Animal psychology useful to race starter ice is slowly retreating from the Shoreline of the lakes of the White Shell provincial Park and impatient anglers Are working the open Waters in the Hopes of hooking their first Lish of the season. Reports from the various lakes reveal Little open water. Some of the lakes Are still Frozen solid. Others Are open around the Shoreline. And although the season is now open general fishing conditions Are not Good. The fish Are not biting. Anglers from Northern Waters report the swollen Rivers Are spoiling the fishing in areas usually producing Good catches at this time of year of locally the majority of anglers Are staying in the City. They Are working in the flood areas and their Hobby in the outdoors is farthest from their minds. Local sporting goods dealers report Little activity in buying fishing tackle. They Are warning the flood and the late season. Hunters interested in waterfowl conditions Are wondering about conditions on the Netley Marsh. It is the general opinion that the Hatch will be poor in this District this year. High Waters on the Marsh will leave Many of the Birds High and far from water when the Young Hatch. Much of the Ideal nesting cover is under water and the general nesting areas of the District Are missing. Reports reaching this department indicate the majority of lodges Are under water. One owner was attempting to peddle his fifty dollars to this department earlier this week. The waterfowl Hunting regulations in effect during the 1949-50 shooting season raised kill of wild ducks by one and a half million director Albert m. Day of the . Fish and wildlife service announced wed based on an analysis of data gathered from bag checks and Post season Hunter contacts the wild Duck kill Index figure for the United states during the past Hunting season was 18.5 million ducks. The Index for the 1948-49 season was 17 million. Although the number of Hunters declined about 10 per cent to in 1949, or. Day declared that in addition to the increase of 10 Days in length of the shooting season Hunters had greater Hunting Opportunity because Large flocks were concentrated in the steadily diminishing areas still suitable for migratory waterfowl. Also millions of ducks and geese remained in the United states during the mild fall instead of wintering in Mexico and other Southern Points. Racing season opens saturday Calgary alta., bup the Western racing season begins in Calgary saturday and the feature of the Day will be the Premier Handicap. The race has a purse of dollars and nominations for it close today. It is run Over six and a half furlongs by three year Olds and upward. Transcona cancellation Transcona Bantam a hockey club s Windup scheduled for thurs Day has been cancelled until fur ther notice. Psychology has come to the race track. The science of the Power of the mind As it is described in the dictionary is now being applied to the thoroughbred and its study and subsequent use in handling race horses is one of the reasons Why Wilson Dunn who will again Send the Fields away when racing resumes Here next month by coming to the forefront As one of the top starters in America. The average racing Patron might believe that the starter s task is simply to pull the switch and Hope that the Field gets away in align ment but such is far from the Case. Starter Dunn has probably Learned As Many lessons in the Library As he has a member of the starting Crew and he has combined this knowledge in an Effort 100 per cent to obtain perfect starts. Gives lessons Oyoung thoroughbreds and also Jie delinquents of the track. And to Aid him in this work he has obtained a thorough grounding in animal psychology coupled with a comprehensive study of thorough bred bloodlines. Important qualities actions dispositions and apparent High order of intelligence of the truly great horses our time we must conclude that these qualities Are As important As Speed and staying Power Dunn states. Trainer Bruce Woodcock considered the great phar Lap Winner of 37 races and s332.250, As the most intelligent horse he Ever trained. The australian Star who met an untimely end after being shipped to America was kindly of even temperament and apparently i new exactly what was required of him on the Gallant sea biscuit who captured frivolous move even in the paddock and on Parade. The Day he won the Santa Anita Handicap in 1940 he stood so quietly in the starting stall that starter George Palmer feared the horse was not interested in what was taking place and would not break. Wake him up Palmer shouted to jockey red he s replied the fam Ous rider. He knows what it s All about when the Start finally came sea biscuit was off with the leaders and went on to win the event and set a track record of with 130 ibs. Aboard Over the Ivi no fits these horses not Only displayed intelligence but they were not Given to nervous Dunn continued. In the paddock and on the course they went about their Busi much of starter Dunn s work 133 events and was of Simi of giving starting lessons Lar disposition. He Seldom made a . Joins . International puck bodies widely split four times. Patience is indeed a virtue in the training of horses and newcomers to the racing scene should be brought along slowly. Consider fears when viewing a thoroughbred from the psychological standpoint we might also do Well to consider his fears. Horses perhaps More than any other animal Are full of fears. These fears Are More pronounced in some families than in others. Some horses become fear stricken the moment they enter the pad Dock and by the time they reach the Post Are completely unnerved. They Are As a Rule Washy High Strung individuals and it would add much to the improvement of the Breed if they were denied the privileges of reproduction. These undesirable qualities though As a Rule inherited can be allayed in by the method of training. If such Ness As calmly As a plow horse go Jan individual is rushed in Early Toronto up the inter at the . Meeting in Paris National ice hockey federation of girl champs reunion Edmonton up Edmon ton grads the team that dominated women s basketball from 1922 to 1940, will be Back together in Edmonton next month for a Lour Day reunion. Plans were announced wednes Day for a banquet and