    ALFRED KLAEHN

    PRESTON, Nov. 16, Alfred "Sammy" Klaehn, for many years a member of the Riverside Baseball Club here and a popular employee of the Preston Light and Water Commission, died in Hamilton General Hospital this morning, about 7;30 o'clock. He had been ill for many months and had undergone a series of major operations. Before coming to Preston 11 years ago, the late Mr. Klaehn, lived in Kitchener, where he was born and where he followed his trade as a shoe cutter and tire maker. He made his first appearance with Riverside clubs, here in 1923, when he moved here to accept a position with the Grand River Railway Company. In 1930 he joined the line staff of the Preston Light and Water Commission, with which he was employed at the time of his passing. As hockey player he had an interesting career. His first team was the Kitchener, then Berlin, Union Jacks, which reached provincial finals, with London one year. His first big baseball game, found him in the Inter-Allied League in Paris, in 1919, helping to take the championship at Kinnel park. In Kitchener he was with the Inter-County seniors and later, on coming here, with the Preston seniors. He played a peppery game at third base, for three years. He was also a popular follower of town hockey league teams and played with the Grand River Railway club. In alley bowling he was a member of the Riversides club until his health forced him to drop that activity. The remains will be brought to Preston today for interment though infinite details will not be available until tomorrow.
