The 61-foot span crosses the track to rest on runways and is equip» pcd with eight starting gates. When the horses line up behind it at the three-eighths pole the en- tire span moves down the track at a speed of 30 miles an hour. Prior to reaching the stunting line the [ates behind which the horses are trotting or pacing open and raise into the air, giving every horse an equal chance.

Clubs TORONTO, Oct. 14 (CP)—— Conny Smythe thinks his Toronto hliiplc Leafs are a solid playoff cliih hut he isn't saying how they'll make out in the National Hockey League's ‘IO-game schedule. At :1 press conference today on the cve of the Lrnfs’ first. home game tomorrow night against Chl- cago Black Hawks, the Toronto club's boss picked Montreal Cuna- diens as the team most likely to comewchnrglng down in front during the scheduled season, lengthened by 10 games this year. He liked Canadleris because they have more players of nil-star calibre than the other clubs. He had these observations on the prospects of the other clubs. 1. The chances of Chicago Black Hawks depend largely on how much coach Charlie Conacher has learned. They _ could finish high up, or they might wind up last. 2. Detroit Red Wings will miss the quietly effective play rif defcneemrin Bill Quacken- bush, traded to Boston Bruins last summer, ' 3. If inst year's rookies do l well in their sophomore year, ' New York Rangers will be a lot better especially with Chuck Rayner, "one of hoc- key's nil-lime greats" in goal. 4. Boston Bruins form the League's unknown quantity. I saw them a lot last year and 1 don't know what held them up there in second place. As to the Leafs, unless they produce what Smythe called hoc- key‘s "home-run hitters." the team might find the going tough during the schedule. "We haven't got stars on our c1ub," he said. “We've got to work the players as units." Sport Snapshots By Trevor locbon Canadian Press Staff Writer TORONTO.

Baseball Title To Be Decided At S’side This Week-end The Curran d; Briggs baseball team arrives at the end oi the Maritime play-off trail tomorrow when they play the Chatham Iron- men in the second and if neces- sary, the third game in the best- of-three series for the Maritime intermediate title, The C. 6a B. boys have already one victory tucked away, having edged the Chatham boys 10 to 9 in Chatham. but, although they were short six players on that oc- casion, and all six are expected to be available for play on Sund , the local biill-tosers are nevert. l- less taking nothing for granted, and are preparq for a real battle when they face the Ironmen on their own diamond tomorrow. A ball team that can powder that old pill as the Chatham slugger: can, is bound to inspire respect 1n their opponents, and the game 01' games in Summerside may be as hard and bitterly fought as was the initial contest in Chat- ham. ‘ In Willie Jardine the Ironmen have as smart a ball-player as there is in intermediate ranks to- day. The veteran shortstop fields brilliantly and is a big bad wolf at the plate; the type OT nami- that can break up a. ball game with one blast. Chiitham fans de- clare that he has done that many times. Cabel on first is also a trap- py fielder. Converting bad throws into outs is Just routine work for him. Young Ramsay and Martin are also particularly dangerous with the hickory. The Curran d: Briggs boys, how- ever, are not exactly stumble-bums in the field or first cousins to the pitcher at the plate, so fans can look for a brilliant display of baseball as those two provincial champions decide Maritime sup- remacy for the year 1949. This game is a “must" for every base- ball fan within travelling distance of the Curran d: Briggs diamond. _ s Dodgers Unload Two Ouifaieiders , (By The Associated Press) BROOKLYN, Oct. l4-—Continu- ing to unload their second-rate performers at the rate of two a day, Brooklyn Dodgers today an- nounced the sale of Marvin Rack- ley to Cincinnati Reds and Dick Whitman to Philadelphia Phils. Both are outfleiders. "No other players were involv- ed." a Dodger ofiiclal said in mak- ing the announcement. "We re- ceived ln undisclosed cash consid- oration." 1t was believed the Dodgers collected $50,000 for the 28-year- old Rackley and $25,000 for Whit- man. who reaches his 29th birth- day next month. The Brooks were reported to have received $100,000 from Chicago Cubs yesterday for pitcher Paul Minner and first baseman Preston Ward. Rackley played with Montreal Royals in 1940 and had a .306 average with the international League team that year. After playing in St. Paul and moving up to Brooklyn, he was optioned to the Royals in May, 1948. and rc- called to Brooklyn early in June. He hit .324 in 20 games for the Royals that time. Whitman played part of two seasons with the Royals. He moved to Montreal in 1947 and hit a sound .327 in 141 games. In 40 games with the Royals next Sell- on he was batting at .272 when the Dodgers recalled him. Neither Rackley nor Whitman played a large part in the Dodg- ers‘ climb to the 1949 pennant. Rackley batted .303 but appeared in only 74 games. many as a pinch hitter. Whitman law even less service than Rsckley. Playing in only 23 games. he wound up with a .184 batting mark.

This Saturday morning October 15th two additional species of up- land game birds, Ruiled Grouse (Native Partridge) and Ringneck- ed Pheasants will become legal game in this Province and the season on them will continue until October 31st. The daily bag limit on Rufled Grouse ls three (3) per day. The bag limit on pheasants is five (5) cock birds per season. Hen pheasants are protected. 1f one has the opportunity and so wishes, the season's limit of five may be taken in one day. I don't think that anyone need worry over hav- ing their pheasant hunting season end in such short order. Many gunners of my acquaint- ance would settle for one and feel satisfied. The longer hunting seas- on should give everyone a chance to find out what a Cock pheasant tastes like. They're white meated birds like the Ruffed Grouse and the cutting is much deeper. I have talked to some who have been lucky in bagging a pheasant and they have expressed complete at- isfaction with the tastiness and flavour of the meat when dished up on a platter. I have met others who were disappointed in the ex- treme, insisting that the meat was dry, stringy and tasteless. Both could have been right. A young Cock would be as tender as chicken albeit with a somewhat gamler flavour. Many prefer the tangier flavour of game birds over the domestic variety. 1f one hap- pens to bag an old timer with spurs an inch and a half long be prepared for platter trouble unless the bird is steamed for a time be- fore being browned in the ' oven. Many a housewife who wouldn't think of trying to roast an old rooster would place an old cock pheasant in the roasting pan and expect the result to equal young chicken. Pheasants are quite plentiful this season. This columnist has contacted numerous coveys since the Hun season opened. A few evenings ago 1 checked two visit- ing U. S. sportsmen. Both were here last season and commented on the tremendous increase in the number of pheasants. Last year they spotted approximately a pheasant per day during their hunting sojourn in the province. This season they state it is nothing unusual to flush five or six in a single dly'l hunting. ' Incidentally t h o s e gentlemen passed on information that lends me to believe that we have a few coveys of Sharptniled Grouse (so called Prairie Chicken) present 1n the province. They stated that they were familiar with Sharptails. having-hunted them in the west- ern States. There were seven or eight in the flock and were de- scribed as being as large as hens but lighter in colour than our Rutfed Grouse and made l cluck- ing noise as they took wing. They flew into l small patch of woods and one of them alighted on l tree. That's welcome news but be- fore definitely stating that we have Sharptails with us I want to see them first. One has to be a sort of doubting Thomas in this game business. A few weeks ago I received l report that leads me to believe we have n covey of this lame species of upland game bird in southern Kings County. The flrst mention- ed flock were spotted in Queens.
