...departure. But when he got to Madras, he found the humours of the place unhealthy and climbed back aboard the same boat that had brought him. In London again, he misbehaved as before, and was packed off again, this time to Jamaica. But there were no openings in the Jamaican bar. William returned to Blasted Bet and Silver Tail...
Despite the score, the many cold weather fans were not disappointed. In the absence of Ohiri, who had to be satisfied with signing autographs from the bench, Billy Ward was the center of attraction. The versatile Jamaican thrilled the crowd as he outmaneuvered the Tigers with expert ball control and accurate passes...
...more sharply caught than Jamaican Premier Norman Manley, 68, who had staked his reputation on federation. He underestimated the strength of his old foe, Sir Alexander Bustamante, leader of Jamaica's Labor Party, which sees federation as a hindrance rather than a help to Jamaican aspirations.

In 1959 he entered Bakersfield (Calif.) College, and cut his running times to a creditable 9.4 sec. in the 100, 20.6 in the 220.
