She had been broken as a two-year-old. was trained up to a mile in 2.19. (quarter in 30 seconds) then turn- ed out. Now that she has some age and is sound she may turn out to be a real star. Her fast- eat heat Tuesday night was 2.3! 1-5. She Is owned by Mal- colim Munroe and Harry LeVait of Sydney.

Shining Hour 1: a ihree-year- old by the Ohio sire Siskiyou. She made a number of starts last year in very fast company but did not win any heats. Tuesday night she was unsteady getting away with the Gate but made up a lot of ground and won by a margin each heat. She is owned by Ralph Bans of New York, is in the Cadegan ntable and was driven by Worrell Lewis. Her fastest heat was 223 4-6-mighty good time for a cold night. Adam?

George McIntyre, proprietor of Montague track. is putting on the most ambitious early season pro- gram in the history of harness horse racing in this Province. The .Frce-For-All has four pac- ers that have records better than 2.10 and all are in tip top condition. The No. I Classified will see the first appearance of the pacing mare Silk Hal 2.06 l-b. owned by Roy Bevan, with other pacing stars such as Filbert, Donna Mae, Rhodola D., Lucky Number. Billy Conn. New Look and Lillian Budlong. There are eleven en- tries in the No. 2 Classified in- cluding Carol Cumba, a nine- year-old 221 class pacer with a record of 2.11. She made seven siaria last season racing through Maine and was first to the wire on two occasioie. She is now in the stable of Earle Semple. The 2.30 Trot and Pace has 20 en- tries and will probably be raced in elimination heats. We sincerely hope that George's efforts to give a first clan program will bring out a record number of harness horse fins.

Once a regular whale smashed out, of the water a min. dred feet to my right. The gun glinted on hunks oi water as big as eggs that were tossed into the air when the big fellow smacked back into his domain. He broke several times later in the evening but deeper out into the pond.

As the night shadows crept over the water a boat, rowed by a grown man. crept out oi the rushes and headed to the immediate vicinity of the 'set line'. We left off fish- ing and sat in the car. Through the glasses one could see the few inches of black alder. that mark- ed one end of the cork line. My companion held the glasses. then lowered them and spoke: "The corks are down". I kept my eyes on the man in the row--boat. In a. moment he pulled up anchor and moved close to the anchor stick.

My partner remarked: "l-le's watching the car". We were at least 150 yards away and I knew he couldn't see any movement in the car's darkened interior at the last glow from the west would re- flect on the widows and produce a silvery sheen while the spot where the glass was rolled down would show as a black hole. It was an interesting show. The boat's occupant finally dropped anchor and began to use the long bamboo pole.

. . .

In a moment or two he lowered the pole and took hold of the set line. I could follow the movement of his hands as he drew the line over the bow of the boat. A long .darklsh object hung from one hook. "A trout". I exclaimed. "No", came the answer from the holder of the glasses. "its just a clump of weeds". He was a cagey customer. He drew about half the line and after giving the car another close scrutiny picked up his bamboo for another spot of casting. After this little act he completed the haul- ing of the set-line. He had no luck. The trout, or what have you. that. pulled the corks under till they were entangled in the weed growth had evidently broke clear.

when he rowed ashore I met him at the landing. we talked for a. few moments but he made no mention of the mysterious line of corks. I then 'put the arm on hlm' to use an old police expres- sion. He admitted pulling the set line but said it was out of cur- iosliy. They say that curiousity killed a cat once and the same trait may well cause a marked lmpness in a pocket book. It de- veloped that the line had been set out by another, incidentally by n thirteen-year-old and one of the quartette of teenagers I had talk- ed to earlier in the evening. Me- thinlm this was a community af- fair. However that may be some- one will pay for this little breach of the fishing regulations. Moral: Look not upon a set-line when 1 the corks are down.

