Midget Bali Team
' Honoured$y Lions
A real interest in the prospects.
of Bob Carrick,' star left-handed
pitcher of the team, was expres-
sed by Frank Colman, London,
who was chief speaker at Clin-
ton Lions Club banquet in St.
Paul's Parish Hell Tuesday even-
ing, honouring Lions Midgets,
WOAA champions and OBA ,finel-
ists.
Mr. Colman is a coach and,
player with Toronto Maple Leafs
this year, and is 'a former. "big
league" star with Pittsburg Pir-
ates and New York Yankees. He
had a long chat with Carrick,
end promised that, if at all pos-
sible, the local youngster would
be looked over by the Leafs,
whose new owner, Jack Kent
Cooke, is set on getting a Canad-
ian ball team together if he can.
In the early part of the gath-
ering, the Lions carried out their
own part of the programme when
John S. Parker, proprietor of
Par -Knit Hosiery Limited, was
initiated, with Frank Fingland,
K.C. officiating, assisted by R.
Y. Hattin, Membership chairman,
and President Lorne Brown, who
was in the chair.
Presentations Made
Manager Russ Holmes of the
, Midget ball team was introduced,
and he in turn introduced the
two coaches—Stewart Taylor and
Leslie Henderson—and the mem-
bers of -the team.
The Ellwood Epps- Trophy,
emplematic of the WOAA Grand
Championship—or rather a sub-
stitute for it—was presented to
the captain, Bob Carrick, by
George Campbell of the Ellwood
Epps organization, The real
trophy,has been lost temporarily
et Listowel.
M. L. "Tory" Gregg, businses
manager of the WOAA, made the
presentation of crests to the boys
in behalf of his Association.
President Lorne Brown made a
token presentation ;of lovely
leather jaokets to the manager,
coaches and members of the ball
team.
In behalf of the team, Man-
ager Holmes and Coach Stewart
Taylor replied suitably.
Frank Colman
When he arose to introduce
the main speaker, Hugh R, Haw-
kins was congratulated by Presi-
dent'Brown, in behalf of the
Lions Club, on his elevation to
the` presidency of the WOAA lest
week. -
-Frank Colman told a number
of incidents and stories connect-
ed with his baseball" career. He
stressed the value of team play
in developing character, and in
helping one another.
"I like the boy whose ability
is not on a par with moat, .but
makes up for it with hustle,"
Mr. Colman said. He sited the
case of Eddie Stanky,, New York
Giant second baseman, who was
not up , to par. Branch Rickey
had said that he couldh't hit, he
couldn't run, and he couldn't
field, but he could always beat
you.
The speaker told two or three
stories concerning Yogi Berra,
New York Yankee catcher, with
whom he roomed.
"My sincerest congratulations
on almost having won the On-
tario championship," Mr. Colman
declared. "I hope to work with
some of you boys. Canadian
boys are going to get the same
chance as American boys in sec-
uring professional coaching and e
chance to make the major leag-
ues," he said. He thought more
and more Canadian boys should
make a career of baseball'. •
C. W. Draper made the pre-
sentation of a Ronson lighter to
the speaker in behalf of the Lions
