SPORTING

NOTES BY SIR MODRED. Entries for the Dunedin J.C. Spring metfing on October 11 and 13, are due on Friday next. The handicaps for the New Zealand Cup at Riccarton are due on Friday next (Sep tember 14). The New Brighton Trotting Club’s Spring meeting will be held to-day with the first race at 12.15 p.m. Quite a number of New Zealand horses are down to race at Tattersall’s meeting at R&ndwick to-day. The Chelmsford Stakes, w.f.a. (Im. If.), in which limerick is engaged to-day has £1250 added to sweepstake money. The sum of £2225 will be distributed in stakes at the Oamaru Trotting Club’s meeting on Labour Day (October 22). The New Zealand Trotting Cup candidate Jack Potts (imp.) may be raced at Wellington T.C.’s meeting on Saturday next. It is reported from Taranaki that Te Monanui has been causing his trainer anxiety and is being worked very lightly. What is expected to develop into a Wanganui J.C. record Spring meeting will open on Thursday next and conclude on Saturday. Court Jester is working soundly enough at Riccarton and may make his next appearance at the Ashburton County R.C. meeting. That stout little racer of last season, Rin Tin Tin, is working again with A. McKay’s team on the Riverton Racing Club’s tracks. It is stated that Night March will not be seriously trained for spring meetings but given every chance to mature for back end events. Prior to hie success at Wingatui Silver Paper set several half-mile training track records at Riverton that may stand for some time to come. Having recovered from a bad cold, Schottisehe is now doing nice work on the Southland R.C. tracks and recovering her lost condition. Despite the fact that he has been called upon to do his hurdle-schooling on his own Stormy has been pleasing the Frankton mentor, F. Tutchen. The four-year-old novice mare in R. McKay's stable by Fleetham from Miss Sylvia, a maiden who can step swiftly, has been called Silver Fleet. A half-brother, by Shambles —Charmilia, to Malmsey and Cassolette, has had the apt name of Verdun bestowed upon him as suggestive of the Great War. Mr W. T. Hazlett’s matron, Simper, has produced four foals to Kilbroney, one to ; Hymettus, one to Boniform, three to Paper Money and one to Absurd. In spite of past displays of weakness V. j O’Neill is confident that Spearfelt, winner of the Melbourne Cup of 1926, and Australian Cup of 1927, will train on for spring meetings. There is reason to believe that when the nominations are taken on Monday, October I, for the Gore Racing Club’s Spring fixture a record will be established for this October gathering. Riccarton trainer F. D. Jones is no be l liever in his team eating the bread of idleness, hence he will probably be represented by several starters at the Tattersall’s fixture at Randwick to-day. W’hen entries close on Friday of next week for the Dunedin Jockey Club’s Spring fixture on October 11 and 13, it is expected that Otago and Southland stables will be very’ strongly represented. The four-year-old mare Some Rose, by Some Boy ll—Rose de Vai, who won the McLean Stakes at Wingatui in 1926, is working with W. McKay's team at Riverton. She ranks as the first Southlandbred two-year-old to secure a classic race. « At the present time local trainer R. McKay is handling a nice colt by Some Boy II | from Lady Sentinel, by Kilbroney, for Mr R. B. Stiven. The youngster ranks as a half-brother to the improving Attractive Lady, a pupil of G. Hope. A shapely little filly in L. Smith’s stable is disclosed to be a daughter of Balboa and Gunshy by Calibre—Dabchick, by Formosan —Aqualis, by Perkin Warbeck ll—Aqualate, by July—Teredo, by Apremont— Nautilus, by Traducer—Waterwitch, a pedigree suggesting memories of some of the best bygone performers of the Maoriland turf. Two four-year-olds reported to be doing well in the paddock in the Eastern district may be remembered as sons of Songbird, via., French Singer fhalf-brother to Vice Grand) and Mananui, both of whom may be taken in hand again shortly. It would not cause surprise if the pair should develop racing ability as four or five-year-olds, as they have size and conformation to recommend them. The most striking three-year-old filly on locks at present working on the Southland R.C.’s tracks is Remindful, by Balboa—Reminder. by Canrobert. Although on the tall side for her age, Remindful moves rather well and is making steady progress in her studies. Showing the effects of a recent heavy cold, but rapidly picking up again, the three-year-old gelding Ballance, by Balboa —Naomi, by Vice Admiral—Cora Dhue, by Martian, is working once more from L. Smith’s local stable. He is a smart little fellow, and when sprinted as a youngster last season he displayed