ion of many hunters that October 16th is too late for this province incl that October 1st is more sult- lbe particularly with regard to ducks. By October 16th at least b0 per cent. of the Blue-wing teal have departed southward and the same applies to the Ring-necked sucks. The blue wing ls a splendid table bird and the fattest early reason duck we have.

In many sections they are more plentiful .than the black ducks, particularly in the shallow ponds ind lagoons peculiar to the north nde. In checking game bags in the Pracadie-Blooming-Point - Sav- lge Barbour sections the ‘blue wring leal frequently outnumlt-red the blacks better than two to one. It lould be a. good move by sports- men interested in duck and goose shooting to make suggestions for slianges in the 1M9 season before Dttawa has the opportunity tn lnove first.

'R.C.A.F._ Comes Out Of Cellar With 12-1 Victory Over Kinsmen

..._.

Qhlrlls Ryan's iuuioi- baseball Reece crew last night added to their lead in the Junior baseball lqlllue when they slammed but a 'l-1 victory over the cellar-dwel- ling Knights of Columbus squad ln the final game of the first section. And once more the winners rode to Vivi-My on the strength of power- hittlng in one inning as they counted four times in the fifth to break up what up to that tlmehad been a closely waged tussle with the Reece having a slim 3-1 mar- gin at the end of four and a half innings oi play,

With the irlst tlwo men retired on two pitched balls in the fateful fifth the winners came through with six straight singles ior four runs before the third man had been retired and that was the ball game. Knights drew first blood in the top of the second when an error, a sacrifice and a passed ball gave them a run. Reece tied it up in the last half oi the same frame on an error. two stolen bases and a clutch single by Leonard: they went ahead to stay in the third on a passed batter, two singles and an infield out good for two counters and then put the,gsme on ice by their fifth inning uprising.

"Spy" Ready, going the route for the winners limited the Knights to three hits. all singles as his sweep- ing leithanded hooks and fast ball accounted for nine strlkeout vic- tims along the way while McKen- zles on the mound for the losers was touched for twelve safeties while striking out five batters.

Leading batter of the game was Leonard of the Reece the short- flelder coming through with three hits out of three trips while drlv- ing in an equal number oi runs.

and eight hits in two innings, his mates throwing in four errors to

‘complete the debacle. Ed McInnis,

coming in to relieve him in the third, allowed three hits in Ethat frame, which coupled with 3 more errors by the infield accounted ior three more runs. From th-en on in Mcinnls held the rampaging Air- men, and the boys settled down to play ball behind him. Mlckus, on the mound for the R. O. A. F. was much better than he needed to be. giving up only five hits in seven innings.

Feature play of the evening was a beautiful shoe string catch by centre fielder Brawley who came in close to second base to snatch the sphere inches from the grass. Brawley alsolcame out of s. pro- longed batting slump to lead the batters. getting three hits in four trips.

The fact that the customers are leaving the runners in Montreal has caused the management of the well known Blue Bonnetstraok to wake up. We note where ‘they have made constructive advances such as eliminating long parades, cut- “!!! down delays in the paddock "M the mew!!! set records for closing early even on the biggest days. They Ind sensed the iact that wearied customers tired of 1on8 waitink between races had wandered away so at this meet races were run oflf so promptly that nobody had a complaint to make on that score.

The racing season is moving a- lso: quite fast and it will be no time until old Home Week, Aw- ust 10-13 arrives. This has been and should continue to be the Maritlmes stellar meet, in fact Ca- nada's top race meeting for trot- ters and paoers. Its reputation has gone far and wide and we are confident the management will this year put on a. program that will be fully up to any of the past and probably excel them. Every horseman in the Marltimes should keep an eye on the Old Home Week program at Charlottetown which will be released shortly. For a. fast track, good stabllng, en-

welcome to visiting horsemen we do not know any place better than the capital city of the Garden of the Gulf. ‘ Alec Parsons oi London, Ont. who sold his large string oi good trotters and pacers at auction last fall, most oi which were purchas- ed from W. G. Stewart, New Glasgow, N. 8.. is back in the

horses, Mighty Atom and Pine Ridge Louie entered in events in Ontario.

Next Wednesday the Island cir- cuit shifts to Oovehead, one of the finest rural tracks in the Maritime Provinces, if not the finest. Proprietor Charles Willis has a. crowd-pleasing record for having always given programs that enthuse the spectators and loosen up their vocal cords.,No doubt next week's race meet will like the others, draw s. very large attend- ance.

Maritime fixtures that should not be forgotten are Monotone three afternoons, July 21-22-28, featured by a. $3,000 Free For All, and IPredel-ictons Centennial races, Wednesday and Thursday, July 28-29. A card to George Gay or a phone message will give you par- ticulars of the Moncton meeting, and similarly Dr. G. C. McCoy will do likewise for Fredericton. In addition to the above nearer at home will be the big race meet at the R. E. Ferguson Memorial Track, Pictou next week, that has drawn s. large entry list and pro- mises to be the biggest meet ever held there. '

A telegram received from S. Thane Belyea on Wednesday eve- ning contained the sad news that Harry Jewett had passed away that morning. Harry had an ad- venturous career. In his youth he spent several years in the United States and became very familiar with horses o-" all types. He was a slended Judge and an excellent exhibitor. When he devoted bim- self to racing he had suoh well known horses as The er 2.00- 8-4. holder of the world's eight- beat trotting record and with him set up a. track record of 2.00 1-4 at Chatham. N. B-. which we be- lieve, was at the time the Canad- ian trotting record and certainly was the Maritime record. Another horse he developed into a magnifi- cent trotter was Border Prince, that» he gave a record of 2.12 1-2. Not too long ago he raced Addde McGraw to a record of 2.10 1-2. She was a sensation on Maritime tracks and he sold her to Wall McNelll for a nice price.

Harry Jewett was an absolutely trustworthy man. one who could be relied upon to do the right thing under all circumstances. Aa a result he was highly respected and the friends be made remain- ed true to the end. We personally feel the deepest regret at his pass- ing as we always found him a fine couipatitor. a good sporte- man and friend. To his family on behalf of Maritime horsemen we extend our deepest sympathy.

The tables bountliully laden with almost every imagin- able delicacy to tempt the appetite were replenished again and again but notwithstanding all this and when everyone who came there to partake‘ of the good things had been satisfied, there still was an abundance of delicious cakes and pies on hand which were sold to trendy bidders.
