Hound” and my reasons for pre- ferring‘ him arc tire following: He is su an. honorable dog, wonder- fully kind irtelligent, a faithful friend an also a safe psmio l for small children He is a real family dog, has no favorites, loves every member of the f-amily. pro

vlding they s‘! treat him kindly. He has some way of knowing when any one is absent from the home, and will stay outside patiently, for hours, gazing wistfully in the di- rection he knows the missing orlc will come. When he catches n. glimpse of them coming, ho hides behind a shrutb or tree. and in winter behind a nnowdrift, and as they approach, he gleefully leavcs his hiding place to give tilcm n moat hearty welcome; and who could ever forget now honestly anal alicctiolnately looks nffllflh‘. into ones eyes. i sometimes think they feel Sflfrv they cannot talk. Another reason why I like the "Hour-i" best is moause they never ramble around with other dogs, and never have their names tar- nished with chasing or killing in- nocent sheep.

one mver need oe afraid of los- ing a good fox hound because their scent is extremely keen they may travel many miles. but never

et lost. as they are cap of link-tracking themselves. Tnay arq also a grand watch dog, if they see horses, cattle or sheep in o. field where they never saw them before, they must feel it their du.y to investigate, for they are on the spot in a minute, and will stand and bark at thorn. as much as to say: "Did you get to come in here"?

I wished to test the cleverness of a fox hound pup last lcar, so I shut him up, (it was about twi- light) took a fox nut of the ram‘n_ carried her over to a. building, put I tor-rs on her neck let her down on the ground at the door. and holding her by the tail, let her run along for 4 or 5 chains, then circl- ed through a field, and let her go under a wire fence. then over throlgh the ranch to her own : than I let the pup out and wu ed along quite unconcerned, but I as- sure you he was right on her track as soon es he same to the door. and followed her exact track with his nose to tire around, even went under the wire fence, in the same place as the four, and went directly to the right pen; and as soon as he was let out the next morning, he went over the rams course. They have a wonderful memory.

(Canadian Press) Cleveland Indians turned back St. Louis Browns 5-3 and 7-3 in a doubleheader before a sparse crowd of 2.062 at St. Louis yester- day and moved into a tie with Chicago for fifth place in the Am- erican league.

Joe Berry turned in a brilliant relief pitching job for the Indians in the second game. allowing only one hit in sl-x innings.

The Cleveland club bunched its hits‘ for a big inning in each con-

After the Brownies had taken the lead in the nightcsp on a two- run homer by Vern Stephens, the Indians came from behind in the d with a four-run uprising. Jim Serrey’: 22nd circuit-blow of the lesson. with Les Flenvng on base, highlighted the rally.

Former Jockey Revives Memories

MONTREAL, S-‘apt. 2 — (CP) -- It is the voice of Jimmy Darou. one-time gockey for Al Capone, and an almos mythical figure among Montreal sport lovers, that keeps racing fans attending the current meet at Blue Bonnets informed of the entries and results over the track's public address system.

Daron, now 38 and owner of a Montreal filling station, tiuite ap-

arently puts his heart nto his ob as he follows his falvorite sport at the track where he rode many a

ngtail before a disastrous smash- u at Ottawa's Connaulglirt Park in 1 33 wrote finis to an ll-year-riding career.

The accident, when the po ular Jockey was 25. left him para yzcd from the neck down and he was written off es likely to die or at hm remain bedriddcn for life. But medical care backed by an almost fanatical determination not to

ult has brought him around. To- is the active owner of a thriviru business and a spectator or official at most of Montreal's athletic events.

Moreover thc dauntleas Jimmy is to be married shortly to Miss Gert- rude Goodland of Montreal who sparked off the romance when nhe wrote him a letter after hearing his voice on a radio program.

Rode For Capone

Born in Carleton Place, Ont., and later coming to Montreal, Jimmy began to ride when he was 14, and after spending three years breaking yearlings at Louisville, Kentucky, he rode for many rom- lnent stablzs throughout the nlted States and Canada.

Not the least of these were Al Capone's Joliet stables. Capone once presented Jimmy with a long shiny automobile of the latest mo- del aftcr he won a race.

Baron's accident occurred Aug. 14, 1933. at the Connauglht track when a horse in second place, at- tempting to get through at the rail around the first turn, stumbled and fell, causing Jimmy, pressing from behind. to he dished to the ground by his frightened mount,

THIRD PRIZE (Mild-red Walker)

Man's best friend, tho dog, is seen everyday in every city. The dog is said to bs the most intol- ligent of all dumb animals. I agree fully with this proverb. My favor- ite breed is the Collie. One glance at this msgnificsm. specimen will immediately explain why.

