A trout's a trout to him, whether hg be native, brown or rainbow. 4 However, members of the Genu |. Salmo have 100 to 20C large or small scales along the lateral line, while the chars--and this may sur- prise you, since, as I've noted the brook trout is a char --- have be- tween 200 and 250 scales in a core responding area. There's a differ- ence in tooth structure also, too ine |. tricate to detail here. It's hardly necessary to add that the scales of most trout are so deeply imbedded and so small that even trout fishermen often aren't aware that there are any. In Jor= don ®and Evermann's American Food and Game Fishes, 37 species and sub-species of the Genus Salmo are "listed, two species of (Cristi- vomer and nine others. So many are named for the locality in which they are native that a layman is inclined to wonder whether some of them aren't the same fish with slightly different coloration. The Atlantic salmon is head of the family. S8almonidae, so far as weight is concerned, and pound for pound hell challenge any of his kin in fighting spirit too. Rod and reel record for the Atlantic salmon is 79 pounds, 2 ounces. The fish was caught in Norway in 1928. A 63-pound lake trout taken in Mani- toba in 1930 holds the rod and reel record for the species. Biggest landlocked salmon ever taken on rod and reel weighed 22 pounds, 8 ounces. It was caught in Sebago lake, Maine, in 1907. A 14% -pound Drops landed in 6 to top the native trout records. ! Big League Ball Games Yesterday By JOE RICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer Dave (Boo) Ferriss may yet rea- lize his ambition of joining Wi a wartime pitcher and were forced to eat their words when the strap- pping righthanded eballer pro- ceeded to even better his 1945 re- cord, began to pop again. "He needs lots of runs to win," they ob. served. For the second time yesterday Ferriss proved that this was a wrong observation. His mates made only eight hits for him, three of which he contributed himself, but Dave gave up only seven and whip- ped Chicago White Sox 6-3 to give the American League defending champions a split in their double. header, The White Sox won the tcap 6-5. i record now is a respectable Cincinnatti, knocked New York Giants out of sole possession of the National League leadership when they handed previously un- beaten Clint Hartung his first set- back of the season by crushing the Giants 9-3. Hartung, a converted outfielder who boasted a 4-0 .récord prior to ' WAGGLE SHOULD BE DONE making a shot, "Why does Bob Hope waggle 80 many times before eachh shot?" asked Mrs. Sam Hedquist, who was part of the huge gallery following the golfing comic as he played an exhibition match over the country club course at Phoenix, Ariz. The same question has been thrown at me numerous times and it was very much in order. The Hope waggle demands attention. It 'is a conspicuous part of the star's golf technique, and it enight be called just another golfing eccen- tricity, but, it is something really important. It manifests the men- tal and physical state of the player before he starts his backswing. Bob waggles, as shown in the pic- tures above. After placing his feet, taking his stance he lifts the club- head off the turf and whips it back about three feet, then repeats this move until he goes into his regular swing. Each repetition finds the club being whipped a little faster LACIE AE SRT T SY PE a SHPTS TER) Bob Hope has his troubles starting the backswing. He waggle the club back and forth over the ball as many as 17 times before 2% has been known to and more pressure being exerted against the shafts as he replaces the clubhead on the und. It is not unusual for him o through this waggle a dozen times before making the shot. It represents a period of complete serlousnéss for Bob as I found when I tried to kid Gim about it. It is his effort to build up his own enthusiasm, concentration and all he wants to put into hig grand attempt to make a successful shot. The zeal he shows in whipping the clb back and forth so.often is but a emasure of the effort he makes to be successful with the shot. You can't criticize a player for trying but, you can weigh his method. The most effective waggle is not a rersonal routine, an eccentricity. It is a small seétion of the correct swing done slowly, quietly and eas- ily. It should not be foreign to the Hovements or tempo of the back- TREN RERUR I on ie ov uA Tas mi. of REET IIE © Naty SNE © AES 3 GRADE NO. 1 ETHYL and GRADE NO. 2 CASOLINE AT REASONABLE PRICES also 100 PER CENT PENNSYLVANIA OILS AND OTHER MOTOR OILS We Also Sell 'COAL OIL -- FUEL OIL -- STOVE OI PHONE 3198 FOR QUICK DELIVERY || and Atomic provided a measure of gin as Cardy's Atomic and Tex beat the game, was slugged for 12 hits including home runs by Eddie Lu- kon and Eddie Miller.

