Magna, Helper, Provo, American Fork, Brigham City, and! the BDAA club of Bingham will in comprise this fast semi-pr- o loop. A lot of new faces will ap-pear in the line-up- s this season, and several trades have been made during the winter. Most of the squads will not be com-plete until school is out, as a lot of regulars are now performing for the college nines. Mandel Wilson, who handled the BDAA club last year, will again take over the job of round-ing up a starting nine, until Manager Mack Peyton finishes his coaching chores at Rock Springs! Wilson has had a few boys working out, and is busy trying to form an aggregation for the opener. All aspirants are welcome to try out for the BD-AA team. If you are interested, please contact Mr. Wilson or ap-pear at the ball park any even-ing after 4:00 p.m. As usual, no positions have been allotted, and anyone capable may make the squad. So far as we know now, the roster is virtually the same as last year, except the catcher's job and perhaps an infield berth. Mickey Culleton, who did a great receiving job last season, is now in the service, and Russell Gust has moved to Nevada. George Sluga, Herb Babcock, Keith Poulsen, Vic Stuckenschneider, and Del Schick are veterans re-turning and the squad will pro-bably be formed around a nuc-leus of these men. The .managers and club direc-tors will meet at American Fork tonight to iron out this season's schedule, and approve the club rosters. Frank Zaccaria, business manager of the BDAA team, will be in attendance and it is ex-pected that manager Peyton will also be there to present his team roster. The ball clubs in the Indus-trial loop are striving to build up better teams and more in-terest in this most popular sport. We of Bingham wish to go along with them and help furnish a better brand of baseball enter-tainment. We can do it with your help. Your cooperation is need-ed to make this program success-ful, join our rank by becoming a BDAA member, and help us keep Bingham right up at the top in good baseball, as well as other fine sports activities. Get on the BDAA baseball band-wagon! SOFTBALL SLANTS It is just the right time for you softball players to start rounding up your ball teams. The BDAA league will again be in action, and will start play in just a few more weeks. Get busy you man-agers, let's be ready to go when play ball time rolls around. Sports Here and There byAlAblett Well, got in a couple of ball games at last. Utah has a pretty fair defensive club. Could use a couple of good hitters. BYU has the best club I have seen them have. A young catch- - er by the name of Crawford, good looking ball player. , Bingham high got off to a good start in league play, taking Murray 11-- 2 Monday. They play Cyprus today (Thursday). Cyp-rus lost to Tooele in 10 innings, but they have a right good pitch-er in this boy Franks. It looks like him and Cowdell today, in what should be a real game. Salt Lake came home Wed-nesday night, worked out for the public today. Kittle has a good looking club. Plenty of speed and pretty fair pitching. If a couple of the boys develop at the plate they will be rough all the way. Pancho Hernandez is back at second base and he has looked real good both in the field and at the plate. Marty King is back at first, still a good glove man. Coleman at third has improved. Triandos, the big catcher, is an-other hold over. George is a great handler of pitchers. Zar-ank- a is in the outfield; looked like he might have the makings of a ballplayer last year. This season should tell the tale. The league looks like it will be better than it has since the war. The Industrial league teams are in spring training. Wilson has had a couple of practices for the local nine, but hasn't much of a line on his team as yet. So at last they have made the match that the West has been waiting for. Layne vs Matthews. It. is to be held in Portland in May. I still say it would have drawn more in Salt Lake. Jensen tells me that Rex is really serious about this one. He is training hard. I have an in-vitation to watch him next week. So will try and give you the dope as I see it. I do say this, that if Rex is in shape, I think Hurley has made a mistake. They say Harry Matthews is 29 years old, but I am inclined to go along with the fellow from Boise, he says he is at least 36. Harry will weigh about 180 and Rex 190. Don't sound like much but try carrying it for thirty minutes. That's 10 rounds. In shape the Utah boy can hit, and everyone knows he can take a punch. It all depends on Rex's condition. If he muffs this one he just as well get himself a job. Jensen knows how I feel, so I will tell you just what I see when I watch him work. See you next week. AL FIGHTIN' BINGHAM1TES Pvt. Hamilton G. Kenner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Scipio Kenner of Bingham, last week complet-ed basic training at the Chemical Replacement Training Center, Chemical Corps Training Com-mand, at Fort MeClellan, Ala.
