. . I George (Belville Intclligerlecr) Carver, passes on some baseball anecdotes collected by Arthur D3. Icy. Sports Editor of the New York Times. which ln turn this column passes on to you. ils readers. One concerns a baseball which defies: the_laws of gravity and wrm the‘ Nﬂiimiﬂi i-eaﬁue pennant for Brooklyn in 1916. . - - "Cutshaw rifled a shot to right field and the ball rolled to the base of the Ebbets Field fence. As soon as it reached the fence, it be- gan to climb tho surface as though pullzd upward by a string. Lazlly 1t crawled up the barrier, tectered on the top, and rolled over for a game-winning home run."

- . . The Yankees lost a pennant by a freak misfortune in 1933, notes QEOFSP "Lou Gehrig held up at secondho‘ see If Tony Lazzerfs long drive would be caught. Dixie Walk- er, lust behind hlm on the base Paths, didn't hesitate and Walker and Gehrig slid home with the throw almost simultaneously. Catcher Luke Sewell acrobatlciilly tagged Gehrig on one side uf the plate and Walker on the other side for one of baseball's most re- markable double plays."

I I I

‘ltrlple plays don't come with ex- traordinary frequency, but Carver tells of the triple play that atandl out above them all. “T110 bases were full with none out when Joe Cronin teed off on a juicy pllch ‘The ball handcuffed Sammy Hale at thlrd base. whisking between his outstretched hands and crack- ing hlm on the forehead.

‘Rotting and pacing duels gal- ore, equalling anything witnessed so far this season are expected at tonight's harness racing meeting at tihe Exhibition track when n total of 64 trotters and pacer-s come to the wire in the nine dash events scheduled.

Sensational 1s a mlld term in describing the meetings held so far this season and such will be the case tonight, frcm the time the first field g€ts the word from Starter Russell Abbott to the moment vuhen they come under the wire 1n the final mile. Classes have been Evenly matched in all preceding meetings but: ' lktniglitks looks to be the closest classifying yet with the photo Jlrtlsh camera likely to be called upon to sep- arate the horses at: the wire.

‘Most interest likely will centre on the numbers three and eight events when the mammoth-trotting Nell Kalvmuck will match strides with one othtr trotter bee Brewer and four pacers all of which can clip a mile off in the vicinity of 2 10. The two trotters carmot be discounted and it promises to be a whale of a battle in the two miles the classy field will partake in.

But it is the same story all down the card. Every one has it chance of winning no matter how they performed previously and it is more than Likely that the crowd will be brought to its feet on more than one occasion as some "outsider" literally comes from nowhere to nip the pro-race favorites at the wire.

The first dash will be rent away at. 8 45 sharp and for the next three hours fans should receive more than their share of harness racing thrills.

JULY 16, 1949

A lot of ground was oovererfht the quarterly meeting of the P.E.I. Fish and Game Association held at Charlottetown on July 8. Among

other resolutions the seasons on upland game were recommend- ed for the shooting season of 1949. It remains for the Provincial Gov- ernment to put the OK. on the recommendations before they be- come law. I I I

The season on Cock pheasants was requested from October 15th till October 31st inclusive . .. . l4 shooting days, almost treble the, five day season that has been in vogue since pheasants were plac- ed ln the legal game bracket. 1n case some may be of the opinion that the Association was inclined to be extreme in their request on the pheasant season I wish to of- fer this explanation. To begin with the matter of the pheasant season was given careful consideration.

I I I

For several years the opinion has been growing that the five day season was too short. In Oct- ober Lhe Ring-neck is a resource- ful and cagey hlrd. For the ordin- ary business man, ulho at the most. would have two afternoons out of the five days hls chances of it pheasant dinner were close to ten to one against him. If the holiday happened to be rainy the odds were even greater. This applies of course to the conscientious gunner. To the hunter who held a sort of grudge against the rnultl-colored cocks because they refused to of- fer themselves as a target during the open season whether the legal shooting days were five or ten, it didn't greatly matter. If the big red roosters happened to burst, clsckllng derislvely, from some al- der swamp or swale within range of some of those gentry he was due to dodge some hot lead whether the season was open or not.

I...I.. .I

The comment on the suggested season to date has been favour- able. It gives the real sportsmen a good chance to bag a legal pheas- ant dinner with the odds still fav- ouring the big birds. There is a splendid crop of breeding birds and the outlook for a good shoot- ing season is bright. No one need waste toc- much sympathy on i; Cock pheasant in October but in mid winter and early spring it's a for different matter. When winter snows lie deep and storms sweep the countryside. the old Cock birds look with longing eytxs on the plump blddics scratching ln shel- tered farmyards and a, natural caution that filled them 1h thc Indian Summer days gradually seeps away and they are inclined to stick their necks out.

The Hungarian partridge season was requested as from October 1st to November 11th, boLh days Inclu- sive. This columnist raised an ob- jection to having the Hun season run into November. Not that the l-luns wouldn't be able to stand the hunting pressure, although If non-resident gunners keep in- creasing ln number, hunting prea- sure may become a. factor. but be- cause of our Ruffed grouse, The first half of November ls a critical time for our grouse. Ferns and other wood growth have died and visibility is perfect. On crisp mornings when the ground is cov- ered with hoar frost the grouse love to sun themselves on old logs ln woodland clearings or along the

sunny exposed side of wood roads. . a .

