 As we pointed out, as a heSi- tant Owen stood swaying on the border, National League owners should have gotten together and richly rewarded the catcher for changing his mind,

 Olmo had not yet had time to establish himself as name player and the others couldn't play in the big show, anyway,
 For once orator Rickey popped off out of turn-before Owen de- cided not to go thorugh with the Mexican venture, We don't want dissatisfied ballplayers on the Dodgers. Even if he returned, Owen would be on the market, etc."

the new tote board which show him how many of the citizeng dollan are pouring into the till.
 The only trouble, boss, was that my timing was off. I stepped into turfdorn's sancturn sanctorlm just before they went to the post in that last race--and that two dollar ticket trying to cheer Jeff was on an % to 1 shot
 Being three miles away from the hotel you can understand that ! was a little nervous. After all, boss, my feet are plenty tired from going all out like I do in the assiduous pursuit of my duties. M
 The trouble was that Colonel Vim could see the double feature on the tote board from his spot. But all I could make out was the odds part which showed that my horse was now 90 to l.
 So he starts telling me that he's making great plans for the next year, imagine, and the guy an octo- genarian. They're going to blow QuAIe A 1eW bpOuShIlub ESouhAuAAAB the infield so everybody can get good gander at the race, he said.
 Sits and squirms
 And, meanwhile. the section of the tote board l can see has stoppe0 flashing and I know they're off and running. Well, boss. let Churchill Downs toss their cash around but there goes my 90 to shot with me and Jeff Davis sitting 1t out. I'm nervous I'll tell you, but I can't inc terrupt the old gentleman. So I sit and squirm, boss, while he keeps talking thousands as if 1t was hay they were feeding Lord Boswell. The sun flashes off his gold watch chain, one big enough to hog tic a Ally, while I'm sweating freely with the temperature in the fifties.
 And on he goes, about how they have to care for 5000 employees, and how the derby purse on Saturday will be $lo0,000, and how much they'll spend to improve the joint and my last two dollars either gone or multiplied by 90 to in the mean. time. So finally I got away.
 But as said boss, need some scratch.

Hunting and Fishing
 By
 GENE VALL0N

On various os: asions we have used this column as 0 medium to air the gripes of John e. Fisherman and delighted in doing so. Today we en- Joy once again that same delight by quoting Q letter from Carl J. Hassell of Naugatuck, In the hopes that his suggestion, in e small way, may help to better the Hunting and Fishing sports in this state,
 Writes c. J. Hassell:
 Dear Mir, Vallon:
 am taking to the pen to bring forth Q mounting note of dtsdain among lake fishermen, including myself, concerning total disregard by State Fish and Game Ofilcials of the dwtndling bag" from summer fishing ct Bantam Lake. Having fished and lived ct the Lake for the past ten summer seasons, 1 can per- sonally verify the poor state of the sport, notably plckerel.
 credit it wholly to Ice fishing, The Lake is very heavily fished and has no alternate winter season reg. ulation which the state has wisely exercised on other ponds and lakes which do not take one-haf the fish- ing traffic expended upon Bantam Lake.
 l have querled various game war; dens on this unsatisfactory situation and the thought of alternating sea- sons, and have received nothing more than c remark implying that the lake Is a natural breeding ground"
 If the wardenS would refer to their check lists of the past four seasons, I think 1t would be proven that Q natural breeding ground has It's taxable limits.
 I am not the type of sportsman to complain If I don't bring home enough fish to feed my neighbors, I mention this fact to add weight of sincerity to this letter. I am ale ways plugging for one larger than the last one, but that Hast one" was so far back I have lost the vision.
 I hope this letter and concern of mine Is taken up by the many mental" objectors to fishing condi- tions at Bantam Lake and clamor for a fighting chance for a fighting fish, a remedy for which I honestly believe is an alternating Ice fishing regulation,
 Yours for better fishing,
 CARL J. HASSELL,
 Bristol Terrace,
 Naugatuck.

Today's Sport Parade

Louisville, Ky, April 30-(UP)- Dear Boss: need some scratch.
 This horse race country really has walloped my wallet, with the deluxe demitasse right in the presence of the head man of them all-Col. Matt Vim.
 As you told me. went down today to get an interview with Col. Winn, who has promoted this Kentucky derby into the top drawer of sports event. But. what with bell boys, porters, walters, cab drivers, shoeshine boys and all holding out that ready palm in this horse-nutty town, I showed up in the coloneT s swanky quarters with a confederate dollar and a two-buck ticket on the last race in my pocket.
 The colonel was very gracious, boss. He stood up on that red plush carpet, leaned over that gleaming mahogany desk, dumped the ashes from a dollar stogie into a golden, monogrammed cuspidor, and smiled pleasantly at the poor est pauper this side of that joint over the hill It made me feel swell, but the picture of Jeff Davis on that confederate dollar was crying for company and the two dollar mutuel ticket didn't seem to be do- ing much answering.
 Sees "TOte" Board
 Vim has a very lovely spot there. His desk sits back in a corner of 8 room that looks as big as Carnegie Hall and he has a commanding view from the second floor. Down below, through a battery of three windows which run from ceiling to floor, are acres of tulips geraniums and other flowers and the paddock. And, staring him right in the kisser, are the beautiful lights of
