Your Old friend Robert "Bob" Brown has had the time of his life this winter jogging the mat-c he our- chased at Harrishurlz. She is in great shape and showing up well. One of our most enthusiastic horsemen. is Bob Hamilton, a met- al worker by trade, who is held tip for materials to complete some furnaces on order. So he has kept husy by building carts and a sulky. The carts are twarubber tired and one bike cart that is a dandy. The bike Job was a. make-over and it is just like new. Bob is n mighty handy man to have around these dnyrwhen bikes and carts are so hard to buy.

There has been a lot of ice rac- ins in Maine but we had none in this particular viclnilynyln the old days we used to have plenty

over-y winter at Woodstock and Cantrevllle. However. with the new enthusiasm engendered by‘

the opening of the track and the: many horses that will he attract-i ed by its favorable training condi- tions we expect to see the harness sport back where it was in its former palmy days."

A member of the clan MacKin- non llnda us s. sport page of the Evening Bulletin published in Philadelphia, with a feature ar- ticle by "Red" Smith headed- Harness Horsemen No Hothouse Blossoms. It gives a very racy and lntaestlng account of harness horse training at Aiken, S. C in the lost week of March where 300 runners and 1M trolters and pac- ars are stablad and get daily work- outs. A good part of it is taken up with an account of a visit to the track by Jimmie Johnson. Whose wlfa was the former Miss Frances Dodge and whose com- bined Mfunes ens-hie them to Ratify their love of horses. It will ho remembered that when bop Phlln and E. J.

The paper said that Clancy, now in Toronto, had not appeared "too surprised“ to bear the report in a long-tjstanee telephone conversa- tion with a Gazette reporter. How- ever, the paper said Clancy in» slated that as yet the Chicago club had not approached him. Clancy was quoted as saying that he could "consider" any offer.

Canada’: Mr. Baseball Dies

hllONTRlElAL. April 4- (OP) - Joe Page. who came to be innown as Canada's Mr. Baseball although he was born in Chicago, died here last night after a lengthy illness. 1-1:- was about 80.

A former major league catcher with Indianapolis in the old Na- tional League, Page came to Oa- nada in T889 settling in Montreal. Be worked with the Canadian Ia- olfic nail-way from 1832 until he retired in 193W.

Page held a record of having attended every World Series in ‘Jusebull since their inception. He suffered a stroke during the 194-6 series and liarl bccn under hospi- tnl cart- sincc.

Page played ii part in orgillll/jllg and promoting at least 15 ln-ovlnc- ial and inter-provincial baseball leagues in (fantasia and in bringing the international and Canadian- Anncrican leagues to this Cbll-llify.

Page. a. catcher in his playrmg days, is survived by ins widow and four of their 10 children.

down feeling when the price drops back to the $1.00 and loses inter- est. 1t is loo much to expect that the Department. of Agriculture will continue to pay $3.00. For the past 10 years the annual kill of skunks has averaged four thous- and and at the latest price offered for snouts would mean an annual outlay of $12,000.

This scribe remembers well the night when a large number of sportsmen met and discussed lire feasibility of asking the Provincial Government to plat-e n, hou: y of 50c per snout on all skunks kilicd in the province. For m-me l".‘Flill or other I was suplosed iu he well acquainted with the skunk "

ilaiion and was asked hy‘i.iic meeting how many skunks l thought were in the province. When I told them I estimated.

them well up in the thousands, maybe eight or nine thousand. . . . many of the members laughed out loud and stated that eight or

nine hundred would be nearer tuc mark. y

The 50c bounty wcni. into cffccll that spring and in the first 12 months 6.000 (six thousanull skunk snout: were presented ‘or; payment. The next year it was ffva’ thousand. . . eleven thousand in the first two years. After that the. annual lake dropped to nearer the four thousand mark and sgmggnel had n bright idea and suggested that the bounty be raiséi to $1.00 and clean them up in a hurry. The increase didn't have the desir- ed effect and the price was nut back to 50c. When that happened the boys stopped hunting them al- most entirely and officials had no other recourse then to put the bounty back to one dollar.

1 can well imagine that if the bounty is ever put back on at $1.00 the country boys will not be too interested in killing skunks but will sit tight till conditions be- come so bad that authorities will be forced to raise the unte.

Dtwlng the last week in March. 24th to 31st, 220 skunk snouts were mailed in or presented at the bounty office at the then current rate of one dollar. April has al- ways been the biggest month as shown by put returns and taking the last week in March as a basis the present April would have shown approximately one thous- and skunk snouts turned in at ‘.11.. $1.00 rate.

It wl-ll be interacting to watch the reaction to the substantial bounty increase. Unless the kill is at least 3,000 it makes no appre- clable inroad into the skunk pop- ulation. We have plenty of them. i-n fart far loo many for the good of our game birds and all other species that nest on the ground. The fact that the average annual take of 4,000 over u number of YBRFS Ila! fﬂilcd t0 halt their steady increase will give some idea of the numbers present.

A vsclliating poli-cy will never get us anywhere in controlling the skunk menace and unless some definite plan is adopted and ad- hered to this obnoxious predator, introduced into the province in 101']. will increase in numbers sufficient to cause terrific losses to our wild life as well as our val- uable poultry industry.
