POOR TURNOUT FOR RACE MEET With only 160 paid admissions, the race meet staged here yesterday proved a financial disappoint! for horse owners and the sponsoring War Memorial Arena Society alike. But the races themselves were well worth watching, and in an ef- fort to catch the cattle sale crowds, another meet wiil be held Saturday afternoon. z Ten horses, representing four owners, made up yes erday's entry sheets. Of the starters, two were new to local tracks and proved stiff competition. April Day, owned by Wilf Hodgson of Cloverdale with Pievre Squinahan up, took the § furlong second race of the day and finished second in the closing mile Tace, 3 Nupper Tandi, recently purchased by Mrs. L. C. Hannah and Mrs. Bill Pulver, with Spike Hannah up, won the 5 furlong and mile races. This horse is fresh from the coast circuit and slowed its dislike for our way of starting in the second race of the day by balking as the other horses got away. Spike made the circuit three times with the high sirung animal before he could bring it un- der control. Here are the results of the meet: First Race, % mile, Cariboo Bred — 1, Chief Alkali, jockey Clarence Twan, owner Clarence Twan; 2, Midnight, Louis Bates, F. © R.

Len Woed And Major Awards At Show -You couldn’t blame big Len Wood, Armstrong breeder, for being proud of his stock an of the judging at the 16th annual sale yesterday afternoon.

But those that attended receiyea their money's worth, and as the word gets around, the show should prove a sell-out tonight. Opening the bill last night were Glen Fox of San Fernando, Oalifor- ula, and Al Fridel of Seattle. The two evenly matched fighters went 26 minutes to the first fall, time enough for the fans to take a hearty ‘dislike to! iad man Fox, who résor = ed to. such time-honoured tricks as roughing his opponent along the ropes, and grabbing a handful vf hair when referee McKay wasn't looking. The first fall went to him after he had effectively subdued F:i- del by using his neck as a lever an: tossing him to the canvas thre> times. The cateslls from the gallery turn ed to cheers after the break as Fridei took just 30 seconds to throw Fox and then almost flatten him as he deposited his 202 pounds in a fiying leap on the horizontal villain, Bill Kohnke and the Masked Mar- vel from Minneapolis split their feature event with one fall apiece in one hour of fighting.
