Show v Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Fall is in the air and baseball season is on the wane-In wane-In the Industrial league it looks , like Brigham City is trying to, win both halfs, but they are getting get-ting an argument from Murray. Provo is still in the race and from the way they pulled the game J out of the fire Wednesday against Magna convinced me they are going to be hard to stop. Magna was leading 5 to 2 going into the ninth, but when the smoke cleared clear-ed away Provo had scored 4 runs, winning 6 to 5. They play two more game against Brigham, these two will tell the tale. In the Pioneer it looks like Salt Lake for the second half. I think they can take Twin Falls in the series. Joe Orengo has done a great job with the Bees. While the sports writers were singing the praises of the other managers in the league and panning pan-ning the Bees for not having a ball club, all Joe was doing with the so-called miss-fit Bees was to tie Twin Falls for the first half pennant. Yes, they lost the play off, but a game that was 3 to 2 and a dog fight all the way-In way-In the Big League it is Boston in the American, going away. They have everything, pitching, power and speed. Yes I said speed. This is the thing that has been overlooked in this club. With Williams, York, Doerr,. Pesky Pes-ky and Dominick, DiMaggio to supply the power and Harris Huston Hu-ston and Dobson as pitchers you don't hear much about speed. But this club can really get around. Pesky, Doerr, Dominick, DiMaggio DiMag-gio and now Wally Moses can burn those base paths. They have the best second base combination combina-tion in baseball. Pesky at short and Bobby Doerr at second? this pair can hit 'em, go get'em and slide both ways- In the National I like the St. Louis Cardinals, but the beloved bums from Brooklyn will make a fight off it right down to the wire. I think the Cards have too much pitching for the Brooks. Another thing in favor of the do rocker clan is that they have ! a long home stand in September j and boy are they tough at home. I 1 said I like the Cards, but don't ; sell "hppy" short. See you next week, AL |
