The Acton Frea Press Wednesday Jan 261978 Tie leaves minor bants tied final game may not be played GOOD BY STEVE KRUKS against a persistent Fergus attack gave Acton a shutout win last night at the arena in the first game of the juveniles OMHA playoffs Acton harness driver gets win at Greenwood In the stretch it looked hopeless to me said Acton driver Larry Walker of his chances in the late stages of the January Handicap at Greenwood Raceway But then Armbro Song drifted out a bit just enough for me to get through And when the opening occurred Walker was right there with Cashmere Bay at the longest priced horse in the field of six pacers to grab the lead with less than feet left in the mile event The eight yearold New Zealandbred roared past Merrywood Rick who had been on the lead since before the half with Tom Strauss on the sulky to win the portion of the purse by three- of a length In the me of Cashmere Bay was making his third start of the season but it was his first against the FreeFor All types and both Walker and the horse trainer and co- owner John Burns of Milton had not expected to win it Walker who was the fourth leading money winning driver on the Ontario Jockey Club Circuit last season with in purses came right back to the winners en closure with trotter Southside after the fourth race The sevenyearold mare owned by Cecil Schlueter of Waterloo came from well off the pace to win by a half length over Toryanno in her second try of the season The 30yearold Walker won JC tracks last year and is off to a good start in the new season In his six drives on Saturday he also had one second place finish and two thirds good for in purses That brought his earnings so far this meet to third highest behind leading Ron and Tom Strauss Acton minor bantams hid to come from behind to tie a strong squad last Tuesday as tbey played what could be their last regular season game of the year They are scheduled to play but the game might not be played because OMHA are starting and Acton are tied for top root and unless the game is played the tie will not be broken Tim Shields in nets mis judged the first goal which came on a long shot but tightened up to play a good game from then on moved out to a 20 lead in the second period and held it until partway through the third period before Acton got Tony got them on the scoreboard with an un assisted marker and Jeff Gil playing his first scheduled game with the bants fed Mark Duval in front of the net for the tyino goal Several good chances in the dying minutes failed to pull out a win for Acton according to Barnes bags 100th MUton Flyers buried the Gemini in en OKA Central Junior game at the old Memorial Arena last Wednesday night The only highlight of the evening from a Georgetown point of view was a goal by Doug Barnes in the final minute of the game It was Barnes goal in three seasons of Junior play with the Gems Milton jumped in front in the first period and were ahead after minutes manager