The cheval takes second place now to the con- vertible and it no longer costs a society woman $13,000 for the morn- ing, afternoon and evening gowns necessary' to attend a show, as it did in the 90's, but the annual event is still important in Devon and they prize their championships highly , . . 80 it must have been a' shock last week-end when a couple of invaders from Canada created a precedent by winning the jumper championship and the reserve championship for the first time in the 51-year history of the Devon classic.

Ladies Golf Ancaster, Ont, June 3 (CP).-- Given a large assist by rain, mud and fog, the Hamilton Golf and Country Club's women's par of 76 was the biggest winner in the qualifying round of the Ontario ladies' golf championship yesterday. But for official purposes the 13- over-par 88 posted by Mrs, Cecil Gooderham of the Toronto ladies' club' was good enough to lead 15 other women in the first round match play in the championship Outside the 18 qualifiers, golfers posting gross scores ranging from 103 to 161 were bracketed in three consolation flights. ' Mrs, Gooderham was closely pur- sued by two other Toronto golfers, Mrs. M. H, Currer and Mrs. J. Hanna, who posted 89's. Hamil- ton's Mrs. Clifton Shuttleworth, qualified with a gross 90. Miss Ada Mackenzie of Toronto, defending champion, was among the qualifiers with a 95. There was only one upset in the day's play and it saw one of the pre-tourney favorites, Miss Rose Kampman of Kitchener bow out of championship contention with a score of 102. She was tied for the last qualifying spot with Mrs. George Stanley of the Toronto Thornhill club but lost the draw. Mrs. Currer won the low net prize, her 10-handicap giving her a net 79. With a net 345, the Hamilton Gol! and Country Club won the team prize. scores were: Mrs. F'. R. Mirgatroyd, 83; Miss D. McIlwraith, 83; Mrs. J.

Officials.of the United States Golf Association decided, Locke, who has already romped off with the top prize money of the six major American . tournaments this year, would have to swing his clubs along with 1,317 other pros and amateurs competing in the qualifying round. 80 Bobby journeyed to Garden City yesterday to tee off in the fleld of 95 metropolitan distriot aspirants. e smiling Afrikander--""Putting Pete," the pros call home--put to- gether cards of 73 and 75 for a 36- hole total of 146, three over par. .

The yh jaste i) Jamed at a m of the club. The Bishop of Chester, Dr. D. H. dent of the club, orman Tubbs, former soccer blue, debated the subject. Here are the highlights of their discussion: "The bishop said his family played tennis on Sunday and he did not object to members playing at nets or playing friendly games, but he feared Sabbath cricket might be- come commercialized. He opposed employment of staff on Sundays. The dean-thought Sunday cricket "would be very jolly, and the ladies would run a tea party, which would be. very good." : "But," he asked, "who is going to run the Sunday schools? Are we only going to have sissies? And are the real men going to play cricket and leave much of the ing to old ladies?" e meeting, by a 27-to-7 vote decided no staff should be, em- ployed and no gate money taken for the games. Has anyone the answer fo this hole-in-one golf problem? : A Swansea, Wales, golfer saw his tee shot resting in 'the hole leaning against the flag stick. Before he could reach it a guest of wind bent the stick and forced the ball onto the green. He putted for a two, but he says he was robbed of a hole in one be- cause the ball was moved by "an outside agency." Jockey Ronnie Hudson, twice re- ported dead during the war, has taken out his license for 1947. He rode in Egypt and Palestine during the war and in both countries had accidents which led to reports that he had died. The National Horse Association of Great Britain has approved amal- gamation with the Institute of the Horse and Pony Club. The idea is to have one body to speak for the horse owners. Members of the West England Greyhound Owners Association have written to Prime Minister Attlee asking him to lift the ban on mid- week meetings. The Association said the ban "affords no justifica- tion in