Preparations for the big Coron- ation Day race meet at Agricultur- al Park are in full swing . andl a program' is assured to match the excellent meets which the Goderich Race Association staged last sum- mer. Entries in almost all fields are complete and so large was the entry in the 2.30 pace that this race has been split into two divi- sions. That will mean - a total of 12 heats to be run off, beginning at post -time, 1.30 p.m. Besides the 2.30 pace, there will be a 2.25, 2.23, 2.20 pace and the feature free-for-all. The track committee has been working overtime to bring the oval up to top condition and the num- erous horsemen training there re- port that it is weeks ahead of the ordinary track at this time of the year. In the review of horse talent at the Goderich track published last week, a couple of mistakes crept into the column. One the writer will admit to making—that of say- ing Valuable Doc. Bud Jerry's new entry, was a six-year-old pacer. He is only on his fourth year of life. The other mistake will have to be blamed on other causes. We wrote that Miss Callie Grattan was a familiar figure at the Goderich track but that George Feagan's four-year-old. Pearl Lee was seen only rarely last year. Somehow a line was left out. throwing a dif- ferent light on the sentence. CLUB SOLD James Case has sold the Huron Chief Club to Mr., and Mrs. Alf Smith. formerly of London.

Dismiss Charge of Wounding Animal Charged with unlawfully wound- ing an animal, Floyd McCullough, no fixed abode, was acquitted be- fore Magistrate D. E. Holmes, Q.C.,, in police court here last Thursday. McCullough pleaded not guilty to wounding a heifer valued at 5200 and belonging to Thomas Cassels, Wingham, on May 5. Mrs. Cassels told the toilet she saw the accused come to the door of her house on the day in ques- tioq and said that she ' did not answer his knock. She said that she believed the accused went into a stable behind the house. She saw the accused leave the premises an hour later and that his clothing appeared mussed and his shoes dirty. Mr. Cassels said that while com- ing home he noticed the accused on the street rolling up the cuffs of his pants. When he arrived home, he said, his wife told him that a man hadapparently been in the stable. Upon investigating, he said, he found things disar- ranged in the stable and blood on the heifer. He called police and the veterinarian. Constable S. S. Jeffries told of finding McCullough in downtown Wingham and described tools with which the offence was alleged to have been committed. Dr. Ken- neth M. McClennan, Wingham vet- erinarian, told of examining the heifer and finding it injured. Pathologist Testifies Dr. J. L. Pennister, Stratford, provincial . pathologist, told of ex- amining tools taken from the barn and the accused's clothing. He said a trace of blood was found on the accuseu's shirt. McCullough, who said he had been released from jail in Gode- rich the morning of the day - the alleged offence took place, said he had been drinking and went to the Cassels, house in search of more liquor. The accused admitted going into the barn, but said he remembered - seeing only a car and never saw any cattle there. He said he thought he was in the barn about. 10 minutes and as ne came out, staggered and fell. McCullough said he noticed one of his fingers was scratched and that there was blood on his hand. Summing up -the case, Magis- trate Holmes said that there was strong circumstantial evidence of guilt, but not enough for a convic- tion. He said that it was possible the accused could have committed the- crime, but that the evidence did not bear that out. Crown Attorney 11. Glenn Hays, Q.C., agreed that the case was based on strong circumstantial evidence but . felt ' that there was enough evidence to warrant a con- viction. The accused was represented by John Graham, who was appointed to give free legal aid by the Huron County Law Association. WHY PAY MORE?

TeECalvert SPORTS eoLoMN 4 56*(47e/1444a A legend of professional sport died when, in the most amazing sport upset of • the 1953 Stanley Cup series, the, powerful all-star Detroit Red Wings were humbled, and knocked out of hockey's classic by the no -stars Boston Bruins. The legend is that all professional sports managers possess rasping tongues, acid vocabularies, that they drive their charges mercilessly by torrents of abuse and threats. It's a legend that has gained through imaginative fiction, but if it ever was true, and we believe it we/ correct, only -in some isolated instances, it doesn't hold in professional hockey today. A player may be sharply reprimanded in private for some misdoing, some breach of training rules, but intelligent analysis and conferences in which coach and manager submit their plans and discuss these with the players, have replaced old-fashioned and out-moded bullying, if this ever existed generally. This legend of managerial abuse Was punctured right in the Detroit Red Wing camp. Jack Adams, former playing star, who as a manager has been one of hockey's greatest builders, is aw fighting leader. He is forthright, he is experienced, he doesn't hesitate to speak his mind. Indeed, he has the repu- tation, outside his club, of being a hard driver. Before the second -last game of. the Bruin -Red Wing series, a game played in Detroit, it was apparent the grist Red Wing machine was grinding its gears. Bruins had already won three games. Another defeat would 'put Wings out of the series. Jack Adams coiled for a players' conference. There were those, on the fringe, who thought that ths"Wing leader would rant, roar, abuse the players, seek td inspire them by threats. But, as it turned out, .Adams talked to his players as a kindly - father might talk to a beloved son who had slightly misbehaved. As he talked, the Sanley Cup stood in the room -with him. And Adams said, quietly, sincerely: "This Stanley Cup is yours now. _ ,You.won it _Iasi spring .and - you. w --there's fun in .. winning it. Every kid in Canada wants his name on it. You're the greatest team today and your names should be on it. But a third place team is on the verge of preventing that. I want you to know that no matter what:happens tonight, you are still my boys and you're the best boys I know on and off the ice." No threats, no abuse. But the psychological appeal of the quiet Adam's speech was far stronger than .any fulminations d'ould have been. There wasn't a -.dry eye in the Wing dressing- room.- And Wings went out, fought furiously, won the game, kept their hopes alive until thele were snuffed out by the driv- i;,; Bruins in Boston two nights later. The days of abusive leaders are over in orofessional hockey, if they ever existed. in hockey today, the potential awards are too great, the athletes playing a game that cohi€titufiis a career in itself and a springboard to the future ere too aware of •these facts tp require, or ,perhaps to tolerate, the driving, abusive, biustering Coach pictured in flctien.
