ns SN: RO ec ee Se IT ore 22 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, March 25, 1964 Craig Hopes Deal Earl Avery Plans To Drive Horses Another 10 Years N.B. (CP)-- Earle Br Brediord "Avery, the for- mer potato inspector who _be- came one of the world's best harness racing drivers, has al- ways insisted he'll il retin to the peaceful St. John River valley when he retires. And since he's 70, the first inclination is to expect he'll be home soon. But Woodstock-area residents aren't holding their breath. Realistic folk know they're more likely to see him in a sulky at one of the major U.S..or European tracks For last year was perhaps Avery's best in 45 years of racing and he let it be known he intends to be bouncing over the ovals for another 19 years at least. It was a@ remark that prompted Norman Woolworth, owner of Clearview Stables,| eral others, he's had his share of good fortune in recent months. Last Oct. 1 he drove Meadow Skipper to a 1:55 1-5 mile, a world record for three - year olds. Other well - known horses Avery piloted to wins during the season included Muncy Hanover, two-time world cham- pion that copped honors in the Palisades Mile at.. Yonkers Raceway May 25 with a time of 2:00 2-5. At the same track Aug. 8 Avery drove Porter- house to a 2:00 3-5 victory in the $25,000 Kimberley Trot. The Harness Horse Writers of America presented him with the Good Guy Trophy as the horseman most co-operative with sports writers during the year. And a few days after ag Winthrope, Me., to say: "Youjmas, on his return here fro: mean I'm going to have to put|his 'winter residence at Pine- up with him for another 10 years?" Woolworth was joking, of course, because it's no secret} that the owner-driver partner-| ship that has existed since 1955) is an ideal one. hurst,N.C., Avery was honored at Earle Avery Day. A tele- gram from Governor John H. Reid of Maine described him las "one of the finest harness race drivers in the world." There's some question about Avery has been in Europe in| when Avery was first drawn to recet months and although hee racing. He says it all But Lorne Britton, a longtime resident of the district, has a different version. "We all seem to get the har- ness bug at one time or an- other," he says, 'but Earle Avery got it the day he was born, In any case, local horsemen recall when Avery broke into|he was pitching for the. New the sport, driving over St. John River ice, and one recalls the) first race he ever won' Allan Poole was racing, on the same card in 1919--first year of operations at Woodstock's Is- land Park Raceway -- when Avery drove Black Peter to a five-heat win. The day the $250 stallion from Houlton, Me., was to race, Avery's wife was having .a baby. The 25-year-old Avery| rode Black Peter into town for! ST. PETERSBURG, Fila. (AP)--Roger Craig, baseball's biggest loser for the last two years, was telling about a heck- ler. "Tt was at a banquet this win- ter," the St.Louis right-hander said. "This guy got up and he was riding me pretty good. Heck, I'm not ashamed of the jway I pitched and I couldn't |stand this guy taking me apart. So I just got up and said: "You know, I'm the only two- time 20-game loser who got a raise both years.' | "That quieted him down." | Craig uses the story to illus- |trate how. he kept his head while | York Mets. In 1962 Craig had a 10-24 record. Then things got |worse, Last season he was 5-22, \tying a National League record ©! by losing 18 games in a row and ltying a major league record by \losing five 1-0 games, He ca to the Cardinals in a a to his farm, |drove the doctor. back to town sland went on to the race. First prize was a blanket but he also Brings Him Luck a trade for outfielder George Altman. Craig, now 33, said pitching for the Mets made him a better pitcher. "I had to benefit from it," he said. "I pitched against all] the good teams and had to bear down all the time. But I don't even think about the streak any- more, There aren't going to be any | ,No. 13s around 'here for me.' That referred to the number Craig wore on his uniform late last season in an_ effort to \change his bad luck. Craig said he would prefer to be a starter, 'but if the Cards want me in the bullpen, I wouldn't mind. I can pitch} every four days no matter what. I think they got me be- cause I could do both. If I could start all year, I could win 15] games.' Craig is hoping that his third| switch of uniforms brings about) the same result as the first two.| "I came up in 1955 and we | won the pennant in Brooklyn.| In 1959 I came back from the| minors and we won the pennant! in Los Angeles.
