His best night of the year was Monday, June 17, when he guided three winners on the nine-race card. The first to finish in front was Joannie Chief from the Hardy barns, followed by McRann's own Dale Gratton D and Belle Direct L owned by Hall and Cooper. Other Hardy horses in the money recently have been a trotter, Meadow Art's Lady, and pacers, Herbert Carter and Pauline Volo. MeRann has also been in the money with his own pacers, Adiodale and Maud's Boy along with Karen Direct, owned jointly with Murray Maguire of London. Lucan's Clarence Young has been hitting the winner's circle quite consistently with his own. Frankie Atom, The six-year-old gelding has won three of his last four starts and bettered his own record with a time of 2,08 2/5 in taking his last outing Thursday, Young lost his good pacer, Rocket B in a claiming race at London a few weeks ago. Morrissey, the popular Crediton owner, has been most successful on Michigan tracks over the past ten days. The first to be a winner at Northville was eight-year-old Huron Boy, the eldest horse in the Morrissey string. Last Tuesday, the five-year-old pacer, Brother Bob, picked up a win at the same track, breezing home in the fast time of 2,05, the best of his career. Black Angel C, from the same barns, has been coming along well in the past couple of weeks. After spending a week pasturing on the home farm, she returned to Western Raceway a week ago Saturday and took a pacing event with ease. Corning back three nights later, the four- year-old out of Miss Donna Direct, finished in place position, only a head behind the winning Sheila F. Other starters from the Crediton stable have been Brother Jim and Irish Direct C. A six- year-old, Brother Jim, has failed to finish in the top three in any of his attempts. The youngest active participant of Morrissey's string, Irish Di- rect C in her last outing gained a show spot be- hind the winner Ann Cash and Lochinvar Judy. Exeter's only driver-owner, Lloyd Turvey, steered his Atomite to victory the last time he faced the starting barrier. The most recent local victory was turned in Saturday night by Sister Harmony C, a seven- year-old mare, owned jointly by Bill Ellerington of Exeter and Sheridan Revington of Lucan. Dustabout, owned by Charlie Godbolt of Exeter, one of the favorites at the London track a year ago, has failed to finish in the money in a pair of starts. Another local race enthusiast, Tom Year- ley, has sold his promising young pacer, Casey Hal to Joe Hodgins. This horse was shipped al- most immediately after the purchase to the Buf- falo Raceway. MOHAWKS STRENGTHENED Latest developments in the Huron-Perth baseball loop concern the Exeter Mohawks. Although on the losing end of the first three tilts, the Tribe, now attired in new uni- forms, has been strengthened by the addition of three Hensel' players, With the folding of the Listowel junior in- tercounty club, the Hensall battery of Steve Kyle and Bruce Horton have returned to town and are available for duty with the Mohawks.