IIVhen disturbed at this time and season they are not inclined to take wing or scurry into hiding like they do in October but will often twut twut and scold with their fanlike tails spread out at the mme time jerking their heads and necks back and forth in time to mtnclng steps on the frost cover- ed leaves. Methinks that. any ben- efit that may have accrued to the Ruffed grouse by having the first two weeks cut off the rabbit sca- sori (It now opens on November 15th) will be lost if the Hun season runs tlll November 11th. The rea- son given for shortening the rab- bit semen was to keep the "mm hunters out of the woods during the first half of the month. Why keep the rabbit hunters out and let the Hun hunters In? To this columnist! way of thinking its im- possible to differentiate between the two.

Two splendid conservation mena- ures were mooted at the meeting. Ono was to have a bounty of l0 cents placed on every pair of crows‘ feet or five cents per foot. In ad- dition it was recommended that suitable prizes, preferably in mer- chnndlze or silverware, be award- ed to those who brought in the greatest number of crew's feet. The contest word end on Airgun. 31;: t1 It becomes a reality this cum- mer. It was not deemed advisable to give gunners m allbl for roam- ing the creeks and marshes In Septembc when the wild ducks are beginning to try out their wings. Crows are noticeably more

Three blg counters in the fourth inning proved to be more than enough for the winners but they contin- ued to siege the Vlcs‘ young hur- ler, Cliff Ready. who had _beaten them twice before.

The losers opened the scoring

in the second inning as they combed the oﬁer-ings of Garth Crockett, the winners’ starting

hurler for two hits and combined them with a walk. an error, and two ﬂelders’ choices which were good for three runs. But tilt! McNeil coached crew came back in their half of the same frame to score a brace of runs and in the next inning scored the tieing tally. In the ﬁrst half of the fourth the Vics broke the dead- lock as they scored another run. Their lead was short lived, how- ever, when the Kinsmen came on to score three runs to account for their margin of victory. But they did not stop their onslaught there. They scored another run in the fifth and added their final two in the sixth.

Leading the winners‘ attack on the Vlcs pitcher were Bud Ros- slter. Jack Williams and Joe Coyle. Each of these batters had two hits for their evening's work. Ilosslter and Lewis of the Kins- men, and Wally Shepherd of the Vics, each walloped triples to ac- count for the longest hits of the game. Eddy Lund, the Vlcs' ﬁrst sacker and the league's leading hitter, increased his lead in the individual batting race as he sock- cd out a brace of singles in three times at bat.

Crockett started on the mound for the winners but was relieved in the third inning by Earl Perry. The latter went on to win his first decision of the year for the

Kins-rhea Juniors. Crockett wu touched for three hits while walking one and striking out twg others. Perry In his stay on u" mound allowed ﬂve hits while walking none but hlttlng two Vi; batters. He struck out four of thq losers. Cliff Ready in losing hi| ﬁrst game of the year was touch. ed for eight hits by the Kinsmen batters. walking two and wlllfflng four others.

Toronto Youth Steals Show At Empire Trials

EAST YORK MEMORIAL STAD- IUM, Toronto, July 15-—(CP)-—Rich Ferguson, 17-year-old blond bomb- shell from the North Toronto track club-stole all the honors at the opening of the two-day Dominion track and field championship and British Empire Games trials today.

Apart from his performance-a record-breaking Canadian native mark in the three-mile run-the meet was unimpresslve.

On the same card with many of the Dominica's 1948 Olympic team. the kid with the crew haircut jogged around the track in the re- cord time of 14 nlinutes, 40.8 sec- onds. It was the only record reg- istered as nearly 200 athletes from various parts of Canada dug their spikes Into the spongy track In an effort to win a trip to the B. E. fines in New Zealand next Feb.

A crowd of about 1,000 watched the four-hour meet which produced only so-sn times in the track events and far-from-lmpresslve distances 1n the field events.

Olympic athletes- particularly Don and Bob McI-‘nrlane, the Lon- don, Ont., middle-distance runners, and Don Pettle, the Calgary sprint- er whose expenses to the champion- ships were paid for ‘by the Cal- gary City Council-showed track form.

Their marks weren't up to Games standards set by track officials, but they weren't pressed to the limits.

Pettl, who advanced to the semi- finals In the 200-metre event at the Olympics last year, came up with n 10.1 mark in the 100-yard semi-fin- nls-fastest of the day in the sprint ——to qualify for tomorrow's finals. He advanced to the semi-finals In the 220-yilrd sprint, with a time of 22.5, also the fastest of the day In this event.

The McFarlane brothers qualified for the finals of the 440-yard event and both advanced to the semi-fin- als In the 220-yard sprint.

The 440-yard nice saw Ed l-lennl- ger and Jack Birriey, both of Vim- couver, Jlm Daly of Winnipeg and Pat Walker of Edmonton, advance to the finals with the McFarlane brothers.

David Boswell of Victoria, P.E.I.. lone entrant from the Marltlmes. didn't get pant his heat In the 440- yard race, only event In which hi! ls entered.

One Olympic athlete —— Jimmy O'Brien of Toronto-probably lolt his chance for a trip to New Zea- land. He won his heat in the 100- yard sprint but he came up with a leg injury In the leml-flnnla and was forced to retire.
