JOHN R. BRADEN COMING
FOR SK0WHECAN RACES
Four Great Speedsters Coming From
ArOOstO0k for October Meet

With four of the greatest speedsters
even seen in this section John r.
Braden, Roy Grafton, Jackson Grat-
tan and Dan Hedgewood for the Octo-
ber meet on Saturday, the 9th, one of
the biggest racing events of the Ken
nebec Valley section is assured.
John r. Braden, 2.02&, Names
champion PAGER of 1921 and 1922, is
well on his way to another champion
year, and is without doubt the lead
ing money-winning PAGER OF this year
as well as last, in an unofficial sense
of the term, for no wiggler has been
more heavily backed in American than
this "Spudland King and none has
won so much money for his hackers.
A glimpse at the amount of money
spent by Aroostook horsemen in a
fruitless attempt to dethrone the son
of the Famous John r. Gentry is
evidence that an honest effort is being
made to win in every race these horses
enter, In 1921, $500 was paid for
the 1921 money winner of the Bay
State Circuit" the same sum was.paid
for Roy Grattan, 2.01% from Tommy
Murphy's Grand Circuit stable, and
$12,500 for jackson Grattan, 2.01A
the Grand Circuit pacing star from
the Good Time stable, which Walter
Cox had driven in two minutes in a
race that year. Then the Woodstock
horsemen, not to be outdone by their
Aroostook neighbors, went out and
purchased the king of half-milers, Dan
HedgeWood after his most successful
year for John A. McGregor, the Athol,
Mass horseman, thus completing a
string of sterling race track perform
ers unequalled in any racing commu-
nifty in this section of the country.
