thrills at a dime a dozen. In the opening class on tho card, Wait N‘ Sce will likely come to the stand a heavy fayorite but tho othcr five trot- ters in the class have the ability to make a battle of it all the way nnrl the result canno‘ be taken as any The 2.18 trot should he a honey. Not one of tlic sen-n trottcrs en- tered can be regarded as a sure thing, and this looks iikc a clam that could be well decided in an extra heat. The two pacing ruces furnish the same story. The ficids arc small but the calibre of racing they will produce will hc high indccd. Wr-li known performers over Maritime racing ovals arc ini-ludcd in the cievcn paccru that will fake the word in ners are decided fans should have for one afternoon.

I I I Ciaudds example of gamcness and courage adds to the same tales told so often in the past. Drivers have near brushes with fatal accidents. but always they come back to the game. 1t takes courage to do that and Claude has that in big loads, and the horses he is driving are almost certain to be up in (he thick of things when the fields roar down to the finish line. It was announced officially yes- terday that tho Maritime amateur boxing championship tournament will be held on August 24th by the Wanrirrers‘ Athletic Club under official authorization of the Mari- time Amateur Athletic Union. I I I hclri in Charlottetown Yes. this ycar's harness racing As will be remembered. the Mari- time Championships last year were at the Arirnouries under the sponsorship oi the Department of Physical Fitness, and although the local participation will not likely bl on as large a scale as it was when held here, it is believed that a (cam from here will participate 1n the tournament under the colors of the Charlottetown Abegwcit Chub. although it is s little early yet to determine just who and how many will represent the local Ciuib. I The various events open for the competitions will include junior fiywcight, flyweiginh, bantam- weight, featherweight, lightweight, junior welterweight. welterweight middleweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight. I I The closing date for entries has been sot at midnight.

Although the Old Home Week spotlight on local activities this week, other activities are never- theless being planned for the fut- ure. Among these is the Abegweit track and field teem, who after a brief layoff after participation in three stiff Maritime meets which came in rapid succession, are buckling down 081111 to serious training for the forthcoming Mari- time invitation track and field meet which will be held hero on Labor Day, September 5th. under the sponsorship of the Department of Physical Fitness.’ The local Abbie squad, who have made n. splendid showing this ses- son in capturing second in team aggregate in s11 three meets held tiils year, as well ss capturing msny of the individual honors par- ticularly in the track department, have been turning out for the pest few days to get themselves in tip- shspe for the Labor Day meet. en it is hoped that they will be this to make u: even greater show- ceicbrations will hold moat of the 11 yours of ring experience to stave off on early onslaught by his younger opponent. Abraham took the initiative from the opening hell rind although he went down in the second round after one of the Tiger's powerful right jobs, he had 1'1 slight edge in points as the fifth round got under way. Warrington, who appeared to be slowing as the hell ended the fourth, opened the fifth with a flurry of rights and iefts that drove Abraham across the ring. Abraham rallied slightly, but 111i timing sccmcd to‘bc off and hi right hand, which had been land- ing in the previous rounds, was now looping around Wflrriflilllilfs head. A series of hard rights by Wnrrington d r o v e Abraham against the ropes. Abraham clin- chcd and tho referee parted the figiitcrs, Then came the final blows. Wnrrington, with a 10ft jab followed by u smashing right cross to the 15W. sent Abrflhlim to the canvas. In the curtain raiser, Jack Hay- den of New Glasgow, N.

The mile was paced in 2.09 3-5 after the first one had been in 2.09. Velia reversed the procedure in the final beat.

The venerable Jcrscy Joe effec- tively put Sweden's Olie Tand- berg into the also-ran ranks with a five-round knockout in Stock- hoim last night, thus mnkinii 0M less chore for Ezznrd. Waicotfs victory ovcr the so-so Swedish fighter rcnliy did little to alter the heavyweight picture, ex- cept ,ossibly to strengthen his hope that he might qualify for a return bout with the partly-crown- cd Charles. The International Boxing Club admits its plans, ii any, are vague at present, and that Wnicoifs triumph failed to change the sit- uation one way or onoihcr. Walcott, his pockets lincd with an estimated 15,000 Swedish kroner, or $41,670, ns n result of the fight, expressed his willing- ness to mcet any heavyweight, in- cluding the wlnncr of the Lcc Snvold-Brure Woodcock cncougtcr; when or if. it is hciil iri London he's particularly anxious for an- other shot at Chnrlcs. Charles also has said he was ready to mcct any man, so ari- othcr Charles - Wnlcoti match would seem cosy to mrikc. Whe- ther it would be cosy to take is unothcr matter.
