Sugar Jim Henry, hockey goal tender deluxe, is returning from Cornwallis to H.M.C.S. Teeumseh where he will receive Nelson Shatters Course Record In Canadian Test Cards Nine-Under-Par 63 to Toke Six Stroke Lead ISLESMERE GOLF CLUB, June 8 (CP) Byron Nelson, Toledo's champion par-buster, set a new course record here Thursday by blasting out a nine-under-par 63 to carry a six-stroke edge into today's socond round of the $10,000 C.P.G.A. open. The previous record of 65 was held by Stan Home of Islemere.

His closest rivals in Thursday's opening, Harold (Jug) McSpaden and Jimmy Hines, finished six strokes off the pace set by Nelson as they carded 69's. CROSBY AT TOURNEY his discharge. For the past two years Henry has stopped pucks for the Navy sextet in the Alberta Service Senior league and was one of the outstanding performers. Hw "A He's Trying Again Alberta riders have had fair success with the daddy of all race classics the Kentucky Derby and tomorrow at Churchill Downs, Jockey Georgie Woolf, who has had a leg up on the winner of almost every import race, will be making another attempt to add the elusive Derby to his string of successes. Smoky Saunders rode Omaha to victory in the 1935 run for the roses and that year Woolf was tenth aboard a horse called Commonwealth.

Woolf didn't have a mount the day Johnny Longden won with Count Fleet in 1943, but to-morrow the Alberta developed jockey will be making his ninth attempt to win the Derby and this time he'll have a leg up on Sea Swallow. As a two-year-old Sea Swallow started 15 times, won three races, was twice second and once third and his earnings were $17,694. Jockey Woolf first made a Derby bid in 1932 when he was eighth with Gallant Sir. After the Commonwealth race he was last under the wire with Billionaire in 1936 and two years later he was seventh with Co-Sport Pictor trailed the field in 1940 but then the Alberta race rider came mighty close. In the 1941 race Woolf had Staretor second to the great Whirlaway.

He was ninth with Holly, wood in the 1942 race and last year, when Pensive won the gold cup, Woolf had Broadcloth in for the place, four and a half lengths back of the winner. ill i AIR SAILOR, owned by T. D. Buhl, is one of the Kentucky Derby choices this year. Air Sailor, son of Sweep Like-Miss Morocco, started 11 times last year and won seven, finishing second three times.

He won $32,019. Smart Derby Field Alan Harvey's Canadian Snapshots Mifc TORONTO, June 8 (CP) that the average Canadian prisoner of war will become just another case history in a hospital filing cabinet should take a good, long look at Fit. Lt. A. N.

So far most of the attention has gone to Jeep, Pot o' Luck, Alaxis and Hoop Jr. And of the four Pot o' Luck had the best juvenile year with $53,180 in purses won. Hoop Jr. won a little over $5,000, and Jeep bested $11,000, while Alexis shot his winnings to $31287.

But two-year-old form doesn't mean a great deal when the thoroughbreds move to Derby class. Some don't develop till then and others failed to show a lick after appearing to be world-beaters as juveniles. Sea Swallow will be up against real opposition tomorrow, but Albertans will be polling for him to give Georgie Woolf that first Derby victory.

Sun Stream Wins Classic Oaks NEWMARKET. June 8 i I He starred with the Red Deer A-16 Army team and was voted the most valuable player in the league.

Sugar Jim rose to promi-nenee in 1941 when he performed with the Regina Rangers. The Rangers waltzed through all the opposition in the senior ranks that i year to win the Allan up and Henry had a lot to do with then-successes. TURNED PRO The following season he left the amateur ranks for the big time and guarded the. twine for the New York Rangers. The step up into faster company didn't have any effect on the cool custodian who turned in a scintillating season.

In 1943 when the Ottawa Commandos won the Allan Cup they boasted such top notch stars as Shibicky. Colville, Kamprnan and a guy named Henry. In the final series with Victoria Army, Henry rose to great heights and defrosted the hot goal hungry West Coast team. IN NAVY GOAL This past year Sugar Jim had a weak Navy club in front of him and he saw more rubber flying his way than a tire agent. Although the opposition piled up some large scores Henry was superb in every game and stopped pucks from aii angles.

Now that he has received his walking papers and will return to civvies it is likely that he will return to the New York Ranger fold and plug the big hole that has troubled Lester Patrick since Henry left in 1942.

Ky June (AP) Sixteen three-year-olds, including one filly and two geldings, were listed today as probable starters in the 71st Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs tomorrow. With the entry list still open, names of all the expected nominees were in.

The only change from yesterday's probable field was the definite withdrawal of the Canadian-owned racer, H. C. Hatch's Fair Jester, as continued rains threatened to make the going heavy for the first time since 1929. If all face the starter tomorrow, it will be the richest Derby in history with a gross value of $86,875, of which the winner will receive a net of 564,850. QUESTION MARKS There is a possibility that one or two will not start unless the track is in better shape than it was today after 36 hours of rain.

E. R. Bradley's Burning Dream was one of the question marks with the final decision to be by the 85-year-old turfman himself. Kenilworth Lad. from Tom Graham's Kenilworth Farm, also may not start if the racing strip is unusu-: ally heavy.

rair Jesters trainer, Cecil Howard, said his colt couldn't stand up in the going and he didn't want to clutter up the field. With Fair Jester out of the race, Bobby Watson, originally slated to ride the Hatch stable entry, was listed as rider for an- other Canadian racer, Tom Graham's Kenilworth Lad, which had been the only probable starter listed without a boy earlier in the day. trainer Phil Rose entered both Kenilworth farm horses, the Lad i and Bert G. Bobby Summers of Winnipeg will be up cn Bert i biggest horse in the race. quoted at 4-to-l each, Darbv Dieppe at 6-1, Fighting Step.

Burning Dream and Air Sailor at 10-1. Alexis at 12-1 and Sea Swallow p.t 15-1. The others were rated distinct outsiders. A terrific rain swept the Downs yesterday, but stopped shortly before noon. It auicklv marie the racing strip fetlock deep in mud, brincine to mind the 1929 victorv of little Clyde Van Dusen, which wallowed to victory' through splashing mud and water.

Unless more ram falls today, or tonight, the track undoubtedly will drain off, making it slow if not muddy. jStrathmore Curlers CANADA LTD (CP)-Lord Derby's heavily i ri kj Qr backed Sun Stream today won the I tietl new Oaks, One of British'8 five classic By Herald cormpomfent horse races.
