Reinsman Finds Pitfalls Alter Driving 70 Years . .?i w Al Snell, 88-year old harness driver, is behind the reins of Doc tor Hilldale, five-year old pacer. Snell has been a harness driver for 70 years. AP Newsfeatures NORWAY, Me. ? By now A1 Snell, 88-year-old harness driver, must realize that the automobile has replaced the one-horse shay. Until recently you couldn't prove it by the Mechanic Falls horseman. After reining the five-year-old pacer, Doctor Hilldale. in a recent five-mile training stint around the Oxford Fair Grounds oval, Snell told of his troubles. He has been training his horses here for a half century and since he took up the harness spurt at 18 he has been a trot driver for 70 years, which is something of a longevity record in the sport. But this spring, Snell failed to get his automobile license and found it difficult to get to the track. In Maine, a person over 80 must take an annual test for a driver's license. Al Snell had another sad story. He had to retire his 13-year-old trotter, Trampholm. He had driven the standardbred for 10 years. Snell says Trampholm was out of the money only once in the past seven years. However, things may be looking up for Snell. Arinand La Pointe of Auburn, owner of Doctor Hilldale, has been transporting ?nell and the horse to the track.

Down The j, SPORTS TRAIL Earl Ruby, Louisville Courier-Journal: Several .writers have become concerned over what they believe is an in crease in golf gambling. . . Actually, I believe organized gambling on the big tournaments is decreasing. Louisville's Lee Read, for instance, succeeded in eliminating the annual Calcutta pool from the last Southern Amateur at New Or leans. "Willie Turnesia recently recalled an incident that hap pened early in his tournament career at the Westchster Country Club. He was about to play a difficult bunker shot when a spectator eased up to horn. 'Concentrate, Willie,' he said, 'I've got $500 riding on you.' . . Willie quietly walked out of the trap and handed the spectator his wedge. "Here, you play it," he said solemnly, "and I'll bet on you." "Skee Riegel of Tulsa said he used to feel a terrific sense of responsibility when he know some of the gallery was wagering heavily on him. But an dldtimer cured him . . . During a heated tournament he heard a spectator tell he veteran how much he had wagered on him. . . The old :odger just grinned. "If you are stupid enough to bet on me," he said, "you lo the worrying. Don't bother me." j Sandy Grady, Charlotte News: On the grease rack sat in Olds 88 club coupe . . . the General Motors people wouldn't consider it in showroom condition. The back seat was out, the interior was smudged with living dirt from a 100 race trackp, the fenders and chrome appeared to have been smitten with sledge hammers. But the gold No. 87 on ihe door was untouched. "See that dent on the end of the rear bumper," said 3uck Baker, who drove that iron beast in the Darlington 100-miler Saturday. "We got that at Raleigh when the rear axle snapped. She just sat up on her end like a top 1 ind spun around in the air. I was just turning it loose, too? Fonty (Flock) had a 17 second lead on me with about 50 laps. I was gaining three seconds a lap when the axle went." Between excursions to the gas pump at his station, Baker explained the times and tribulations of a stock car driver. They aren't he said, toq, bad. ? "The fellow who owns this car, Johnny Griffin from Raleigh, is a good guy. He owns a nightclub and some -estaurants and apartments in Raleigh, and he gets a kick out of racing. So he bought this Olds and keeps it up? J"he money I win is mine," said Buck. "Do most drivers work on a deal like that?" asked a bystander. "No, most Ret 40 per cent of their winnings, with the owner and mechanic taking the other GO. This fellow Griffin, I never know when he's in the stands watching. He pops up all the time. Some times he comes down in the pit and helps change tires. He's just crazy about racing." "Is it good driving that wins, Buck, or just having the faster car?" "Both, I guess. I've got a smart mechanic in that old boy working on the motor. See him?" Baker nodded at a stout young man in white coveralls. "He's Boysy Hagler, just a country boy from Union County. Doesn't smoke or drink, doesn't even like racing. All he thinks about is that motor." "What about racing, Buck?do you figure on staying in it as long as you can?" "Sure. It has paid off for me. It was a rough game when I started off in the modifieds five years ago, when you could expect a fight most every race. It's still tough. But the paydays help out. Like up at Raleigh, a fellow told me. 'Buck, you lost but you put on a good show.' I said, hell mister, I'm no showman, I'm a driver and winning is my business. I found out a long time ago?the guv who runs the fastest, eats the best." ' ? Editor's note?Sandy Grady was formerly a reporter for The Mountaineer.
