Evergreen Figure
LIE is still a popular figure and can bring the crowd to its feet. Veteran Phil ' O'Shea proved this at the Christchurch St. Patrick's sports meeting. For many years Phil was the idol of the Canterbury public through merit of performance, and though his familiar figure has not been so much before the crowd of recent seasons, he is stil l the, subject of much hero-worship. He still retains a lot of his old pace, but it was sheer headwork which accounted for his spectacular win m the. final of the mile and a-half cycle handicap.
