NOTES BY SIR MODRED.’

Southland Racing Club Summer meeting nominations close this evening at five o’clock.

The Dnnnevirke Racing Club’s Summer meeting will attract widespread interest this afternoon.

Cattle Flat Hack meeting has drawn an entry list that promises well for Monday, December 28.

Irish galloper, Aston (9.13) gives Gesture (9.5) and Kozan (8.8) real weight at Wairarapa over five furlongs.

Riccarton trainer, F. Christmas will hav.> Red Heckle and Convoy in the south and Minerval elsewhere this month.

The success of Peter Jackson in To Awamutu Cup (I.lm. I may mean winning form at A.R.C. meeting.

Rain is badly needed in Southland by farmers, while horse trainers share in the demand for moisture.

Knrapoti’s return to form in winning Waipa Flying Handicap (6f.) will be noted in racing and betting circles.

The Melbourne free-legged horse, Huon Voyage, will start at a short price in the Rowe Handicap (trotters) at Auck’and.

The fact that Minerval is to go to the West Coast for Christmas means that he will not race at Wyndham fixture.

Marlborough R.C. adopted light harness races last season and found them the most profitable events on the card.

Promoted hack, Gay Court (7.0) may start and create additional interest in the Wairarapa Cup (Um.)

Over-firm tracks and recent searching gallops resulted in S.R.C. trainers giving many pupils easy tasks yesterday.

A veteran of Maoriland’s turf, viz., Cupidon, by Martiaz, appears to have been entered for hurdling at Cattle Flat races.

It is stated that in the absence of Hunting Cry, R. Reed will be found riding Gol den Wings in the Railway Handicap.

At Woodville last week La Moderns (A E. Ellisi and Inflation (H. Gray) ran three furlongs from a move-up in 3-lsec.

At latest advice from Hawkes Bay i; was considered doubtful that Hunting Cry would start in Auckland Railway Handicap.

His North Island admirers are confident that King Colossus will do well in Manavatu Cup (Itm.), if he is set the task. The Chief Ruler filly, Princess Beil, raced smartly at Woodville, and will be given a chance in the G.N. Foal Stakes at Auckland. Gibraltar is unlikely to be a G.N. Derby competitor, but the colt by Lackham — Alvanez, is stated to be freshening up again for racing In the event of a mare winning Auckland Railway Handicap on December 26, Lady Quex (S. 10 may do the trick, as she is reported to be at her best. Mr W. R. Kemball has leased Whakane (King Mark —Earthshine! for jumping purposes. Experienced mentor wiih leapcr, V. Colello, is in charge. Eaglet has been galloping well over extended distances at Takanini and must be given a bright prospect in the Auckland Cup (two miles) carrying 7.1. V. Colello. who is to prepare a jumper for Mr W. R. Kemball, has produced some of ‘.he best steeplechasers and hurdlers figuring m N.Z. turf chronicles. North Island three-year-old, Cottesmore, by Hunting Song—Crubeen, by Limond, is a North Island gelding marked down to win a hack race during the holidays. While his ownership is in dispute and he cannot be raced under existing circumstances, Croupier continues to freshen up. and train on very’ satisfactorily. Leitrim, who won the concluding event at Waipa meeting on Saturday under the load of 9.7 over seven furlongs, is an aged gelding by Valkyrian (sire of Red Sea). A. E. Ellis will be on La Moderne in the Great Northern Foal Stakes, while ne will pilot Supremacy (8.11), the five-year-old Chief Ruler gelding in the. Railway Handicap. As Eulogy (dam of Commendation, Humbug, Epitaph, etc.) has never thrown a bad one, her juvenile son Esteem, bv Pom bal (imp.) may shortly fulfil high northern expectations. Locally-owned and trained Tea Party by Tea Tray’, is still displaying some tenderness and her lessee, F. W. Ellis, is workipg her on the lead and very easily on y-ielding tracks. Ex-Invercargillite and now an Addington light harness trainer, is reported to have the South’and pacer, Chimer, in the best of order. Six starts unsuccessfully appear against Chimer last season.

Well-known jockey-trainer L. G. Morris will escort Avro, Cadland, and Fiji to the Auckland RC. Summer gatherings. He will ride Cadland, by Acre, himself in the Railway Handicap (6f.).

