aminer Friday h4 Apprentice in name only By ED HARPER Chay They call him the Wonder Boy and at loyears ofage he sure is wonder refer to Steve Cauthens the boy jockey who is leading all the jockeys of the nation this year If he continues the pace he has been setting he will likely set an alltime record or most winning rides in season Young Steve has been booting home winners most days in bunches of three four and some days even more He has ridden more than 125 winners to date What makes young boy like this so outstanding as jockey believe it is mostly confidence in himself and lot of nerve But whatever it is Cauthens has it and hope that he keeps it for years to come lot of apprentice jockeys ride well when they have the weight allowance but when the lose their bug and become full fledged jockeys they ont seem to have what it takes and fall by the wayside believe that the great start that Cauthens has made in his chosen profession shows that he wont be another flash in the pan Even though he has the apprentice weight allowance he has shown the experts that he is capable of rating horse he is good judge of pace and is not afraid ii to take chance alon the rail He has all the quali ications to be great rider There have been many great jockeys down through the years such as Eddie Arcaro whom most top jockeys claim was the best of them all In his prime he was terrific rider He could do ust about anything that could be done one horse and it well Among Eddies accomplishments was riding two Triple Crown winners Whirlaway in 1941 and Citation in 1948 Eddies intelligence carried over into his riding he sat on horse well and he looked the part of jockey as well as be inga reatone Jac Westrope was great rider and he led the nation back in 1933 He had all the attributes of Eddie Arcaro but was wilder and more headstrong than Eddie Then there was Johnny Adams short stocky jockey SE with unusual strength He very seldom used the whip on gorse he just handrode them and he got lot of run out of orse Adams was leading rider three times during his career He could win from the front or come from behind He sure was one of the alltime greats Flyers turn on power against Hornets LOOking gOO to take commanding 31 lead in series By PAUL DELEAN The Barrie Flyers appear to be coming together as unit in time to make serious run at the League championship and the Allan Cup The team came up with sparkling effort Thursday to crush the Cambridge Hornets 71 at the Barrie Arena and take 31 lead in the bestofseven OHA Senior League quarterfinal series It could end Saturday in Cambrid and some of the Flyers are convinced it will if team fort similar to Thurs days is repeated We can beat them down there said goalie Ernie Miller If were up for it they re beaten offered Bob Baird It was certainly no contest last night The Flyers jumped into 30 lead in the first period and upped it to 51 by the end of the second Barrie dominated Cambridge in every department with passmg particular strongpoint The Flyers were con Sistently finding the open man or men and 2on1 and 3on1 breaks on Hornet goalie Bob Dupuis were frequent oc currence The Flyers defence on the other hand provided Miller With good protection and the forwards stuck to their checks The guys made them shoot long shots Miller said after the game Indeed most of Cambridges 39 shots came from well outlBarrie peppered Dupuis with 56 shots and the game might have been complete rout without his acrobatics Phil Branston led the Flyer attack with pair of goals Singles going to Paul Regan Wayne Carleton Darryl Sly George Milner and Baird The only line that didnt score was the Jon Hammond Robbie Ralph Gary MacMillan trio but it wasnt for lack of chances Ralph hit goalpost deadon after superb pass ing play in the second period On the evidence of Thursdays game the Flyers now have three strong forward lines They definitely have Wayne Carleton and thats enough to give any opponent nightmares Nobody manhandles Carleton on the ice or out skatcs him He was going concern again Thursday with his playmak ing And nothing calls on goaltenders courage like Carleton slapshot Dupuis was little slow getting up after blocking couple in the later periods Branston opened the scoring at 519 of the first period with arleton clicking after solo rush through maze of sticks and skates at 1004 Baird eluded defenceman and slid backhander past the Hornet netminder at 1248 to end the firstperiod scroing At 108 of the second frame the score rose to 40 It ap peared at first that Paul Regan has deflected Slys shot from the point but he was just diverting Dupuis Slys shot got through intact It was the second goal of the year for the Barrie coach who played strong aggressive game anchor ing the Flyers defence Both against Cambrid Milners first goal of the season came on first of his three shifts in the game He was off balance just up off his knees when Carleton rebound uirted to him in scram ble He beat Dupuis to the glove si Millers shutout was lost at 18113 when Tim Holder got second chance at rebound with the Flyer netminder down Regans goal and Branstons second came 31 seconds apart in the 18th minute of the third period Fans and Flyers were incensed by an elbow that Dave Peace applied to OHA scoring schampion Regan in the first period It caught the Flyer centre completely unprepared while the two were in close quarters after freezing the puck The blow sent Regan to the ice That didnt sit well with Les Burgess of Barrie who followed Peace toward the penalty box No fights ensued but both benches cleared Burgess got lominute misconduct Peace five minutes for elbowing NOTES Defenceman Jack Smith didnt dress for Barrie due to death in the family Miller was sharp particularly in the first period Im playing lot better than was when first got back thought was jinxed there for while Now Ive got my confidence back The new players make dif ference he said Gary Lyte playing with brace over an injured knee was hurting but aggressive He quipped that his hitting was intended to let them know Im back large delegation of Cambridge fans got propgressively quieter as the game went

to mention two Canadians who have made history as jockeys in recent years Ron Iurcotte and Sandy Hawley Ron was burning up the tracks with the horses he was riding on the Ontario circuit before he went to the United States to ly his ability He is st known for his rides on Secretariat in the Triple Crown Ron is ver good jockey and is rated with the tops in the world and he is always among the
