uowii nus . BACK STRETCH

Tomorrow will be Summerside: gala day. For over sixty years races have been held over the track there and all through the years it has been a rallying point for the lover of the harness horse. The most famous of old time con- tests was the Hernando-Black Pilot race back in the 1880's. that drew the largest crowd ever seen in the history of the western cap- ital. Special boats were running from the mainland and special trains from all parts of the Is- land. Today with almost everyone possessing his transportation a journey to Summerside is an easy affair and given good weather Harold Gaudet, the proprietor. and his race manager Clifford MacDon- ald, can expect an attendance of at least 3.000. The entry list is a splendid one with the best horses in the Province ready to take the word. '

Johnny Conroy was lead- ing driver for the night with three firsts and one second.

The second night racing program at Charlottetown last Saturday was a hummer. every race well contested and very close finishes. The fifth and ninth dashes were so good that photos were called for, even for third and fourth I-iorses. In the fifth dash Mary Merk 2.03 IU5 hit the turn in last place but paced around the field to win by I head from Josedale Clipper. In the ninth dash Mary could not get to the Clipper, which won by a length in the same time -2.13. All the other horses were; bunched closely and it was cer- tainly an exciting sight to see them, coming through the stretch to thei

Last Saturday night the Cape Breton Turf Club featured seven dashes that produced a lot of thrills. particularly in the Free For All where Scott Spencer and Vella La Vella had a hot battle in each heat. Scott Spencer won the first in 2.12 2x5 with Vella second: Vella won the second heat in 2.10 -the fastest mile stepped in Nova Scotia this season. The three-year- old trotfer Cobblestone, purchased at the Harrisburg sale last fall for 53.500, showed that he was worth the money by winning the first and fifth dashes from a good held of pacers in 2.20. 2.19 M5. He is by Follow Up and made one start last year but did not land in the winning column. He was driven by Worrell Lewis. Little Johnny Clegg. that was a frequent winner last year. kept up that reputation by winning dashes two and six from Bob Long. Re'illey's First and five other good pacers. best time 2.17. The final dash was won by Johnny Early in 228 M5,

The many horsemen .fr.iends, of Clarence Schuman, well known race driver and the man who fit- ted Vella La Vella so capably for her winning career last season. will be glad to learn that he is now out of hospital and recuper- ating at his home in Kensington. Clarence's sage advice will no doubt be available in the train- ing and conditioning of a number race horses in his vicinity.

Continuing from yesterday's col- umn, here is another baseball prob- lem for the books. as outlined by Bill Evans. general manager of Detroit Baseball Cltib. in his pub- iication "Knotty Problems of Base- ball". ”There were runners on second and third. The squeeze play was on. but the batsman missed the ball. The runner coming in from third. seeing he would be an easy out if he continued on to the plate. turned and rctraccd his steps to third. He was caught in a run- up but eventually got back to third in safety.

"Arriving there. he found the runner from sccond base also oc- cupying third base. Hence there were two runners on the same base-third. The third baseman. getting the ball and determined to make sure, touched both runners.

The subject of leased ponds and fishing streams is a live one at the presentlime. Just recently an irate fisherman remarked to me; "There'll soon be no public fisliin-g left... there should be a law pass- ed to prevent land owners from leasing fishing rights on their mill ponds and streams". I really be- lieve there are some who would go to this extreme to insure fish- ing for themselves if they had the power.

No land owner need fear such a drastic step. English law decrees that a man's house is his castle and what a man does with his own property is his own business. I'll admit that tleasingl of hshlng and hunting rights is becoming a com- mon practice particularly during the past two years. Naturally there

"When two runners were on the same bag and there was no force, as was the case in this play, the bag belonged to the original occupant who was caught in a run-up-but got back to third safely.

The original occupant. still entit- led to the bag. pulled a boner' when he stepped off the base. be- lieving he had been forced off the bag and thinking he had been re- tired.

is a reason for this. In some in- stances the fishermen themselves are to blame. in several instances where mill ponds have been leas- ed the owners were practically forced to take such steps to insure privacy.

Last year the United Services Club leased Johnstonls Pond (for- merly Thompson's) at Suffolk. Two years ago ltalked to the owner. He told me it had gotten to the point where he had to do some- thing. During week days car own- ers would park their cars in the mill yard, lock them securely and then launch of? for their favourite fishing hole. Customers would come for their lumber that had been sawed or to leave a load of logs to be made into boards, and would find a car in the way that it was impossible to move.

To quofe his words in part: "We didn't feel safe in leaving home on a holiday" or on Sunday. Some- times a dozen cars would be park- ed on the mill property and people would be eating their lunch and smoking around the lumber and sawdust pile. On one occasion while we were away to church someone started up the saw and threw it of! alignment. If someone wasn't right on deck to collect the boat fee there was always some- one who would conveniently for- get lo pay up."

In short that's the story behind the Johnston's Pond leasing. An- other thing that annoyed the mill owner to no end was the fact that he frequently had to appoint him- self as a one man sanitary detail to clean up the mess. particularly if he spotted a car with a number of feminine anglers in it. This is not an isolated case. A mill owner in the Grandvicw district told me I couple of years ago that he hated to even think about leasing his mill pond as he liked to see people enjoy themselves. He lives some distance from his mill and informed me that on more than one occasion a party of fishermen had taken lumber from I pile left to be sawed. nailed them to- gether with slabs, and made a fish- ing raft. Naturally it wasn't safe to use this lumber for fear a hid- don nail or spike would damage the saw. He further commented: "11 one took the trouble to listen it wasn't hard to hear the firewood slabs being thrown into the back of a car."
