Bad luck plagues

Skeena

The Skeena Cedar Kings
Senior B team left Terrace
on July 8 for the Fastball
Tournament in Barrier,
ready to meet anything the

position could throw at
them. However, their
troubles started when they.
were only about one mile
outside of Terrace. The bus
in which they ” were
travelling deve ped a
sudden case of flat tire and
they had to return to wait for
a spare to arrive from
Kitimat, This put them two
hours off schedule, Once on
their way again, everything
went smoothly until the
drive shaft on the bus ex-
‘ploded 100 miles west of
Prince George. The team
sat idle for five full hours
“while another bus came out
from Prince George to take
them in, .

The firat game was
scheduled for 3 p.m. on
Friday afternoon. The Kings
arrived at 2:55, ran off the
bus, onto the field and
played ball. They lost a
close game to the Barrier

team 2-1, in which Danby
Page pitched and Mike
Woods smashed a home run,
At 2 on Saturday, Art
Frenette and George Kuich
pitehed against Savona and
the Kings won the game 7-0.
On Sunday the Kings were
set against Barrier, . the
team that defeated them in
the first match. With Danby
Page again pitching, the
Kings came back to ‘beat
Barrier 3-2. Later that day
they went out against the
Prince ‘George Navy En-
signs and got off to an early
20 lead. Art Frenette and
George Kuich were on the
pitcher’s mound. Errors
turned the game around in
the next inning. Prince
George scored three runs
and didn’t look back, finally
winning the game with a
score of 6-4 at the end.
Prince George went on to
win the .tournament and
came away with the $600 in
first place prize money. The
Cedar’ Kings made it back
home without any further
incidents. oo

- During the 1950’s, many
British Columbians ob-
served how quickly steam
power was vanishing from
their provinee. Most people
simply accepted its passing
as a price for progress,
though some attempted to
preserve examples of
machinery for posterity.’
Because they did so, several
live steam operations exist
today, including the “Royal
Hudson" excursion train,
recently restored for use on
the B.C. Railway.

The success of the
“Hudson"’ coupled with both
the availability of other
historic rolling stock and the
Provincial Museum’s desire
to expand its travelling
exhibit program gave rise to
the Museum Train project.

The aims of the Museum
Train are:

1) To. give citizens
throughout B.C. a better
opportunity to view and
study the Museum’s
collections. .

2) To measurably | in-
crease the , historical
knowledge of the province's

. natural and human history.

3) To encourage : and
strengthen community
museums by enlisting their
‘assistance in § major
travelling exhibits,

The “star” of the Museum’
Train is the steam
locomotive, CPR 3716, a
freight engine builtin 1912 at

ranging in age from six to
fourteen. They joined up
with four more in Prince
Rupert and travelled from
there to Ketchikan Friday
afternoon. That night the
first-half of the swim meet
was held and continued the

Sunday, the 12th, was
spent in sightseeing around

etchikan. Monday mor-
ning was also free, but the

before noon the next day and
ent the rest of the day in
neat warming up in the

pool — more practice the
next day, with the swim
