Larry MacPhail, Capt. Daniel R. Topping e1 Webb and oi Phoenix, Ar1z., ior an estimated , price of $3,800,000. Real estate including the Yankee stadium and Ruppert stadiums at Newark and Kansas City were included in the deal as well as their respective hises and those of Binghampton, N. Y., in cidihs league tltiists is now very-the Eastern League and Norfolk, much evident to the good crowd oi fans that saw Thursday night's tussle. They just won't concede defeat no matter what the swre may be and a couple of times this season, including their recent win this spirit, has’ paid ‘oii dividends. To a blfl iilhlority of the fans once the Summer-side tearn had Zone into the lead in the third period, it looked as if the Colle- slans were due to go down to de- feat. As the minutes ticked off 1t illllleflred more evident but the winner's closing drivs was more‘ than the Summersids team could stand. Failing to keep up to the pace the losers tried to slow the kids down with the use oi body checks but it was no go. They would get up oii the ice to go darting into scoring position again and onoe they had regained their early two goal lead it was just a. matter oi holding off the Summersld attacks which they did magnificently. No doubt about Summerside’. offensive was slowed somewhat as they continued to draw needless. ill-timed penalties but it was their own fault. Ii they had stuck strictly to their “kn1tting" they might have put a different com- plexion on the game-something too which is extremely doubtful, Judging by the exhibition the win- ners displayed-but they continued to carry chips on their shoulders and today they must find that this method just dyes. ngt "pay off." But the fans were kept in a con- tinual state of excitement every minute the game was in progress. Action filled hardly describes it. as the play raced up and down the ice with the lead changing hands several times and on the result oi the game and with the Navy sud- denly coming into the picture prac- tically anything can happen from here to the en_d of the schedule. Now, rather than having two Air Force teams big favorites to enter the finals, all four teams have equal chance. Navy has the an itoughest road to travel due to a slow start but if they continue the form they showed against No. 2 ANS. they will make the grade iii preparedness for what now looks like a great stretch battle. . Andspeaking about the Navy, the Tans will ace the Summersid Air Force boys in next Tuesday ht's scheduled encounter and this should produce a rugged, fast brand of the national past-time all the way with Navy needing to chalk up a win and with the Sum- merside team getting their second chance of taking over the league lead. one Both squads like the heavy. rus- ged brand of game and both can hand out body checks galore so ii the pair oi clubs elect this method as their battle plan fans can be certain of witnessing one of the hardest fought encounters of the league schedule. ’ . The two WIHUOCX’! and Jackson Roach has added a lot of confid- ence to the second stringers. with the remainder of the team also iornf . NM! should be plenty tough to take and that is an opinion that is shared '< 1 by not a iew of their followers. u - A single City Basketball League encounter is scheduled for the Y. M.C.A. tomorrow afternoon when the R..C.A.F. All Stars tangle with St. Dunstan's university in a game that should produce a close knit game all the you throillll- Despite the fact that the Saints have yet to chalk up a victory nevertheless they have been div- ing the other squads comprising the league stiff battles of it all the way and All Stars who by a viotofl’ (‘-511 create a tie for first place 1n the standings with the Air Force Com- bines, are likely to have their hands full against the EJniI/erslty team. There is a full schedule of games in the National Hockey League this week-end with all six tcam-s par- taking in Saturday and Sunday night; games agaainst identical teams. As far as t. e leaBue stand- ing is c it shouldn't effect it l; great deal with the two lead- ers Canadians and Detroit expect- ed to whip Boston and Cuicasd W111]: the Leafs should have on edge over the Hangers in their dou- ble data with the Gotham City crew.

As far as is known at prcsont only two of this famous breed are DWIlCG in the province, both located in Charlottetown. W. Harry Tlrl- marsll, President oi the P. E. l. Fish and Game Protection Associ- ation is the proud owner of Sally of Birchwood, while F. A. Stea- art Jones is the possessor of Jac- que of Abegwcit. As the name implies, the Brit- tany’ Spaniel was first evolved and bred to s. high state oi eiiici- ency in the province oi France that bears its name. This breed oi hunting dog is keen, intelligent and a persistent worker. It is also reputed to be one of the easiest type of hunting dog to be train- ed. The Brittany ls a natural pointer and has been known to point and hold birds at 4 months oi age. This dog has also a nat- ural tendency to work close and is particularly satisfactory on Snipe and Grouse, species of game birds that frequent heavy cover The Brittany has also proven its worth on Pheasants and Hungar- ian partridge. Last October the Stewart Jones dog, when only months oi age, nosed out a large covey of Huns and when the birds rose with a thunder of wings the pup got such a scare he high tail- ed it back to his master at top speed. To date this breed oi hunt- ing dog is an untried quality on the Island. but. if he is even half as good as his reputation, he is some dog. Be that as it may stiff com- petition awaits in the class oi Sot- ters owned and bred by local sportsmen. PRAIRIE CHICKEN Two years ago this coming spring iive pairs of Prairie Chic- ken, or Square tails as they are sometimes called. We" imported from Western Canada and releas- ed at West River. It has been es- tablished by game observers that at least two coveys were raised from this planting and spent at least part oi the winter at China Early this spring three pairs of game birds, with a des- cri tion that fitted Ch cken, were reported by sewers. One pair at Little Sands: a second pair at Pisquid and the third at Earnscliffc. The birds appeared to drop out oi the picture until late last fall when a single pair oi strange birds, that could have been Prairl Chicken, were seen on the farm of Doctor J. T. Lantz at Keppoch. Tllr. only really definite information that any of this species was pros- ent in the province came from Bediord. Toward the latter part of October an employee oi tile Municipal Paving Company at Bedford, who has been in the west and knows Prairie Chicken, re- ported seeing a pair in the dis- trict. The failure of Coveys to make their appearance this past fall has caused sportsmen to take a gloomy view of the situation. and it is felt that the attempt to stock the province with this valu- able western gnme bird, will, in all probability, be written off as a failure. The experiment was sug- gested by__theVP_._yE_Z. luGame As- cidents oi Canadian action in "the miud. mule and mountain country" bearing out Major Nicholson's statement that a man couldn't hclp but be proud of the Canadian fighting man. "It is not something you can talk about." said Powell. “It is sometifng you must experience." During the meeting a moment's silence was held for the late Ralph Cairns who had notably coillrib- uted to previous campafmws Other speakers included Hal Burke; George Wood; Gordon Avnrd; PJV.
