by the Dominion Department of Fish-
erles this summer with n view to de-
termine whether seallops are Diresent
in waters of northern British Colum-
hia in sufficient quantities to support
a cannnercint fishery. Hitherto there
ns been no commercial fishing for
scallops off British Columbia but many
emyty shells have been fowd on the
henches of the Queen Charlotte Island
hordering Dixon Entrance and this
condition has suggested that extensive

heds of these tasty shell fish may ex-

New. Hazelton.
‘is Still Loosing
Its Ball Games

New Hazelton baseball continued its
non-Winning streak last Sunday after-
noon when Smithers senior team came
down for the first time this - season.
The New Hazelton team showed very
distinct signs of a lack of practice,
expecially when Smithers men were on
taxes suid the bull was knocked out in
the fiekl. Jt was poor base ball but
aft times the fous whe did nut take the
Side too seriously, got a good laugh.
Not only were the local boys somewhiut
at a loss at tines what to do, but the
sinithers buse runners were so flaber-
xasted at what they saw that they
Just sfood on the buses nud stared,

The finnl seore was 9 te 8 in favor
of the visitors. but they lad te phiy
eleven innings to get those. In the -
beginning the visitors took three runs
aul in the second they teosk another,
Everyone was hitting Spooner who
did pat seem to be in fourm at all, He
Manked, ,the Smithers boys in the 3rd
iming, und” then retired in favor of L.
Parent who had been. playing a nice
game ut short. Parent, with
cousidernble assistance fram the field
blanked the visitors. tor three more
innings then they got one in the sev-
enth (they shonld bave had a lot more
us.it was at this stuge that New Haz-
elton was throwing the ball up and
down from heme to second, etr while
the visitors stood on their bases and
rould” not believe their eyes. Smith-
ers then got one in the eighth to tie
the score; they were blanked in the
ninth ‘nnd tenth but got some Iu’cky
breaks in the eleventh for three runs.
1 . Hazelton got. a’ run-in the first
inning. and two in the ‘second. and ‘one
in the third and fourth, They werd
hlankell once and then took another
Wnt after that lost their ‘batting eye
and were Manked five times.

The local teams are pretty well shot

hand even by choosing from both Haz-

elton nid New Hazelton it is hard to
set the same snappy plays that char-
ucterized the New Hazelton team the
last three years... They will have te
go some if they get a place in the fin-
tl game at Smithers on July i whe
it is rumored that a railway team is
to be tp from Rupert,
