Glade, Salt Lake City's popular mayor, has entered -- Utah's gubernatorial race on the Democratic ticket. Mayor Glade, former national vice president of Young Demo-crats of America, announced his candidacy Sunday in Salt 'Lake City. He pledged a return of dig-nity to the state's highest office and criticized severely "the con-stant bickering and brawling which has marked the present governor's term." Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Well they are' off and running in the big leagues. The weather held up a couple of the teams, and it is cold in the east. So I guess it is this way all over. The teams at least in the first couple' of eames are lust about like the experts picked them. Cleveland is getting that real good pitching and not much hit-ting. The White Sox is showing plenty of speed. But you can't steal first base. Eddie Stanky looks as though he has a pretty solid club. Eddie has them hustl-ing. Remember three years ago I told you about a boy I saw play a high school game in Long Beach, Calif., named Eddie Mahews. Well Eddie is the re-gular third baseman for Boston Braves. I see the Giants signed Dick Wakefield. Dick is the boy that Riggs of Detroit gave $52,000 and a special built car. For' a couple of years he looked like the price was cheap, because he did ev-erything right. Something went wrong with the boy and he fell by the wayside. Just had too much money to hustle. Detroit traded him to the Yankees, they in turn sent him to the White Sox, but the Sox wouldn't meet his salary demands and they sent him to Oakland. Too high priced foT"the Oak's for the kind of ball he was playing, so they turned him loose. He tried a couple of big league teams but no go. But since Durocher lost Irwin and Mays going in the army they gave Dick a trial. He hit the ball hard in pinch hitting rolls so the Giants gave him a contract. Now I predict that if the boy has found himself mentally he will be the big man the Giants are looking for. He has everything that goes into the making of a star, 6 ft. 4 in., 200 pounds, fast a foot and a great arm. He show-ed he could hit and has great power. Leo is the man if there is one to bring this fellow to the heights that baseball men say he belongs. It looks like it is going to take better than a green hand to handle "Sugar" Ray Robinson. What a fighter this fellow is. Who in sight has a chance. Pad-dy Young, Gil Turner, Paddy DeMarco, they all look like Ned in the first reader along side of this great fighting machine. Wed nesday night Rocky Graziano never had a chance. The "Sugar" man led him into the openings he wanted then blasted him rt. Only one man I see that will beat him. The old man with the scythe, his name old age. But I think Robinson is too smart for that, and unlike Joe' Louis, he doesn't owe any back taxes. Again comes the time for the climax to the bowling season in Utah. The great Ritz Classic. This gTeat tournament was start-ed by Curtis Butts, the father of big time bowling in our state. After Butts met his death in an untimely auto accident, the reins were taken up by Doug Muir, and under Doug the Ritz Clas-sic became a must on the calen-dar of every good bowler in the west. Now Doug has his own alleys, the Pal-D-M- and he is staging a $500 sweeper in con-junction with the Classic. Johnny Keysor is in charge of the Ritz and John has proved a worthy successor to the two men who have gone before him. This year will be one of the biggest in the history for this great event Last year's winner was Stan Gifford, a Boise, Idaho boy, who at present is operating out of Portland, Ore. Stan will be back along with Harolcf As-plun- d, Doc Mason, Bill Ward, Max Gardens and Bill Fletch, all previous winners. So if you like bowling don't miss these two classics. A number of local stars will be in there pitching. See you next week.

UAA FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp Baseball Practice Monday First scheduled practice ses-sion of the BDAA baseball team is slated for Monday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. at the Copperton stadium. Acting manager "Ug" Wilson has asked for tryouts by anyone interested in making this years squad, and has slated a steady series of workouts to make up for the late spring start.

Anyone desir-ing the chance to play with this club should be at the practice Monday and contact Wilson. The first league game is sche-duled for Sunday, May 11.

Round Robin Finals The local ten-pi- n enthusiasts finished out the 1951-5- 2 kegling season in a rip-roari- fashion at the Gemmell lanes, as they wound up play in the popular Round Robin tourney. High gam-es were a dime a dozen as five of the twenty bowlers averaged over 200 for the 16 games. Play for the championship and the beautiful Princess theatre trophy developed into a hot and heavy duel between Dan Delaney and your lucky columnist. After 15 games, these two were neck and neck and the final gun found old lucky Abplanalp the winner by only 24 sticks, with a 3447 total. Next in line were Delaney with 3423, Al Ablett 3327, G. Sluga 3265, F. Zaccaria 3256, P. Slotte 3242, for the money win-ners in this 16-ga- grind. De-laney had high handicap series of 934 for four games and Pep Borich turned in the high single game of 280. This tourney broke all existing records for big gam-es and all around top scoring. Thanks to the Princess theatre for the fine trophy that keeps this annual tourney at peak in-terest. It's an honor to win it.