other functions for the team starting on the anniversary of the club s found ing june 15, 1915. Nearly All the 35 former Mem Bers of the team and their Percy Page of Edmonton Are expected Here for the gathering Al Hough their Homes now Are scat ered across Canada and the United states. The grads were disbanded in 1940 when still world champions. A reunion was planned for 1945, Dut postponed due to the War until 19-17, when All but four former members of the team attended. During the 25 years the team existed it travelled More than Miles played 522 official games and won 502. They played in four olympic games competitions without losing a single game and the Canadian Amateur hockey association thumbed its nose in the direction of the International olympic committee wednesday. It s old stuff. It All sprung from decision of the . At its Copenhagen Den Mark meeting that it would give hockey another Chance in the 1952 Oslo Winter games with a couple of ifs attached. It wanted Assurance hockey is strictly Amateur and also that or. Fritz Kraatz of Switzerland european president of the must not attend negotiations. It did t take hockey officials Long to give the . An answer. At Edmonton or. George Hardy president of the ., retorted there will be no negotiations under these terms. From Boston Wal Ter Brown vice president of the Amateur hockey association of the ., said he would go by or Hardy s decision. George Dudley of Midland ont., Secretary manager of the . A. And North american Secretary of the ., was More out spoken i said in 1848 the . Was dictatorial domineering and undemocratic and this latest affront does t change my he said in a Telephone interview from his Home. We certainly will not repudiate or. Kraatz. If he in t included in negotiations then we when the subject of con ducting the 1952 world Amateur championships will be ironed out. Dudley and or. Hardy will attend the Paris sessions. We can hold the championships apart from. The olympic games ust As we were prepared to do in Dudley said. The whole Satterfield flattens Oma Chicago Cap Chi Cago s Bob Satterfield wednesday night dented the heavyweight championship aspirations of Lee Oma by knocking film out in the sixth round of their scheduled 10-round bout in Chi Cago stadium. The fight ended suddenly 41 seconds after the Start of the sixth with the Shuff Ling Oma second ranking heavyweight Flat on his Back in a Neutral Corner. He had been floored heavily with a right to the jaw after Satterfield had battered him into the ropes. Lit Hing is that the olympic games without hockey would be a Finan Ial Flop and everybody including he ., knows the big squabble Between the . And the . Started shortly before Start of the 1948 Winter games at St. Morin Switzerland and Dud Ley was in the thick of it. The . Cancelled the sport n the Switzerland games Over participation of the . Club re stated it when hockey men ignored the edict and then banished t from future olympics after can Ada s . Team won the title or. Hardy summed up the pres ent squabble with this observation at the London Congress in March of this year the International ice hockey federation Laid ing to its Pitt in the Book Ani Mal mind states when we come to consider carefully the behaviour and mentality of the horse we find it exhibits Little real intelligence but is largely the slave of unreasoning impulse combined with a docility of temperament and a readiness to perform habits that has gone far to make it what it is namely the most useful servant of some of us May not agree with the animal psychologists but we know they did not arrive at their conclusions without making thous ands of tests and much careful the starter continues. If the horse is not As intelligent As we would believe him to be then in s to our advantage to be aware of the fact. Habits remain with animals horses in particular habits once Learned whether Good or bad Are not easily eradicated. If too Many things Are taught at one time and the Anima is hurried it is Likely he will be come frustrated and will not know what is expected of him. We might learn from this tha two year Olds should not be expected to race properly and behave j properly in the paddock and Start ing Gate when they have had the tack on for but a couple of months and have broken from the starting stalls but three or training and allowed to Start be fore the fears of the paddock Road and starting Gate Are Over ome it develops into an unmanageable Speed crazy screwball. An animal of this Type though he May Lave amazing Speed and endurance qualities is of Little value As a race horse. His Energy is expended be or the real test begins. Inferiority Complex some horses once Over matched develop an inferiority Complex Anc n future starts give mediocre performances against thoroughbred of inferior ability. I have known Dun ays who have developed a Sec and Hole Complex. No matter where laced they Are Likely to finish second the result of a habit acquired when they reached the Lead r in a race gave their Best Effort and found it not sufficient to win. As a result they have formed the Relief that they have done their of when they have reached the eader. Success Breeds Success and vice Ersa. Habits whether Good or bad be not easily broken when once earned by a thoroughbred. In looking Back Over the performances of the Best horses of our time from a psychological slant we find that in the main they showed More Equine intelligence than their contemporaries that few of them were slightly and Given to neurotic its and displays temper and that All were egotistical and supremely confident of their abilities. Careful training and schooling will develop Thev finer traits. It is our task to Sec this is a com this Unwin Label Opp tars in Garant look is Down the terms on which it would permit its world championships of 1952 to become olympic Champion ships. These were that the expulsion of the . From the inter National olympic committee should be rescinded and the . Alone would certify the teams to play in any olympic Competition. From this position which would seem to be the proper position for any self respecting International federation the . Has no in Tention of just won t meet the ." Dudley said the matter certainly would be discussed at the . .

