Hos-aemen will regret the ill- H80 in hospital of Clarence Schu- Inan and of George Brookins at his home in Kensington. We trust both of them will be restored to health in the near future. We also regret that our friend S. Thane Belyea of Fredericton, N. 3., is still confined to hospital following an operation. but we learn that he is doing well and will soon be out again. Thane has been a great friend of this column through the years, always remembering us with interesting happenings in his vicinity. George D. Young, Cannon Street. Hamilton. writes . .

They are Squire's Princess and Harry Budlong. Both look like classy race prospects and we un- derstand that Mr. Crozier is send- ing them to Charlottetown to have them trained for the colt stakes. He also has a younger one nam- ed Darnley which he thinks is the daddy of them all. We trust Mr. Ci-ozier's colLs will be all his many friends wish them to be. A letter from Carl MacKenzie.

The big feature in the baseball bracket will be the exhibition tilt hetwen Charlottetown W Abbies and Sum- mcrslde Curran find Briggs over the Victoria Park on Sunday afterncon at 2:30. The teams are two of this year's entries in the fnrr-team Physical Fitness Island Easeboll League which will commence its regular schedule next Wednesday. This will he the second clash he- tween these teams this season. and the fact that Curran and Briggs took the first game by a 6-5 mar- gin last Sunday at Summerslde. should make tomorrow's contest a natural for an all out, evenly con- tested and intcrestlnx encounter. . . . Leading the golfing hlghliglits will be the first stage of the Mac- Kinnon Cup play of the Charlotte- town Golf Club which will get underway at the Bclvcdere links this afternoon at two olclnck. The match will be 18-hole handicap medal play competition. and a large number of club members are ex- pected to turn out to take part. The Macxlnnon Cup is played in three stages, with the final win- ner being declared on a total point basis. The other two stages will be played at intervals as the seas- on progresses. The other event in golf will he a Club sweepstakes tournament on Monday morning and afternoon over the same course. . - . Although the tennis program will not be an extensive one. it is hoped by Charlottetown Tennis Club officials. that at least one of two courts will be ready for play over the week-end. and that a few of the more ardent players will be getting in their first tennis of the season. . . . According to a report from Mon- treat yesteiday, Brendon Macken and Henri Fmchoii of Montreal. and Lorne Main. Vancouver. have been selected as playing members of Canada's 1960 Davis Cup Team. which opposes Australia in first round American zone competition at Montreal on July 20-22. The announcement, was made yester- day by Laird watt, Chairman of the Canadian Lawn Tennis As- sociation's selection Committee. Watt indicated that a fourth play- er will probably be named later. 0 0 0 Appointment of Gordon Mac- Nell of Montral as non-playing captain of the team was announc- ed recently. All three players nam- ed yesterday were members of Canada's 1949 squad which bow- ed out to Australia by four match- es to one, "It is apparent that. in the opinion of the Selection Com- mittee, the performance of Macken. R,ochon and Main last season, and in the winter months. has established their superiority over other Canadian players in such a manner that the time and ex- pense of team trials can he avoid- ed this year." stated Watt. Rochon and Main are Canada's number one and number two ranking players. 0 O O The above information will be of considerable interest to local tennis enthusiasts here. as both Roman and Watts, the latter in particular, are personal acquaint- ences to many here. Watt. who was a former Canad- ian singles champion, is play- ing member of the Davis Cup bean: and also non-playing capt- ain of that team, has for the past number of years been a frequent visitor to this Province during the summer months and has play- ed over the Charlottetown Tennis Club courts on many occassious as the guest of the Club. Rochon played an exhibition singles match with Watt here two years ago at the request of the Charlottetown Club, and also played with Watt as a doubles team against Don and Gordon Bauld of Halifax on the same program.

He commend- od especially the efforts cl Jim llcgan, his assistant in the Phy- sical Fltness Department. for Prince County. The midget Island ,basebnll championship trophy was lprescntcd by Harry Dickie to Ron ,MacArthur, captain of the team. The two baseball trophies were donated by the P. E. 1. Physical Fitness Department. 1 The Island championship trophy ifor midget hockey. donated by En- lman Drug Co. was presented to Don Darby, captain of the Mari- time champions, by His Worship. Mayor Wedge The Mayor congrat- ulated the boys. and hoped they would keep up the good work of past. years. He commended the work of Brigadier Reid in Island sports circles and commented on the wonderful strides made by youth in sports since the Physical Fitness Department took over a few years ago His Worship stated it was too bad that Sum- merside hadn't, been able as yet to erect a new modern ilmk but he hoped this would come in time. The following midget hockey players were presented with jackets by the Physical Fitness Department; trophies by the Town of summerside; and photos of the championship team by the Kins- mcn.

Dr. Hillard Clark then spoke on behalf of the Summeralde Athletic Association. He congratulated the Maritime champs on their ability and the manager and coach on their proficiency in handling the boys. He said these championship teams were a good advertisement for the Town of summerslde and congratulated the Kinsmen for their successful hip of the clubs. Dr. Clark deplored the fact that the Town had no adequate rink for hockey and skating. stating that the cltlzens' committee had done all in their power to bring about the desired result. but un- fortunately its efforts thus far had ended in failure. He believed with the cooperation of the citi- um and the officials of the Town the matter might still be brought to a successful conclusion. end that the Town would yet rid itself of the stigma of being "The rinkless town of the Marltimee." Donald Darby. on behalf of the boys assemlbled, thanked the Kins- men for what had been done for them. and especially their men- ager and coach, Jimmie Harris and Jimmie Hogan. for their untiring efforts on the boys” behalf.

