Stay at Emma Successful The young men have been very successful during- their stay at Em- ma lake, having taken over 200 specimens comprising 20 different small mammals and over 50 differ- ent lbirds. Among the mammals cap- tured were included the first hoary bat to be recorded in the province, a flying squirrel, and no less than five phenacomys. This last animal, of which few have heard, and which still fewer can pronounce, is exceedâ€" ingly rare, the only previous speciâ€" mens recorded in the province havâ€" ing been taken at Lake Athabaska some years ago. It is a member of the wood mouse family. but has a blond face and a short tail. Among the rare 'birds of which Specimens were obtained were two pileated woodpeckers. commonly known as “cock of the woods.” This, of the well-known western orni- thologist and writer, is only 19 now, and was only 15 at the time of his Churchill experience. He is the son of Angus Mowat, author of “Then I’ll Look Up.” In company with Frank Banfield, of Toronto University, HarrisfiHorde of Richmond Hill and Murray Robb, of Prince Albert, he spent the last month canixped on the north share of Emma lake, collecting specimens of bird and animal life of northern Saskatchewan. They are engaged in making a faunal survey of this province and moved on to CarltOn, where they spent a week or so. Saskatoon, Dundurn, Cypress Hills; and finally Val M'arie, in the ex- treme south, will then be visited in the order named. A short stay will be made at each point while obser- vations are made and collecting of specimens is d0ne. er. Banfield is the mammalogist of the expedition and is the sen of the Rev. A. W. Banfield, F.R.G.S., wellâ€"known traveller and author. He was born in central Africa, where his father was engaged in recording the language of the savage Nupe tribe of Nigeria, on paper. As a child in the. interior of the dark continent he was introduced to H. Mr. Mowat is probably the young~ est ornithologist in Canada, but in spite of his youth has been on sev- eral scientific expeditions to study bird life, ncluding one to Churchill on Hudson Bay, headed .by Frank L. Farley, a foremost authority on sub- Arctic bird life. Mowat, a nephew of the well-known western orni- thologist and writer, is only 19 now, and was only 15 at the time of his Emma lake may become a mecca for scientists interested in northern Saskatchewan fauna, according to Farley Mowat, formerly of Saskaâ€" toon, now of Richmond Hill, near Toronto. We reprint the following from the Prince Albert Daily Herald which tells of the successful ex- ploits of two Richmond Hill boys, ‘Farley Mowat and Harris Horde who 'have been on an expedition surveyâ€" ‘ing the bird and animal life in; northern Saskatchewan.

Many of the summer visitors to Em- ma lake saw some of the specimens which were stored at the Okema Beach warehouse after being cured until the party left, at which time a large caseful was shipped to Toâ€" ronto from Prince Albert.

Richmond Hill’s BA. softball team won .the first of the play-off series for the league championship by de- feating the highly raced Newmai‘ket Redmen by a score of 10-7 at the Richmond Hill Park Tuesday even- ing. These two highly favored teams meet again tonight at New- market in the second game of the series. “Ren” Brown hit a homer in the home team’s first inning for Rich- mond Hill’s first run. Newmarket added one to their count in‘ the sec- ond inning but were held scoreless in their half of the third. The Hill counted one, Bill Buchanan scoring bringing the score 5-2. Hilton .scor- ed for Newmarket in the fourth and a home run hit for Tim Saul scored Bill Pollard making the count 5â€"4 at the end of the fourth. The B.A. ’boys made it two more in the fifth to take the lead for the first time in the game, Art Cream and Ted Bennett scoring. The visitors threat- ened to come back in the sixth and got one run but the home team really struck their hitting guide in the 6th to hammer in four runs. One of these was a beautiful three-bag- ger by pitcher Bennett. The QIiSlt- ors managed to add one meize in the ninth to make the final score 1‘0-7. The locals won Tuesday night af- ter allowing the visitors four runs in the opening innings. Geo. Stong who started on the mound for the Hill was replaced by Ted Bennett after the visitors chalked up the four counters and from that time on visiting batters were held in check.
