JONES Canadian Press Staff Writer Edmonton, Aug. 31-(OP)--You probably never heard of W, J. (Bill) Power unless you're a sport-minded oldster of more than three decades who can recall the football rollick. ings of the mighty Ottawa Rough lacrosse championship" the Ottawa Riders of the 1800s, and the "world Capitals won in that dim past. Bill 4s an Irishman from County Antrim who came to Canada in 1885 and became a newspaper printer at Ottawa, got married and went west. He produced a couple of hockey-playing sons who cut quite an ice caper in their day too, but it was all so long' ago. The sons now are middle-aged and W, J. is closing on 76, Back somewhere in the musty re~ cords of Canadian sport you'll find Bill starred at "inside home" for the Ottawa Capitals when they won the world lacrosse title in 1803, long before the days of the Lally Cup. Big and strapping in those days, he was also a hard-to-catch flying wing for Ottawa Rough Riders for & number of years when they won the championship, He can confess too to being "a bit of a boxer, track man and played a bit of hockey in my day." There's been a lot of football changes since then, Bill observes . 'The game wam't how Rotgh Ruders wed 10 go ow s go "ranging" the Ottawa district, play. ing teams at Arnprior, Smiths Falls, Perth and Carleton Place looking for competition to keep in shape, Injury Ended Career A football injury that caused a floating cartilage ended Bill's foot ball career and in 1000 he married an Ottawa girl and came west to Edmonton, It was years later that his sons, Bill and Albert found their hockey legs. Young Bill was about ready to sign an NHL, contract when he lost his foot in a railway accident. His only Roskey activity after that was coaching the Edmonton Maple Leafs when they were champione calibre, Young Bill toured Europe with the Edmonton Superiors hockey club a number of years ago--old Bill can't remember just when. W. J. got his first printer's job on the Ottawa Bun when he left school and later worked in the composing room of the Ottawa Oitizen, On coming to Edmonton he joined the composing room staff of the Bulle tin but he's going to 'retire oa pene sion one of these days."

It was a game in which the Bea- vers kept coming from behind and tying it up only to lose that tle in the last half of the inning when the Fittings came back to take the lead, The game was marked by the heavy hitting of both teams and in this manner three home runs were scored, two for the Fittings and one for the Beavers, McGee had three strikeouts and this helped his team a little but not really enough to make any differ ence as the Fittings kept slapping out those extra base hits that mean runs, Fitiings started off in the first inning by tallying three runs, the Beavers came back in the top of the second with two but this wasn't enough and the Fittings scored an- other in the last of that frame to take a big lead, The game was tied up 6-6 in the first of the fifth but again the Fittings boys went ahead An & singie'vun in the last of that ning. Brooks hit a homer for the Pit. tings in the bottom of the seventh that drove in two runs besides him- self and made the score read 12-8 as the game went through a score less eighth inning, The Beavers tried hard in thelr half of the ninth but they only suc- ceegled in getting one run to the plate in the person of Snowden who got on base through a triple. The next three men were made put-outs but Snowden came home on a long fly by Guscott.. That made the final score 13.0 for the Fittings, Arnold and Brooks were the big men for the Fittings with their home runs, Burrows had a homer for the Beavers and Snowden came through with a .,1000 batting aver age in the game with three singles, a double and a triple to his credit.