JUNE 3, 1950 One thing may be said with oer- tainty regarding the black duck hatch in the province this sprint! . . . it's late. seldom has May Zfth passed without a few broods being reported observed by flslwrmen who are out in force on the bolt- dng. May 19th is the earliest this columnist has spotted B. brood cl blacks and those particular duck- lings were about a week old at the time. I have covered a lot of good duck breeding grounds Y-113-5 past week or ten days without spotting a brood or seeing a mother duck who gave any indication that she had a family in the vicinity. . . . Messrs Webster and Mosher, D0- minion Wildlife officers who have been working in the province for the past several weeks. state to date they have found one brood only. This held eight young which were several days old. There ap- pears to be an average number of paired black ducks present this spring and up to the present those officials are not particularly dis- turbed as to the outcome of this season's hatch albeit it will defin- itely be late. They are, however. expressing considerable concern over the large flocks of black ducks. some of them totalling fifty or more birds. that they have en- countered in several. widely sep- arated districts. . . . It is evident that those hlrds have no intentlon of undertaking fam- ily duties this season but are coll- tent to loaf on the marshes rvr sandbars anywhere where food is abundant in the vicinity. This oc- currence is not peculiar to this province but a similar situation exists in the sister provinces of N S. and N. B. Black duck drakes generally sit on location, using H. fieldman's term. until their mates are well on with their incubation duties or have taken their broods to some marsh, mill pond, etc. After this occurs they assume no responsibility with regard to this rearing of their offspring but gri- ther in small bachelor groups in some secluded backwater and live the life of Riley wltnout- a care in the world. 0 O C This summer, along with their other duties, wildlife Fleldmen are undertaking an intensive study of those flocks otf apparent drones when the call comes from duck hunters for ducks. ducks and more ducks. They will endeavor to as- certain the ratio of males and fe- males and whether or not. they have become barren from age or some other cause such as old gun- shots wounds, organic trouble. etc. An attempt will be made to live trap is number of those birds for examination purposes. 1 O O For a couple of days this week I teamed up with Ralph Masher, Wolf- ville, N. S. and went 'natlve' in the eastern section of Kings County. Ralph has been working with Harry Webster. Truro. 14.5. for several weeks but Mr. Webster had to re- turn to the mainland to attend to business pertaining to his work and Ralph and I made I tempor- ary team. Incidentally Mr. Masher is a university graduate and up to the present has not fully decided whether or not to practice law in Nova Scotia or became a full fledged omlthologist. D O O I discovered that those fieldmen have no set working hours. They're up with the birds and go to bed with the birds. There is a reason for this. They have at least three important projects underway at the same time. A waterfowl study and survey re: number and species of breeding ducks present, local hatch and location of nests. The crew investigation is a sort of double bsrrelled affair. one phase has to do with the a-ow'a food habits and its relationship as it effects the sportsmen and farmers. The other calls for a 'crow banding program to ascertain their migration routes and how for south some of them go in winter. This entails the loc- ating of nest and the banding of she young before they are able to y. 0 I I Crows are also shot and their stomachs removed and very neatly Wfwped in gauze and tape end 0110!!

Atomic Age Golf Ball Talks Back By Frlta Howell AKRON, 0.. June 2-(AP)-The golf ball reached the atomic age today-and started talking back. No more, it seems. will the lost golf ball-bane of all duffers--be able to hide away under tall grass. stray leaves or other bits of rough. The B. 1". Goodrich Research Centre at Breckvllle, 0.. unven. ed the atomic. talking. non-losabla golf ball today at Akron's Portage Country Club. one-fiftieth of I gram of rldjo. active material under the rubber cover of the ball, plus a miniature geiger counter, provided the nng. war to the duffer's prayer. Deep in the woods and rough. the gelger counters were brought into play. Wwhen a counter, approached the hidden ball. a short. erratic sound arose in the ear phones. As the counter grew closer. the sounds reached a crescendo, and there, under a leaf was the lost ball. Dr. William L. Davidson, direct- or of physical research of the Goodrich centre, perfected the new ball. The gelger counter must be within three or four feet of the lost boll before it begins to reg- later. "we Just can't increase the amount of radioactive material in the ball. because of the danger of radiation to the golfer. We found the; most golfers carry about a dozen balls, and if we increased the amount of material in each ball, to make them easier to find, the golfer might feel some ill ef- fects. But the small amount now used cannot bother anyone," said Dr. Davidson. location of the lost. ball is indic- ated,by the gelger counter in two ways-by the flashing of a light or by signals through a head phone. Dr, Davidson said the project is experimental and that no sale of radioactive golf balls is contem. platad at present. crop Progress Reported As ”llmonalily Good" Iixhibition Baseball Game Is Scheduled For Memorial Field l sport Echoes From Prince county .

O O O Coke Grady, the midget flinger, was on the mound again Wednes- day and did some pretty smart pitching for his age. Again one of his mates in the infield made an error which hurt his chances of being able to stiok in there. The same thing happened on Sunday.
