Jules Giguere, Oshawa Dairy, gamely going along on the bottom of the heap, claimed their first win of. the season last night when City Hall failed to field a full team. In the games that were ac- tually played, Firefighters de- feated Revnolds at Baker's Park 13-7 and Foley's whipped Post Office 18-11, at Cowan Park. Highlight of the game at Cowan Park was that Myrtle scores being turned in every Sunday morning at the Union Rod and Gun Club range. Team No. $ under Captain Pete Troski are again on top by the slim margin of one more broken bird than Team No. 2, who have 617 broken birds. The number of points are the same: 25 each. Team No. 1 under Cap- tain Doug Branton are ahead of Team No. 4 by 3 points and 5 well broken birds, bird broken was masterfully carried out -- no chips -- all Team No. 1 under Captain Doug Branton, broke 84 birds, and Doug and Stan Starr both broke 23-out-of-25. Curly Tomlin- son was down a little with a 21- out-of-25. Bill Powell, who miss- ed his ride to the range, and had to. make it by bicycle to shoot, and then borrow a gun, that the other shooters were dis- appointed by having no Captain or disappointed with their team effort. Don Henry, who thought he was going to shake that 21 score, had to be contented with his usual 21-out-of-25 score, on his last shot at the doubles, he missed the high house. Sid Ra Knowlton, who never stops try-|twin ing to improve, and so never turns in a real bad score, broke 21-out-of-25. Jiggs Harlock had most welcome! NEW BELTING FO) track ait july 8.

Captain Rick (Where Sheridan, Captain of Team No. 4 did not make an appearance Sunday morning, which was a big disappointment to that team. Captain Pete Troski, Captain of Team No, 3 again turned in a perfect score of 25-out-of-25 broken birds. Nelson Starr had 23 broken birds out of 25, but in the next practice round shoot- ing a 20 gauge, broke 25-out-of- 25. Roy Fleming had 21-out-of- 25 broken birds. Roy Balson had 20-out-of-25 broken birds. He Harper, of 83 Avenue street, Oshawa, won the P.O. 50-50 draw. In the diamond play, Foley's scored five runs in the first in- ning and eight more in the sec- ond as Post Office failed com- pletely, in defensive strength. They did well on the attack, themselves, with five runs in each of the first two frames, for a 13-10 score. After that, it levelled out but Foley's scored in every inning to earn their win while Post Office got only two races, must plav it back in] the next two to collect. !

It's. assumed that if Jules weren't so accident-prone he'd a $30,000 a year as a And while Georges admits rather modestly that others have to put his ideas down on per, he should add that his $s are what count, RESTORED HEATS For example, during the spring meet an outbreak of virus reduced the number of fit horses and threatened to cur- tail the racing. This would have meant less revenue. But Georges revived the running of races in heats. The customers didn't mind seeing the same horses again' as long as they could place their wagers. And while the mutual handle fell below last year's $15,738,283 it remained respectably close to that figure and a long way from the $400,000 wagered at Mont- real tracks when Georges first became secretary at Richelieu 13 years ago. The h in those years is evidence that track officials knew what they were after RACING BROTHERS Georges Giguere (left) and his brother Jules avidly pur- sue careers in harness. racing. Georges, 46, is racing secre- tary at Montreal's Richelieu Park and vice-president of Ca- when they said they didn't care about education, they wanted someone. who knew harness racing. "Well, I knew about that okay," says Georges. "I've been in this business since I was a little fellow." The Gigueres grew up in a family of 13 children. Jules and Georges were introduced to horses as toddlers by their late father, Pierre (Pete) Giguere, a trainer. When the Depression hit in the '30s the boys quit school to join their father full time. Georges drove in his first race soon afterward, guiding a mare named Bertha Gray in three heats, winning the first and placing second in the other two.

In 1949 he won 148 races, 20 more than the great Joe from Prince Edward Island, but Georges was unhappy because everyboly was talking about O'Brien and "nobody mentioned me." Jules, the quiet, diffident one of the two brothers, has also been a successful driver. He was eight times champion of the Quebec City meet. But his problem. is accidents. "Any time Jules doesn't get hurt in a race the family throws a party," says Georges. His worst accident was in 1954 in a four-horse pileup in Quebec City. Jules was thrown against the inner rail, breaking his back. For three years: he drove with a steel-ribbed corset.