Bad Start--Homers Play Prominent Part in Games Scoring -- Legionnaires Score 10 Runs On Only 6 Hits == Mayfairs Com" 'mit Some Very Costly Bobbles--Graham Clapp Is Winning Pitcher Legionnaires got off on the right foot as their semi-final Inter. "A" League series got under way at Alexandra Park last night, by take ing a 10-5 decision over Mayfair Lanes, Some untimely errors and walks plus a lot of extra-base clouting, was the story of last night's playoff tussle. Legionnaires got off to a flying start with a 4-run rally on only two hits, in the first inning. Mayfairs did tie up the game on a 2-run homer by Arn, Greene but after that, Al, McKee weakened on the mound and finally "Ab" Barnes broke up the game in the 9th with a mammoth homer, scoring Mac- Inally and Weatherup again of himself, after these two had both drawn walks, after there were two out, Disastrous Beginning McKee walked MacInally to start the game and then Weatherup laid a perfect bunt and beat it out for & hit. Barnes struck out and then MoMullen bunted but Kewin field- ed the ball and then hit McMullen on the leg with the ball, while making a desperate throw to 1st in an attempt to throw out the batter, Both MacInally and Weatherup scored on this error and McMullen went to 2nd. Willlams struck out and then "Buck" Davies slashed a hard drive to centre, that took a. dirty bounce at the edge of the grass, over McLaughlin's head and the hard-hit ball went for a homer, making it 4-0 for the first inning. Mayfairs got one back in their half when Greene walked with one out, advanced on a wild pitch and scored when Wes, Keeler doubled down the right-field line. Both teams settled down after this, McKee only issued six hits all-told but he was nicked for a lot of unearned runs, on walks is- sued by himself and errors by his team-mates, Mayfair Lanes grabbed off two runs in the 5th when Wekin sin- gled with one out, a tight infield hit that he barely beat out. McKee | Pl fanned and then with two out, Ture ner lifted a hard one to left-field and Willams dropped it after get- ting his hands to it ,on the run, A fumbled catch by Barnes on Greene's bid followed, to score Tur. ner, making it 4-3, Unassisted Double-Play In the 6th Bathe was safe on an error by Weatherup and advanced on a hit by Walker, McLaughlin grounded to Wilson close to the plate and Wilson tagged Mec- Laughlin out and then tagged Bathe as he tried to come home, for an unassisted twin-killing, Legion got one in the 7th when Barnes walked, advanced on a sac- rifice by McMullen and scored when Davies singled with one out. Mayfair Lanes tied the score in thelr last half of the 7th, Kewin opened with a walk and then with McKee and Turner each striking out as Clapp bore down, Am, Greene hit a high one to short left and Willams tried to make a rune ning catch, missed the ball and it went past him, to let Greene make the complete circuit and tie the score at 5-5. Barnes' Homer Does It The score didn't remain tied long. With two out in the 8th, McKee hit a wild streak, He had been slipping in the 7th and the 8th saw him really skid, With two out, 'he walked MacInally and Weatherup in' succession, then Ab" Barnes took a "groove" piteh and smacked it for a homer to left centre, breaking the tie and making the score 8-5, In the 9th, Legionnaires got two more runs, this time without even one hit, Willams opened with a walk and advanced twice on passed balls and - then scored, Davies flied out, then Normoyle walked, Wilson banged one out to centre, where Fair took it for an easy catch, He then threw to 8rd, since the throw to the plate was hope- less, but nobody was at the base to take the throw, neither Kewin or Keeler and the ball went into the crowd permitting Normoyle to also score. In the 9th inning Clapp made sure of his playoff victory by fane ONNAIRES BEAT MAYFAIR THE TIMES-GAZETTE Thursday, August 1, 1046 ning three hatters in succession, pinch-hitter Monaghan, Turner and Greene, to end the game. Clapp fully deserved his win, He gave up only 5 hits for as many runs and he struck out nine batters, six of them in the last three frames. While C pitched his best ball at the finish, McKee was opposite. He went well after a disastrous 1st inning that wasn't his fault, for about five frames but he faded badly towards the finish of the game, with wildness and groove tches, : "Buck" Davies with a homer and single, paced Legionnaires in their win, Alex. Walker had two of May- fairs' five safe hits. Best catch in the outfield was one by McLaughlih to rob Davies of hig third hit, while Johnny Bathe speared Clapp's liner to close out the 1st half of the 0th, with a leaping one-handed grab. R. H E.
