ball began at an early age, four years
in fact, when he donned inc first
baseball suit. It was only natural
for Bill to follow in his father's foot-
steps, who was keenly and actively,
interested in baseball and other
sports and who still follows with in-
terest the activities of the local clubs.
The Iocal Juvenile Baseball club,
while Bill was a member, won the
Maitand League Championship in
1938; and the Huron and Perth cham-
pionship in 1940.
The Lions Juvenile Hockey Team
were Ontario- Group Finalist's in 1938-
39; finalists in 1940, losing out to
Midland and in 1941, Ontario champ-
ions, winning the Lionel Comelier
Trophy, by defeating Regio Polis
College, Kingston,. In connection
with that famous juvenile team of
1941, we would like to point •out the
number of these younsters who are
in uniform or waiting for their call,
Rolfe Monteith, Bill (Blondie) Cook,
Doug. McKenzie and Bill Counter, It
is understood that Bill (Izzy) Powell
and Harry McEwan are waiting their
callto service. A. large number of
the members, of the Juveniles who
played with them .previous to 1941
are already serving in the Army and
R.C.A.F.
Always modest and unassuming in
everything, he did, Bill is a typical
young Canadian, who is now serving,
his King and Country. Popular with.
his fellow players and with those who
watched. '
We extend many wishes of future
success in the bigger and more ser-
ious. game now in progress; Clinton
is proud to have one of its sons a
member of the %mew of the corvette
Goderich, namedin honour• of the
