Last. Saturday night's racing at the Charlottetown oval was one of the really good programs stag- ed there since night racing came in. From three to five o'clock in the afternoon the heavens opened and a tremendous downpour drenched the track so completely that many thought it would be impossible to race even though the weather turned fine and warm around six o'clock. Good work by the track committee made it possible to race but the footing was heavy and the time slow. Lady Abner, a daughter of the up and coming sire Abner T. Ciegg. 2.01 1-2. nicely driven by Emmett Bernard. acquired a record of 2.24. Pleasing to Walter Kelly's many friends was the good manners and speed displayed by Johnny Kal- muck. which Walter won the first heat with. in 2:17 2-5. The daugh- ter of Guy Day. Miss Eloise, own- ed by John A. Forbes. Frederic- ton. N. B.. and driven by 1-2. Mc- Alduff. was a winner in the fourth and eighth dashes. showing speed of a hzgh order in the last quar- ter Despite the heavy going she i:nished in 2.15 2-5 and looks as though she may make 2:10 this season. Last year she was raced through quite a number of meet- ings in Maine and took a record of 2:15 2-5 as a four-year-old. Her stable companion. Yankee Girl- one of the smoothest little pacers seen here in years-was second in the fifth dash to Babe Britton. losing out by a small margin. In her next heat an unfortunate ac- cident occurred when part of the harness broke and she got tangled up. suffering considerable injury. Luckily she is around and about again apparently very little ihe worse of the mishap. In the sixth and tenth dashes which brought out the fastest performers. Filbert, 2:09 1-2. purchased by Wall Hen- nessey last fall from P. J. Cade- gan. Glace Bay. was ii winner and showed a lot of lick and manners and it won't be surprising if she beats 2:10 this year.

Saturday night's races at Truro had more favorable weather and the result was that several horses took new records. In the second dash Joey Harvester 2:18 3-4. by Simcoe Harvester. owned by Lahey and McNeili and driven by Johnny Conroy. won over a good field in 2:13 3-5.. Joey was very strong on speed last year. pacing quarters In 30 seconds but was hesitant about getting away. This year trainer Conroy has overcome that fault and we predict. a record of 2:10 for him later. In the third dash the daughter of Calumet Duds 2:09 1-2-Calumet Pearl - owned by Mr. Johnston of Halifax and driven by Chops Campbell. won in 2:17--which is a new re- cord for her. Calumet Duds is by Peter the Brewer and out of the "same dam" as ”Abbe Worthy 2:05. There are several of his get around the Maritimes that show speed. probably given opportunity he could have been a very good sire.

Pleasing to us is the fact that Buster C.. brought here a couple of years ago and raced on the pace and then tried out on the trot. has taken a new record at the latter gait. This was in the

Provincial

fifth dash when he won from such star pacer: as his Henley 2:09, Wlikin Zzm. Seven-Up Direct 2:11 and Single Streak. Angie Allen at the controls marked him in 2:12. Another daughter 01 Abner T. C1988. Alice T. Ciegg. was the winner of the sixth dBSh- She is owned by B. Taylor. Ayls- worth. and was driven by R. Mac- Donald. The time. 2:22. is not very impressive but we understand she has a nice way of gains and looks as though she Will hell” that considerably in the near fu- ture. Pleasing also to many friends of Dr. J. A. Donahoe was I victory for Dudy Budlonz 2111- I" the seventh dash. which he won in 2:13 1-5 for driver Ray O'Brien. In doing so he headed such redoubt- able paccrs as Ohio Hal 2:12 3-5. owned by P. J. Cadezan. D0010? L. B. 2:12 3-4. Starlight Eclipse and others. Buster C. for good measure won the last dash of the evening in 2:13 from the same field. ,

Dr. F. C. Dougan was present at the Truro nigh: races Wednesday and enjoyed them very much. He was particularly impressed by the performance of Quakers Boy. that won during the eveninf; ill 7511 1-5. In this event Luther Hanover. a horse with terrific speed. wont to the first quarter in 30 second! and to the half in 1:05.

entries will pound it out over a mile route in a total of nine dash events. ti: is expected to be a fitt- ing -climax to the first two-night racing program under lights to be held this season in the way of ex- citing racing entertainment. . . .

