Show CLEARFIELD COURIER, April 27, 1978, Page 1 1 Bamlbuiriniir In a typical Clearfield-Ro- Barn-Burne- y r, Monday night, Paul Zahn of Roy hit a seventh inning grand slam home run to leap-frothe Falcons and beat them at Falcon Field. Going into the final inning, Clearfield was leading and had brought Ace Pitcher Mike Arrant on, in relief of Glen Abeyta, who had pitched a masterful game. Abeyta has shown signs of tiring in the seventh frame and Arrant got the call. Mike gave up only one hit, but it was the big one. Roy scored three runs in the first inning, on a single by Nate Herzog, and four costly Falcon errors. The Falcons struck back in their half of the inning with hits by Miller, Har-tunand Gardener and scored two runs. Roy scored two more in the second frame on a single by Tony Caputo, and back to back doubles by Fernandes and Zahn. In the Clearfield half of the second, singles by Perkins, Adams, and Miller, and a "bases loaded triple by Doug Hamblin gave the Falcons five big runs and a lead. Hamblin tried to stretch his triple into a home run, but was cut down on a perfect strike by Jon Nickerson from left field. Clearfields Glen Abeyta gave up a base on balls in the third inning, and then struck out two Royals and got a third to ground out to third base. David Johnson of Roy put the Falcons down in order in the bottom of the third inning. Roy came up with a walk and singles by Herzog and Zahn in the fourth inning, but the Clearfield defense allowed no runs. Doug Hamblin threw a perfect strike to second on an attempted steal for the first out. The Falcons then got two men on in the fourth inning, but saw g 10-- 8 7-- g 7-- 5 CLEARFIELD CATCHER Doug Fernandes of Roy.

Range rides conducted on annual basis The Division of Wildlife Resources spring range rides have been conducted annually since the 1930s. They were organized originally to count deer throughout the state. But these counts were often inaccurate, due to variables such as weather and the problem of double counting. Our objectives changed in the late says Kendall Nelson, assistant chief of Game Management with the DWR. Now, range rides accomplish two things. They are a ever-prese- 10s, Gymnast session slated for May The Clearfield Community School Gymnastics has announced their will run spring session.

And the interaction we achieve with the public can be accomplished in few other ways. Range rides offer the public an opportunity to see what criteria are used to determine range conditions. Rodney John, big game supervisor with the Division, comments, Utah sportsmen are often surprised and pleased to see the effectiveness of" methods used by wildlife biologists and conservation officers to determine range quality. Browse and pellet group transects help to estimate the size of a big game herd on a particular unit and the forage which is available for its use. Transect data and range ride information form the nucleus of recommendations made to the Big Game Interagency Committee concerning potential harvest. Spring sightings on range rides are useful in assessing the condition of big game herds. If a herd has been stressed during a considerably harsh winter, range ride observations will reveal this. We also look for winter mortality, says Nelson. "If we can make a judgement on the cause of death for a number of deer whether it be accidental or from poaching, starvation or predations our job is made a lot easier. Some range rides are conducted by vehicle. But most Division personnel feel that a thorough examination of the range can be accomplished best But or on foot. on horseback whatever we find on a range ride, concludes Nelson, its an excellent opportunity for sportsmen and the Division to exchange big game philosophies. The value this has on our management program is them stranded on a fielders choice and two strike-outIn this inning, Hot Hitting Scott Hartung was intentionally walked fora second time in the game. Roys Scott Van Sickle singled for Roy in the Fifth, but died on base as Abeyta struck out three Royals. In Clearfields turn at bat, Mike Arrant singled to open the inning, but was caught, trying to steal second base. Then Pitcher David Johnson registered two more strike outs to end the inning. Roy got a lone run in the top of the sixth inning on singles by Fernandes and designated hitter Larry Guinn. Then Guinn took the mound as Clearfield came to bat. He walked the first batter, and then struck out the next three Falcons. Guinn, a knuckle-baile- r of respect, has been on the injury list for ten days. The Doctor gave him the green light to play Monday morning. Going into the final inning, Roy was and near the trailing Clearfield bottom of the batting order. The lead-of- f man walked, and took second base on a bunt single that got through the Clearfield seam of the infield. The Falcons got the man at third on the next bunt attempt, but the following Royal walked to load the bases. Paul Zahn, then stepped to the plate and blasted the ball a country head for mile over the four big runs. Clearfield showed a lot of guts in its half of the final inning, but the Royals were able to nip the rally and win the game by two.
