Larry, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Elson of Prince Albert is continuing his strong pitching this year as he led a Kemptville team to their third consecutive junior title in a Lions fast- ball tournament held in Ottawa over the August 1 weekend. After winning the junior title the Kemptville A's entered the senior compe- tition and just failed to take the top honours in that division as well. Larry's strong work on the mound was very much in evidence during the four day event in Ottawa. In the junior competition he pitch- ed 21 full innings, allowed just four hits, no earned runs, and fanned 39 batters. And in the senior compe- tition his record was even more impressive. In 28 itching innings he had 54 strikeouts (an average of, almost two per inning) and allowed just three earned runs. Accomplishments like this don't go unnoticed of course, and, Larry was selected most valuable pitcher in both the junior and senior sections, and his .500 batting average won him the most valuable play- er in the junior division. Oshawa Merchants, the Ontario senior fastball champions ran into Larry's strong arm in one game of the tournament as the Kemptville A's beat them 1 to 0. Larry fanned 18 batters and held the Oshawa team to just two hits. His record for the tourna- ment was an amazing 93 strikeouts through 49 inn- ings pitched, and he gave up just three earned runs. An all-round athlete who learned his minor ball in Port Perry, Larry plays defence for the Junior O0.H.A. Ottawa 67's during the winter months. Bombers lead by 9 pts.
