AI Rollins To Start In Goal Fonllhioago

NORTH BAY. Ont, Sept. 24- fcPl-President Bill Tobin and coach Charlie Conacher’ have named Al Rollins of the Edmon- ton Flyers, 1948 Allan Cup champ- ions, to start in goal for Chicago Black Hawks Saturday night in their first pro-season exhibition game against their farm olub. Kansas City Pia-liters.

This may be the tlpoff that the Hawks, who have failed in their Efforts to purchase a netmiiider if proven N. H. L, calibre. will gamble with Rollins as their goalie this season. "His work has impressed me very much." said Tobin. last year's goalie-Bimile Franciwalso ls with the team.‘

Moi-hill‘ Prospect who may have earned himself a starting berth is loe Conn, rugged i-earguard up from Kansas City. Conn has been named to the team which will go into action Saturday night. He'll share defence duty with the es- tablished foursome of Bob Gold- ham. llirnie Dickens, Ralph us“- rass and Bill Jadsby.

Aside from these new faces the Hawks will introduce only their last season's squad. which. how- "cr. was flying towards the end of the last campaign.

town of flzilllt. Dn-le H. must‘ be getting along pretty well in years but he is still able to take many of the pscers into camp as he won the 2:18 Conditioned Pace that evening in 2:12 from a good field. rm- yesrs he was campaign- ed by 5. A. Wathen 8s Boris. his breeders, then sold to Walter Hen- nessey, who rsoed him with great Iucoesl. and since that he has passed through several hands. The same evening his half broth- er Guy H. out of Dula H., won the 1 1/10 mile pace from a fast field for driver H. LalRochelle of Que- bec. Other starters that evening were whim/way, owned by J. H. Breen. Halifax, that was eighth for driver W. Hood in the six furlongs race for 2:20 pacers. An- cther starter in the same event was the ex-MaritL-ner My Part- ner. that Joe O'Brien gave his record .of 2:09 1-5 to at the first night race held over the Char- lottetown track in 1947. My Part- ner finished sixth. The total han- dle of the pari-mutuels that ev- 1min: was over $100,000. Our friend George has a notation on the back-"Dsle H. paced the fastest half-mile of the evening." We note that among the track re- cords for pacers the 6% furlorigs in 1:42 2-5 and the 1 1/16 mile in 2:14 4-6, the name of Tip Abbe and Joe O'Brien as driver is still tops.

One of the outstanding days of all time in the history of harness racing was during the Grand Cir- cuit races at Indianapolis, Ind.. two weeks ago where in about three hours the trotters and pae- ers raced twelve heats that called for the distribution of $96,268. The reason that so much money was competed for that day was due to the previous day's racing being rained out and it was ncase of two afternoons in one. It may be mentioned that permission for psrl-mutuel betting has not yet been granted by the legislature of Indiana eo there was no specula- tion on any of the events, the most of which were stake races. such as 3-year-old trot. horsemens futurity, purse $12,130.00; pace. $9,930.14; 2-year-old trot. horse- msn’s stake, $34,246.08; Drank P. Fox pacing stake for two-year- olds. purse $32,159.37, etc, etc.

At Rutland, Vt.. fair two weeks ago last Thursday it was Free For All day and there were 79 start- ers in the eleven races. The Free For All Trot was won by Heart of Cl-Old. piloted by Aubrey Pod- riey, who first becrme famous as the driver of Baden 22051.5 by Bingars. With him he made an almost clean sweep of the Grand Circuit stakes in 1912. Later Baden was sold for a reputed price of $25,000 to go to Russia. Tho Free For All Pace was a 59111-1111 B5111‘ between Royal Chief and Dewey Abbe with two miles being paced in 2206 2-5.

Jerry the First 1:50 4-5 is the third new two-minute pacer of the season. He is a. four-year-old chestnut stallion and his sire is Jerry M. 210252, by Bert Abbe 159%. He was practically un- heard or until this your but ‘is now being figured on as likely to take a record of 1:58 or better at Lexington next week.

Last week we mentioned the great aggregate of purse money paid out by the Provincial Exhib- ition Association this season. We just made s guess at it, figuring it was over 027.000. Now we have before us the accurate figures fur- nished by Secretary George H. Buntain—s30.576—the largest sm- cunt of money ever distributed by any race track in the Maritime Provinces. Again our congratula- tions to the officers of the Assoc- iation and our thanks on behalf of the horsemen for providing so many outlets which have resulted in the development of a grand bunch of trotters and pacars as well as giving opportunity to old- er horses to race. Many of us are wont to take things for grant- ed, but having been behind the scenes we can realize what a lot of time and effort has gone into the work of conducting the races and Exhibition, but it was worth- while ss it provided many happy hours for thousands of people,en- eouraged the breeding of better grade live stock and the develop- ment of young trottcrs and pacers that will keep our name to the fore as the Kentucky of Canada.