distinct galloping ability. Although she is not yet at her best, the four-year-old mare, Coomassie, continues to make new friends as a pupil of local trainer J. McChesney. The daughter of Some Boy II is a shapely galloper and in addition creates the impression that she will carry weight well and gallop fast when really strung up. She is always anxious to move fast and it is fortunate that she can be piloted by a trainer who can keep her under restraint and at the same time gauge what is best for her in the way of exercise. McChesney’s Australian-bred pupil, Miss Joycie, was not troubled by the train trip to and from Dunedin last week or her racing at Wingatui, and it has to be noted that she did not lose any condition by the way. ' On Saturday last several people were very busy booming Silver Paper for the Vauxhall Handicap at the Otago Hunt fixture, while at the same time their own backing followed Narrative. It was a case of the biters being bitten, as they directed many backers to a winner who would otherwise have let the event severely alone. Despite the fact that Silver Paper had only been treated to several short sprints at Riverton previously he proved equal to heading off the better-conditioned Narrative. For several days previous to the Otago Hunt fixture several local busybodies, for reasons of their own, circulated stories to the effect that a local hack engaged at Wingatui had defeated Celerity II in a half mile sprint. Whether this “tale” deceived many punters or not cannot be definitely stated, but the only chance the hack would have had with the English mare over four furlongs would have been under conditions calling on Celerity II to move backwards

from the half-mile peg to the judge’s box, .with the novice doing its darndest in headlong flight. In the gallop from which this catch penny story originated the hack was signally defeated by another racer of similar age, a performer many removes from the class of the Endeavour Lodge crack. When produced at W’ingatui the reputed hack flier was soundly trounced. It may be stated that nobody was more surprised than the recent trainer of the aforesaid hack, that his pupil should be forced into the limelight in this startling fashion.

Shod with a leather sole and a special shoe Bilbo has made his reappearance on the Southland R.C.’s tracks looking big and hearty after his winter spell and two disconcerting- mishaps during the interval. He still bears the marks on his limbs of his entanglement in a wire fence, while his second injury, thought to be caused by stepping on some sharp object, has apparently yielded to treatment. The hardy descendant of Greyspear is to be restricted to easy exercise in the meantime until all danger is past, but if his own wishes were consulted Bilbo would quickly let the world see that he is anxious and eager to give of his best. F. W. Ellis’s handicap charge is deserving of a change of luck, as two falls in races and a couple of accidents in several months are surely more than the share of any racehorse not called upon to face timber or top steeplechase fences. The brood mare Silver Peak, obviously with foal to Mr A. Chisholm’s good-look-ing English stallion, Woodend, was railed away to Oamaru last week on her way to the Elderslie Stud where she is to again join the harem of imported Paper Money in the hope of another Silver Paper being produced. So far. she has to be credited with three foals, two colts to Paper Money and a filly to Some Boy 11. With a heavv track in prospect on Thursday morning there were no serious tasks attempted on the Southland R.C.’s inner grass circuit, but a number of horses skipped over short distances, the majority being kept well in hand. The leading efforts were as follows:—King Balboa and Queen Balboa four easy furlongs in 58 2-ssecs, Celerity II and Spean Bridge five furlongs under restraint in 1.11 2-5. Flying Mist a very easy half-mile in 61 2-ssecs, Cupid’s Dart headed Solzia over four furlongs in 55 3-ssecs, The Graphic, well in hand, two furlongs in 32secs. Sparking Eyes and Baffin Bay four furlongs in 55 3-ssecs, the last three in 41 3-5. Attractive Lady twice beat Red Boa over two furlongs by a narrowmargin on each occasion, the first time in 27 2-ssecs and again in 27secs. Banner Boy and Joan Perkins two furlongs in 29 1-5 secs. Kate Kellv and Bridget three furlongs in 46 3-ssecs. Batchelor Boy and the Sabor filly two furlongs easily in 30 3-ssecs. Remindful and Ballance almost together in 1 that order three furlongs in 39 4-ssecs. A large number of other horses were restricted to easy pacing. It is understood that in the course of a few days’ time Silver Paper and his two-year-old half-sister by "Some Boy ll—Silver