Show PAGE TWO PROVO' (UTAH EVENING HERALD, FRIDAY AUGUST 26, J.938, : M. CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY-OFF TO BE SET SOON As expected, the board of directors direc-tors of the Utah Industrial league yesterday forced the Carbon county coun-ty team to 'forfeit two games in which it used an ineligible player. Brought to the board as a result re-sult of Gemmell manager Al Ab-lett's Ab-lett's protest of the Wednesday game between Gemmell and Carbon, Car-bon, the situation was quickly, cleared up. Player Ineligible . "Carbon used an ineigible player in Alascera, young American Legion Le-gion star, in both the Gemmell j game and a Dividend game last Sunday, and -they were forced to give up both the wins they turned in over these two teams. The victory for the Gemmell nine puts them into second place in the standings, just one half game behind the league leading Finney Beverage crew. Magna-Garfield Magna-Garfield is less than one half game behind the Gemmells in third place. Awarding the game to the Divi-dent Divi-dent team did not improve their standings, but it does make it possible for them to tie for second sec-ond in the league if they beat Pro-vo Pro-vo Sunday, and Pinney wins its remaining games. Carbon is now able to show but two games in vthe win column and is definitely in the cellar. Stick to Schedule The officials of the league also ruled yesterday that the games jpptesX. all "be played as scheduled. JJX y tx l ia J(l l l l i - rum ( ft " ft ft v scheduled to meet Sunday at Carbon, Car-bon, but the two teams agreed to play Monday at Magna. Claude Engberg, canny Pinney pilot, at once protested, and the board announced that the game had to be played as arranged at first. The day's delay would give the Magna team time to rest- after their game with Pinney tomorrow. Also the game must be played in Carbon so that the Magna team will not have the advantage of the home diamond. Crucial Game Tomorrow's game with Magna Is about as crucial a game as has been played in the second half. Should Pinney 'win, they are assured as-sured of no less than a. tie for the lop spot. If Magna wins, the race ivill be thrown into a three way . - " J 4 - ! J3 S&xffi .sA yie :v.,v:'Xvvwsv..'-w ' J 1 - " ",t ' ' y - ' - 4 -ra'tfw-,K3(f -: -yyys mm h iw' -r .-! f f ..

Shop Softball players and their families will enjoy a barbecue at Canyon Glen, Provo canyon this Sunday, when George Bills, sponsor of the team and owner of the General Shop, shows his appreciation for his fine 'ball team. Although the General Shop did not manage to win a title this season, they were just about the most feared team in the city. A team of tremendous hitters, the murderers row of the General Gen-eral Shop was a threat every time they were at bat. Mr. Bills, one of the most enthusiastic en-thusiastic softball supporter in the state, was always to be seen on the bench encouraging his boys to bang the ball a little harder. Sunday he will be host to these same players and their families in the final get-together of the season for all of them. Those who played for the Shop this season were Gordon Mitchell, Walt Skinner, Chris Sorenson, Ar-land Ar-land (Cory) Olsen, Bill Wilkins, Coy Harwood, Wells Hoover, Boyd Jolley, Earl Peay, Larry Peay, Dave Nelson, Owen Dixon and Howard Gilby. All of the regulars and those who played with the Shop team during the recent district tournament0 tourna-ment0 are "invited by Mr. Bills to come to the barbecue. tie with each of the three teams battling it out on Sunday. From the looks of the standings stand-ings and the schedule of play, it appears almost certain that the second half will end knotted up. Pinney can upset this prediction with two victories this week end, but that seems just a little impossible. im-possible. They must be very lucky to get by Magna on Saturday and then Gemmell on Sunday, and this is what they must do if they are to win the flag outright. The Provo Timps will attempt to get back into their winning ways Sunday as they tangle with the Dividend Miners. With the playoff series due to begin in a week providing the second half doesn't end in a tie, the locals are beginning to worry atout their erratic second half play. Sammy Christensen will pitch the Dividend game, and big Fran Dudley will be behind the platter, plat-ter, according to Lob Collins, .manager of the Timps. 13 PBONB84- s- EughesiCoPo 1 Again; SetwJVIark .r Streaking through ie sub-tratofphere at 17,000 fete, Howard Hughes and three companions in his round-the-world, planer-broke the transcdntintental non-stop flight for transport-planes by flying the 2478 miles from Glendale, Calif., to !New York in 10 hours, .32 minutea and 20 seconds.
