(By James Pendergut)

At that time the news had got- ten abroad pretty well about the big prices for live block foxes on P. E. Island - even some of the Indians had heard. I went up river some 40 or 50 miles to see an Ind- iaii who was reported to have dug out a den of five "black" foxes. They looked tawny and quite dark, but they turned out to be all "reds".

I had never seen fox pups and

- thought there was a. possibility of,

their iieing black. I bought thenil for about 25 or 30 dollars, and took! them down to the basement of thei liotcl, got a boy at the hotel mi fccd them for about. two months while I was tip the Slccena and Biilklcv, and up the coast to Juneau and Wrangell and on the stikinc to, Tclvgrapli Creck.

Pcrsoiial cxpericnces must be something out of the ordinary to) hold the interest of readers. I'mp afraid the digression and ratheri long account or the Skeena exped-i iilon will cause iiunierous yawns. The account of the Stlkiiie excur-I, sions in lillfi and l9l-i will be leftl for some future ii-ritiiig.

The coastal trip is one of grand scenic lieaiivty. The snow capped inoiiiiiaiiis of the mainland are like seiitincls ivhich have stood watch; for millions of years. The islands arc hcavily wooded with large tim-i b'r -- the forest prinicval. They? .1pp(':ii' to bc rocky and nioiintaln- ous.

Rcccnt ncws items report tliati the RC. govcrnniem, is sbriousiyl coiisidcriiig a gift of one of those islands to Lord Mollllivbhiicll and; Queen Elizabeth. It would be a fliiel gesture surely, but its hard to see that the Royal Couple could have time or inclinatioii tr) give atten- tion to a wood island in the Pac- iiir.

Du-.-trig the Royal visit in the slimmer of 1939, Queen Elizabeth clcpressed I wish to own one of those islands. It was perhatps a passing: bit. of sentiment. She thought she would like sui-cease, from "The fierce white llfzflll, which boats upon 3 throne" for a. few days.

I don't. recall much conversation with othcr passengers on tho voy-. ago. We wcrc introduced in Patter- son (Pat) at the wharf in Seattle, just. as the boat. was leaving. We. made the acquaintance of another very tall fellow enroutc. There was a German woman whose English husband was in Dawson who gave a very vivid description of a train hold-up and robbery ivhich she had experienced in travelling tihrmigb the Siskiyou mountains cn- route to Germany during the pre- vious fall.

There had been scarcely any train robfblng during the interval after the daring robberies by Jesse James and his gang, and this one was world news. I had remember- cd reading about it. The leaders wore two yoimiz punk desperaclocs. They were brothers.

Their method was the old one employed by the James gang-vik two of tihem boarded the engine and tender as tiiie train pulled out of a station. Others would go aboard tfhe ears, or get on the brake rods. The forward desperadoes would crawl over the tender into nhe cab and overcome the driver and fire- man and bring the train to a. stop. Then promisceous revolver shoot- ing would begin so as to break as many windows and terrify as many passengers as possible. When the

A scowling "front" orders the

ssengers to deliver their money and jewelry which is dumped into a bag held by his confederate. The people are generally ossifled with fear and readily disgorge their money and valuables. There are al- ways some who in extreme emer- gencies retain their wits and com- posure and can hide their money some way for the time being, but the hiding must be done instantly before the holdup men get. in the car. The slightest movement by a fidgsty passenger would be seen by the gunman, and would be a simiai for R fusiiade of shots.

Those desperatloes are under high tension probably "hopped up" by heroin or marijuana drugs. They can't afford to relax once their hand is in. Th: quick wit and composure of the German woman stood hei in good stead. On hearing the first shots, she crammed her money and much nugget and diamond jewelry into a small purse and threw the purse into a cuspidor which fort- iiii.-ttely for her iiappeiied to bc n.arby. She saved out a one dol- lar note which she passed to the He looked at her and said :Is that all you got?” She said "yes". He threw it back to her with a scoivl of disgust.

The sporting fraternity lost another member yesterday in the death of Les Hooper, well known barber and sports devotee. Les lost his life as the result of a car-accident. on a fishing trip, a past-time which he enjoyed tremendously during the spring and summer months, There were few, if any. more ardent trout fishermen than Les. who spent a great deal of his spare time at the fly-casting game. . .

in the winter Les was an ardent a follower of hockey as he was of fishing in the summer. For sev- eral years he was manager of the East Royalty Royals and was one of the members who helped organ- izc that club. He also had other hockey players. There were few subjects which Les liked discussing more than hockey and many's the en- tertainiiig talk we have had with him about it. His friendly wave from the barbersliop chair will in- deed be missed. To his wife, four- year-old son David, mother and sister we extend our sincere sym- pathy. . . 0 The Island League baseball 0(- ficials will attempt this evening to play another game on Memorial Field.