Peak will depart for Canterbury. The youngster may be given a run in the ! Trial Stakes at the Ashburton County R.C.’s Spring meeting, but Silver Paper will i not be a starter at the inland gathering. The pair will then go on to Riccarton to I gain the advantage of good tracks and the i assistance of smart galloping companions. I Following a sojourn of about a fortnight the relatives will entrain for a southern ! trip and the journey may be broken to give Silver Paper a race at the Kurow J.C. fixture on October 6. A move will then be made to Wingatui, where the stablemates claim classic engagements at the Dunedin J.C.’s Spring meeting. During the past week R. McKay has been devoting close attention to the three maiden performers in his stable and Insolence (bolferino—Comment), Polling Day (Gay Lad —Ruthful) and Silver Fleet (Fleetham — ham —Miss Sylvia) may be said to be steadily improving, with the gelding Polling Day taking’ to his tasks like an old stayer. The mare Silver Fleet is not so forward as her companions, but she can move smartly and may reward her mentor later in the season. The well-known gelding, Strathnaver, is very much on the big side at present, but he is looking bright and healthy. J. McChesney is not asking very much of the son of Gay Lad at present, but he is in good shape to commence an exacting preparation when his trainer decides in that direction. F. J. McKay is keeping Mr W. T. Hazlett’s lengthy local team up to the collar these days, but. so far. their work has not been of a very interesting description. However, it is noticeable that Father O’Flynn I is standing up to his tasks in a satisfactory fashion, while Apache and Latin Quarter, who have not been up very long, are rapidly assuming racing condition. The three-year-old Red Boa is being carefully treated and built up by G. Hope and as a result of not been severely taxed the brother to Baldowa is finishing and growing into a nice horse. He is a lazy customer on the tracks, but, as he does not really know yet what the racing game means, this is not surprising. He is possessed of rare determination, however. and when his turn comes to step out for keeps he is hardly likely to be found wanting. Full brothers do not always race equally well in the best company, but Red Boa promises to be an exception to this generally accepted idea, that is if make, shape and courage go for anything, while Balboa’s younger son sweeps into action as if the galloping ability is all there. Reports from the Western District indicate that the list of horses in active commission in that widespread sporting area is steadily growing, and in this connection it has to be recorded that G. Bain has a team of five or six performers at daily exercise. The best known of this far away string may be mentioned as Uncle Bob, In the Pink and Atapo and it is interesting to learn that the first-named is sound again and giving his sporting mentor cause for satisfaction. Uncle Bob is a useful steeplechaser and seasoned fencer, and, all going well in the meantime his presence at back-end cross-country fixtures will be welcomed. Atapo, too, can run out a very fair hurdle race course and the two jumping events on the Gore Racing Club’s Spring meeting programme should be to his liking providing he can be got ready in time. The Dominion Handicap, to be decided on the second day of the Dunedin J.CV Spring fixture, will afford a welcome opportunity to owners and trainers of two-year-olds to give their representatives a run in public over a suitable distance for novicefe and debutants. Under a new ruling of the Racing Conference the event has been set at four furlongs, a distance for many years unavailable, owing to the shortest races permitted being scheduled at a furlong further, and the change must be classed as a humane one where backward baby races are concerned. It is reporter! from the Riversdale district that Mr W. J. Kelly has three horses in work, his select string comprising Maungamoe (Balboa—Gienapp mare), his younger fuil-brother, Tunamoe, and a still younger sister to the well-known jumpers referred to. Tunamoe, who has been in work for some, time past may be produced for the hurdling events at the Gore R.C.’s Spring fixture, but it will be some’ time • yet before the cross-country performer, I Maungamoe is ready to make his re-appear- ■ ance on the turf. The son of Balboa, who has recovered from his exertions and experi--1 ences at Riverton at Easter time, is to be taken up again next week and, all going well, it is on the cards that he will be engaged at the Winton Jockey Club’s annual gathering in November. The sister to the geldings named is also to follow the jumping game in due course.

