Canadian Sport Snapshots

FOREST HILLS. NFL, Aug. 8O ... (A?) —Tal1 Jim Brink of Beat- qie, who was supposed to have de- parted the national tennis champ- ionships yesterday, southpawed his way blithely into the third round today at the expense of other seeded p18?“-

Yesterday the grinning "outsid-

qr" from the west coast knocked out Victor Deixas, ninth-seeded tvlisi. Sign” he more than took care of Marcello del Bello. stocky Ital- ian Davis-copper who was seeded eighth among the foreigners. The scores were 6-4, B-O, 6-1, and it “'35 brutal. Brink siugged away wvh sllCh terrific pace and accur- pry that Del Bello. in the second set. made only one point in three services.

However, the luck of the draw demands that Brink face Pancho Gonzales, the defending champion, in his next match, and Pancho is playing even better than he did a your ago.

The women completed their sec- ond round without the sign of an upset. Blonds Louise Brough oi Beverly Hills. the Wimbledon champion, gave the day's moat convincing display in overpowering Lois Felix of Meriden. Conn, 8-0. 6-0.

only the upper brackets were playred both in men's and women's anIgIOS today. Ted Schroeder, the N... 1 men's seed, had the day off.

The three Canadian contenders. Brendan and Pat Macken and Hrnfl Rochon of Montreal, all were eliminated yesterday.

Picks Winner; loses Ticket

NEW YORK, Aug. 30 -— (AP) — Samuel William Reniclr, an ex- gockey, picked a 72-to-1 winner s: Aqueduct Race Track today, bet $50 on the horse's nose-and then lost his ticket, worth $3,680.

Renick discovered the loss as he walked glowingly to the $50 window. He reported it to track officials at once, and a mus search started among all the trampled tickets-"stooping", it il called.

Only two $50 tickets were sold on the horse, Orange Sun. One was cashed. If someone shows up with the other he will be asked to explain how he got it.

New York State gets the money if it goes unclaimed.

Bonn Bustling As Government Seat For West_G_ermany

By JAMES DEVLIN ‘

BONN, Germany, Aug. 3i - (AP)—Bonn is a boom town. This usually sedate university city is going through the excitement of becoming the seat of West Gur- many's new government.

It isn't just the parliament building itself that is caught up in the rush. The whole city is bustling.

Scaffolding and clouds of dust around the railway station show it is being renovated to give a good first impression to legisla- tors and visitors arriving for the Sept. '1 opening of the first parlia- ment. The dln of.‘ riveting ma- chines clashes everywhere upon the scholarly atmosphere.

Three shifts of workmen are rushing completion of a graceful bridge that will link this oily on the west bank of the Rhine with the German "mainland."

Only one 12-foot section remains to be slipped into place to coni- plete the span. Then comes the surfacing. Authorities hope it will open to traffic by November.

In the meantime travellers from the cast side can reach Bonn only by ferry, or via bridges at Co- logne and Koblenz, 2O miles north and 3O miles south.

The work of repairing war-dam- aged hotels and rooming houses is being speeded. Housing is tight and virtually any available space can be rented.

Across the river from Bonn. workmen are converting the I-‘etersbergh Hotel at Koenigs- winter into a headquarters for the Allied High Commission.

But the most furious activity ls at the parliament building itself —a modernistic gleaming white former teachers‘ college, now known as the Bundseshaus. New wings being added to the build- ing almost dwarf the original structure.

The once trim sidewalk in front of the Bundeshaus is littered with steel beams. boards. cement mix- ers, piles of sand, hoses and per- spiring workmen.

It looks like hopeless chaos to the casual observer. But politi- cians responsible for the work blandly promise: "Don't worry,

everything will be fine by Sept. , 7." '

!“Red" Deserter l Handed Back To ’Soviet Officials

VIENNA, Aug. 31—(AP)--A Rus- sian air force officer who deserted last year and offered to fight for the United States was handed back today to Soviet authorities here.

I-le ls Lieut. Anatole Bsraov.

who chose the role of a poll- tical refugee and then repented hia action after a lengthy visit in the United States. i America army officials, acting lunder State Department orders. placed Barsov in Russian custody this morning only a few miles from the United States air base whcre he crash-landed his Russian bomber last Oct. 9.

Barsov, 29, and his navigator, Piotr Pirogov, flew their plane from the Western Ukraine after what they said was more than a your of planning. They were taken to the United States last Feb- ruary. A Russian sergeant who accompanied them on their escape flight was returned immediately In Soviet authorities at his own request.

CANADA'S FINEST CIGARETTE

Dollar Exchange Scheme Studied

MONTREAL, Aug. 31 — (CP) — Gordon Pallant, treasurer of the young men's section of the Mon- treal Board of Trade, said tonight that the Association's ‘Tourist Pro- motion Committee was studying possible exchange of Canadian sil- ver dollars for United States cur- rency.