principle whatever so long as horse racing and motorcycle speedway meetings continue unre- strained." Lawson Little Not Entered In Canadian Open It looks as though Lawson Little may not be on hand for the Canad- iari Open Golf Championship at To- ronto Scarboro in mid-July, but, it's a cinch that his name will enter the proceedings if any of the boys start turning in scores in their quest for the Gold Cup and the lion's share of the $10,000 prize money. Little hasn't filed an entry for the tournament yet, although officials are still hope- ful that he will. Little, the Chicago past-master of golf, still holds the record for the Canadian Open. His par-busting 271 was set over the par 70 St. Andrews layout of Toronto in 1936 -- first dian Championship. Closest chal lenge to that mark in subsequent years was Sam Snead"s 274 over To- roto Scarboro in 1041. Nineteen forty-one is interesting not as much because of Snead's 274 as because of the 276 Bob Gray of Torento put together to capture second place. That .276 is the lowest score a Canadian player has chalk- ed up for 72 holes since the Cana- dian Open had its inception in 1904, although Stan Leonard of Vancouv- er was a single stroke back of the winner with 279 last year. Gray's performance and Little's 1936 feat have placed in Gold Cup annals two records which surpass anyth! the Open had produced since it started. Whether the records will still be standing after this year's 38th an- nual Open remains a question. Cer- tainly, there will be a wealth of Canadian and U.S. talent on hand for efforts to shatter the marks; but equally certain is the fact that the records will be hard to beat. Scarboro is a par 71 course, s0 the boys will have to shoot a shade better than three under par each round to equal Little's mark; more than two under per round to pass Gray's record. Which is quite some shooting even for the high calibre players which the Gold Cup at- tracts, EXTEND UK. FORESTS London -- (CP) -- The United Kingdom government has adopted a 50-year plan for extending the country's forests from 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 acres. This scheme will ultimately enable Britain to satisfy 35 per cent of her timber needs. A Press Pass Isn't Always Open Sesame New York, June 2--(CP)--News- paper men are privileged quick to learn and exploit the value of a Press Pass at such public spec tacles as a prize fight or a four. alarm fire, but even The Pampered Pundits of Press Row sometimes come off second best . . , One such instance is related by a Canadian reporter in New York who decided to write a feature story on Johnny Longden, the Alberta-raised jockey who has ridden more winners (around 3,000) than any other rider in North America . . . Three tele- Piote calls and several letters , the writer had his Working- Press Pass for Belmont Park, after overcoming stout front-office re- sistance. from Racing Authorities who insisted that the quota for Press Passes was full until Leap Year, 1952. Cub Room, Maybe? _ So the reporter boarded a sub- way for beautiful Belmont and made his way to the jockey quar- ters , , . Longden stood in sight on a porch, relaxing between races, but between the jockey and the report er rose the impressive figure of a liveried attendant, stiff in the dig- nity of his position . . . "Sorry, Buddy," said the attendant. "No admittance here unless you're a horseman" , . . The reporter pleaded ing | his mission in vain, left to make a losing bet on the next race and came back to try again . .. Still no reaction from the attendant. .-. Clothes Conscious As the reporter turned away, ilosophically figuring that enough been written about Longden, anyway, a man in the flowing robes of the Clergy passed through the gate toward the jockey quarters. . , The attendant loomed in his path and had just started on the "sorry, buddy" routine when a second voice broke in and addressed the clergy- man . . . "All right for you to go in, Sir," said attendant No. 2; ob- viously a =otch higher in the scheme of things at Belmont . . , Then, in a withering aside to at tendant No. 1: "You gotta be care- ful, all right, but I always respect a mag of the cloth."
