It was a fact also last week when a large number of fans were on hand for the Peaches-Smithfiel- d clash. Whos pitching? Common questions were: What the batter? Whos inning is it? Whats the score? by Bruce new Navy. The military aint what it used to be. Brigham City has its own Army recruiting station now and Saturday morning, head man SSG Joe Lessard and some other Army folks staged a grand opening. There were ribbons, punch and cookies, even balloons. It wasnt the old olive drab of yesteryear. Certainly it didnt reflect the infantry.
