The 10-year-old mare, a former Canadian Horse of the Year, was in foal to 1973 Triple’ Crown winner Secretariat for two months at the time she disappeared June 25 from a remote sture at sprawling Clai- rne Farm. Claiborne Farm owner Seth Hancock and Levesque are each putting up half of the reward money, which is “offered to the son or persons furnishing in-: formation leading to the apprehension and conviction of the person or persons responsible for stealing ‘the thoroughbred mare Fanfreluche,” Claiborne spokesman Jim Friess said Monday. The mare’s markings include a small star on her forehead, white socks on the hind ankles and block spats on each coronet, Friess said. .

She last received such a treatment June 22 and was due -for another treatment about July 16, said Dr. Waiter Kaufman, the veterinarian who had been treating the mare. The FBI and state police ‘Jaunched an investigation into the theft, but reported no significant findings. . Friess said that Hancock and Levesque decided to put up the reward after the irivestigation failed to yield any leads.

He is hurt and embarrassed by Mr. Noll’s statement almost on a daily basis.” ‘The clarity of what occurred is equalled only by. its ferocity,” responded Steeler attorney James Martin MacInnis. “It was million, intentional.’’ - The suit stems from an in- cident in a September, 1976, National Football League ame in which Swann was injured when hit by Atkinson. A five-woman, one-man civil juty. was seated before U.S. District Judge Samuel Conti to hear the case, expected to take -two to three weeks. Two days after Swann was injured, Noll told newsmen in Pittsburgh: “You have a criminal ele- ment ‘in every society and apparently we have it in the NEL, too. George Atkinson's hit on Lynn Swann was with intent to maim and not with football in mind. I’d like to see those, guys thrown out of the leauge. They put a guy’s whole career.in Jeopardy.” Also at issue in the trial is a $1 million counterclaim filed by the Steelers for Swann’s injuries inflicted by Atkinson, ‘a nine-year veteran defensive back.

Kisplox came in through. the back door to again meet up with the Dog ‘n’ Suds. In the final game, Terrace unleased their batting power and poured 18 runs over the plate to the Warriettes 1. This meant Dog ‘n’ Suds clinched first place . undefeated and were awarded the tournament trophy. In addition, Sue Mullavey received a trophy — for “Best Infielder’’, and for the second week in a row Gene McKeand received a trophy as “Best Pitcher’. ~ ‘Roughriders, like Riley a Saskatchewan. former assistant, has stuck his neck out bx predicting his team will beat the Bombers. “1 am sure we will win be- cause I know the team I have put together will respond to the challenge of playing Winnipeg and will e ready,’ says Eddy, . knowing that Lancaster is his ace in the hole. Lancaster didn’t play much in the exhibition season as the Roughriders lost ‘all four of their games, but ‘he has that valuable experience and now is an assistant coach as well.

Hufnagel, once with Denver Broncos of the NFL, joined the Stampeders near e end of last season and showed enough promise to get another chance under Gotta, who left Ottawa of the Eastern Football Confer- ence following the 1973 season after the Rough Riders won the Grey Cup.
