BACK STRETCH

Glancing over the summaries of Maritime races last season, we

were struck with the performan- cee of the pacers Top Royal, 207 4-5, and T. 0. F., 2.04 2-5. The former is a bay mare, eight years old. by Royal Napoleon, and was sold by the estate of the late Edward Dalton, Newcastle, N. B.. to T. C. Collette, New- castle. N.B. Mr. Collette is one of the most. versatile horsemen in the Maritimes, and can take a horse that has a7 defect and cor- rect it. In his hands, the hand- some daughter of Royal Napolean, 201. made 13 starts and won all of them. Her fastest performance was at Moncton on‘ August 17, when she won in 2.07 4-5 and 2.08 2-5, and on August 28, she won both dashes at Chatham in 2.08 2-5 and 2.08 4-5.

Now to another remarkable New Brunswick pacer. T. 0. F. is a nine-year—old bay horse by

High Volo, that-took a record as a four-year-old of 2.04 2-5 on a very fast track in United States. This year he has raced in the ownership of John J. Dolan, Saint John, and has made 11 starts over that speedway, and on every oc- casion had his nose to the wire first. His racing career in the United States in 1956 was not spectacular, as he was only twice first, buthe showed, a lot of speed when he beat a high class field of pacers at Hamburg, N. Y., in a $1,400 event. time 2.05 2-5. From that on, of course, he had to meet the very tops and was not so successful.

Over the Saint John track, which is an excellent one and is getting faster every year, he won three races in from 2.10 2-5 to 2.10 4-5, twoother dashes in 2.11 1-5 and 2.11 2-5, two in 2.12, one in 2.12 1-5 and one in 2.14 2-5.. Our

Winter Season .,Would , Be V Appqlling For Trout

I note in the Deecmber 10, 1957 issue of “Fish and Game” ‘—-a magazine devoted exclusiv- ely to outdoor life and sport in. A_lberta~—that exponents of the ”year ‘round trout fishing pol- icy" have been criticized for such a stand. To quote in part: “I’ve noticed on numerous oc- casion" in your magazine prais- es of liberalized fishing regula- tions in Alberta. While aliberal policy may be good in pot holes it is poor policy for our streams. Many recent fishing theories are fast going out of the window, in- cluding: “We can't fish the streams out"--“A few parent stock ‘viii soon restock the stream." When these two state- ments proved incorrect another was added: “A year’: closure will do wonders.”

What a miserable failure this was in our part of Alberta (Cow Cr-eek—-Chambers Creek). It will be interesting to hear what the next theory will be. Meanwhile, stream fishing ‘in Alberta has gradually deteriorated to its low- est point in twenty years, and we pat. ourselves on the back for our liberal fishing regulations. Unless we can learn how to grow three fish where only one grows now our children will be chasing the hatchery truck.” NOT UNDER FISHED

I have discovered during my years of close contactwith our wildlife. with special emphasis on fish and game, .that theories look wonderful on paper but of- ten fail miserably when submit- ted to a practical test. I have listened to supporters of the “Year ‘round fishing season for trout" in this province‘ argue at length how certain streams are under-fisfihd and mentioned sev- eral specifically, one being the Riverdale area at the head of West River. I know that this stream teems with trout run- ning from five to seven inches length and due to over crowd- ing will never, the bulk of them at least. grow any larger unless tran.=,pla_nted to some other stream but-«-what angler is go- ing to waste time in January,

SEA TROUT

In many of ou_r rivers sea

t

a sizable pile of smelts was stacked in a box beside the hole. He had a ‘this is it’ expression on his face.

I inquired: “You wouldn’t by any chance have trout under these smelts?” “I don’t know,” was his reply and he was quite truthful‘ at that: On the‘spur of’ the moment ‘he couldn't remem- ber if he had speared any trout that morning‘ or not. He was lucky. All he had was a large tomcod. The Pisqu-id is another river where sea trout drift in and out during the winter and‘ sometimes lie in the pool below the upper bridge.

FEW MOVE UP

Fishermen have told me in the days when trout fishing regula- tions were a1most‘non-existent that anytime in October or Nov- ember if they felt like having a fry of pnime sea trout all they had to do was to stand on the upper Pisquidbridge with a com- ing tide and toss in a hook bait-

ed with worms or a strip of red meat. They insisted that those trout did not move up-

stream to‘the spawning beds as they yvere full rounded and red meated as salmon. I have bad old timers tell me that the real large sea trout do not move up- stream past tide head and that only a small percentage of - the general run of sea trout move up to spawn every fall. I in- quired of a grizzled fishermen on one occasion: “Do you think they spawn on the sea springs in salt water?” He had no ans- wer for that one——just shrugged his shoulders.

