The best trotters and paoers that were in action at Goodwill races. together with a number oi’ new Free-for-al- lers and slower class horses will make racing of exceptional interest.

Hutton looked as though he was ready for the cleaners in the sec- ond when the Cards had two ‘on

In the fourth the Cards picked up their first run on Enos Slaughtefs single, an error by Peewee Reese on Erv Dusak’; roller and Marty Marion's ‘run-scoring single. St. Louis loaded the sacks with two gone, but l-latten fanned pinch- hltter Buster Adams for the third

cessive doubles by Terry Moore and Stan Musial sliced his lead to two runs, Hutten got. by on the strikeout route.

Meanwhile the Brooks still were celebrating a four-run opener that doomed George (Red) Munger.

Eddie Dyer of Cards almost ox- hausted his bull pen stock, using five llurlers, But he managed to leave Lefty Harry Brecheen avail- able for tomorrow. Brecheen, lyin- ner of 13 and loser of 13, had pit- ched against the Phillies Tuesday and would be going with only three days rest.

Leo Durocher wavered between Vic Lombardi, the crafty little soutpaw with a 12-8 win record, and Rube Melton, with a 5-3 sea- son mark for tomorrow's game.

Canada's smallest and most easterly province. I O O

In the spring of 1943 ‘the Pro. vincial Department of Agricul- ture at the request of the P. E. I. Fish and Gama Protection As» sociatlon imported 5 pairs of Prairie Chicken from Western Canada and released them in the West River district of Queen's County on the farm of Walter R. Shaw, Deputy Minister c-f Aztl- culture. The birds remained in the vicinity for a week 'or 10 days and then disappeared. No furth- er trace of them was discovered until late the following October vliherr a lamb flock of 26 made their appearance on the farm of James Murphy, China Point. Competent authorities definitely established that these birds were Prairie Chicken. Early in Nov- ember the flock moved to parts u own and diligent inquiry failed to disclose their where- abouts. ‘ . .

All through the season of 194.4 flame officials kept a sharp look- out fcr a further appearance of the new importation, as well as made diligent inquiry among far- mers in the districts suspected to harbour the birds but without results. The chicken had appar- ently vanished into lhin air. Hopes brightened, again last year (1945). Tantalizing rumours cir- culated every so often. Early in the fall an employee of the Pav- ing Company at Bedford report- ed seeing a. pair of Prairie Chic- ken m the Bedford district. He lived for a time in Western Can- ada and claimed to know the birds. Later on in October two oil men reported seeing a covey of Prairie Chicken on a lane lead- ing to one of the Cottages at York Point. These observers also

A check in the B- lzame official unearth-ed nothing more exciting than a couple of coveys of Huns and this latest report was classed as Dfomifiihi; but not authentic. The season of 1945 ended with the report that a pair of Chicken were seen on several occasions at Southoort. The description ‘offered .was en- ticing but official confirmation was not forthcoming.

It has remained for Mr. Arthur, Mould, retired manager of The Charlottetown Hotel. to receive the nod from officialdom and: 115v; hi5 report confirmed rez, covey of Prairie Chicken observ-l ed.