The baseball program will get underway at Sumrnerside this af- ternoon when the Knights of Columbus squad, of the City Junior Baseball League will play a return exhibition game with the Curran and Briggs juniors in a return ex- hibition tilt. The game should be a natural for smart action. the two techs having played to a 2-2 dead- lock over Memorial Field in their first meeting last Monday.

The mixed four- somes schedul d for that date have been postponed to make way for the Mackinnon Cup play. The competitions will be is-hole. handi- cap. medal play. with the winner being declared on a total point basis over three separate stages.

what happens when an umpire calls a bad pitch a ball-too soon, and what. is the decision when the man at bat makes a safe hit off the same pitch? This is Just an- other of the many problems out- lined by Billy Evans in his book "Knotty Problems of Baseball" Here are the complete details on the play and the answer. But see if you potential "Umps" can get. it before looking over the latter.

"There was a. runner I on first base and two out. In delivering the next. ball to the batter. with a count of two balls and two strikes. the pitcher threw it very wild of the plate. The ball struck the ground a couple of yards in front. of home plate. As it did so. the umpire immediately called it a ball. presumably making the count three and two. The bats-man had made up his mind to hit. the pitch and was in motion with his swing when the ball struck the ground.

"He could not hold back. After striking the ground, the ball bounded directly over the plate. knee high The batter'a timing was perfect. He connected squarely for extra bases. the ball bouncing off the left field fence for a double The runner originally on first tried to score on the hit and was thrown out at the plate on a very close play.

"The umpire was wrong in call- ing the pitch a. ball when it struck the ground a couple of yards in front. of the plate. He was at fault it calling the pitch too quickly. He should have waited for the com- pletion of the pitch. which would have been when the ball passed the batsman. The batter had vi perfect right to swing at the bed pitch if he so desired. When he hit. safely. it became a legal hit. The runner on first had a right to advance at his own risk. when he was thrown out It. the plate. it mdodo the third out. ntirlng the of e."

Both games will be seven inn- ing encounters. and although the starting lineups were not released yesterday. it is expected that both squads will have to utilize most. of the mound staffs to carry them througif the twin program.

Would Resiricf Sportsmen To One Firearm

A Prince Edward Island recom- mendation will probably be incor- porated in the revised Migratory Bird Regulations for 195051. ac- cording to word received from the --Federal- Resources and Develop- ment Department by Hon. Eugene Cullen. Minister of Industry and Natural Resources.

The Island resolution put for- ward at a recent meeting of the Provincial-Dominion Wildlife Con- ference in Ottawa would restrict hunters to p-ssessio of one fire- arm at any time. Hon. Robert H. Winters. Minister of Resources and Development has written Mr. Cul- len assuring him the resolution will be given due consideration in the drafting of the revised regula- tions.

Up until the present. hunters have not been restricted to the number of guns they can use. But the regulations provided that shot guns had to be permanently plug- ged or altered if necessary to re- duce its capacity to not more than three shells. Object of that regu- lation. and the restriction recom- mended by Prince Edward Island. is to reduce the number of crip- pled birds during the hunting sea- son.

Waterfowl hunters will be pleu- 'ed to learn that the duck and

goose season: will remain the same as last year for the coming shooting season of 1950. A minor change in the daily bag limit on woodcock will not affect local hunters. Broods of black ducts are beginning to show up in more encouraging numbers but it's too early to make any prediction as to the hunting prospects next fall.

No Hungarian partridge coveys have been reported to date but I considerable number of pheasant broods have been seen on the move. One brood holding 12 chicks was spotted last week and another equally as large, if not larger. was flushed in the Hillsboro River area quite recently. On Wednesday last. a haymower operating It Bunbury cut over a pheasant nest contain- ing 12 eggs. The nest was in heavy clover within a short distance from the farm buildings. The'lndy of the house took the eggs home in the evening and placed them under a hen.
