Loses Five Horses
In Montreal Fire
Vic Lutinan, who began his
horse racing career in Exeter,
lost five horses in the $8'0Q,Q00
fire which swept through the
barns at Richelieu Park,' Mont
real, on Wednesday.
Twenty-five horses were killed
and 200 others stampeded when
the blaze wiped out- almost the
entire harness-racing plant.
Lutman began to train and
drive horses when he lived here
and later took up the sport as a
full-time career. He owned the
five horses, including Pandora’s
Lady, Thomas Song and Perry
man, and was training them at
the Montreal Park. His home is
now in Toronto.

NEW SCHEDULES WERE PRINTED last week, replacing those
distributed a couple of weeks ago. The Keglers and Whizz Bangs
traded places in their respective divisions, making new schedules
more of a personal foible rather than an absolute necessity. You’d
never know it to read this column but we prefer doing things with
out mistakes. The Friday night teams should now use a yellow
schedule, the Monday night teams a green one.
*****
WE WERE VERY MUCH IN FAVOR of the eight-man team rule
which came into effect this year. We thought it would eliminate
the necessity of teams bowling short-handed. It doesn’t, it seems.
Of course, it is early in the season, but there have been several
instances of teams bowling with five men and, in one case, four.
It Is in the interest of every team and every bowler to field
a full team, especially with cups and playoff spots at stake this
year more than ever before. Sure, you can say “We won’t win the
cup anyway—we just bowl for the fun of it.” Well, so do we all—
and some get a lot of fun out of winning the Kist Cup or the
Labatt Trophy. So remembejr that when you “give away” points by
bowling short-handed . . . Try to get your team out in force!
*****
WERE IN THE CLOTHING BUSINESS we’d be strongly
to get a line on the number of teams desiring bowling
shirts, give them a reasonable offer on quantity orders, and make
a pile of dough. Most of the teams in the league do not have a
team shirt. The ones'that do have them, you’ll note, include some
of the most interested bowlers in the league.
We understand the Big Six have new bowling shirts on order.
They had to get them. Last year the half dozen lost their shirts
to the Pinpoppers so many times the garments would not stand the
wear and tear of another year. This year, however, the Big Six did
beat their
them, but
rivals on “handicap night”. They might get shirts to fit
hats—never!
*****
___ COMMENT: Len Dilkes, who bowled for the Short Cir
cuits last year, is bowling for the Long Shots this year. It’s our j
guess that Len is AC and the Short Circuits are DC. Or maybe he ;
prefers long shots to short circuits ... 1
