AUL ¥ Press Staff Writer : Ward of Chicago White Sox is hailed as the hot- test baseball prospect ever to @ome out of the north. ; But before Canadians swell with pride over the chances of ¢ native son being named ie of the Year in the Amer- f@an League, there are a few things worth noting. It's true that Pete was born in Montreal. It's also true that his father is Jimmy Ward, the old National Hockey League star. But the young third baseman is hardly in a class with the Mountie or birch bark canoe as a symbol of canadianism. In- deed, Pete speaks with a broad American accent. It's hardly likely he picked up any baseball knowledge in Can- ada en route to the major leagues. He was only six when hfs father moved to Portland, Ore., to manage 'that city's team in the Western Hockey gue. As for stories that Pete gave up a hockey career to concen- trate on baseball, the fact is he hasn't played hockey since he was 14. "But I still skate quite a bit," Pete offered hopefully in a tele- phone interview from Cleveland where the White Sox were play- ing the Indians. FEW TIES "What are your real recollec- tions of Canada?" he was asked, "'Do you still, visit here and do you have many Cana- dian friends?" Pete hesitated. "Well," he said, "I have some relatives." Jimmy Ward gained fame with the old Montreal Maroons on a forward line with the late Hooley Smith and Baldy North- cott. He still makes his home in but now is involved in hockey only to the extent of picking the three, stars at Buck- aroos home games. He's proud of Pete's baseball prowess, but there's a feeling that he would have been even prouder if his son had made the National Hockey League. "He's still a hockey fan," said Pete. "He and Mom saw me play ball for the first time just a couple of weeks ago. He'd never seen me even in college or the minors." One story had it that Jimmy, on seeing Pete let a ground ball bounce off his chest, said: 'He should have been a goaltender." Pete's prospects of being named Rookie of the Year aren't exactly based on his field- ing talents. White Sox officials have 'said he can make the big play but that he sometimes messes up the soft ones. At the plate, however, it's a different story. Pete will finish among the top 10 hitters. He's batting in the 290s, has reached the 20-mark for homers and is second in doubles. "But Gary Peters (a team- mate) should win the robkie ti- tle," said Ward. "His pitching has been fantastic," Despite Ward's modesty, he seems to have a decided edge over Peters at this stage. Just how good was Pete at hockey? "Well, Dad says I might have made it, But I gave it up pretty young. He organized a hockey program in the Portland high schools but by the time I got there it folded." ; Pete hastened to add, how- ever, that his older brother, Jimmy Sr., set a scoring rec- ord in 1955 at Michigan State University. Y 'And I'm still a season ticket holder for games at Portland," Pete says. "I almost saw my first NHL game last season in | | FOOTBALLER DIES BETHESDA, Md, (AP)--Sam- uel Bitting, 17-year-old footpall player, died Tuesday four days after surgery for a blood clot in the brain. He had become ill \Friday during team calisthenics but there was nothing to indi- cate @ football injury. Y S. Claims Him the playoffs but we got to De- troit an hour too late." ' When Ward first. attended the White Sox camp this year, he was pictured as a Brash young man who said: "I hit in the minors and I'll hit up here." "But I didn't say anything like that,' 'he protests. "I said that Al Lopez (manager of the White Sox) wouldn't have me up ong if he didn't think I could Pete~has proved to everyone that he can hit -- for average and with power. And though Canada has little claim on him, the records will always read that he is from Montreal, even if he does speak with t American accent. REMEMBER WHEN .. .? By THE CANADIAN PRESS A. G.

By MIKE RATHET Associated Press Sports Writer John Roseboro, nicknamed Gabby by his Los Angeles Dodger teammates because he speaks softly, rarely carries a big stick. But he wielded one at Pitts- burgh Thursday night, belting a grand slam homer and a run- scoring single to produce all the runs in a 5-3 victory over Pi- rates that maintained Dodgers' three-game grip on the Na- tional League lead.