Apart from the fact that it would furnish a very useful Auckland Cup gallop, it is a poor quest, to compete with Gustavo (9.0) in the President's Handicap £lOO (one mile and a quarter; at Dannevirke today.

For the first time since she was placed in commission, Dazzling Eyes, gave her trainer, R. McKay, some encouragem-nt, when she stepped out well with Consono on the Southland R.C. tracks yesterday morning.

Auckland Trotting Cup backmarjeer, Peter Bingen, who formerly held the world’s two-mile race record, is now under the care of G. T. Mitchell, who is preparing him for Mr W. Johnstone, of Auckland.

Probably the most contented worker on the Southland R.C.’s tracks at the present time, the widely-travelled Red Sea was trotting, cantering, and generally moving very coolly on the working areas yesterday.

One of the youngsters nominated for the Great Northern Trotting Derby of 1932 is a gelding by Red Shadow (Travis Axworthy) from a Matchlight mare. As Red Shadow is a four-year-old, his stud career began early.

When the Melbourne-owned square trotter, Huon Voyage, embarks on his special mission in Auckland Rowe Handicap, he may meet South Islanders Stand By, Surprise Journey, Ukulele Lady and Sir Voyage.

When raced in open company at the recent Wmton J.C. meeting, The Rector was under suspicion of having given himself a rick in a hurry-up sprint previously, but he has now recovered and is moving freely again.

King Archer, a winner at the Waipa meeting on Saturday, is classed as one of the most promising hacks in the Waikato. The Marble Arch—Miss Amans gelding has won two races and finished in second berth twice this season.

In the large field contesting the Pirongia Hurdles at the Waipa meeting on Saturday, the six-year-old gelding, Kairuri, by &ugy J aiofcvS.aivQK must haig retU£fl§d h

luge dividend when he prevailed as twelfth fancy.

The Rector was treated to his first strong effort yesterday on the S.R.C. couise proper since the Winton meeting. In company with Sailing Home (showed the way) ho got over seven furlongs in 1.34 4-5.

Jockey A. Eastwood is free for the Auckland meeting, but ho is still under engagement to pilot Great Star in the Cup or Railway Handicap, as selected, thus another horseman will have to be found for Jaloux.

In a five furlong effort yesterday on the local track, Consono shaded Dazzling Eyes nicely- at the end in 1.4 4-5. This was the first occasion upon which the Woodend—Laughing Eyes filly lias displayed ability.

Writing in the Otago Daily Times, “Sentinel” remarks: “As the handicaps for Waikouaiti and Wyndham are due before the Wingatui meeting they should have appeared on the same date as those for the local fixture. There is a good reason why that should be the case.” The handicaps for the first day of the Dunedin Jockey Club's Summer fixture were declared on Friday, December 11, while the adjustments for the Wyndham ILC.’s Annual meeting did not appear until Wednesday-, December 16. At the same time, there is no reason why the Wyndham R.C. pronouncement should not be made on the later date, and owners and trainers will be in agreement that the southern handicapper (Mr H. A. Pierce) has been proved over a lengthy term of years to be quite capable and independent enough to deal with his fields without reference to the work of others or any desire to score off tlleir obvious miscalculations. Mr Pierce enjoys widespread confidence in turf circles.

The Judicial Committee of the Woodville District J. C. met on Thursday to continue its inquiry into the handling of Korokio by H. Gray in the Oete Handicap on the first day, but, after hearing evidence, decided that no action was warranted. The inquiry was not closed till after the running of the Railway Handicap on the second day, when Korokio, ridden by B. H. Morris, was again defeated. It is easy to believe that 11. Gray's riding has been questioned down through the years to an extent far beyond that of any oilier horseman known in New Zealand racing circles, and, if the truth were told, more often than nut in response to the wails of irresponsible backers who have never in their lives owned a racehorse and cannot understand the fascinating vagaries of. the highly-tempered thoroughbred. As far as Korokio goes, it is reported from Wanganui that the local N.Z. Oaks winner was suffering from seasonal troubles during the jx-riod of the Woodville fixture and this fact was probably unknown to the busy jockeys who piloted her in the two races quoted—horsemen with engagements in at most every event of the day could hardly be wise to what was only suspected by the connections of the beaten galloper.