ACCEPTANCES FOR FIRST DAY. (Per United Press Association.) Wanganui, September 7. The following are the acceptances for the first day of the Wanganui Jockey Club’s Spring meeting to be held on September 13 and 15: —

AVONDALE JOCKEY CLUB. WEIGHTS FOR FIRST DAY. (Ter United Press Association.) Auckland, September 7. The following are the weights for the first day of the Avondale Jockey Club’s Spring meeting which is to be held on September 22 and 24: KINGSLAND HACK HURDLE RACE, £250. One mile and a-half.

FREE ADVICE CASE. ANOTHER PHASE. (Per United Press Association.) Christchurch, September 7. Once more a phase of the Free Advice case was before the New Zealand Trotting Association to-night. The secretary read a letter written to Mr W. E. Thompson, president of the New Brighton Trotting Club: —I am instructed by the president of the association to call to your attention the report of the meeting of the New Brighton Trotting Club’s committee appearing in the Lyttelton Times on August 25 in which you are credited with saying “Right through, the association has not taken a fatherly interest in the clubs. It has sought for a way, fair or otherwise, to defeat the object of the rules under which the club acted,” and to ask whether this is a correct quotation from your speech. As explained by the president the rules provide: “If any person shall write or cause to be written, publish or cause to be published, utter or cause to be uttered any improper, insulting or abusive language with reference to the Conference, or association, or members or officials thereof, he may be deemed guilty of a corrupt practice and may be fined any sum, etc. The board went into committee to consider whether Mr Thompson should be dealt with under the rules. BOOKMAKERS. OPERATIONS CRITICIZED. (Per United Press Association.) Hastings, September 7. “I have no wiah to criticize anybody,” said Mr George Ebbett, the president of the Hawkes Bay Trotting Club in his address at the annual meeting to-day, “because many people who are quite honest and reallv are of the. opinion that they are acting for the best, at the same time do. many wrong things. I am willing to believe that in most instances this is brought about through ignorance. There are those of us who know that the cities of New Zealand are swarming with bookmakers and their agents. There are bookmakers in many freezing works and factories and there Is one in every hamlet in New Zealand. We also know that could money be wired to the courses, half the ground at present would be taken from under the feet of these gentlemen. - Of thousands of people who trade with them illegally a huge proportion are not law-breakers from choice and if they could wire money legally, would do so. Then consider the increase in revenue. Yet whenever this is proposed there is an uproar of opposition from people who are very noisy but who have no inside knowledge of the position. There are those of us who know that so long as human nature lasts there will be gambling and drinking and other things and that by legalizing the wiring of money to courses, the moral standard of the community would do so. Then consider the increase Everybody who wants to bet- now simply goes and does it and the law is broken thousands of times every day. We are breeding a race of law-breakers and all the law is being brought into contempt. It is high time that we, who have the broader minds and the greater knowledge of these things organize to see that men are elected to Parliament with sufficient courage to say that in their opinion a proposal of this kind is in the interests of the community and will support it because it i is not wise to have multitudes of bookmakers carrying on, with impunity, anillegal business throughout the Dominion. RUGBY. NEW SOUTH WALES V. SOUTHLAND. All roads will lead to Rugby Park on Wednesday when a mammoth crowd will

