Page 10 Thursday, January 19, 195 Giddings Silks Soon Disappearing From Turf Famous in Canadian racing cir- cles for many long years, the Gid- dings name and silks may soon disappear from the Canadian turf scene. But the sale of King's Plate eligibles Brazen Buz and Fair Donna, both considered out- standing prospects for equine stardom, will keep alive track- room talk of Giddings trained en- tries for a few years yet. Mrs. Harry Giddings, one of the two licensed race-horse trainers in Eastern Canada, has kept the famous name to the Canadian turf forefront since the death of her husband last year. But ill health that followed an auto ac- cident last August has finally in- duced her to sell her farm here and retire from the sport. "Although I hate to sell Braz- en Buz and Fair Donna, I feel T can't do justice to them if I keep them," she said last week, in dis- cussing her plans to retire. "I have another two-year-old filly, Brazen Sparkle, that shows a great deal of promise, £00." Comparing Buz to the speedy Ten To Ace, King's Plate winner that was her husband's pride and joy, Mrs. Giddings obviously feels this latest hopeful for top Woodbine honours is slated for big things. "Chris Rogers stopped in before he hopped off for Miami to see if he could ride him in the Plate. I've had several offers, but I have my own price, and I won't take anything less," she concluded. LAKIES SPLIT All-out effort by Oakville Lakeshores and Georgetown Raiders to gain ground in the in- termediate O.H.A. group stand- ing were of little avail last week, the two clubs breaking even in a pair of torrid encounters that provided action a-plenty for dis- trict hockey fandom. Dill McNally, who has been contributing a yeoman defensive chore but hasn't hit the scoring column too often to date, came through with the all-important payoff tally that gave Lake- shores a 5-4 overtime victory over the Raiders last Wednesday night, McNally's clincher came two minutes after the overtime session got under way. Patterson opened the local scoring in the first frame, only to have D. Beaumont tie it up be- fore the period ended. Raiders went one up in the second on tal- lies by Ferri and Junior Beau- mont, with Speck's goal on a pass from Watson being the only Lakeshore retaliation. The loc- als kept plugging, however, and "Hank Galbraith set up a pair of neat plays for Kennedy and Davison to complete for a new Oakville lead. Scott forced the overtime as he netted on a play 'with Martin to bring the Raid- ers on even terms again. Then came McNally's money marker that broke up the tilt, It was a different story on Friday night, however. After an even-steven first period that saw Ray Patterson pump home an early goal on a pass . from Gal- braith, only to have Junior Beau- mont counter the play shortly E This lovely basket of gifts is awaiting you, if you are a Newcomer to the city, have Just become engaged, are a New Mother, have just moved 0 a new address within the. city, or just become Sweet Sixteen.

Patterson grabbed his second tally 20 sec- onds after the middle session got under way, completing a neat play by Kennedy. Then, when a Raider marker squared the scor- ing once again, Keith Speck bat- into Georgetown territory to push the Lakies into the lead for the third time just before the hooter sounded. But that was all for the Peer- men that night. Kempstead, Bradbury and Chappel took over for the Raiders, manufacturing a trio of unanswered markers be- tween them, and paving the way to a 5-3 Georgetown win. BOWLING » BANTER A DIFFERENT STORY Kitchener-Waterloo ten-pin- ners hit town Saturday for a Te- turn match with Oakville Bowl- ing Lanes trundlers and return- ed home after a torrid tussle with a 9-5 win tucked away in their shoe-bags. The verdict reversed the decision gained by the local bowlers recently in Kitchener. Bill Caton and Jerry Sharlock, visiting sharpshooters, were the only alley artists to beat 200, clicking for 207 and 203 respect- ively. Harold Orr, Dave MacAr- thur, Doc Dafoe, Frank Russell, Murray Small, Jack Galbraith, Wilf Medland, Howard Barker, George Hall, Harry Jupp, Joe Healy, Slim Secord, Joe Bagley and John Merson represented the local entry.

"Next year," says Frank, "we'll have a full feldged inter-town lea- gue in operation, with Hamilton, Kitchener, Waterloo, = Port Col- borne and Oakville represented." Doc's Dandy No trundler has managed to come close to Doc Dafoe's recent- ly charted 916 triple on the five- pin lanes. The mark, highest ever chalked up here, supplanted Al Yarnell's nifty 868, which stood for several weeks. Al, however, still clings to his 398 high single. Lowest score of the week went to Howard Binns. The Century manager couldn't even make the century mark, blowing in a very cool 83.
