ROCKFIRE WON WITH YOUNG DONOGHUE UP Newbury 8pring Cup Feature Was Thrilling Race on Saturday. London, April 12.--Rockfire, rid- den by fifteen-year-old Pat Dono- ghue, son of the famous Steve, Sat- urday afternoon won the Newbury Spring Cup by half a length from Purple Shade. Warden of the Marshes was third by a head. The betting was-100 to 6 against Rockfire, 100 to 8 against Purple Shade and 11 to 2 against Warden of the Marshes, Fifteen ran. The success of the young son of the famous jockey was almost as sensational as when he rode a 100- to-1 shot to vietory inthe Lincoln- shire Handicap two weeks ago. Rockfire, owned and trained by J. F, Hackett, who has not a large stable, is a seven-year-old chestnut horse by Rock Flint out of Flechette. Rockfire had a good three and four- year-old record, but lately has not distinguished himself. Lord Lonsdale's four-year-old Warden of the Marshes was the fav- orite because of his good three-year- old record, which culminated in tak- ing third place in the great St. Leger last autumn. Mys, J. Bancroft's Purple Shade, alsd strongly backed, was conspicuous in the older fields last season, taking third place in the Kempton Great Jubilee and the Steward's Cup at Goodwood. The official handicapper rated Rockfire at the very bottom of the table of weights. He carried 90 pounds, compared with, Purple Shade's 110 and Warden of the Marshes" 114. ; The Newbury Spring Cup is one of the principal handicaps, the distance being one mile. It was instituted in 1906, and {is a handicap plate of 1,600s0vereigns.

Many so-called ,good golfers have a brassle of one type and a driver of another. This is a handicap in a way, and the beginner might save a lot of time and trouble if he were to get wooden clubs that were mates. For accurate drivi a whippy shaft is a hopeless pr tion. When I got to England last year I deecid- ed to get a new driver made exactly like the old one. The club turned out very well and it was so close an imitation that I could not feel difference, but nevertheless 'was always that temptation back to the old club. iz to i g in Roger Peckinpaugh and Stanley Harris, are credited with responsi- bility for the innovation. Their re- cord of twin putouts, critics aver, has brought about concentration on the construction of the Keystone combinations which already has re- sulted in the sacrifice of many strong hitting inflelders for young- er, faster flelding and quicker throwing players. Washington holds the major lea- gue record of 182 double plays for one race. The spring season has developed" In an unusual number of keystone changes. Ty Cobb has dis- placed Emery Rigney at shortstop with the sensational Jack Travener. He also has threatened to remove Frank O'Rourke, a fair hitting sec- ond baseman, for young Gehringer, a strong armed Toronto youngster, who hasn't been able thus far to con- tribute. much to the Detroit team's offénsive power. Rigney, now with the Red Sox, may take the shortstop post from Lee. 1 George Sisler has been trying out his reeruit find, Mellilo, at second while Thevenow will work regularly alongside Hornsby in a new key- stone combination for the Cardinals.

Sydenham, April 10.--It seems that although April is the first month of spring, yet it has brought a lot of sickness to this community. Mrs. Charles Truscott, who has had fair health, has been taken ill with a severe weakness, due to anemiac condition. She is improving now and™it is hoped that she will soon be able to attend to her duties: Miss M. Bennington suffered an attack of heart trouble. She is also out of danger now and gradually im- proving. She has the sincere wishes of the community for a speedy re- covery. Mr. Thomas Alton, an old resident of the village, also suffered an, at- tack of heart trouble. He is still very sick, but by care and being careful, is expected to be out soon, Mr. 8, W. Alexander, who has suf- fered sickness this winter, has had to take his bed again, as he has had an attack of flu." He is improving and will be at work again in a few days. Mr. Frank Clarke, who re- turned Kome from the hospital, is getting along fine. Mr. George Guess is still in the hospital but gradually improving. His operation was of a heavy type, and some time will elapse before a complete re covery is reached. The saw mill which has been run- ning at full capacity all winter, has ceased for a few days, owing to the break of the main water wheel. This is a great delay as it is a big job re- moving this and adjusting another in its place. The water in the lake is gradually raising, and plenty -of power is assured for sawing the large number = of logs which are boomed on the lake and those on the mill-yard also. g & FRONTENAC BOWLING & | COME, BOWL AND FORGET New contest to be announced soon. ™ | Rockport A Rockport, April 9--Sugar makerd ure greatly disappointed jn their in< dustry, owing to prevailing weather conditions.
