1909, a group of three Eastern League owners attempted to oust Powers as league president, believing that he had not been impartial in his decision making and had made poor decisions when hiring umpires. Powers was reelected after neither his opposition's candidates - James R. Price and Ed Barrow, gained enough votes to take the presidency. In 1910, Barrow was elected president with 5 votes to Powers 3. Powers died at the age of 65 in Belmar, New Jersey.
