Show Scribes Pick Big-Four Honor Team; South Places Eight, East, Bingham, West Get Five South high school's mighty baseball team came through as champions of its region. For the third straight year, the Cub's smooth Working machine rolled through practically all opposition with only one setback. Cubs dominate the honor team. The winners always come out with the most placements. Practically every member of the Cub team is worthy of a berth on this mythical nine, but all the teams in the league have at least one outstanding baseball mem- ber on its squaa. Kay Greer, South First base Greer is a dependable hitter and probably the best base runner run-ner in the league. Kay is no "fancy dan" when it comes to fielding but he manages to maintain main-tain a fairly high fielding average. Jerry Dalebout, South Second base Dalebout is by far the best second baseman in the circuit. This clean-up hitter for the Cubs has the highest fielding average in the league as far as infielders go and is the most capable hitter on the squad. He is also selected as honorary captain. Ken Barret, Bingham Shortstop This Miner shortstop is a powerful pow-erful hitter and a smooth fielder. He is the outstanding player on the Bingham squad. This Bingham Bing-ham baseballer did some "doity woik" to the Cubs. Kenny Torp, East Third base Torp is the Leopard mainstay. This East third baseman stood out among the others in the line of both fielding and hitting. Jack Bale, South high's hot corner performer, per-former, is an excellent fielder but his hitting wasn't as outstanding as Torp's. Dick Towers, South Left field There are very few outfielders in the Big Four who are up to par. Little Dick Powers is one of them. Powers is a powerful hitter hit-ter and has been pounding the baseball over the right field fence all season. Don Brewer, South Center field Here is another Cub outergar-den outergar-den expert. He specializes on catching the flies the hard way. He is also a powerful hitter, which has aided the Cubs considerably con-siderably this season. Gates, AVest Right field Gates is the other fly catcher. He leads the league in hitting with a lusty .623. Gates also has a high average in fielding. Bob Story, South Catcher Three consecutive years behind the plate nets Bob Story the catcher's cat-cher's spot. This spark plug is an excellent hitter and in the opinion opin-ion of everyone he is the best receiver South has had in many years. Kent Peterson, South Dan Wells, Bingham Buddy Reese, West Sonny Pratt, South Dick Walkinshaw, South These four pitchers all have wins to their credit this season. Kent Peterson blanked Bingham in the opening of the Cub's schedule. sched-ule. Dan Wells defeated the Cubs at Bingham with his mound work that day. Buddy Reese has been able to stop every team in the league except South. Sonny Pratt in his performance at Brigham City netted him a spot among the five pitchers. Pratt has two wins and no losses to his credit. Walk- ingshaw in his first mound duty proved to city fans that the Cubs could win without the ace Kent Peterson. It is regretted very much that we don't have a spot on the team for catcher Vic Ashby of West, outfielder Bob Fisher of East, and . infielders Jack Bale, and Bill , Thomas of South.
