They have lot Of races in the New
England States during open months
when winners have to 20 five or SIX
heats, but tho hardy Canadians Ike
TO sec them race to their very limit.
The week before the regular season
Jack Powers won a special race at Duff
fcrin Park, which is Ioronto's favorite
Lalf. mile ring. and had to 90 eight
heats to take down tn winners share,
which WAS 500 gross. At that the race
was not finished, four horses having
two heats apiece and the Judges dcclar-
ing that it was enough.
Billy Bishop Shows Form on Ice
The feature event which started on
December "a and vas wound up on
Monday went seven heats, and Billy
Bishop took the final in 2:l4i2, mighty
good time for the ice, and such a Cruel
ling concst Dundee Lad. that bobbcd
up down East last fall and knocked off
a few races, the money being held up
until he was properly identified was
the contender.
There was ansodd feature in this
race. Nat Ray, the Canadian trainer
chose PAGER Jimmy NcKcrron topped
the money winners on the big limo last
Robert Direct, 2:07. Nc took this three
year-old over to the ice meeting ond
won the second heat When he came out
for the fourth heat the judges had
discovered that undcr the rules Of the
Canadian association three year-olds
were not permitted TO race in hopplcs,
which Nat had tied 10 the legs of his
colt. SO they gave him the gate and
let the rest Of them scrap to the end.
The big money meeting for the ice
rags is that at Mount Clemens, which
opens on January %, and is the only
pretentious winter racing in the states.
The horses at Toronto Will race around
there, meanwhile, and then join the
200 will be ready for the scramble.
Only good ice is needed to make this
the best affair of its sort this season.
and the Importance that attaches to
the week is shown by hotel reserva-
tions, which are being made by Grand
Circuit owners and drivers, who will be
there and make things lively.
Jimmy Mcherron Shows Class in Slush
1t was during the Mount Clemens
meeting, last January. that Jimmy Nc
Kerron waded through slush and mud
in 2:111a and sold for about $4,000.
Scouts have been combing the country
for racing material and they will pick
up some of the good ones. There is a
trotter at Mount Clemens that will not
start, but it is known that several Of
the topnotch drivers have him in sight.
Baron Worthy is his name and, while
he did not get faster mark than
2:17l4 last season, he was a 2:10 trot-
ter and regarded as iirst-class Grand
Circuit prospect
Vic Fleming, who with Nat Ray di-
vides honor as being most successful
of the Canadian drivers who invade
the States, Will not have his good
PAGER Logan Hcdgewood next season.
Dick Mcmahon saw that one race a few
times and paid $1,000 for him at the
Chicago sale. Logan Hedgewood
should be one of the great PAGERS on
the mile tracks this year.
Breeding interests of Ohio, which
long hes been the principal racing
state both for mile and halfmile track
meetings, continue to encroach on
those of Kentucky To the ranks of

band is crazy about money and high
living"
