Britain's golfers were rendered unhappy when a wigged and robed justice on King's Bench declared he saw nothing wrong with the practice of pocketing bails found on golf courses. Golf was making an effort» to thwart golf ball-snat- chers, and the justice was hearing an appeal from a man who had been fined S4 after being found on a golf course with a poeketfui of lost balls.

The justice. during the emu rnent, broke in and said, "ilf I picked ‘up a. golf ball while Walk- ing across the common and put it in my pocket, I should not_think I bad been guilty of larceny.”

whereupon a tactful defence counsel remarked, "One'a reaction to golf balls may depend very largely upon whether one is a

golfer." 4 4 4 4

ay, we understand it's fair- ly well established here, where all courses are on private ground. that it is an oflence to pick up golf balls. particularly before they have stopped rolling.

And it's only a few days before the International League baseball season openers are held at Montreal and Toronto.

A Canadian Press survey showed that horse racing, golf and base- ball were the east’s major sports. On the Prairies softball and foot- ball take the limelight and la.- crosse, baseball and. tennis are favored at the Pacific coast.

Girls softball will ha/ve the run of the Prairie Provinces with foot- ball as the Western Interprovln- cial Football Union prepares for its fall schedule. British Columb-

lans are expected" to spend a. major

proportion of the spring season watching a five-team lacrosse lea- gue which includes last season's Mann Cup winners. the Adanacs.

At Charlottetown, tennis is slat- ed for a. big season. The capital has bid for the Eastern Canada tennis championships.

‘Three senior ball leagues will have Nova Scotia fans hopping. with Sackville to be the horse race fans’ paradise. Fishing for trout and salmon opens in the Province next week. Golf and yachting will also have their followers.

New Brunswick baseball fans are hoping for a. new provincial loop and although there is nothing de- finite, it is expected the circuit will start this spring.

‘Ihere are 20 golf courses on Montreal Island expected to at- tract ciose to 17.000 players. \

Baseball will lead the parade in Ontario with the 0 B. A. the top amateur body. Go ng and tennis will have their followers as. will the growing lacrosse circuits. The Gov nmenrs extensive restocking program will more than take care of the anglers needs.

In contrast to Quebec, Manitoba fans favor the girls‘ version of softball. the men's game expected lo befieplaced by baseball this sea-_ son.

Although girls‘ softball also holds the spotlight in Saskatchewan, the Northern Saskatchewan baseball loop is also expected to attract at- tention.
