Harold R. Scott. With the approach: of the sale Department employees are busy listing about 400 firearms confiscat- ed for infractions of the game laws of the Province. Eighty per cent of the guns are 22 rifles--probably the most pop- ular but also one of the most dan- gerous"2rms in use on this con- tinent when in the hands of young boys or the unskilled. Included in the collection are two shotguns +. which would be considered a prize to any lover of guns. Why their original owners ever took the risk of losing such magnificent wea- pons by allowing themselves to be caught without licenses or shoot- | ing out of season has the officials puzzled. But, valuable as they are, the two weapons will be offered for - sale to the highest bidder, along with the rest. An unusually low number of rif- les were seized from United States tourists or hunters during the year, Department officers said. Of the total of 397 weapons only eight were taken from visitors and these were confiscated mainly be- cause the tourists had neglected to obtain licenses. Many of the guns are of the "souvenir" variety of Britain, Unit- ed States, German or Belgian make. Most of these are cut down army rifles mounted on sporting stocks and lightened considerably. | At least one, product of a British armory, is more than 40 years old, but it is in excellent shape. The arms to be offered for sale are the best of those which were seized. Many, which the Depart- ment considered to be unsafe for purchasers, or anyone else, to use, are to be taken out, the stocks broken and the rest eventually sunk in a deep .spot in Lake On- torip. A breakdown of the reasons for ¢ seizure by the Department reveals that of the total of 397 confiscated Weapons 183 were for hunting with- that 8 cocks or more. than three ,out a licence--of which six were | from non-residents of the Prov- |ince; 96 for taking game animals jand birds (deer, moose, migratory birds, pheasants, partridge and black squirrels) during the pro- | hibited period of which two were | from non-residents, | Hunting during prohibited hours | accounted for 37 seizures; posses- | sion of fire-arms in timber, mining | or construction camps for 24; hunt- |ing on Crown Game Preserves for 17; carrying loaded fire-arms in | motor vehicles for 16 and 11 for | miscellaneous reasons. Under the | latter bracket seven were seized for | illegal trapping; one for having | fire-arms in a Provincial Park; one | for discharging a fire-arm from a | highway; one for shooting - fish land another for obstructing an of- | ficer. In addition to those mentioned {13 will be included in the sale | which were seized from persons whose identity is hot known by (reason of the fact that those in- volved in the infractions, after | placing the fire-arms in what they | imagined might be safe hiding | places, managed to elude officers. However, although the culprits es- | caped, the weapons were found and 'seized by conservation officers. As is customary, all the guns will | be sold by sealed tender, the pros- | pective purchaser making his selec- | tion, entering the number of the {gun on a form supplied for the | purpose, and folding and sealing it |in an envelope. A few days later, | the purchaser will be notified as |to whether his bid has been acs | cepted.

Quilla Hanover, fleet daughter of Billy Direct, was favored to become the first filly ever to win the side- wheeling feature of the Grand Cir- cuit meeting. The little lady, own- ed by Cleo A. Young of Timmons- ville, S.C, and driven by 30-year- old Johnny Simpson of Chester, S.C, was quoted at 5 to 2. Stiff Opposition Arrayed against her were some of the country's finest pacing colts, however. A couple of weeks ago the favorite set a two-heat record for three-year-old pacing fillies by going in 2:00 4/5 and back in 2:01 in the Horseman Futurity at In- dianapolis. With only 11 starters, this year's Jug dropped off a bit from the record purse of $58,281.30 set a year ago when 16 faced the starter and Good Time won in straight heats to pick up $23,312.53. Quoted at 4 to 1, and slated to give Quilla Hanover an argument, were Irish Hal, owned by K. D. Owen .of Houston, Tex., and Chief Long, owned by O. C. Adelman of Mt. Vernon, O. Frank Ervin, who piloted Good Time to victory a year ago, and who finished third with Navy Hal in 1948, will be in the sulky behind Irish Hal. $500 Entry Fee The 11 starters are survivors of the 568 original nominees. Their By WILFRED GRUSON Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, {ept. 21--(CP) -- The merger of the two professional football - circuits in the United States last winter couldn't have come at a worse time for Ulysses Curtis and many other American | gridiron stars. But in the case of Curtis, the amalgamation = 6f the National League and All-America Confer- ence helped Canadian football plenty. In all probability, if it hadn't come off, Curtis today would be playing for one of the professional clubs. As it is, the former All-Ameri- | can Negro halfback is on the road to stardom in the Canadian game with Toronto Argonauts of the Big Four Union. He has shot ahead as the league's leading scor- er with 30 points in four games. He has racked up six touchdowns on sensational running and pass-re- ceiving plays. The 24-year-old native of Albion,' Mich., ended his college career just as the merger put a glut of foot- ball players on the professional market. Otherwise, he figures his college record would have earned him a bid with a .pro team instead of only a passing nod. Curtis himself is not the only one who thinks he could have made the pro grade. Those who have seen him play in Canada are in- clined to agree, especially Frank Clair, Bob Masterson and Jahn Kerns, all former American pro- fessional stars who now are coach- ing in Canada. Clair, head coach at the Univer- sity of Buffalo in 1948-49 and var- sity end coach at Purdue Univer- sity Curtis' terrific running ability and excellent pass-receiving would stand out in any league. owners dropped a $500 starting fee into the box yesterday.