There have been quite a stories coming out of Quebec to the effect that pay rolls of several Major Hockey League teams were no higher than s230:i with many or the players drawing no higher than 5100. They all may be quite true but the other day an interesting article appeared in the Brantford Exposiier regarding players salar- ies in Allan Cup play. According to the article the Saull; Ste. Marie Greyhounds are eyeing two starry members of the Strstford Indians who were one of the big clubs in Allan Cup hockey last spring.

The report from the Sydney meeting last night that the Mil- lionaires were only &'l,000 in the red comes as something of a sur- prise especially after hearing the reports that came out of Sydney during and since the hockey leas- on. The statement that Sydney would string along with Maritime Major Hockey next year is not so much of I sprprise. It would be pretty hard to imagine the Mil- lionaires dropping down to 1 low- er calibre of hockey that their neighbors from Glace Bay. The meeting last night passed a mat-

ion to immediately secure 0. top flight coach for next year. 0 0 0 Jean Bellvesu will be at the

Montreal Canldiens training camp next fall, reports Bax O'Meara in the Montreal Star. O'Meara. writes: "He will decide then what he in- tends to do. He has to make a monumental decision and he isn't being pressed. It isn't true that he has signed up with the Aces. O'Meara also reports that Maur- ice Richard feels in much improv- ed health and that he expects to have a. much better season next yell.

Carl Erskine, 25-year-old Brook- lyn rlglithander, pitched the Na- tional League's first no-run. no- hit. game of 1952 Thursday as the Dodgers: defeated Chicago Cubs for the third straight time, 5-0.

Erskine allowed only one batter to reach base, just missing be- coming the first pitcher to turn in a perfect game since Charley Robertson retired 27 straight De- lroit Tigers April 30, 1922.

The walk was to Willard Rams- dcll, opposing pitcher, in the third inning. Erskine threw four straight balls to the weak-hitting Chicago moundsman.

The only other pitcher to hurl a no-hitter this year was Virizll Trucks of the Tigers who blank- ed Washington Senators 1-0 May 15. The last Brooklyn pitcher to do the trick was Rex Barney when be shut out. New York Giants Sept. 9, 1948.

Erskine llild fine fielding sup- port bcliind him although only five balls were hit to the out- field. Tliird baseman Bobby Mor- gan, shortsiop Pccwcc Reese. and second baseman Jzickic Robinson all came up with fielding gems while riglitfielder Carl Furillo caught two files. Erskine took a hand in retiring six Cubs at (irsi, 1-in fanned only one.

The Dodgers tallied thrice in in the first inning when Recsc singled, and Roy Czinipanclla and

Furillo homered. Andy Pnfkn chased Hacker in the fourth with his 10th homer.

Brooklyn increased its first-

placc margin over the Gianis to five games as Pittsburgh' Pirates whipped the defending champions 8-l behind the five-hit pitchinz of Murray Dickson. A five-run rally at thc expense of Larry Jansen in the third got the Pir- aios oil winging.

The Pirates got 12

hits, in-

The Sunshine Island Dairy, be- hind the two hit. pitching of Cedric Ballem, whitewashed Home": Motors lll-0 while the Guardian Angels and Maritime Electric battled to a. 15-15 draw in the City League Softball games last night.

Ballem, who hasbeen used most- ly in relief this year, started his first league game and during the seven innings he worked surrend- ered hiis to only Leo Lamoureux and Ray Frederick of Hornc's. Both hits were singles.

Lamoureux. also making his first siqrt went all the way for Home": He pitched 10-hit. ball but poor fielding behind him gave the milk- men it lot of unearned runs. It was Home's first league game.

Cliff Jackson and J. Gallant of the dalrymen provided Lamoureux with most. of his trouble. Jackson sacked a. triple and two singles in five trips to the plate while Gal- lant collected three hits in four tries.

Angie Carroll came through with the fielding play of the game when he raced in from his left field post. to grab what should have been a Texas League single behind third base.

The win moves The suns” Is- land Dairy far out in front in" the league standings. They have three wins in three starts for six points.

The Maritime Electric-Guardian Angels battle was a. thriller. The Angels earned a draw in the last of the seventh inning when they came up with two runs to even the count. Vernon Garrett snuffed out the Guardian rally when he made I spectacular catch of Billy Acorn's line drive into left field, leaving two Angels on the base- paths and ending the gamef

Both starting pitchers, Neil Young of the Guardian and George Schleycr of the Maritime Electric went the route. Young, after ii shakey start. settled down to hurl good ball while achleyer started strong but weakened in the late innings.

Reg Hughes and W. Hughes of Maritime Electric each came through with three (hits in five trips to win batting honors during the evening. Gene Ward, catcher for the Angels. gave the but field- ing display of the game as he no- ed far back of the plain several times to gather in fouls.

The G rdinn-Maritime lllectrii-. game was cspably handled by Jack Hcnnesscy.

Umpire for the sunshine Island Dairy-I-lorne's game was Jim Hughes while L. Costello and A. A. nsult worked the bases.
