Jiimmle Ilood, Mr-I. Joe O'Brien's Dad. dropped in to see us yesterday afternoon and showed us maps of two two-year-oldc that Joe is training for A. 1.. Derby of Witchlta, Kansas. Vonian Chief is almost as large as his ire, Chief Abbe- dale 2.00 and the dead spit of him. The other two-year-old is by King's Oounseii 1.585s and is a very large colt and a most promising one, as is adso Vonian Chief. Another two- year-old that appears in the snap is Three To One by Dam-ley l.5iW1, owned by W. C. Evans, who has several horses in Joeis stable and who has been visiting Florida for some tl.me. Joe has been busy lately sending in stake payments which 'were due on March lst and 15th. No doubt they would run into hundreds of dollars. even thousands. He has decided to go to Toledof Ohrio, from Florida in- stead of to Roosevelt. The reason is that he has to race Mahlon Han- over 2, 2.04 on a ml-le track prior to the Hanifb-letonlian and the work -at Toledo will help ;i'1'-t. him for the big event. Around the middle of June he will move to Roosevelt.

Sampson Hanover, a four-year- old pacer that will compete in A race for the first time this year, has all the horsemen talking about him. Frank Ervin. noted trainer, who has Sampson, tried his best to make a tr-otter of him'but no, sir, he would not trot, so he turned him over to the pace and in time trials last October the green colt turned in remarkable mile track marks of 2.00i and later 1.59! The record for green pacer: is l.59Va-just one-Iicfth of a second faster. Many think that Sampson has a chance to take a wonderful mark this season.

Figures released show that har- ness racing was the fastest grow- ing sport in America in (950. At- t dance in the United states was up 3.6 per cent to 7,037,540.

One of G'reyhound's records set in 1935 was broken last. year by Lord Stewart. It was the cham- piorn trotter's mark for t.'hree-year- old trotting geldlngs. Lord Stew- art cut its to 2.02i and 2.02 in the course of winning 3 heats.

A writer in Yonkers Trot News says of Joe O'Brien. . ."Joe O'Brien. 120 pounds track-side, drives dar- ingly - wonft be boxed in. Pound for pound and inch for inch you have got to go It long way to match the daring driving of Joe O'Brien

..Joe likes to close with a rush. his horses are trained that way. A lit second opening is usually all e needs to make a decisive move. Last year he drove two horses in L00 or better. The 94-year-old dare devil was top dash winning driver in. both the United States and Cloud: in 1947...0iBrien dudnlt smear during the Yonkers Spring meet last year because of his 'tmenvta at Santa Anita. so he started slowly here piloting dive horses during the summer and 03 in the long fall season.

Well. the Islanders have chalk- ed their third straight victory over Halifax in Maritime Major League play, but required a breath-taking penfonmance to do it, that gave the largest crowd to cram into the Halifax Forum this season one of the finest and most scintillat- ing games of hockey to be wit- nessed during the long stretch of Big Four competition this year. 0 O 0

Semi-Finals In Minor leagues . Are -Decided

In minor hockey playoff corn- petltion held at the Forum on Thursday, the Georgetown "girls team won the Queens-Kinvu inter- scholastic title and the Bantam Atbbies captured the same title in the Bantam division.

In the girls interscholastlc play, the Georgetown team battled it out to a 1-1 deadlock with the West Kent School team in the second game of their -home and home series to take the total round by a 3-2 count, having taken the series opener at Georgetown 2-1. The Georgetown girls will now meet the Svummerside Saint Mary's convent girls team in the Island Interscholastic finals in aIsudden- death contest at the Forum this evening at seven o'clock.

Leo The Lion's'boys staged a powerful comeback in the second frame to deadlock the count only to fall behind again by one goal before the frame ended. in a powerful third period. once again the Islanders came abreast of a. driving St. Mary's team, but this time to hold it and send the gum

One other bird beat; the grackle as a harbinger of spring and that is the Flicker, better known to country residents as the Yellow I-larruner. wildgeese have an in- clination to beat the gun where spring is concerned. In late Feb- ruary and early March a slaabl concentratiuu of geese arrived in the province. a-sort of yanguard as it were.

Usually it is the first week in -April before the main body of canadas have arrived but this spring is liable to see the bulk of the geese here by March am. I saw several large flocks on'wing on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Spring is definitely in the offing if not already here. I'm afraid farmers will. not get their hauling done. particularly in re- spect ta firewood and lumber. even if a mi of snow is experi- enced. u the frost is well on its way out in the woods and swamps.

From time to time complaints have been voiced during the past several years regarding the pract- ice of hunting mink with dogs and I understand that it is the intent- ion of game authorities to advo- cate having this hunting method prohibited under the Provincial Game Act at the present sitting of the Legislature. Indians are the chief offenders in this connection and it is their favourite method of talking mink. I understand that the odd white trapper is also catching on to this little game.

An Indian will take a dog. pre- ferably a nondescript mongrel on the small. low set side. Ind train him on nothing but mink. They seem to have a knack on picking the right type of dog and when they are through with him a more whiff of mink will dram him Just like a magnet. In the morning a party of Indians and their dog. sometimes as many as three: or four in the gang. will start out and cover a creek or river bank. The dog will never miss an oc- cupied mink den or halo under a stump or windfall where a mink has elected to ze away the day. The mini: smell reams to drive them into a frenzy of ex- citement.
