of our best trottdrs and pacer . There. is no question but it has played the largest part in en- couraging owners to keep good brood mares and to breed them to the several good stallions which we have. here. Prince Ed- ward Islsnd in respect to the breeding and development of colts has been very well named the "Kentucky of Canada" and that is a re utation we don't want to lose. Y u, only have to look over the summaries of Maritime races and those in nearby Maine to see horses-raised and developed here winning a good share of the purse money. The Association has been fortunate to have. at its head Dr. R. 1". Seaman, President. and W. G. Gillespie, Secretary-Treav urer. These two men and their board of directors work untiring-

The player would then bring the point of the pencil down hoping it would be on a high number instead of missing the circle altogether. That's what Hun shooting boils down to in a 40 mile per hour wind.

I-lune and pheasants are prime game birds at the moment. Single Huns rocketting from alder swales look almost as big as Ruficd grouse and act like grouse at times. A 16 or 17 ounce bird makes for a. hefty handful.

speedatars with the powder puff tails have been quite scarce this last few years. I have observed deep trodden runways in the mos- sy turf . . . promising rabbit signs. Rabbit. hunting is a sport all its own. No bleak marsh or shoreline stretching into the distance with a Nor'wester bounc' hail pellets off ones chin with a tantalizing skein of geese or ducks on a far skyline. Or climbing. fences and crossing endless stubble fields as one heads carward at days end with burning heels and legs that feel as if they are about to part from the hip sockets. in one Yan- kee hunter I initiated into the thrills of Hungarian partridge hunting remarked: "You build your fences awful high coming on night." More truth than poetry in that.

Says Al Missed Boat in Picking Kansas City

NEW YORK (AP---Bill Veeck left for Chicago Thursday, declar- ing the American League had missed the boat by picking Kan- sas City over Los Angeles as a site for the franchise of the Phila- delphia As.

Veeck, former Cleveland and St. Louis owner ill the junior circuit. said the American League will be sorry for passing up a golden op- portuniiy.

Hilton's name did not figure pub- licly in any dealings for the Ath- letics and the Mack family said several times the offer to move to Kansas City by Arnold Johnson was the only solid money one re- ceived. except for a local syndi- cate which was rebuffed.
