The Ha risburg Sale will be ghootinz or the million dollar mark or over for the fifth straight year and it is expected that the horses sold from the estate of W. N, Reynolds of Winston-Salem. N. c,, will bring between 3150 and 5300 thousand. possibly more.

The death of tliree well known owners during the recent racing season has caus- ed nziier dispersals. The veteran paclnz stallion Indian band 1.59 4.1, that has been one of the biiiszesv. winners of all time. will be sriii there.

TORONTO. Nov. 2 -(GP) .. Conn Smythe. President at the Toronto Maple beats of the Nat- ional Hockey League. announced wday Danny Lewicki and Ray Tlmgren are being sent to Pitts- burgh Hornets to make room for rookies Rudy Migay Ind Bob Solinger. . 4

Migay and Solinger were recall- cd from Pittsburgh of the Amer- ican Hockey League yes erday, Both played for the Lea s last night iin Montreal.

Leiuicki may cause some trouble for the Leaf front office. He's al- ready indicated he won't report to Pittsburgh.

"If he doesn't show in Pitts- burgh tomorrow night he will be Suspended." Smythe said.

Timgren has scored one goal in 118 llamas; anil Lewicki one goal in 25 games, following an Injury last year.

being the driver with the best Universal Driver Rating System average at the Saratoga Springs fall meeting with .389. Six times a Saraioga Summer champion. he has never been able to capture the Fall crown before but with a big public stable headed by the fleet pacers Congress Lad 2.03 3-5 and Direct Vic 2.06 1-5. he had 20 wins. 10 seconds and 5 thirds in 70 il'ips to the Starting Gate. Aubrey Rodvney first came into the real limelight in 1912 when he won the principal stakes on the Grand Circuit with the trot- ter Baden 2.0514 by Bingara. That fall Baden was sold for a report; ed price of s30.000 to the Russian Government. Rodney. never tc our recollection. equalled that sea.son's glories on the Raging Grand because the top horses went to such drivers as Tommy Murphy. Walter Cox, Lon Mac- Donald. Dick McMahon and oth- cr, but during the past few sea- sons he has made his headquart- cm at S-aratoga where he is ex- tremely well liked and has been very successful. He is no chicken as years go but seems quite at home in night racing with the many younger drivers he is up against.

The biggest pacing event in Europe. the Prix D'Amerique. which will be held at Vinccnnes. France. in the near future will carry a record purse of 1.000.000 francs. the largest amount ever paid for a trotting race in France. However. although this seems an enormous sum to us yet with the franc selling on the black market for less than two cents it figures out one-fiftieth of the amount of the purse if converted into dol- lars. The old gold franc was val- ued at 25 cents. That was pre- World War 1 and that wniiid have made the purse worth about s2'.50.000. Only mares and stallions aged four years old and up are eligible: 15: start in the above race.

The horsas Good Time and Sampson Hanover were recently flown from Yonkers Raceway to Hollywood rk, California, to take part in the racing there. We understa-hid bhe cost was in the viointltty of 32.500, which would be somewhat higher than the express freight. rate but the speed of the trip was worth the difference in price. Another horse that has been flown there since is the trotter Pron-to Don and others are going by the slower method of express cars. so that in the near future we will be hearing of some v feet miles trotted or paced at the California oval.

her. Late season Huns are adorn- ed with high coloured markings and have a velvety, weighty feel not found in birds taken early in

the season. 0 U The kill on all species have been heavy this season with local hunt-- er: accounting for the lion's share. ftcgaisdless of rumours that visit- ing hunters killed the bulk of the game brought down this season our own local-nimrods haven't got to take a back seat from anyone when it comes to spraying the at- mosphere with hot lead . . . . and they can spray it where it will do the most good (or harm - which- ever waf one looks at it). Methinks when it comes. to outwittlng the cagey cock pheasants its the farm youth, with a -yen for hunting, who take top honours. . .

This Week I met a young farm lad who was a'hui-iting bent. He has a Pointer who shows great promise as an up-and-coming pheasant dog, He told me that he and two hunting companions shot 27 cock pheasants this season They'll probably make it 35 or 40 before the season ends on Nov- ember 10th. (The 11th falls on Sundayi. He informed me that they were harder to get as the sea- son progressed but there were lots

left.

He didn't have to tell me that there were lots left -. Ix knew it already. On Thursday of this weel: a young countryman out after pheasants counted 20 in one stub- ble field 10 cocks and 10 hens. To quote his own expression: "They flew across the river and I never got one". Anyone who bags a cock pheasant today earns it.

We chatted for a few minutes. He told me that this hooded nnn' made his fortietli duck shot l.IlliI season. Three of the 30 were teizli and the rest blacks. He was carry-' ing an old patched up single bar relled shotgun and I asked how come he shot so many. He replied: "I know where all the holes are. and I keep going, in them evcrm day". I was sorry ii-hen he went away as I was gathering lots of iii- formation. but, as he said him- self: "Ill have to go and look up me two tbrudders' before it gets dark". I

I had previously lcairiicd that his; two brothers were also keen duct: hunters but. that he was top shoot- er so far. I like to mosey nrounil and ask questions. Its surprislnz the information one picks up in those out of the way places. one thing that astonishes me is the quantity of game shot by the farmers and fishermen who hunts and most of them do nowadays. In! this respect they have an advant- age over the city ifellei-s' for they go to sleep with the birds and wake up with them.

Wildgeese have been under heavy hunting pressure of late and some large concentrations are sticking to the bays and tidal estuaries ratlier than run the gauntlet of guns to and from the stubble fields. Much as they enjoy a fill-up rm oats. wheat or barley. they have founil out the hard way that eel grass may be a plainer diet. but its a safe one. Methinks from now on geese will patronize salt water more and more as the seasons come and go until stubble feeding is the exception rather than the rule. Prior to 19613. the year the eel grass died. wiidgeese fed on eel arses almost exeluslvr-ly. Me- thinks those days are comlm! hack.

Sport Echoes From Prince county

Bud Poiie's handling of the Gray. Bmihomme dispute reminds us a. little of the dog who let go the bone-'in his mouth to grab at its reflection in the water. if Poile hadn't been so insistent on driving a hard bargain with the Islander management, at trade might have been arranged long before this, and Isliandersl appeal for II. re-hearing on the case would probably never have been made. But Poile wanted Willie Marshall. and getting Willie away from the islanders would be about as difficult as getting Bob- by Thomipson away from the Giants. Now Poile ends up halti- ivig the bag.and neither Marshall, Gray or Bonhomme is in it.

We think the way the island-7 ers started out this year is an improvement over last year's start. The fans took victories for grant- ed last year. but now that Lam- oureux and his boys are starting to win after a bad start, the en- thusiasm among island hockey fans is mounting daily. Thci-e will E the more sell-outs this year, we? predict.
