Saskatoon's Jim Garrett took a flying leap! Bill Heath, the Edmonton catcher, tagged Garrett in mid-flight to keep the Commodore catcher from scoring. (Edmonton Journal, August 7, 1959)
 

WHEN THE AIR TURNED BLUE was the caption on the photo.  Saskatoon manager Roy Taylor has his say with umpire Lefty Mack protesting a called third strike.  (Edmonton Journal, August 7, 1959)
   

Believe it or not -- it was against the law charge for movies or sporting events on Sunday.  Thus, a collection plate.  Members of the Saskatoon Commodores had to appear in court on charges of violating the Lord's Day Act.

Edmonton's John Werhas "came barrelling around the base paths like a runaway express" . Werhas had stolen second and come home to score ahead of the recovery of the catcher's errant throw into centre field. (Edmonton Journal, August 7, 1959)
