i i 3 i i ? t t : j : Play ball! “YVONNE MOEN THEY MAY not have been the Blue Jays or the Expos, but the Kiwanis Square Ladies Softball Team of 1929 welt pretty famous in their own right. The team, based in Kingston, travelled around Ontario ‘and parts of New York State, winning many tournaments, including the Fastem Ontario Championships five years in a row. One of the players on the team is familiar to many people in Terrace, .Look at the second to last lady on the right hand side. The woman in that classy uniform is Winnie Lailey. And now a litile bit about Winnie, Her full name is Win- nifred Tozer (nee Lailey), though she is known to friends and family as Winnie. Winnie arrived in Terrace from Kingston, Ontario in 1967, She moved here to be close to her two daughters, - Elaine Osborne and Brenda Lachance, who are still resi- dents of Terrace. Winnie also has a son, Stan, who lives in Ontario. Winnie was born in Kingston, Ontario in 1913, When she was 14 Winnie played softball for the Kiwanis Club. She joined the Kiwanis Square Ladies Softball Team in 1927 and played till 1932. Her position was 3rd Baséman (or basewoman, we might say today), Winnie also enjoyed watching baseball on TV; she was good at calling the plays. As she got older, Winnie took up bowling, playing in weekly leagues and also on the senior league, representing Terrace in many tournaments. Her daughter Elaine says she always tried to encourage young people to get involved with all types of sports, es- pecially the two sports she loved the most. Winnie’s four grandchildren live in Terrace and Kitimat, and have been involved with bowling over the years. One of those four grandchildren also plays slowpitch in Ter- race. ] guess he can say he’s following in his grand. mother’s footsteps, There are only two women Ieft alive from the 1929 Kiwanis ladies softball team. One of these ladies had con- tacted Winnie's son — Stan Tozer in Ontario — and asked him if he would be interested in having this picture, In retum he forwarded a copy of the picture to. Winnie’ 5 daughter Elaine in Terrace. Winnie had a copy of this picture, but over thé years it had become torn and mutilated, with only a Sinall portion left for her three children to see. + So naturilly's wiien her two dau ghte teceived th ‘wil Scary sata pieaie they ‘were quite excited such g 200d condition, Winnie passed away ‘on Aug. 11, 1990 in Mills Memoria Hospital. She is sadly missed by family and friends. How- ever, now they have this wonderful picture to remember her by, as well as her stories and excellent tips about bowl- ing and sofiball. Both of the women who are still alive fiom that 1929 team, live in the Kingston, Ontario area. They are probably 79-81 years old now. And now I would like to wish everyone near and far a very Merry Christmas and God Bless in the new year. And if you live far away and feel like dropping me a nole, just address it care of the Terrace Standard, | . One more note. A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Harvey Doll on Dec, 21.