The following official communication has been received from the Riverton Racing Club:—“ln Saturday morning's Southland Times I see some comment on the policy of the Riverton Racing Club giving a gold cup in the Riverton Gold Cup Handicap at its forthcoming Annual Easter meeting. It might be as well to inform you that on August 4 last my committee unanimously passed a resolution that the gold cup be retained conditional on the winning owner having the option of taking cash. A circular has already been prepared setting forth the amount of cash the owner will receive in lieu of the cup if he so desires and this will be enclosed with the.official programme when it is being issued to owners and trainers. —G. B. Banks, secretary.” This is very satisfactory, indeed, as far as it goes, but the writer will still hope for a definite declaration as to the nature of a trophy t-o accompany the stake, and a moderately-valued one at that, as this would free a number of sporting, but financially hard-pressed owners from any suggestion of ranking as mere pot hunters. The writer trusts the management of the Riverton R.C. will give this suggestion full consideration.

When galloping alone on the Southland R.C.’s plough truck yesterday morning the five-year-old mare, Sweet Sally, went amiss and had to be pulled up. It was discovered that she hud sustained severe hind limb injuries and it was deemed advisable to requisition a friendly bullet, the caretaker, Mr T. Marshall, promptly executing this act of mercy. It was subsequently discovered that the mare had broken her leg at or below the fetlock joint and the shattered bone had been pressed into the foot, hence no attempt could reasonably be made to preserve her for stud duties. Sweet Sally was a well-bred, shapely novice galloper by Anomaly—First Hope, by Markhope (imp.) —Brilliant Plumes, by Stepniak—Royal Plumes, bj- Hotchkiss (son of Musket) — Ish Dien, by St. George—Ravenswing, by Apremont (imp.)—ldalia (imp.) and dam of Idalium, Sir Modred, and a long line of successful thoroughbreds on the turf and at the stud). Under the credentials quoted, students of breeding lore will admit that her owner-breeder, Mr D. Jones, suffered an almost irreparable loss from a producing point of view. The mishap referred to marked a series of misfortunes, as far as the local trainer R. McLellan was concerned, apart from the anticipation that the defunct galloper would pay her way on the racecourse, as in quick succession- he has lost the services of four horses prepared for Mr Jones—Membo was necessarily turned out after successful winter racing, Memories went amiss when moving well, First Song was passed on 1o other ownership and a new’ stable, ami tho last named’s half-sister, Sweet Sally, crossed the great divide yesterday. As a well-known painstaking and careful mentor, R. McLellan is deserving of the sympathy of racegoers and his brother trainers in what is generally described as “a bad run.” OVER THE FENCES. DISTRICT DOINGS. CALHAM TURNED OUT. (By “Stop Watch.”) With no engagements for steeplechasers until Easter time local candidates have been .eased off with their work. The Turi district which is reputed to be the home of the cross-country performers as far as Southland is concerned, has not so far produced anything above the average this season. Polling Day is the only performer that has shown up at all and although he won the cress country event on the second day’s card of the Winton Jockey Club’s fixture last month, the field was a poor one. He has been kept in work by Vincent Langford and will probably be contesting the Higliweight Handicaps at the Wyndham and Invercargill meetings during the holidays. Calham, who failed his supporters badly in both steeplechases at the Winton meeting, has been turned out, although he will probably be brought into commission later on. He raced disappointingly last month, and a spell may assist him to make amends.

W. McCarthy has not brought in the Fleetham gelding, French Fleet, as yet. Frank Langford has French Singer (Songbird—Fibrona) in his stables. This high-strung son of Songbird is an excellent jumper and has unusual “toe” on the flat. He is only seven years but is an extremely difficult customer to control, but there is every possibility that Langford will be successful in teaching him better manners and giving him an opportunity to salute the judge. H. Morton is handling Trooper North while Squatter and Ngahue are also being hacked about.

The old timer Pantler has been turned out after his good work at the Jockey Club fixture where he gained two thirds. As far as jumping goes he is a “crack-ajack,” but the toll of years tells when it comes to a hit of gkujf os the flat.

