Badminton Tournament Gets Underway

Ths Prince Edward Island Bad- minton Closed Tournament, which got. underway at the- Charlotte- town Armouries last evening, was the scene of much keen lcompcti- tion as players from Charlottetown snd Sumrnersidc battledthelr way into second round play, and ad- vanoed into semi-final play in the men's doubles.

One of the outstanding matches of the night was in the mens singles, when Bill Stewart, a four- feen-yesr-old entry from Sum- merside suffered a 15-11. 15-8 (It feat from S. Lancaster of Char- lottetown, in a'closeiy contested match which brought much com- ment from the spectators, and a1- though lacking the more expert- enced sklll of his opponent, show- ed much promise as a future star in badminton circles.

The tourney. which will con- tinue on through Saturday after- noon snd evening should provide plenty of court skill for badmin- ton enthusiasts, and if yesterday's play is any indication of what is to come, there will be plenty ot upsets befors the finals are 00111- pleted.

Former Summerside Junior Gets Bid From Chicago Black Hawks

Sports followers in Bumlmerside and vlclrllty will be harppy to learn that Dillon MoNally, a non of Mr. and Mrs. Philip McNally of this town. has been signed by the Chicago Black Hawks and will report to their training camp in Regina next fall. Dillon is now playing with the Oakvillc, 0nt., junior team.

Among those most pleased to learn of his chance to make the hi] time are his former team- mates on the Kinsmen Juvenile team that won the Maritime ‘championship in 1946. and their coach. Charlie Hogan. This was the first hockey team to be spon- sored by the Summerside Kins- men Club and Dillon was the star defenceman of the team. ,

Mr. Hogan said last night that

he was a very co-operative player, always listened to instruction and advice at all times and gave all that was in him. l-lis success is the first important result of the Kinsmen program to encourage yolmg athletes and shows the value of taking boys when they are young and giving them proper coaching. The work that tllc Kins- men are doing ls now ta-ken for granted and sometimes the boys expect too much, but the players on that first team were in a bet- ter position to realize what was beifl 0&0 hi‘ thsl.

Dillon is one of a family of six boys and four girls. He vrill alp- parently complete this season with the Oakvillr- team‘. l-le is twenty years of age. -

Tao i:“.l.:r members of the Oak- ville iwm were signed up at the same time. ' s

{ii-ii I went out to see llow they had weathered the 16 deg below ZBIO stuff. 1 found the two covey's fighting over who shfillid hi" first go at the feed. They were chasing each other over the snow and staging quits a battle, Both coveys are in prime condition and when they take to wing they so with the speed of thunder bolts. I believe the best policy is to con- centrate on a specific covey or concentration of coveys and make certain they pull through the winter instead of jumping all over the place trying to save them all. Faun-era and their families are doing a noble job in feeding the birds and if it were not. for thdl’ untlring efforts we'd have a IQ crop of Huns this coming fall.

To fully realize the grim severity of this present winter and to fully understand how hard our wild- life are having it one has to get away ‘from the compartive comfort and shelter or the city and seek out some out of the way erea at. the rear of some farm on a. below zero evening and wait there until a. winter moon rides the sky and the trees snap with the frost like pistol shots. Then, and then only, will one wonder how any of our game birds survive at all.

The Huns are lucky this winter in one respect they hav'nt any Snowy owls to harrnss them. At least this scribe has not observ- ed any nor has any been reported to date. Mr. Calder our local Taxidclmist had not received a single specimen for mounting up until the 1st of the week.

One regrettable fact is the large number of partridge killed by the trains. Tralrmen have reported over ‘l0 l-luns killed on the West- crn run over a t-wo week period.

The establishing of large plies of shore sand and gravel at con- venient inland points (luring the sumlmer and early fall will tend to halt the mirgrution of covey's,