I have somtimes asked myself that question but left in unans- wered. l guess\igts up to our trout biologists to’ figure that one out. I do know that schools of prime sea trout. move in and out with the tide on a yearly rouhd-the-clock schedule or thus it appears. When the ice forms I have watched sea green beau- ties swim past smelt spearing holes that were the width of one‘s hands across the should- ers. I have often wondered how true is the theory that, trout who move in from the sea in Octob- er and November to spawn re- main in fresh water all winter

NEW STALLIONS

I Friends of Mrs. Helen T. Camp- bell, Saint John, N. B.. will be interested to learn that she has imported two new stallions from United States. One is Wing Vic- tory, a three-year-old by Victory Song, 1.57 2-5, dam Lady Evelyn, 3, 2.04, by. Calumet Evelyn, p, 1.59 -1-4. t, 1.59 1-2. You will agree with us, we are sure. that the breeding of Wing Victory is most exceptional. Many will remember when Vic Fleming gave Calmet Evelyn the honor of holding the world’s double-gaited records, shown above,.a.nd will also re- member the/wonderful campaigns of Victory Song, 1.57 2-5, when His last year’s racing was the Sep Palin was up behind him. same year that Joe O’Brien took over the p“acers in the Castleton Farm string, and won the $50,000 Pace with Indian Land, 1.59 1-2, at Hollywood Park, Inglewood, Cal. . The other new purchase is the two-year-old Billie Eden, by Adios, 1.57 1-4, the world’s great- est living sire of pacing speed, whose stallion fee is $5,000. His dam is_ Little Bloomer, 4, 2.10 4-5, by the world's champion pacer Billy Direct, 1.55, dam Miss Bloomer Girl, ‘by Abbedale, 201 _1-4, grand-dam the Bloomer Girl. 1), 2.04. _

Seldom in our recollection have we came across pedigrees equal to the above, and we hope that, in the hands of our friendporwell

tions and brought the horses to the Maritimes, they will be suc- cessful in their racing careers.

A SLUR _

A friend handed us the follow- ing ’ clipping from a prominent American newspaper. It reads. as follows: “A national fund for re- search to catch up ..with the many new ways of stimulating race horses to run faster has been an- nounced. The 25 members of the National Associ tion of State Rac- ing Commissio rs will contribute $50000 and the U. S.‘Trot‘ting As- sociation, $10,000." _ -

our comment on the above is that, while new national records have been made for the number of horses raced on U. E. A. tracks in 1957. we haven't seen one in- stance where a driver or owner was charged with administering dope to horses.

WAS GREATYEAII. Edwin Keller, one of the best

- authorities on harness racing in

the United States, believes that 1957 was the greatest year in the history of harness horse racing. There were more people attended the races, more money paid out, and more fast miles than in any previousyear. , . _ The ‘Horse of the Year" was Torpid, son of Night Dream, 1.59, and Torresdale, 2.04 1-4. that was trained and raced by 37-year-old Johnny Simpson. Last year Tor- pid set up a record for two-year- old pacing colts with.a mile in 1.58; in 1957, he did what every- body expected .him,to do-break records right and left. He was the champion money winner of the age and gait, and he became the first three-year-old pacer in his- --tory t;o earn over $100,000. His winnings were $113,982. He won 12 stakes and was first to the wire in 19 of his 22 starts, and paced a mile oval in 1.58 to equal the record for three-year-old colts, and paced Saratoga and (f)cc-an Downs raceways in 2.00 lat. ’

The turf writers voted him “Horse of the Year" because of his nine super-‘speed miles. other great performers of'1957 were: Good Counsel, a two-year-old pacer bred and owned by Castle- ton Farms, Lexington, -Kentucky, and trained by Frank Ervin, with whom readers of “Hoof Beats” will be familiar; and the three- year-old Newport Judy. that won in 1.57, an all-time mark for pac- ing mares of any age. and a race mile that has been beaten by only one other horse-the 1.55 mile by the champion, Adios Harry.

AGED TROTTERS

1 In aged trotters, Darn Safe. a six-year-old son of Darnely, 1.59 3-4. was a star over both mile and half-mile tracks. Last stim- mer he won a $20,000 stake at Saratoga in 1.59 4-5, which was a new“record for trotters over a half-mile oval.

Plan N.H.L. Hall

MONTREAL (CF) —- The Na-| tional Hockey League governors‘ have agreed to co-operate with the Canadian National Exhibition in establishing a hockey hall of fame at the CNE igylmds in Tor- onto. NI-IL Pres ent Clarence Campbell announced Friday.

The league has appointed a spe- cial committee to work with the CNE on the project.

“This decision will, in all prob- ability, mean that the lnterna-I tional hockey hall of fame founded in 1943 under the guid- ance of the late Capt. James Sutherland and planned to be erected in Kingston. will not he proceeded with, at least not on as large a scale," said Campbell’s statement.

"All hockey organizations offi- cially recognized Kingston as the birthplace of hockey in a formal declaration made in 1943 and, in all probability, there will be some tangible evidence of that decision erected at Kingston.

“The Kingston project, which had great promise at the outset, was pretty well doomed when building costs skyrocketed after the war and it was not found pos- sible to finance the increase or assure the maintenance of the project once it was erected.

There is at least one strong team eligible for High-School Curling, and they are curling not only in the Rendezvous but also at any time ice is available for them.

At. the suggestion the rugged NFL competition may be a dif- ferent breed of cats than the wide open, 12 - man Canadian game, Ivy replied:

"I know from experience this league plays a pretty wide open game, too. However, football is primarily a game of blocking and tackling. Success is based on fundamentals whether on the junior high school level or in the top pro ranks."

Ivy, who served under Wilkin- son six years starting in 1948, said he would have to study Cardinal material before plan- ning hisoffence, but added it will be some version‘ of the '.‘l‘-forma- tion.
