New..books_ for free One of the most colorful laiPCeS of COMP-hither literature put out by the. Oritarih p-Pn'artment of Tourism and. Information is the booklet, entitled "On, tario Fishing", What gives it real class is the photng, raptly, .attractive. outdoors scenery and big fish, while the text is kept to basic information. Now, there's to be companion booklet, "Hunt- .ing in Ontario", The text of this one will be a little more extensive, dealing with every species of animal and bird individually as well as telling those from outside the country the rules and regulations of hunting here, "Hunting in Ontario" should be released in August, in time for the annual influx from south of the border, but it should become popular with resi- dents too. Similar to the fishing publication, it will be given. out free by the department. 'The author of the hunting booklet is John Power, an. outdoors writer, fisherman, hunter and snowmobiler, but his name will likely not appear on the booklet, The same was the case with the fishing volume, the text of which was done by Pete McGil- len, a now-retired outdoors writer. Power says the department hopes for a big- ger than ever influx of hunters this year. "After the bright lights of EXPO last year, they're ready for some outdoors," he says.. The province has been using handsome color television outdoors ads in the United States this year as part of the tourist campaign. One of the major attractions for U.S. hunters here is the moose, an animal that can't be hunted in the States, except Alaska, There are now about 130,000 moose in On- tario. Another Ontario attraction for American fish. ermen is the splake, the fish resulting from crossing lake and speckled trout. The result is a game fish less beautiful than the brook trout but much faster growing. Three-year-old splake have been taken 19 inches long and weighing around 2% pounds. John Power, author of the new publication has just re- turned from a fly-in trip to an Algoma lake where he and a companion caught several splake up to eight pounds. DRAGS ARE POPULAR The most popular summer spectator sport in the district continues to be drag racing at the Grand Bend Raceway. Again Sunday afternoon, hundreds of cars and thousands of fans jammed the racing strip at the former Grand Bend Airport to watch the drag- sters in action. We have often wondered why the word drag is used to describe a sport which is the exact oppo- site of what the word drag usually means. Well, we've finally found the answer. A fearsome looking drag car can, from a tanding start, reel off a quarter of a mile in some- thing like seven seconds. Adoption of the term is quite simple according to one of the drivers. It comes from the "drag" races of 100 or so years ago, when draft horses dragged huge hunks of stone or lumber from point to point, and contests were staged to see which horse could drag the greater weight the fast- est and farthest. MARK YOUR MINNOW TRAP In case some fishermen are not aware of a new regulation, it is now compulsory for an angler to have his name clearly marked on any trap he uses to take bait fish for personal use.

Jack Fuller, Dave Wood and Doug Kennedy shared the pitching chores for the winning BA 98's. GO ON HITTING SPREE The Teen Town BA's went on a real hitting spree in their first game of the season as they pounded out 16 hits in slaughter- ing the Kin nine 12-1 Thursday. Bill Farquhar led the winning batting attack as he banged out four singles in five trips to the plate. Farquhar's first single in the opening frame, along with similar hits from the bats of Jack Glover and Terry Bourne, pro- duced three Teen runs in the first frame. Bill Fairbairn's one base blow in the fourth sent Farquhar and Bill Bourne home safely while the same Bourne homered with pitcher Doug Kennedy aboard in the fifth to up the Teen run total to seven.

Doug Kennedy went the seven inning distance on the Teen Town mound and held the Kinsmen to a single run. HOMERS HELP Home runs in the early innings helped the Legion on the way to their 13-4 win over Centralia Industrial Park, Monday.
