He didn't play q game Of base ball
until he was 18 years old and then
it was only in the spirit Of adventure
that he joined the Takoma Tigers, a
Washington amateur team. He didn't
love base ball as 9 out of 10 big leag-
uers loved it when they started. 1t
was only q novelty, best proved when
he first came to Clark Grimth's at
tention in 1929.
The Tigers we're playing double

never heard Of Powell and IT Is doubt

because q Takoma teammate whisper

How'd you like to have him sign ya?"
Jake laughed derisively, gave the
guy a raspberry, and proceeded to go
on his devil-may-care way. In the
process he hit three home runs and
and two triples in the twin-bill and
went home. Base ball? Okay If there
was nothing else to do.

Grifith wanted to talk to him. Powell
went down to see Grin and, with
nothing else In view, allowed the Old
Fox to sign him.
Jake's story, when his minor league
record is weighed, rings true. He
couldn't have wanted to play ball
badly, for when 1880 rolled around
Washington sent him from Spring
training camp to Chattanooga. The
Lookouts didn't want him and shipped
him to New Haven. The latter club
broke up and he was returned to Chat
tanooga.
In 1881 he went to training camp
with 'Nooga, but was sent to Spring.

club was impressed, so Jake found
himself In es-Barre. Next stop,
all in the same season, was Bing-
hamton.
In 1882 he set o record by staying
with YOUNGSTOWN Of thr Central
League all season, but he hadn't re-
formed, for Albany picked him up and
took him to training camp in 1888,
only to turn him loose. The Albany
manager gave Jake thumb end told

Joe Cambria, then just breaking

With DOW TO dozen otner

~ most colorful Washington
Ball Club in years. Alvin (Jake)
Powell probably still is Interesting
Character No. in this training camp.
Probably you have to hear his story
first. Those who know the real yarn
and they are very, very few-are
ready to go overheard on the former
Washington sandlotter this year. And
the fact that he is banging the ball
at a terrific clip in exhibition games
scarcely plays more than minor part.
The reason is that Jake finally likes
to play base ball.
Powell is close to 81 years old now,
a mellow figure for player who seven
years ago looked to be almost ready
for the big show. But seven years ago
he didn't like base ball. He didn't like
the game three years ago. And therein
hes the answer to the mystery Of
what Jake has been doing since 1929.
Convert to Pastime.

= Buddy Lewis were being beckoned
