Our friend Billy Connick of Woburn. Mass, was among those who attended the Hambietonian. raced at Goshen, N. Y., August 1i, and. saw the great Demon Han- over win the largest trotting stake of the year from a bunch of the world's beat three-year-olds. Billy enthused over it, particularly as Demon Hanover was driven by an amateur owner, who was the first amateur to win the Hambletonlan in its long history. Billy says".- “l-‘fe swept aside his ten oppon- ents with ease, shooting out in front at the first turn in both heats and led all the way around the course to pick up the $32-$00. the winner's share oi the almost $00,000 purse. He stepped the first heat in 2.08 l-l and was never extended, and a half hour later romped home in 2.02 flat, leading his nearest opponent, Rollo, under the wire by two lengths. Young Harrison Hoyt, owner and driver said, ‘I never laid whip on him all the way. I bel ve before the season is over he will beat two minutes at Lexington'.". ..Thsnks. Billy, for your program of this great race and your interesting description.

STERS.

Federal authorities 1n both ot- tama and Washington are re- questing a strict enforcement of the Migratory Birds Convention Act this coming season and en- forcement officers have been in- structed accordingly,

Game officials in both Canada and the United States have at last awakened to the need oi greater protection for many spe- cles of migratory birds and ac,- cordlngly are tightening up on restrictions regarding the hunting of same. As mentioned in an ear- lier column the duck situation is causing concern. Here in Prince Edward Island only a few flocks of black ducks have been observ- ed on the move. This is naturally a good sign. Ducks seldom move in _heavy flights before Septem- ber 1st unless disturbed by shoot- ing. Once the cool, breezy even- ings of September set in, the ducks appear to get the urge to move out and do some exploring. In the evenings, thousands of ducks. black, blue and green wing W11. Pin iail, ring neck ducks, etc. may be seen flocking into the rice beds at Plsquld Pond.

" O O O

Todate there has been"only a slight movement on the_ part. of the ducks and this may have caused some observer to predict that the outlook for dunk shooting this fall is not too bright. ‘There a" many flocks of blacks and teal hidden in out-of-the-way swamps and pot holes that will make a slzeable flight once they bestir themselves.

Kinsmen Win Junior Game By 6-3 Score

Ev McNeiYs second place junior baseball squad last night downed the Knights of Columbus entry in the local junior loop by a score of 6-3 and made certain of their second place in the league stand- ings.

The game, last on the schedule, was loosely played before a. fair sized crowd of fans on the Mem- orlal Field diamond.

The winners scored a brace of runs ~ln the opening inning, added two more in the second frame and then tallied single markers in the fourth and fifth innings. The Knights scored their runs in the second and third innings. with two coming in the second frame and their nnal, counter in the third. Ii

Garth Crockett, pitching his sec- ‘ up.

ond game in as many nights, al- lowed the losers three hits as he made thc final appearance of the Kinsmen in the regular schedule a winning one. He struck out four and walked four in pitching the Kinsmen to a spectacular win. He was opposed by Ev Beagan who in making his second start in the league, pitched s. four-hit bell game. But he was also as wild aa a March wind as he walked seven. players while striking out seven batters. "

The winners had three .enor| chalked up against them while the Knights had none marked against them. All the losers’ runs were of the unearned variety while Kinsmen runs were all earned.

Longest wallop of the game was hit by Bill MacNeii of the losers as he connected for a double. Jack Cairns of the winners also hit a double. .

Fielding plays of noic were turned in by three outflelders. Brian Lewis and Jack Williams of the winners and Jack Nichol- son of the losers. as all three of them made spectacular catches in the outer gardens. Lewis (this is‘ nothing new to me) robbed Nich- olson of an extra base blow as he raced into right centre to make a beautiful catch. Nicholson turned the tables on Lewis in the next inning as he made 5 long running catch of Lewis‘ Texas Leaguer in the third. Williams raced with his back to the infield and then turned around to rob Maurice Flynn of another extra base hit.

Baseball fans should witness quite a spectacle this afternoon when Charlie Ryan's Recce squad leaders in the junior league tangle with a team from the U. B. S. Fresno now in port in an exhib.- tion encounter that will be play- ed at the Park diamond.

O O O O

The United States tars are said to be a smart band of bail tossers and should provide the Recce team with the toughest opposition they have encountered so far tilts year. In fact. they may be a bl? too tough for the Ryan-coached ciew b t nevertheless the local junior coders will be in there fighting all the way. The resul‘ should be one of the best ball games of the entire season.