On the Flat The Winton district does not boast many performers of the flat. Frank Langford has in his stables 'the Some Boy II gelding— Rombeau who raced somewhat disappointingly last season. He faced the barrier in the Trial Handicap at the Jockey Club fixture last month and was prominent throughout. Langford has spent a good deal of time with this one and at the present time has him in rare fettle. He is an entrant at the Wyndham Club’s meeting. Another member of Langford’s team is Lady Mure, who, also claims an engagement at the Wyndham meeting. This wellbred youngster Sentinel) is one of the most promising seen about for some time. She is very well grown and ladylike in her manners and it would not be surprising to see her turn out above the average. At Bayswater Leading Boy is being worked and despite his handicap of a rough tra’ck he is in good trim. This five-year-old son of Some Boy II raced in forward order at the Winton fixture and ho has good possibilities of catching a race before the season progresses much further. WYNDHAM RACING CLUB.

WHIPPET RACING.

MEETING AT OHAI. On Saturday, December 12, the members of the local Whippet Club held a very suecessfbul race meeting, under ideal weather conditions on the Victoria Grounds. A good crowd gathered to watch some interesting races and close finishes. Mr A. Smeaton, secretary of the club, presented the three cups to the prize winners, and congratulated them on their success. The last race, a consolation handicap was in dispute for a considerable time, Mr A. Prendeville one of the owners entering a protest against the owner of “The Brewer" for an alleged flying start. The committee after a lengthy discussion decided to lei the race stand and run another consolation handicap. Another meeting will probably take place at an early date.

Hitherto the meeting was opened with the A or compulsory series of service matches, but at next year’s meeting they will be fired between the B and C series. LAWN TENNIS? TOURNAMENT MANNERS. PLAYERS’ ACTIONS CRITICIZED. (United Press Ausn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) (Rec. 7 pun.) London, December 15. Tennis tournament manners were scathingly criticized at the annual meeting of the Lawn Tennis Association. Mr Griffiths, chairman of the council, instanced the stopping of a game, glaring at the umpire or linesmen and losing temper and a ball by hitting it into space. He considered that one of the causes of the new mentality was a swollen head, perhaps encouraged by fulsome praise of young players in an eagerness to discover a future Lenglen. PLAYERS AT LOGGERHEADS. AMERICAN DAVIS CUP TEAM. New York, December 14. Sidney Wood, a member of last year’s United States Davis Cup squad, publicly accused Samuel Hardy, the Davis Cup captain, of berating instead of encouraging him at a critical point of one of the matches in the inter-zone final at Paris. Wood made his charge in a letter to the editor of Tennis, which carried an article by Hardy in its last issue discussing the prospects of next year’s team and suggesting that Wood was not yet a player of international rank.

Wood’s letter in reply accused Hardy of making an unfair attack on him, and said: “Had you been in tho locker room of Roland Garro’s Stadium during the rest period of my match against Austin (Austin then being two set to one), and overheard my captain telling me, with a lack of control surely to be regretted in one who was supposed to lead and encourage the players, that I was no good, that I looked like a fool on the court, and had no chance to win—had you heard all this you would understand why I can employ invective towards my former captain.” BOXING. JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHT TITLE. BERG DEFEATS FRENCH CHAMPION. (United Press Assn. —Ey Telegraph—Copyright.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) London, December 15. “Why can’t I get a fight without being hit low?” said Kid Berg after being awarded the contest for the junior welterweight world title against the French lightweight champion, Marias Baudry, who ceased fighting, pleading that his arm was injured. Berg added: “Luckily I was wearing a metal guard bought in America or I would be in hospital.” The crowd which packed the Albert Hall cheered Berg and booed Baudry when leaving the ring. The referee in the first round warned Baudry not to hit low.* A moment later Berg was on his knees groaning. Shouts of “Foul!” arose, and the referee again warned Baudry. Berg leaped out of his corner in a second and fighting furiously downed the Frenchman, who fiercely retaliated. Berg caught Baudry on the jaw in the fifth round and, seeing him distressed, attacked ferociously. Suddenly Baudry turned away holding his wrist, causing pandemonium, A doctor later announced that Baudry had tom a shoulder muscle.