Some e wl agree because of a Col ie's beautiful color (bled:

Britain Ready For The "Big Kick-off"

(By the Sports Editor of “Coming Events")

f The English football season is _now opt-hind! and clubs all over .lhe country are engaged in mob- lliising their resource; to meet, the idcmands QT what the prophets assure us. will be the "biggest ‘season ever."

g For the first time since the 1939 Iclose down there will be the three 1011M lefllllle divisions. with po-o- »motion and relegation to increase the excitement. And of course. the Football Association challenge‘ cum. commonly callled the "Bog- .sh Cup". will be running as ‘usual. There are four hundred and thirty-five entries. but many iof these will begin to be knocked lout as early as Serpiesnber. when the extra preliminary rounds are played. ,

Bigger Gates

Clubs all over the country were reporting bigger gates last. season and there is no doubt that Brit- ish football-in liinglasld, Scotland, Ireland and Wales-will this yea? reach new heights of popularity. A pointer to this is Lil-e news that Everton. famous Merseyside clnrb. made a profit last season of £21.- 557. a record for the club. Gate receipts were nearly three times those of the previous season Now all the clubs are building up their ,ieams to keep the crowds that will support a winning team more =1? a losing one, Very few ex- p enced players are left un- signed for the new season. though. ‘Prank Soo. England international. has not, at the time of writirii. =re-signed for Leicester. Chelsea. ‘the fashionable London club. is reported to have made an unsuc- messful offer of £10,000 to Man- zchester United for their outside llcft, Charles Mitten.

z Arsenal Back at Highbury

Arsenal will be back at High- ‘lyurv and from there comes the news that players have commen- ced training.

The coming season will be a

vital one forArsenal and although this popular London club is 8°- ing all out to stage a great revi- val. their task will not be an easy one. They have a first class stad- ium, estimated to be worth some- thing like £350,000, but it must be remembered that l-lighburv came in for its full share of wa-r dam- age and, I understand. that re- nairs are likely to cost somewhere in the region of £30,000. Over- shadowlng the club's future is a debt of 2170000- Mid th-h will have to be paid of! be- fore they can recapture all their ore-war glory.

Generally speaking though. 1 think that Arsenal can face the future in good hes/rt. They are back again at their old home and among those In training I note the names of £14,000 Bryn 3°11"- shortly to be released from the Army. and Rog LewLs, both top

Such news shows the way clubs an preparing. It is not only 1h! big fashionable clubs. Shrews- bury Town. a small non-leailllfi club. have appointed Birrell. H1 old Chelsea official. as manaiel‘. and are plnfinlhfl b1! thing!-

when one talks about 100811811 it is well to remember the scale,on which it is played: the fact that our full international eleven ren\ins unbeaten at home is the case which supports Brit- ain's claim to remain the home of football.

All sources agreed their meeting with Dr. Chaim Weizmann.- ag- ency chairman. probably would be followed tomorrow by an an- nouncement that the Zionist. org- anization would not take pert in the talks.

Palestine Arabs also are boy- cotting the conference. but it will be attended by representatives of the Arab League which suggested a. London meeting a-t which seven member states could air their views on the i-loly L8md’s future.

In Alexandria. Abdel Rahmnn Azzam Pasha, secretary generalof the Arab League. said he dLavuss- ed the Palestine situation with the Mufti. spiritual leader of Pal- Cetineb Arabs. who agreed that the Arab League states should attend the London conference. Azzam Pasha added the represen- tatives would attend despite the Palestine executive's ion.

Jewish sources said the agency eropectcd to reject its invitation to the conference since Foreign Secretary Bevin has dc- clined to make the establishment of a Jewish State in Palestine the basis of negotiation.

Fear 0f Pickers Shortage llispelled

(By The Canadian Press)

KENTVILIrE, n. s.. Sept. Previously expressed fears of a shortage of pickers to gather this year's Annapolis Valley applecrop have bean dispelled and growers now are assured of all the help they need. it. was reported today.

The need for about 2.500 pick- ers which was noted a, short time ago has been filled and more help is coming in each day. Although it will be a. week or more before the harvest of the bumper apple crop gets underway. ma-nv work- ers are already 0n the scene. This years crop is estimated at about 1,600,000 to 1,700,000 barrels. described by growers as a good normal year's production. Last year's output was only a half mill barrel-s due to unseason- able frosts in early spring and the simmer drought. It was the low- est in history.

Tours Abroad

This summer has seen many tours abroad bv the leading clubs including Chelsea-who incident- ally won all their six games in Switzerland-cup winners Derby County and West Ham. Tom Lawton. of Chelsea, and the best centre-forward in England. has been coaching in Switzerland. From what we have seen and ‘heard, Belgium. Switzerland, Aus- tria. France and Rusia are all competing for international sup- remacy. Portugal. who have given British teams shocks at n. are in the running. Spain-who was early visitors to Britain some. years ago-and Italy. have e. following for the game. has been sending amateur teams here. ‘Ihere is no corner in Eur- ope where Lhe game that was built up and popularised in Brit- ain has not penetrated. ~ Teams from Britain visiting the Continent no longer go as "mis- sionary teams". vefy often they find it dliflicult to avoid defeat. Yet European footballers still realize they have much to learn. The-y have developed heir own style of play. but still seek help from the lending British profes- sionsls on certain aspects of the game. especially shooting, It has‘ fhouently been seen in the past that while Continental teams have developed a delightful form of a sch to goal they are still by. tish standards. behind in their. shooting. Their players seem to need too much time and space. and have not yet fully developed the Lawton technique of shooting in a split-second. without waiting to bring the ball under control.
