What are the motives of chie Young. The Bad Man? Has he excuses for playing like he does? “I'm a hood now. man." he cxolains. “It‘s an outch for me."

That was my trouble in Detroit. Every time 1 made a mistake I figured they were going to send me to the minors. So I’d try to make up for it by getting back at the guy who'd made me look bad.

This p-nct-snuled man. now Hi. lost them all from a lifelong habit of carelessness.

‘ But Bob Granger remembers. JHe remembers running to the ‘attic every night as a boy to twatcli the sunsct over Vancou- vci‘ Island. He can still see him- «if as a travcilin'z .‘l'i-ycar-old track coach. captivated by a fleeting glimpse of the Empire .State Building framed in rain wet leaves.

And he remembers fashioning the talents of Percy mutants-— as possibly no other man could have—into a sensational double victory at the Games in Amsterdam

Canada rejoiced when its great sorinter returned from Amsterdam with the loo-metre and 200-metre gold medals. The people of Vancouver still re- membe “the day Percy came home."
