Strange But True

8: F. E. MacArthur

A local clergyman on a fishing trip to the Dunk River was happy to learn that the fellow who stood next to him on the bank, was once hired by he late Bob Davis of newspaper fame, and an Island .-ii-rizyman. Their conversation drifted to the two latter gentleman. recalling what ardent fishermen they were.

They were indeed." observed the fellow standing beside the local minister, ”except for their swear-

ing they were both the best of frllnus."

"What!" said the local clergy- man. "You don't tell me that

”But he did. sir. The minister had Just hooked a fine sea trout. He was reeling it in to shore when it slipped off the hook. i

so Davis said. "That's a damn shame, parson." "Yes it is" said the clergyman, and that's that.

One can hardly realize that as late as 1838 stage coach was still the mode of travel in most parts of Canada. Before World War I the daring tourist took a spin in a contraption called an "electric sun'ey." that leather upholstery and giant glittering brass spittoons graced every hotel lobby in the city of Charlottetown.

Henry Clay was a member the Upper House at. 20 though the constitution specifically states that a United States senator must be at least 35.

When Abraham Lincoln was assasinated lyy John W, Booth the War Department offered a reward of sl00.000 for anyone capturing the niurdercr. The re- ward was split 33 ways because there were 33 men in the troop that captured Booth hiding in a barn in Virginia.

Franklin D. Rosevelt already is the subject of more books than any president except Lincoln. Their funeral services in the White House East Room were held 80 years apart, almost to the day.

On May 6. 1952, Peter Fii7.gcrald of Pittsburgh asked permission to use the ancient, traditional bread and candle ritual for recovering drowned persons. It was granted.

Canadian Hockey Teams To Play in Europe and Japan

KEMPTVILLE. Ont.. (CP)-Hoc- key teams which will get Junkets to Europe and Japan early next year will be chosen this weekend at a meeting of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association exec- utive at Toronto. CAHA president 5. H. George said Thursday.

so far. there have been applica- lions from three intermediate teams for the European trip and three for the Japanese. George declined to name the applicants.

The CAHA chooses teams not only on the basis of good inter- mediate hockey calibre but also takes into consideration players who would conduct themselves on a 'gcntlemanly basis" even apart from hockey.

The European team will leave for Stockholm in February to play various teams in Europe for the international Ice Hockey Federa- tion championship. There will be no title: at stake in Japan. The team chosen to play there will be on a goodwill mission.

Expenses for the Canadian team to Japan will be paid by the Jap- anese Ice Hockey Federation. It will be the first time a Canadian team has played against the Jap- aizase in Japan.

The Canadain team will be overseas six weeks.

By Will Grimsley

NEW YORK. iAPiwThe captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews. ruling bodylof British golf, says his country and gthe United States may adopt a l uniform golf ball in the next two years. probably the larger Ameri- can version.

"The tendency of thought on the matter seems to be toward the larger bail if an agreement is reached.” said Lord Brabazon of Tara. who runs the golf show in Britain. "The feeling is the smaller ball could be hit too far on Amer- ican courses." ,

Lord Brabazon, one of England's most fabulous sports and political figures. is here on a combinailoii business and golf trip. He will at- tend the Walker Cup matches ai Marlon. Mass., Sept. 4-5.

At present there is 6-looths of an inch difference in the size of the American and British balls. with the British ball smaller 1.62 inches in diameter to 1.68. Under present rules. the British may use either ball. Americans pcrmit use of the British ball bnly in inter- national competition.

"There is reason for the differ- ence in balls because of the differ- ence in the conditions under which pihgy are played." Lord Brabmii sai
