The writer of the let-ter fails td give his or her name but claims to be in prison serv-ing a bankruptcy sentence. Fur-ther the writer claims to have $375,000 hidden in a secret com-partment of a trunk deposited at a U. S. customhouse. The letter continues: "As soon as I send you undeniable evidence, it is necessary for you to come here and pay the expenses incurred in connection with my process. After aiding the writer to get the trunk out embargo the addressee is to receive a third of the mon-ey for his troubles. The prisoner even explains his ability to send the letter by saying he is hr charge of the prison school. The name and address of a friend is given to receive all communica-tions. Any person who receives a letter of this type is urged to send it to the post office inspec-tor or give it to their local post-master.

BM.A. FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp Thoughts of Spring Sentiments of the gala spring season may seem a bit premature, what with recurring snow flur-ries and recent blizzards, but our sports calendars remind us that old man winter is bowing out. Basketball season is on the home stretch. Winter sports are fading everywhere but in the high spots, as Old Sol beckons a wee bit stronger each day for the dry earth fans. The BDAA has already turned its thoughts toward another fine spring and summer season of sports and entertainment. To keep this program rolling, the association asks its members to present any new or worthwhile activity that may benefit our locality. A thought that is never too early; why can't Bingham have a representative in the Amateur Baseball league? ALLEY ANGLES Several local keglers collected a few shekels in the Mock Ritz tourney last week end with Geo-rge Sluga placing tenth in a field of several hundred, to lead the Bingham entries. Next week, league play will be suspended while the ten-pi- n enthusiasts fire for laurels in the annual state tournament. Five man teams, doubles, combinations and single entries will commence competi-tion Saturday, March 13, and will continue till Sunday, March 21. The BDAA Travellers, in the Salt Lake Majors, advanced a couple of notches with three wins over Dewey's Circus Bar, despite Henry Richardson's 664 series for the losers. Six weeks play re-mains in this league, and the locals can be near the top if their determined drive continues. Bingham's keglers, in the South side Classic league, at Sugar-hous- e struck a temporary snag this week and dropped a 3 to 1 decision to Bill Ward's Comet Inn five. Despite a 2849 series, that saw G. Sluga and George Abplanalp garner a pair of 600's, the local five lost their first ser-ies in second half play. With only four games left to play, the Bing-ham crew need only one win to assure a tie for the trophy, as they still hold a comfortable three game lead. Second place Scott Investment kept in the race with three wins over Wally's Flowers as the torrid race goes into the final nights play before a champion will be decided. BDAA BASKETBALL TOOELE REPEATS Tooele put a clincher on the BDAA cas-ab- a crown race this week with a 32-2- 5 win over a stubborn Standard Garage five. J. Poulus and Cerroni with 12 points each led the Tooele crew to their sec-ond straight championship. The boys from across the hill have displayed some fine team play, good ball handling and a tre-mendous scoring punch when they were pressed. J. Poulus vir-tually assured himself of high scoring honors as he ran his to-tal to 129 for the nine games, 21 ahead of his nearest rival, Lo-pez. A. Pino, with 22 points, led the Midvale quint to a 47-3- 3 win over the Shamrocks. B. Goris and R. Pino kept the Irish in the game nearly all the way, but the Pure Food boys were just, a bit too much for them. Big Tom Car- - rigan garnered 13 with several overhead sensations. Roblez with eight, also played a fine game for the losers. The opener between Bingham Miners and Bingham Redskins turned out a quite even tussle, as the Braves kept after their initial win, only to fade to the strong Miners 28-2- 3. J. Kallen and Muhar dunked nine and eight for the Miners as the Reds distributed scoring honors. Next Week's Schedule Monday, March 156:30, Sham rocks vs Standard Garage; 7:30, Bingham Redskins vs Midvale; 8:30, Bingham Miners vs Tooele.

Sports Mere and There by Al Ablett This week end finds Utah's biggest sporting event in full swing, namely the Class A and B state high school basketball tour-naments. The Class B tourna-ment is being held in the uni-versity field house and the A meet in Ogden high school gym at Ogden. The B tournament is a free for all scramble with three or four teams having an equal chance to cop the flag. Weber is the outstanding team among the larger schools, with West of Salt Lake City slated to battle it out with them for the championship. Monroe, Gunnison, Spanish Fork and Murray from our own Jor-dan division looked like the class in the opening round. The way I see it Murray will be the team to beat. It is Coach Cleo Petty's first tournament, and if he wins, all I can say is "it couldn't hap-pen to a nicer guy. I may be wrong (have been before) but it seems as though the tournament has lost some of its glamor since the division split into A and B. Of course it is the only fair way, but it seems as though theB schools used to win their share. Now the argument goes on as to which is the bet-ter team. So wait until next year is the cry going up in Bingham. From Florida to the sunny shores of California the crack of the bat and the thud of the ball in gloves can be heard, as an-other big league season gets ready to swing into action. Their are rookie sensations in every camp as the seasoned campaign-ers take their time getting in shape, but in another two weeks the folks at home will be getting letters from their hopefuls say-ing it won't be long now Mom, they have started curving them. Last year we had Cliff Hartung as the young "Babe" Ruth and Walter Johnson combined. Cliff couldn't make it in the Giants outfield but he did have success as a pitcher, and good things are expected of him this year. In camp this year the Philadelphia Athletics have a young left hand-e- r by the name of Norman Bus-si- e that has what it takes to be a star. Connie Mack says he will be another Grove, that of course, remains to be seen, but the boy does have courage. He was wounded in the war, and has had 23 operations on his left leg, and today he wears a cast on it to protect it from being hit by batt-ed balls. He said he would come back and he did, more power to him. Hope he wins 30 games. Utah's hopefuls have all de-parted for their respective camps. Will try and keep you posted on their success or failure. Don't forget the Princess Theatre Round Robin bowling tournament. See you next Fri-day.
