in reading it born in inglewood 87 years ago son of the late william algle and phoebe ward mr algle was a former j brampton councillor he leaves ills widow formerly sarah dale four children james dale mrs t whil- lans and mrs w rodgers all of brampton and three sisters mrs constance maiilntyre montreal mrs george mckenna t worcester mass and mrs ames mason acton james algle wellknown brampton resident died suddenly on sunday in sundridge in the early years of the lfloos the village of alton was noted for a good baseball team angus crawford champion checker player and young jim algle then becoming known as a cornet soloist of exceptional ability the youth of the village looked upon jim algle as a baseball player with major league prospects the older citizens predicted a great future for him in music t and jim algle did achieve the dis tinction of playing for the greatest band leader of them all john phillip sousa true it was an audition but even to receive that concession was an impressive tribute many yearn ago ire remember asking jim algle about that momentous occasion and a word picture w visualised as we listened we saw the vast in terior of the orrtc auditorium phila delphia pennsylvania the home of john phillip souaa and his world fa mous band w saw tbe gnat com poser of martial music do distin guished witfa his flowing white hair and as jim aide rotated all details one could not help sensing the im portance of such a contact to a man then in his early twentys as a sevenyearold living in the west ward two of our principal en tertainments were watching the flames darting from the smoke stack of the pease foundry when they were pouring and listening to jim algle playing his comet at dusk we never knew a man with such a knowledge of baseball as the comet soloist of the brampton band his acquaintance with the rules were un canny many times have we seen him stride from the sidelines of the old diamond at the pair grounds and take the umpire to task for some in fringement a an active participant jim algle was in his heyday when big bill boatty ted dale and bob bab campbell were carrying the mall for the brampton entry in the peelhalton league the alton iiatlyedid a lot for ju nior hockey in brampton and there were seasons t when excelsiors would not have had agelimit representation ir jim algie had not come through possibly his best team performed in 1929 that was the year oka officials sent the local against toronto marl- boros a squad featuring exponents such as charle oonacher harvev jackson eddie convey alex levin- sky jim algle became an ardent golfer with the inception of the brampton gold club and with young jim wfco twenty years ago was a crock hardball pitcher in his own right he became known as one of the best on the local links as a flyflhing expert jim algle had few equals there were no good pools in peel county that had not been tested by the lome avenue rss- ident more than one early morning riser has been hailed and shown a sizeable catch in the opening days of the season without wishing to become repeti tious one approaches the concluding stages of this testimonial wttto the loyalty of jim algle to the brampton band uppermost in mind certainly he was the oldest adherent in contin uous membership as to his abqttr one need only to refer to the number of gold medals he won at ttie cana dian national exhibition james algle sr will be missed- and there will be the older residents of the town who will recall tturt years ago it was not unusual on a summers night to bear a cornet solo
