Santistevan, Area Recreational Director The Bingham American Legion club defeated Provo Legion club 10-- 8 in the first playoff in the eight-tea- double elimination tournament being played for the state American Legion title. Knudsen, though wild, managed to weather Provo's hard hitting and pitched good ball in the pinches. Bingham's infield play-ed rugged ball but Provo really hit in the fourth inning when they took a 4-- 3 lead. This week-en- d we play Og-den American Legion club. The Ogden team is a big hard hit-ting, good fielding club and we will have to play the best ball we have played all year to slay on top. But the boys are determined and I believe they will be tough to beat if they play up to par. The Bingham Cubs and Frog- - town ball club lost their two games in the Midvale tourna-ment this week. Sanchez though pitching good ball in spots, weak-- j ened and walked several and this proved his undoing. Sammy Ro-- : bison, Boyd Householder and Ned Miller, along with Bobby Moore and Harold Patrick, played great ball. They lost to Sandy and Mid-val- The Elva Ruth team, support-ed by Copperton Juniors, won their game at Midvale from Mid-- 1 vale 11-- Warren Sumnicht kept the hits well scattered and struck out 14 Midvale batsmen. Friday the Elva Ruth team in the semi-fina- l game lost to Mag-na 6-- 5. Warren Sumnicht lost a tough game but the Bingham boys just couldn't hit when hits meant runs. The bases were load-ed and the tieing run was thrown out at home plate. What a ball game for a bunch of midget ball players- - The Midget baseball tourna-men- t which was held in Midvale and Murray this year will be an-nual affairs in the county. A tour-nament for all baseball players over 14 years of age will be held in Magna next week. The Bingham Legion boys were happy to welcome back Kent Stillman, Wayne Ray and Victor Roblez, members of last year's champions who went to Provo to see the Legion win We would certainly like to have these boys back this year to help us out. Johnny Landenberger did a great job pinch hitting for Mer-lin Coleman in the Legion tour-nament at Murray. Johnny, though small, has a lot of forti-tude and he likes baseball. The Copperfield Pewees are still hitting the ball hard and they hope to overcome the lead 'of the Copperton Cubs and the Popeye club. Ronnie Kastelic and Gary two Midget players in the county tournament hit well and fielded in great style for the Elva Ruth team. Chris Ballamis and Edward Gaythwaite were, the receivers on the Elva Ruth team Both of these boys have the makings of good receivers. A Huck Finn day was planned for all boys and girls under 14: Bingham to be held at Butter-fe- ,n canvon but on the advice of Mr Christie the water was too law to plant fish. So we will have to give up the idea this year. B.D A.A. SOFTBALL LEAGUE STANDINGS Won Lost Pet. Merchants 8 3 727 B.

O V Sports Here and There by Al Ablett At last the rains came. Last Tuesday the American Legion team journeyed to Provo to start play in the elimination tourna-ment for the state championship and when the smoke cleared the local boys had won 10 to 8, making their 13th straight win. That my friends is quite a record, I don't care if you the school for the blind. Jack Ki.udsen was on the mound for Bingham, and the big blond boy had the only off day I've seen him have. He had fair stuff but was wild. He was opposed by Johnnie Brown, one of Provo's outstanding athletes. Our boys were away off in their fielding, I guess they missed the rocks. They play Ogden next The tournament is being run a little different this year. The elimination starts before the tour-nament proper. If Bingham should beat Ogden they will go into the tournament without a loss, while Ogden and Provo will have one defeat apiece chalked up against them. That means that if they lose a game in the tournament proper they will be eliminated, while Bingham would have to lose twice before being sent home. You see Utah has more teams playing this year than ever be-fore. Great thing this baseball for boys. Again I want to say that this community isn't back-ing our team the way it should. What say we do something about this. In the Industrial league Provo, Helper and Murray are all making determined bids for the second half. At Helper Man-ager Zaccaria has another Bingham boy playing second base. He is George Dimas of the Bingham high school team. In the game last Sunday Geo-rge looked great. Hit a couple and handled himself in the field like a veteran. They are picking an Industrial league team to oppose the Bees in a benefit game. What is your choice? Here is mine: Sid Kram-er of Midvale and Radulvich of Pinney, catchers; Owen of Brig-ha- City on first, Wilson of Pro-vo on second; Moesser, Magna short stop; Cowley of Brigham City, third base; Zaccaria and Sluga of Helper and Rod Knight of Midvale in the outfield; Erick-so- n of Magna, McConnell from Brigham City, Ford of Provo, pitchers; Roldo Call of Magna utility infielder and Anderson of Pinney extra outfielder. Now for the arguments. The Bees have strengthened for the second half. Willie Enos and Proveido for the outfield and Powell, a left hander, for the mound. Cpl. Enos is not a new comer to Salt Lake fans, having been with the team in '42. Play-ed with Frisco last couple of years. Willie can hit. Don't know anything about Powell and Pro-veido, but they come highly re-commended by baseball men. See you next week, AL. UONSCLUB Lions club met Tuesday even-ing at Bingham club for their regular dinner meeting, with W. R. Anderson, president, presid-ing. Earl T. James, secretary, replacing Robert J. Bowden, who left Bingham to accept a better position elsewhere, gave the sec-retary's report. A report on function of the membership committee was giv-en by J. Lynn Booth and a dis-cussion on cleaning of the Lions club sign in lower Bingham or the placing of a new sign was held with Mr. Booth accepting chairmanship of the committee. Mr. James, in behalf of the firemen, extended an invitation to members to attend a tax edu-cation talk by Stanley J Steph-enson, managing director of Utah Foundation, to be given at a joint meeting of No. 1 and No. 2 Fire companies August 13. Arthur L. Crawford, head of publicity and industrial develop-ment for state of Utah will be a guest speaker at the Lions club at a future date.