At close of play in the opening Day the University had made 507 for three. Trouncing the toiling West in Dian bowlers on a Feather bed wicket Dewes and Sheppard eclipsed the 311 made for the Hampshire sixth wicket partner ship against West indies in 1928 by John Newman and Lionel ten not Many people realize that the in the Polo grounds.

Playing 77 games at Griffith at the same time Harridge said Nyson he will disregard Cleveland s pro lest of the Chicago team s 3-2 Vic Ory in this game. The indians protested on the grounds that on slow after being banished by Mckinley continued to direct his team from a hideout in the run Way leading to the Chicago dug out in Cleveland stadium. In voiding the protest filed by Hank Greenberg Cleveland Gen eral manager Harridge said on slow s action played no part in the final outcome of the contest. Thi tourists had to wait four hours 40 minutes before they scored their first Success when Goddard had Dewes caught by Weekes. The Lethander had made 83. Sheppard went on to bring his Core to 227.

The idea at the Polo grounds is to make the Batter hit the Ball toward Centre Field As much As possible. In other words to be successful pitching in that Park a pit Cher must keep the opposing Bat ters from pulling As much As possible. Boxing finals Start tonight Lethbridge alta., up at least 14 bouts Are expected to get the three Day Dominion boxing finals off to a flying Start in the Lethbridge Arena tonight. Some 100 fighters will be in the race for National honors. A sell out crowd of More thar fans is expected opening night and jammed houses Are practically assured for the remaining two nights. Tickets have been gobbled up East by fight fans in. Lethbridge and District. Officials of the Leth Bridge Amateur boxing association which is sponsoring the finals pre dict this will be one the biggest ports attractions held Here in Ted Williams stadium in Washington for example is different from playing half the schedule at Briggs stadium rain Detroit. And pitching in the Polo grounds most of the time is not Ike pitching in Comiskey Park in Chicago. Fly Ball hitters with just Normal Power can t win Many James in Washington. The sep tors do better when they have speedy Ball players who can Rifle line drives Over the infield. Cecil Travis was an Ideal Type Ball player for Griffith stadium. He was a consistent line drive hitter. When his drives went Between the outfielders he had the Speed to turn them into doubles and triples. Power hitters on the other hand show to advantage in Briggs stadium. They can reach the barriers in both left and right without too much trouble. That s Why Long Ball hitters Are Ideal for Detroit and not especially successful while playing for Washington. I Haven t seen too Many a Pitcher who is exceptionally fast and keeps the Ball where it can t be pulled has a Good Chance in that Park. But a Pitcher who depends on working the Corners of the plate with slow stuff must find the Polo grounds a Nightmare. Comiskey Park is the opposite the Pitcher has All the advantage there most of the time. The prevailing wind seems to blow toward the plate. In addition the Park is big All around and a substantial distance Down both foul lines. I be known some soft Ball pit Chers to enjoy considerable Success at Comiskey Park. They make the Datter furnish his own Power. And with the wind behind them most of the time such tactics enable them to keep the opposition lifting flies to the Outfield which Are easily caught. It s because of this big Dif Ference in the size and shapes of Many years. The scrappers Are scheduled to weigh in this afternoon. Very province in the Dominion with the exception of newfound and and Prince Edward Island will be represented.
