James H W. Power. familiarly known as Jimmy’ Power. for fifty eight years connected with jour- nalism. mostly as a sports writer. ill his time he has caught the glamour of the great in almost ev- ery line of athletic endeavor. In other words he has ccnsorted with the ‘Kzngs of Sport" and ln doing so has 10st none oi his urbanlty or aentlemanllness.

Personally I

have known him lines the time when as a young man I ventured _forth as the first unatcur .rom this province to seek honors abroad. I was successful in winning the one mile run at the Wanderers sports. and "Jimmy" warmly congratulated me and gave me a nice write-up in the Acadlan Recorder. Later on when our tlilf-iilflhts turned to harness racing, 'Jimmy" was still to the fore, tel- ing the story of our achievements Rood- or bad and always in a nice friendly way. As a harness horse writer he was in a class by himself, nd his annual statistics of the ltime turf were complete to the last detail and republished in all he turf Journals oi‘ America. It is to be hoped that he will find time to continue them even though he has decided to retire from the larg- er sphere of activity.

They are Johnny BhephardJtus- sell Doyle and Dolph Williams, boys who have been training faith- fully for the past two months and who are determined to make a fine showing in today's race. The first two are no strangers to the course, having competed on several occasions and made good showings. For Williams, the youngest of the lot it will be his first attempt, but like his mates he will make a game effort to finish far up on the list.

The juvenile baseball league got underway last night at the Park dlagnond and for an opener the kids displayed a fine inner rim/v:- ledge of the game. There was plenty of hustle, errors were scarce and the way some of the players wielded the willow was pleasing to see.

There is plenty of interest being evidenced in the games and before the season ls much older good crowds should attend. Another thing the different managers are taking a real interest in their charges and the way the players listen and eat up the advice given bodes well for the outcome.

Yankee teammates are still giv- ing Joe DiMaggio the cold shoulder but "Guiscppe" still goes on clout- lng homers and in general playing his usual starry role. How long this treatment will keep up from his fellow teammates ls hard to say but so far it is taking very llt- tle impression on the young San Francisco Italian. He is still the star he was in his first year and Dtobably a great deal of the back- bone of the great Yankee machine.

Thirteen years ago the late Mil- ler Huggins, the most underrated but one of the greatest managers in baseball startled the diamond world by benching Wally Pipp and substituting a clumsy youngster named Lou Gehrig in his place at first base.

In 1932 he was beaned by Earl Whitehill, but he was at his post next day. In 1000 Ray White of Norfolk penned him again. He went to the hospital and the relport went round that he was dead.

B! SCOTTY BESTON Associated Press Sports Writer BT. ANDREWS, Swtland. June 8 —Great Britain's Walker Cup golf- 01's solved the secret of the light- ping-fast greens of old &.Anclraws with greater consistency today than their United States rivals.

As a. result. the end of the open- ing day's Scotch foursomes match- es found Britain leading the tro- phy defenders, 2 matches to l, and looking forward with fresh confi- dence to its first victory in the in- ternational series.

The all-Scottish combination of Hector Thomson and Gordon Pet- ers. used to the tricky greens and the alternate-stroke Scotch four- some technique. turned back U. S. amateur champion Johnny Good- man and Marvin Ward. 4 and 2, and the all England duo of Leon- ard Crawley and Frank Pennink triumphed at 2 and 1 over Fred Hgas, Jr.. and Reynolds Smith. Close Match Of the four United States com- binations. only British amateur champion Charley Yates and Ray Billows came through. They had to hang on for dear life to beat Charles Stowe and Alex Kyle, 3 and 2, after being seven up with nine to go and then dormie six. In the other match Jim Bruen. 18-year-old Irish sensation, and Harry Bentley. Scottish veteran, finished all square at the end of 36 holes with the U.S. No. 1 pair of Johnny Fischer and Charles Koc- sjs, after the Americans had been three up at 18 holes and two up

Sporting Action

The rules of golf decree that. in such a case. the hole automatically shall be awardedto the other icam. But Bentley and Brueri refused to accept- the penalty: Harold w. Pierce of Boston, vice-president of the United States Golf Association, acting as referee, did not call it. and the match continued to a fin- ish that left many among the gal- lery dissatisfied.

These critics stated Pierce should have immediately enforced the Density since he had seen the in- fraction committed. To that Pierce replied that. in his opinion. Bent- ley should have claimed the hole befere play began on the next one. But there was no complaint from the British team and the Duke of Kent. who was in the gallery, was heard to say “Hear, hear," when Bentley and Bruen waived the right to the hole which was halved

urs.

Yates and Bruen will lead 011' the singles tomorrow at 9.30 am. (5.30 a.m. ADT). Behind them, at 10- minutc intervals, will come Good- man vs. ‘Thomson. Fischer vs. Crawley, Kocsls vs. Stowe, Ward vs. Pennink, Billows vs. Cecil Ew- ing. Smith vs. Peters and Haas vs. Kyle. The singles. like today's matches, will all be at 36 holes.

Nash's Win From C.C's In Opener

The Nash's opened the juvenile baseball league last night with a. well-earned l0-4 victory over the C. 03s in a game that produced some fine baseball. The winners. carrying more power in their bats than their opponents, scored half their runs before the game was four innings old and were never threa ened by the C. C.'s. _Mc ormick was the

hprler while Gallant threw them in for the 1

osers.

Freddie McCabe handled the game behind the plate while Charlie Ryan performed on the bases.