assemble to witness the long looked for meeting between New South Wales and Southland. The visitors team to take the field in opposition to the Maroons will be such that the game will be played at a cracking pace from start to finish and football of a high order can be confidently anticipated. First class judges of football who witnessed the first test state unhesitatingly that the New Zealand team were extremely fortunate in securing a win, penalty kicks being the deciding factor. However the visiting side now they have settled down should be a hard proposition to beat. The Maroon team has not yet been chosen, but in view of the list of successes attained by the teams chosen to date, the selector will have no difficulty in choosing a team that will do honour to Southland. Arrangements for the match are well in hand, delayed and special trains have been arranged by the Railway Department whilst excursion fares will also be available, these facilities should suit all country patrons. The Civic Band will enliven proceedings with a programme of music. A curtain-raiser will be played between a town side and the Eastern Sub-Union representatives who are the holders of the Sports Trust Cup and the champion subunion team of Southland. This game will commence at 1.15 p.m. and will prove a grand exhibition. Another game which has been arranged and which should be the feature of the day, is a seven-a-side match between teams representing South and Marist schools. The spells will be of five minutes duration and the game is sure to prove highly diverting to the public. The weight limit of the boys engaged is 6 stone 71bs. It will be interesting to the public to know that the last time a New South Wales team appeared in Invercargill was five years ago and the day of the match versus Southland was the occasion on which the new grandstand at Rugby Park was officially opened by the Mayor of Invercargill. The Southland team on this date excelled itself and won by a substantial margin. THE WARATAHS. TEAM FOR SECOND TEST. Dunedin, September 7. The New South Wales team for the second test will be chosen from the following:— Full-back—Westfield. Three-quarters—Hemingway, Towers, Burge and Smairl. Fly-half—George. Half—Malcolm. Forwards—Cerutti, Phipps, ComrieThompson, O’Connor, Lamb, Loudon, Bland, Munsie and Rosenblum (one to be omitted). There is no change in the New Zealand team. MAORI TEAM CHOSEN. R. BELL SELECTED. Wellington, September 7. The Maori team to play against New South Wales here on September 22 will be as follows: — G. Nepia (East Coast), J. McKenzie (Bay of Plenty), D. Pelham (Wellington), Riki Jury (Wairarapa), L. Paewai (Auckland), R. Bell (Southland), J. Mill (East Coast), S. Gemmel (Hawkes Bay), Ua Raroa (East Coast), J. Leach (East Coast), W. Wilson (Hawkes Bay), W. Reside (Wairarapa), W. Rika (North Auckland), J. Gemmel (Hawkes Bay), J. Pine (Wanganui), W. Turei (Auckland), H. Harrison (East Coast), M. Rika (North Canterbury) and D. Tatana (Manawhenua).

SWIMMING. WRIGLEY MARATHON. A STRENUOUS RACE, Toronto, September 5. Two hundred and seventy-five swimmers entered the water at 11 o’clock to compete in the Wrigley Marathon. Ernest Vierkoetter, the German Channel swimmer, who was last year’s champion, took the lead early and still held it after ten miles had been covered by which time only five were left in the race for the six prizes. Miss Got terdam, of Seattle, the only woman competitor, withdrew soon after the atart. George Young (Canada) the Catalina Channel conqueror, also quitted before eight miles, while Ethel Hertle, last week’s winner, withdrew. Thomas Ariad Sydney and Edgar Finlay represented Australia. With little more than three and a-half miles to go Vierkoetter was taken from the water leaving only four. Three of these quit leaving George Michel (France) the only survivor. It was doubtful if he could finish and went on only at his trainer’s coaxing. He was showing distress and was moving slowly. Vierkoetter was unable to move, his eyes were closed and he was apparently unconscious. It took three boats to get him on board the Red Cross vessel. The intense cold is blamed for the failure of the swimmers to finish. The first prize for the race is 25,000 dollars, while the second and third were 2000 each, the fourth 1500, the fifth 1000 and the sixth 500. It was unofficially announced at eight o’clock that Michel will be declared the winner of the 25,000 when he passes Vierkoetter's mark. Of the twelve miles he has done eleven.— Australian Press Association. REMAINING COMPETITOR WITHDRAWS. Toronto, September 5. Georges Michel, of Paris, the last remaining contestant in the 15 miles marathon swim was taken from the water at 10.12 p.m. after completing twelve and a-half miles.—Australian Press Association. PRIZEMONEY UNCLAIMED. Toronto, September 5. The forced withdrawal of Michel, the sole remaining contestant, leaves the 35,000 dollar prize money unawardbd owing to the stipulation that the course must ba completed.—Australian Press Association— United Service.