The tenth annual auction of the Standard Bred Horse sales Company will be held at Harris- burl. Pa... November 8th to 13th. One of the largest lists of con- szgnments in the history of this sale is promised and a leading feature will be the sale of year-

‘Iihls columnist had no idea. how general was the discontent over the clashing of the two seasons until this week. On Wednesday afternoon I dropped in at the Ploughlng Match at Duridas and met sportsmen and local gunners from East Point and Murray Harbour to Malpeque. ‘The first question fired at me was: “What was the big idea of opening the Hun season ahead cl the ducks? Did you want to scare all the ducks out of the country before we had a chance to get a shot at them?” There is a feeling preva- lent thait the game laws are made by a few for the benefit of a few and I think it only fair to this Sportsman's organization to state that the Game Association, offic- ially at least. made no recommen- da-tioii regarding this controver- sial matter of seasons.

. s

Quite recently I received a copy of the Upland Game Bird shooting dates for Alberta, I was surprised to learn that in Alberta, formerly famous for the number of liuns it contained, the open season on Hungarian partridge is limited to one zone and runs from October 6th to October 30th with p, daily bag limit of 5 birds and a season limit of 25. In contrast to Alberta's 25 day season on Huns. in this Province we are allowed 44 shoot- ing days with a daily bag limit of 8 and no season limit.

e 0 e

I sm beginning to wonder if we are not getting too generous with our game birds. In addition to the lengthy season allcnved cn Hungarian partridge with sky the limit as far as the season's kill is concerned, there ls a special $10, non-resident hunting license good for 4 days in force this season. ! understand 0X1 good authority that a large number of outside gunners are taking advantage of this generous con- cession and that many tourist cabins have already been booked as from October 1st.

O O i

Here in this small Province we do not want to make the same mistake with our Huns that South Dakota made with Ring-necked pheasants. A few years back this State was supposed to contain an lnexaustible supply c-f pheasants. The pheasant shooting was adver- tlzed and all and sundry lnvlted to come and shoot to thcir heart's content. Thousands were only too quick to accommodate the State officials and in a few years South Dakota woke up to the fact her pheasants had been killed off to a mere fraction of their‘ former numbers. The game laws were drastically revised. One regulltivn stipulated that no nonresident be allowed to hunt pheasants in the State until local gunners had en- joyed s short open season all on their mm. South Dakota made the mistake nf regulating the shoot- ing ssasoiis to accommodate visit- ing gunners and those who were

in a position to rater to their needs. The birds themselves, slid the amount of hunting they

could safely stand, were not taken into consideration, I I O

It has been this scribes exiperi- ence that non-resident gunners and anglers have a tendency. particularly if they happen to come from a country where fish and game are scarce, to dip into the pot pretty heavily once they strmble upon good fishing or hunting. The letter written to the Patriot recently by a resident of St. Peters describing in detail the luck of a non-resident angler who spent l0 days in ilio Province last summer is a good example of what I mean. I will go into more detail re the contents and certain aspects of this letter at a later date. suffice to say that in this Nature-blessed Province natural resourvcs we have at present or some day we'll wake up and find that we have sold our birthright for a mess of pottagc.

Beventeen-yesr-old Danny Lew- iold, junior star with the Memor- ial Cup champion Port Arthur Bruris last year, suffered a badly- cut left instep today. The cut took 16 stitches to close and a small tendon was severed. The brilliant young wingmari. for whom more than $30,000 was repented to have been paid, probably will be out for about a week.

Vic Lynn became another cas- ualty when he pulled a back muscle during P11‘, drill. I-le also will be out a week. The big wing- er took part in yesterday's prac- tice however, and along with Howie Meeker and Ted Kennedy. showed up well.

Laurie Regan. an amateur in- vifcd to stay over from last week, also will be out a week with a fuelled wrist. Injured in Tuss- day's scrimmage, Regan at first was thought to be suffering only a. soreness.

Shifty Lewicki, believed by many to be the brightest star on Leafs’ hockey horizon, feels he needs another year as an amateur after the rugged bumps arid thumps lie has received in train- ing. He is too young for pro play and will have to play junior this coming season.

If he can get his release from Font William he can pick up about $2.000 playing l‘.l the east. How- ever, if the club refuses to grant him the release, he says he must return home and play for less than $1,000.

The seventh and deciding game will be played at Springhill tomorrow.

Caps were leading 3-1 in the fifth inning when beltln‘ Buddy Condy whacked out a sizzling two-run homer and put the game on ice. The margin enabled coach Porky Flinn to send Helpin to left field, and Vern Brophey finished

the game. He allowed but one hit.

Don “Pat" Spence started for Busters, and was reached for

eight hits and all Caps‘ runs be- fore he went to the bench. Lefty Lloyd Legere replaced him and registered s one-hit. no-run per- formance as Springhill attempted a rally.

Fencebusters threatened in the first two innings, when Lawson Fowler doubled. but was stranded when Earle Boss and Wotowicz went out. McLeod scored the lone Springhill counter in the second after pegging a ground-rule dou- ble, reaching third on Barrows single and tearing home on Peter MacDonald's ground out to sec- and.

Fencebustei-s went hitless until the ninth inning. Wotowicz sing- led to centre field with two out. but Hal-pin retired Eh! 51d!-