Mr. Pallant was commenting on a Halifax report which said the Junior Board of Trade of that city had conducted a campaign where- by American tourists exchanged US. dollars for silver Canadian dollars. This, they said, helped in- crease flow of badly needed Amer- loan dollars into Canada. The scheme brc-usht $30,000 in U.S. cur-

The report of Montreal 1111111" board ls expected in about two weeks, Mr. Pallant said. The board -will then draw up a plan for a Isimilar campaign here. The idea ha-s been suggested for Canada- ‘vvide participation.

i Such a campaign. it was estim- -ated could bring $3,000,000 in Am- ierican currency.

y Mr. Paliant said the money thus brought in would be almost an outright gift to Canada since most of the silver dollars. such as the Newfoundland commemorative sil- ver dollars sold in Halifax, would be kept as souvenirs by American tourists.

Stiff Warning To Underground

PRAGUE, Aug. 3i - (AP) - Communist - run Czechoslovakia warned today that all under- ground actlvity will be ruthlessly suppressed.

The controlled press issued the warning on the heels of Pra- gue's announcement Tuesday that In armed revolt aimed at over- throwing the government has been crushed.

(A Reuters News Agency dis- patch from Vienna. quoting sources in the Austrian Foreign Office. laid that Czech guards tonight sealed the frontier between Cze- choslovakia and Austria. No one was allowed to enter or leave Czechoslovakia, the Austrian sources said.)

The Czech press also published

a rash of new attacks on the western powers. It accused them of supporting and directing the

underground in Czechoslovakia.

Through its press. the Som- munlst regime warned that Jail terms await any citizen who knows about anti-government plotting and fails to tell police about it promptly.

"We should remember," the newspaper Obrana Lidvu said. "that our law No. 35 provides prison terms of one to five years fol iailure to report such activities."

The kingdom of Belgium formed Itself into an Independent state in 1830, having been part of the Netherlands for i6 years.

The oldest college fraternity is the Kappa Alpha Society, founded in 1825.

With The Kids 0n The Playgrounds

This is the week when school books are dusted off in order to prevent a double layer of dust on them for the ensuing year. lt doesn't seem anytime since we were pouring over books for the final exams, and wondering how hard or easy each teacher was going to be on us. Now we start again; most of us with a full and contrite intention to devote the best. of our time to our books and lat the rest of the world roll by —until the first day of school.

Connaught Square held the re- cord forenrollment on the Dalvay expeditions with the record crowd of 119. There was no swimming on Thursday last when the above youngsters made their trip, but there was no slackening of enter- tainment until the three trucks were loaded again for the return journey. Ball games, sports, and revival of the wild and wooly west days provided those untir- ing youngsters with fun aplenty. Any tourists who happened to 4e around the area may have felt that a World War III had just broken out but had they ventur- ed .closer their fears "might" have been calmed by the know- ledge that it was just a bunch of kids playing cowboy and In- dians.

Track and field meets constitute the main stir on the playgrounds this week. Connaught Play- grounds held its long entry filled bill of sporting events on the square Tuesday night. before a large crowd of interested specta- tors. Eddy Kays won the high jump easily with a nice leap of 4 feet, 1 inch, and a broad jump of 12 feet, 7 inches by Bobby Drew gave him the nod over his nearest competitor, Bobby Burke with a leap of 12 fcet, 5 inches.

Tonight, Thursday, beginning at ti o'clock sharp, the athletes on King Square will match skills against one another for place lion- ors in the elimination contest in preparation for the grand track and field meet scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 6th on Memorial Field.

The track meet at Memorial Field on Tuesday will comprise the successful competitors in the track meets on the three squares. This means that the boys or girls who placed first, second or third in the contest on their square will be the only eligible competi» lors in the big meet. The Pet Show to be held at Memorial Field on the same day in conjunction with the track meet will come un- cler the same regulations as the track meet. Therefore, unless you were successful in gaining a first. second or third in the show on your square you will .be in- eligible to enter a pet on Tues- day. Hillsborough Square won the trophy last year for the play- ground collecting the highest num- ber of points in the track meet. This lovely trophy is a prize in itself. to say nothing of the Wnn- derful prizes given for individual competition, and no doubt King and Connaught Squares will be going out with a determined et- fort to take that trophy away from the Hillsborough youngsters this year.

The Playgrounds will close their summer entertainment programme this season by staging the "Soap Box Derby" or "Pushmobile Race" on Sept. 7th. This event has been held in previous years on Gallows Hill but may be changed this year tn order to give a long ride to the drivers and their me- chanics. Remember fellows when you are preparing for this race that if your best friend happens to want to drive and you do ‘too; the mechanic also shares an im- portant spot and is just as help- ful to the winning of a race as the driver. He is the guy who gives that push at the top and all the driver does is steer. so don't feel too badly about it if you are "only" mechanic.

Ball games are still in progress and an even greater interest is being witnessed in the games now than at the first of the sea- son due to the playoffs. Just which square will carry off tho honors is as yet undetermined, but this much may be said. . The boys are supposed to be gouri ball players because of their na- ture, but the girls on both the junior and senior softball terms are going out to prove that they can play ball every bit'as good as their brothers. Boys will have to look to their laurels in this field of sport or there is very apt to be a revolution in the baseball world before many years to come.

The Playground Commission fake this opportunity to thank Miss Frances Johnson from the Arts and Grafts Guild for hcr assistance during the past sum- mer and also the many others who contributed in any way to the entertainment or welfare of Charlottetown youngsters.

Au Revoir and good playing.