00M Machine Speeds Production

This year's Canadian Interns. tlonal Trade Fair has uncovered yet another story of the progress Canada is making in the develop- ment of industrial manufacturing equipment. The Canada Cycle and Motor Company of Weston, Ont- ario. unveiled to world buyers and Benerai public alike a new ma- chine that other leading bicycle manufacturers throughout the world have tried unsuccessfully to develop for the past half century.

Designed -and built entirely by the Weston firm in just two and a hill! YEA-rs. the new machine com- pletes in 40 seconds the Job of tightening the spokes in a bicycle wheel and. at the same time. tru- ing the rim of the wheel to the alignment of the axle. Though these two operations may seem relatively simple to the layman who has not tried to build and true a wheel, they have eluded bicycle engineers for years, ac- cording to Mr. Leonard Shakesby. Chief Engineer of C.C.M. and designer of the machine. When using one machine. it finished wheel can be produced every 40 seconds. For higher production, two machines can be worked by one operator which will almost double the output and produce two finished wheels, say. every 50 seconds.

The machine simply centres the wheel with the spokes loosely lac- ed. The top of the machine drops down to hold the wheel in pos- itlon and particularly the rim dead true. Then. 36 little arms each equipped with a patented wrench, slide on the spoke nipples and the wrenches are spun on geared arms. the development being that all 36 arms are impelled by hyd- raulic fluid from a central point and pressure applied to a. liquid is transmitted with equal intensity to'all areas. Every little wrench tightens its spoke to exactly the same tension the machine stops - the top lifts and out comes the finished wheel, truly aligned.

Sport Echoes from

Prince county

Take a bow. Mark Delaney. what ever for? Well, Mark is now lead- "16 the very youniz summer has Town League in batting. He is the only batter hitting .500 at the present time. We know. it's like giving recognition to a arathon runner who breaks in fro t of the back just after the starting gun is fired, but we've decided to give you the leader in every column so we're starting with Mark. Don't make it too sweeping. Mark. A barely perceptible curtay will fill the bill this early in the season. 0 I 0

We're going to get the league executive to give us clear-cut reg- ulations for deciding the batting championship this year. We used to make it a requirement that the winner must have played in 60'';. of the total games played by his team. The trouble with this, the player might be only a plneh-hit- ter in a half-dozen games. There is the other aiternativeloi requir- ing so many times at bat. but this, too. is not fool proof, because it penalizes a batter who gets a large number of free passes to first. We think the best way is to take the number of times a batter faces a pitcher. You can't get that from the box score unless the names of those who walked are included and we guess that should be done. We'll let the executive decide just what will be necessary to qualify for the batting championship, however.

We received. ffon; Father Dur- ney of Kentville official rules and regulations which govern the "Lit- tle Leagues" which Bill O'Connor told us about when he visited Bummerside. The "Little League" covers young players from the age of 8 to 12 years. The rules of play are well worked out and show a great deal of thought. For exam- ple, no pitcher can pitch more than nine innings a week. A game consists of six innings. Bad lang- uage during a game means the offender is thrown out. and the players must not ride opposing pitchers. This is really starting the kids right.

. . .

It is so very easy to forget the "good sportsmanship" angle when teaching young boys and girls; competitive games. The young- sters are easily. much too easily, sold on the idea that victory is the only thing that matters. and. in the fight for victory other things must be forgotten. We like to see the kids fight every inch of the way to win. and not to give up till the last man is out. But they should be warned that "cheatinr,:" in any shape or form, whether it':; smuggling in an over-age player. or in some other way, is strictly

We'd offer an award for the besti display of sportsmanship among the minor players, but we're a. bit doubtful if you could impartially pick out one player at the end of the season for this honor. You might be doing some other boys an injustice. The Hart trophy is of- fered in hockey. but there are the penalties to go by in that sport. We do intend to give examples of sportsmansiiip due publicity (men- tioning names) and we'll certain- ly blast unsportsmanllkc conduct (not mentioning names). I
