Race to feature hot horse
An eligible starter in
Sunday afternoon's Ontario
Si, Cs Stakes racing highlight
at Clinton Kinsmen Raceway
is All Candor, the undisputed
king of the province's
trotters.
Sold at auction two years
ago to owners Frank Bisbee
(also his trainer) and Jack
Beattie of Woodstock for a
mere $3,200, the 3 -year-old
colt has amassed $132,903 in
purses during'his career.
This season he's won all
eight of his Sires Stakes
encounters and he's piled up
earnings of $67,205 in just 10
starts. He finished second in
his two defeats: the first
time to world U champion
Delmegan, a filly, and two
weeks ago in the Greenwood
Stakes in Toronto, to
Glorious Andy, also an
Ontario -sired colt but not
eligible for the Sires Stakes
program, in a race that was
clacked in 2 :024-5.
Regularly driven by Terry
Kerr, All Cando -r- is the
fastest colt in Sires Stakes
competition with miles
clocked in 2;04 1-5 over a
half -mile track and in 2:031-
5 over a five-eighths mile
strip.
•
Five weeks ago All Candor
raced in a Sires Stakes at
Goderich Raceway and won
his division in 2:06 1-5, but
gave his many backers heart
murmurs when he went
offstride at the start. The
colt quickly recovered,
however, and went on to win
it over Decked and B. Cor
Samson.

Well we certainly are get-
ting enough rain now to keep
the course lovely and green -
there is also likely lots of
water and we probably
should be using water balls
from now on. Hope everyone
is able to get their matches
played in between showers.

' Kids, frogs 'n dogs! That's what the pamphlet say.,
and it's talking about the Annual Sportsman'.
Waterfowl Day which will take place this coming
Sunday ( Sept. 13) at Darlington Provincial Park, just
east of Oshawa and south of 401.
The whole day is designed to be a family outing for
mom, dad and the kids, and is jam packed with fun
events as well as offering plenty of learning op-
portunities. For example; the kids can compete in a
bullfrog -jumping contest. This event operates
throughout the day in a series of heats, with prizes
awarded for each event. Entrants may bring their own
frogs ( bullfrogs only - no leopard frogs) or use the ones
which will be available there. They can also try their
hand at Junior Nesting -Box building (precut boxes
assembled according to supplied instructions); Decoy -
Head whittling (using precut blanks with vices and
tools provided); Hip -Boot race (a 150 yd. dash over a
bog with special prizes for juniors) ; or Kid's Target
School where they can improve their skill and handling
of firearms, and compete for the best socre with pellet
guns. .
Adults can take part in Trap shooting, duck plucking,
turkey shoot, goose ,calling, duck calling and many
more events. Most competitions are free, but some
do require a nominal fee.
There will also be a trading post set up where you can
buy, sell or trade anything from dogs to decoys, boats
to paintings, or anything else related to waterfowling.
If you have anything surplus, bring it along and try
your luck. There will also be two large tents set up
containing a large number of excellent displays of
wildlife art and management, preparation of
wilderness foods, and demonstrations of the art and
skills of waterfowling.
Representatives from the Ministry of Natural
Resources will be there to answer questions and ex-
plain points of law you might not understand. Entry to
the park has also been offered free to anyone attending
the day's events. All in all, it is a good time, and it will
be well worth your while to attend if you have the
chance.

In the recipes I gave last week, I blew it a bit. When
adding sour cream, do it at the last minute just before
serving. If you put it in too soon, it will curdle, and
}hough it tastes the same, it doesn't look nearly as
appetizing.

I've
I've been aske.l by several people about those
mushrooms springing upon lawns all over town, so I'm
going to Ir'! you what i know about then, and let you
decide They may be I,eucoagaricus naucina which is
edible, or they may be Amanita virosa which is deadly
poisonous, and is commonly referred to as the
f)estuying Angel". The points of difference between
ttk se rwo species are very difficult to detect and it
would he foolish for anyone to take the chance. The
eonsequerx.e, of slight misidentification are a painful

death, or at the very least, serious dehabilitating liver
)age that is irreversible.

seven at the plate with three
singles and two doubles. Dan
Colquhoun, Casey Wildgen,
and Don Bartliff had three
hits each and Hans Lepp-
ington hit a grand slam to
lead the 20 hit attack.
On Sunday morning, the
Colts won their third straight
with a 9-6 victory over
Campbellville. Mike
Wildgen got his second win
in two days pitching eight in-
nings of solid ball. Don Mac-
Donald had four hits in the
game, including a home run
and two doubles. John Hart,
Mike Wildgen, Cam Mac-
Donald and Dan. Colquhoun
had two hits each.
On Sunday afternoon, Ivy
handed Clinton their first
defeat by a 4-2 score. Clinton
was leading 2-0 in the 8th inn-
ing when Ivy scored four
times to win the game. Clin-
ton's inability to score was
their down fall as they out hit
Ivy 10-3 and left 11 runners
on base.

runners on first and second.
Cal Fremlin took two strikes
to add to the drama before
hitting an outside fastball to
right field for a triple, to
score both runners and end
the game.
Butch Fleet caught all five
games for the Colts, throw-
ing out four men at second
and one at third to keep down
the bore stealing.
The Colt management and
players would like to express
their thanks to the fan sup-
port they reserved and two
their wives for putting, up
with the time they spent in
the park.
A very special thanks goes
out to Bill Fleming for his
sponsorship. Without his
help; none of this would be
possible.
