You will notice that several of the farms are put- ling in young sires and are also clearing out some of their older brood mares. After all, new blood has to be brought in continually to keep a stock farm going. All the farms seem to be after young sues and mares. It is a game of the sur- vival of the fittest, with a lot of new men becoming interested in the breeding of trotters and pacers trying to produce something that will make them a fortune, such as Imperial Hanover at $72,000.

By RALPH BERNSTEIN

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2 —-(AP) -0fficiais of both Philadelphia major league baseball clubs said today that television is the great- est thing to happen to baseball since radio.

Both Bob Carpenter. president of the Phillies, and Connie Mack, Jr., Athletics‘ board director, an- nounced their clubs would tele- vise "as many games as the local station can handle" and would broadcast home and away games.

Broadcasting or road games is new in Philadelphia. Only the Shibe Park contests of the A's and Phils have been sired previously.

Canpcnter and Connie, Jr., agree that the new policy will create “cut-throat" competition but each expressed confidence that his ball club is capable of draw- ing and holding fan interest.

The two baseball executives admitted television “hurt a little" last season but explained that screening of the action had in- doctrinated new fans who other- wise might never have been reached.

Said young Connie:

"Just as radio scared everybody and kcipt people away_ from the

park in its embryonic stage. so will television for awhile. But this year or possibly next year

will find a levelling off.

Consider Television Will Boost Baseball

Double Hoop Bill Tonight

The Sumrnerside Scliurman’; and R.C.A.F, hoop squads will get their first taste of scheduled competi- tion tonight when they meet two basketball squads from the City in an Island Physical Fitness Bas- ketball League double fixture ut the Prince of Wales College aud- itorium.

The games will mark the second twin-bill in league play since the opening of the schedule on Wed- nesday, and will see Sehurmans meet Saint Dunstanﬂs University in the first game at seven o'clock, to be~foilowed immediately after by the second clash between Ray's Millionaires and R.C.A.F_

S. D. U. und Army are tied for first place in, the six-team league standing at present, by virtue nf their wins over Ray's and P. W. C. respectively in the opening league games on Wednesday.

Both encounters are expected to come up with fast, close competi- tion, us was the case in the open- ing clashes, and many local hoop fans are expected to be on hand to see how the two western entries will stack up against the loco) hoopmen, whom they have c,- ready seen in action.

“The fans will find new inter- cst in the game and attendance eventually will increase. I think television is tihe greatest thing that has happened to baseball since radio."

Carpenter said television hurt most when weather conditions were poor. He added:

"Naturally when we have bad weather -- either too cold or too hot — a lot of people are going to stay home and turn the dial. - _

“But all things being equal i-herr is no substitute for the real thing. Television eventually will help basoball."

Millionaires m Edge Yics_5-4

Long years ago when I lived in the country and tried my hand at farming, l always made it a prac- tlce, after the first good tracking snow, to take a stroll across the countryside and over the old trap line to find out first hand what was on the move in the line of fur and to ascertain how many miffed grouse had survived the open season.

O

The snow is nature's blackboard. In those days I was particularly interested in fox signs. Red foxes kept in a pretty steady price brack- et in the days when 1 sojourned in the country and o prime pelt was a prize worth taking. They reached an all high during the 2nd Great War. Top skins fetched as high as twenty dollars and over on the local market and the gen- eral average price ranged roughly from sixteen to eighteen dollars. Today I'm doubtful lf the best red will bring five dollars with the average running from two to three. There is a. possibility that this fur season will see an up- ward trend in the demand for fox pelts.

I never got over the habit and even after moving to tho city I have made it s. point, if the op- portunity offered, to get on the prowl in the Great Outdoors at- ter the first snowfall and take u. personal census 0n the general wildlife picture. My motive is somewhat different from what it. was in my younger days. When one sees the tracks of pheasants in some remote swamp or the skeln-like trail left by a large covey of feeding Huns, even if the birds themselves are not spotted, one knows that they're somewhere in the vicinity. Its also good to know how the ‘bunnies’ are holding up.

Thus it was on an afternoon this month when the air was crisp and frosty, although the sun shone brightly, and the ground and trees were covered with dry, powdery snow, I parked the car in a back field and took a stroll over the old stamping ground. As I opened

the old red gate at the entrance to the road through the hard- woods, old memories came flood- ing book. The present gate is not red; it's built of plain weather- beaten rough boards, but 40 odd years ago one of its predecessors was painted a bright red. We youngsters who grew up on the old homestead, and we were leg- ion, always referred to the hard- woods as "back by the red gate". . . .

The first track I saw as I en- tered the hardwoods was that of a. fox. Its dainty footprint indic- ated it was a. vixen of the year; She was moving in a straight line and evidently was not on a hunt- ing expedition. but interested in reaching an old pasture some few hundred yards to the eastward. Timmy. my German short haired pup, was very interested in this track and the enticing scent that emanated therefrom. The track was ‘smoking fresh‘ to us; an old fox hunter's e ession. The dainty pads had punc ed through the Powdery snow to the carpet of moist leaves beneath. It was freez- lng quite hard but the water that had seeped into the depressions had not yet skimmed over with‘ a film out ice. l I I

The pup followed the trail, ltlck- ing his nose into each footprint and then blowing the snow out. of his nostrils. Every so often he'd look back at me and try to coax me to follow. His look implied: This is the moat interesting thing I've found yet and what's the mat- ter with you?" I didn't want to llmeur too interested. The Short Hbirs are keen hunters and with very little encouragement will hunt. rabbits and foxes like old veteran fox and mbbit hounds.

They have one disadvantage in this respect - they're silent trailers, and one is not always

certain just where they are or

what they are doing. I U I

From then on it was g mugg- ion of fox tracks. In all my ox- Derience I never new the like. In l”! ﬁlm 300 yards I new where at least three different foxes had crossed and w roused. A mgdfum sized track I took to b0 c young male, and then there was the old sockdolager’ with o footprint as W!!! la B Collie dog that crossed south of the old swale. Ha was nloddlnz throuzh on u straight line westward 1nd I didn't see his track any more that afternoon. His "w" kinda muddled out a u: Ind I pictured him ab; m, 01¢ coaster, greying slightly at the muzzle and wise a; they 00mg, 1g he sticks to this country he'll be quite safe.
