Amrdmgly last Saturday morning 1 hird myself to an elder cover on a sunny slope wherej knew sover- ,.; cock pheasant had a hangout. one could hunt it in twenty min- tiles and I turned my ahorthair pointer loose V.V"af.I high hopes.

The elders were neither too thick. except in the odd spot. nor too lugh and chances for a clear shot .-.-ere good if a bird was put up. In five minutes Timmy was solid on 'p(lllt'. I moved in cautiously but didn't expect too much. Maybe that i1'.",S the reason I was caught off guard when an immense cock pheas- ant thundered up almost in my face. He was one of the biggest pheasants I ever saw end must liars measured four feet from beak to tail tip and was he ever cock- ling and scolding as he crashed up through the elders. I-lis breast sides hiiigcd out beneath his wings like (he muscles of a wrestler and for a iivrilng moment I ..'sioned my- self with a fork and carving knife in my hand. I was flustered into firing the first shot too soon. That's .a ni-stake with pheasants. It pays in count at least three before pull- iu: a trigger it the bird flushes rlose.

iiiiybe its as well I didn't ooh- iieci. for he was so close the bunch- rd shot would have damaged a lot in meat. The sad part of the story is I didn't connect with the second shot either. It was with a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that I watched him cackle his way out of.sight. A minute later another ("rick flushed fifty yards to the cuth. It was blowing a miniature gate at the time and this bird shot straight up like a miniature rocket. One would think he was jet pm- neiieri for he didn't seem to be us- -ng his wings at all. when he reached the height of two tall hams he let himself go with the sale.

Two archways will be "act. ed in this fence and these will be the entrances to the raceway. The club will also embark on a beauti- fication plan for the area. The plan was approved by the council and the actual lease ngieement is

ing drawn up to be ratified at a later session of the council board ra enting the Driving Club's plan were President W.M. stiles, Col- c-onel James R. calkin and Mr. Ron- ert Hamilton.

Many horsemen wonder why such enormous prices are paid for year- ling trotters and pacers and of course the answer is that those are

to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The top priced colt of two weeks ago was a brown son of Volomlte called Voting Trust which was purchased by the Hayes Fair Acre stable of DuQuoin. 111. for 528.500. The price was well over the 322,000 high of last year's" sale but could not match the 328.000 tab turned in for Mighty Sun by Sol Camp of Shaffer, Ce.lif.. in 1948. All 15 of the expensive yearlings were bought by men who habitually race their stock over the Grand Circuit. where a horse must compete in the rich stake engagements if he is to make any kind one return on his own- er's heavy investment.

The brothers of two pacers who raced against each other in many a thrilling duel through 1046-47 and '48 brought spirited bidding. Gander. a full brother to the great Goose Bay, went to Goose Bay's owner, C. M. Saunders of -Toledo. Ohio, for 325,000 while Diamcriid chief, full brother to Forbes Chief was bought by "octave Blake oi south Piainfieid. N.J. for 317,000. He also owns Forbes Chief. The Hayes Pair Acre stable also bought the third highest-priced colt, a brown three-quarters brother to their Lusty song, biggest money- winning trotting colt in history with 0124.041 to his credit as a two and three-year-old and winner of the 1950 Hambietonian. The colt is Theme Song and cost 317.500.

.

The leading standardbred sire of modern times, Volomiie, was rep- resented at the sale by as yeariings which sold for s241,800'- for an unheard of average of 07.327. This week, Volomite was retired from public stud rservioe and will here- after he bred only under private conditions. His stud fee was 85.000. The excellent Lexington sale should add best to the goings-on at Bar- risburg. Pa... during the second week in November when the stan- dardbred sales company holds its annual auction. Regarded as the biggest and most important sale in harness racing, the Harrisburg ring last year turned out Imperial Han- over, a 872,000 colt sold to W.W Mclntyre of Hollis, Va. The colt has yet to get to the races although it in the highest priced yearling sten- dardbred ever sold at public auc- tion. s 1

The scooter capped his but see- aoa by polling iolof 22 first-place votes of a committee of the Beac- ball Writers Association.

Boston's Billy Goodman. league batting champion with a .254 av- erage, polled four first-place bal- lots. The other three went to Yogi Berra, the Yankees' fine catcher. -Ted Williams of Boston. most valuable a year ago but sidelined by injuries for half the season. lin- ished way down the list. .

Joe DiMaggio. the Yankee Clip- per and a three-time winner, was ninth.

Back of Rlzzuio. Goodman and Berra came Detroit's George Keli. the all-star third baseman. follow- ed by Cleveland's Bob Lemon, a 23-game winner.

Wait Dropo, Boston's powerful first base rookie. took sixth place. Then came Vic Raschi, Yankee pitching ace with a 21-8 record. Cleveland's Larry Doby. Joe Di- Maggio and Vic Wertz. Detroit's slugging fielder. '

It was Ri1.zuto'a first "most- valuable” success, following a sea- son" he long will.resne-tnber as his best in the major leagues. Al- ways an outstanding shortstop. Phil came through with a .324 batting average that included 50 extra base hi .

Known as s "pesky" hitter be- cause of his ability to bunt and hit and run. the five-foot-six Riz- zulo showed more power this year. He collected 200 hits, including 36 doubles. seven tripla and seven home runs.

Rizzuto, now 32, was the only Yankee to play every game.

Goodman. a jack-of-all-trades for the Red Sox, had a remark- able season. He started at first base until injured. When he was able to return, rookie Dropo had the job sewed up. So he played second base for Bobby Doerr. shortstop for Vern Stephens and wound up at third for Johnny Pesky. His best hitting came from July to September when be fined in for Williams in left field.

Berra. driving in 124 runs with

his .320 average. continued to de- velop as a catcher under Bill Dickey's coaching and hit 28 homers. Kell missed his bid for a second straight batting crown but finished second with .340. ,Lemon led all the pitchers in the major: with 23 victories while losing 11. He was the strlkeout king with 175, worked most inn- ings. 208; and tied with St. Louis' Ned Carver with 22 complete games.
