I picked LaStarza and watching the fight on TV I scored it very close. Had Layne been more cautious in the 10th round it may have madu a difference. His handlers said they thought he had it won. That be-ing the case they surely should have sent him out in the last round to be careful. But Rex in the last round threw four or five wild right hands that left him open lor LaStarza's left hooks and the New York boy took ad-vantage of it. Now they tell us that there is a return match with Charles on the fire. I don't think this would be a very smart fight for Rex. Of course for Charles it would be a good match, be-cause a decision win over Layne would force the powers that be to put the high on the list. But should Layne lose and I am sure that this wouldn't happen, he would be lost in the shuffle. Plenty of fighters around for Rex without Charles, or a j coupie oi wins rigni now wouia jSure get him a shot at the cham-- I pionship. He is still a young fel-- I low and can afford to wait a couple of years. But in the mean-time he has to fight more often and learn to use his left hand on defense. So much for fights. Baseball is in the air as the big league teams start for spring training. Hope burns internal in the hearts of managers and own-ers in the spring. Every team has made some deals that they hope will give them the needed lift that makes pennant winners. In a few days stories will be com-- I ing out of the different training camps of second Bob Fellers and Joe DiMaggios and of course from this crop may spring another Mickey Mantle. This is what makes baseball the great sport that it is. Locally nothing has been done as yet in regards to baseball. The BDAA officials are waiting to see what the plans are for the TuT.t.n.h.. TnrlnJc.trinl. TJ.nocbmn T nnaim ,.,Mfcn- - officials haven't set a date as yet for their organization meeting. I understand that all of the teams that went last year are set for 1953. Provo is having a little dif-ficulty over dates for the use of the city owned park. Harry Peas-le- y, last year's owner, has decid-ed to field an independent team and the Provo baseball associa-tion who own the Industrial lea-gue franchise are ready to put a team in the league. I am sure that this will be worked out. I under-stand the association has secured Marty Krug, ex-B- ee first base-man as their manager. Our local high school should have a good team as most of last year's champions are back. Our basketball team has been making a strong comeback, win-ning from the strong Cyprus team in a thriller last Friday 48 to 47 on a last second foul pitch. It isn't beyond the realms of possibility that Bingham couldn't wind up as one of the tournament teams from the Jordan Division. I understand there has been some trouble after a couple of the Bingham games between the spectators. Too bad that sports sports are to be marred by a few people. Of course if this sort of thing was to continue, there would be nothing for the school board to do but cancel all sports in high school. Now it seems that there is just a few of these trouble makers, and I think that the school authorities would be jus-tified in refusing these fellows admission to the games, because there is no reason that the en- - joyment of so many should be jeopardized by the action of so few. See you next week. AL B.D.A1 FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp Miners Tackle Buffaloes Binghams' prep hoop squad will travel to Tooele tonight to tackle the league leading Buf-faloes. The Miners, fresh from a victory oyer the powerful Cyprus five, are starting to click like a ball club, and are raring to hand the Buffs their second defeat. Tooele suffered its first loss last week at the hands of the last place Grantsville five, and may find their hands full with the surging Miners. The Tooele crew has practically clinched the Re-gion Two flag and may still be in a let down, whereas the locals will be at top speed trying to survive for the second place tour-ney berth. Anything can happen in prep circles, and with a bit of eood fortune, the Miners mav be in that '53' tourney yet. Next Friday the Miners will get another stern test at Judge Mem-orial, and will wind up regular season play at Bingham on Fri-day, March' 6, against a strong Murray squad. BDAA HOOP NEWS Some of the best and most in-teresting games ever played in the BDAA hoop league nave been held recently at the Gemmell Club court. The six squads are putting up a fine brand of bas-ketball and a lot of the games the being decided in the final minutes. This week tho Yellow-bellie- s kept their slate clean af-ter a. very narrow squeak past the rampaging Riverton five 47 to 44. The leaders were without the services of their scoring ace, Groves, but M. Niksich and Buckle took over in fine shape to score 20 and 14 points respec-tively. Riverton led in the first period 8 to 6, at the half 20 to 16 and had a one point margin at the end of the third stanza. The losers divided their scoring ef-forts, with J. Silcox collecting 13, R. Jensen 11 and M. Parry 8. A & M proved too much for a hot and cold Redskin squad, to put on a second half surge for a 48 to 22 verdict. The Redskins made a game of it for the first half, but couldn't connect in the final two quarters. R. Reed, with 13, S. Jaramillo with 11, and P. Ochoa with 8 were the top A & M gunners, as the Indian boys all scored about even. Herriman broke into the win column by downing the Winos 51 to 42, and showed promise of making things rough for the others in the futuure. The Herri-ma- n crew has added a former Montana State College man to their roster, by the name of Jones, and Jones obligingly dunked 20 points to lead his mat-es to the win. This league has a lot of fine players and are bring-ing out more fans every night. Drop up and watch this good bas-ketball every Monday. RECREATION CENTER ACTIVITIES by Mike Zdunich The leagues have really been coming along fine and the strong teams are really beginning to show their stuff. Spuds Gang, tto Seahawks, and upper Bingham are leading their leagues. ' In the Junior league it is Spuds Gang all alone on top without a defeat. In last weeks carries it was Spuds Gang beating Hurley's Service 32 to 14, Bingham beat-ing Copperfield 20 to 5. For Spuds it was Joey Robertson leading the team with 12 points followed by Nielsen with 8 and Montoya and English both had 4 points. For the losers it was Sim-kin- s and Johnson with 4 points apiece, helping them out were D. Markovich and B. Osoro with 3 points apiece. In the other game it was the up and coming Bing-ham team that beat Copperfield. G. Sluga again was leading his team to victory with 6 points fol-lowed by N. Martinez and F. Wat-anab- e with 4 points each. For Copperfield it was Miller with 3 and Mannos with 2 points. In the Senior league the race is as close as it can be. There are two teams tied for first place. They are the Pirates and the Sea-hawk- s. In Thursday's games the two undefeated teams clashed with the Seahawks nosing out the Pirates. The Pirates led thru the whole gamtr and had as much as a ten point lead, but with Re-kou- tis hitting with regularity the Seahawks came back strong. The top scorers in the game were Re-kout- is with 15, Hakanson had 7 and Butt 5 for the winners while Bianchi and Harryman had 14 and 12 respectfully for the losers. In the other game Copperton beat the Blackhawks 40 to 17. Jimmy Fike was the only man on the floor that could hit with any accuracy, he ended up the game with 18 points top for both teams. Hall and Johnson helped the winners with 7 and 6 points. E. Davies done the top scoring for the losers with 8 points. In the Monday night games the Pirates beat the Blackhawks 79-1- 4 in a run away game. Bianchi and Harryman had 21 points each and Eddie Garamendi helped the cause with 10 points while the best men on the losing team were Trujillo and Pando with 5 points apiece and Davies with 4. The Major league is really turning out to be a real humding-er and the games are really some good ones. Last Saturdays games found Upper Bingham beating Copperton 34 to 27. Roblez was the big gun for the winners with 13 points. Gallegos had 8, Roum-ipa- s with 7 and Hettriek with 6. !For the losers it was Mitchell with 13 and Houghton had 9 points. In the other game it was lower Bingham defeating Cop-perfield 47 to 43. Arritola was top scorer for the winners with 14, while Osequera and Sanchez each had 12 points. Top scoring honors went to P. Ochoa with 17 while G. Massa was dropping 10 through.
