Show Page Four SOUTH HIGH SCRIBE Friday, May 5 1944 ; Gub Nine Dominates Big Four Race South Downs East, 13-- 7 Continuing their winnig streak, the South high nine dumped the hapless Leopards for the secand time this week, 13-- 7, to stay atop of the "Big Four" race. Yester-days contest was played on the Municipal ball diamond at 3 p. m. The hard hitting Cubs started the first inning with three runs. Dick Cornelous started on the mound for the Cubs and was re-lieved in the fifth frame by Son-ny Pratt who finished the battle. Don Brewer, and little Dick Powers were the big; guns at the plate for the Cubs. Brewer hit four out of five trips to the plate, and Powers hit one less in four trips. Jack Bale and Bob Story-manage-to get two bingos yes-terday afternoon. This stretched the Cub winning; streak to 12 straight in three years. If the Cubs win the next game with West, they will qualify for the state championship. The season started with an 8-- 0 victory over Bingham. Pitch-ing 3-- ball, Peterson struck-o- ut 16 Bingham batsmen in an orderly fashion. The Cubs collect-ed 10 hits off Montoya, the visi-tors pitcher, which included home runs by Bob Story and Jerry Dale-bou- t. A third bagger by Don Brewer and a double by Peterson, plus Jack Bail getting 3 for 4 added to the miner's woes. Dominating the entire the tussle, Cubs were never seriously threatened, and took the win in their stride. Proving that they had a good team even without Peterson, the Cub nine added another victory to their belt by tumbling East 4-- 1. Brewer blasted a homer in-to left field in the second inning for the Cubs first run. He and Thomas dominated in the batting-department- , each getting 2 for 4. Although South gathered 10 hits to the Eastsiders 3. Walkingshaw proved his worth as a pitcher pouring it on the entire 9 frames . for 15 strikouts. Victory number 3 was a close call for the Cubs, winning by a slight margin of 9 to 8 giving West the defeat. Two pitchers were needed to overpower the hard driving Panthers. Sonny Pratt started out and did a nice job up to the fifth inning, but then West got his number and he was relieved by "Windy" Jepson, who weathered the rest of the storm, and managed to come out on top. Errors were flying thick and fast in the last half of the sec-ond inning, when South piled up 6 tallies, but hard driving West soon tied the score at 6 all. From there on out it was a matter of who could hit the hardest. Head Spring Sports Parade South High's cream of the crop as far as spring sports are concerned.

Scribe SPORT TRAITS , By liifi Miller Since baseball is America's fa-...vor- ite sport, it seems likely that all high schools possible, would recognize it as such. But as it is today, baseball is played less than any other sport. If a small school like Bingham can field a baseball team, then surely the larger schools such as Granite, Davis and Jordan can. After a hard struggle the dia-mond sport was accepted into the old "Big Three." tAs soon as base-ball had estab-lished a foothold in the city high ischools, the "Big isix" was formed, namely, South, East, West, Gran-lit- e, Davis and jjordan. That was jvery good," and jwhat everybody had always want-ed. Not forget-ting that also wnen me Jtsig Cliff Miller Six" was formed, it was agreed that sports of all kinds would be recognized, and competition would therefore re-sult. So they forgot baseball! Of all the sports in the United States it seems that they would include the most American of all Ameri-can sports. Thank goodness the city schools and Bingham at least kept it alive. Of course the other schools had their difficulties or baseball might prevail now, but if it is put off and put off there might never be a seven school league including Bingham, Surely material enough can be found to operate a ball club in each school. They are big enough! No doubt student interest would rise to such a degree that it might shadow the turnouts at the bas-ketball and football games. All that is needed is to give baseball a chance and real competition will result. When, next season rolls around, it is the hope of many, that more high schools recognize baseball as an official spring sport. With enough encouragement the turnout and interest of the fans might soar twice as high as ever ' before. So let us all get behind baseball and push it to the front, as one of the foremost of all high school sports. It can, should, and will be done!

This all around athlete stands 5 feet, 10 inches tall and is slightly on the heavy side in weight. Viewing over his three years at South, "Pete" has achieved an excellent record along the sport world. Peterson started off his junior year playing "B" football only to find him-- sen on me uentn wim xu mjuij, "j "B" basketball and baseball. Last year "Pete" stared on the football team as passer and kicker. He was also on the basketball team. Then came spring. Here is where he made a name for himself in sport circles. As ace hurler on Gilbert's nine Peterson struck out 19 batsmen from West high in the opening game on the Cub's diamond. He worked with a semi-pr- o baseball squad last summer and gained valuable experience. Peterson's kicking and passing on the "A" team last fall was spectacular. He helped the basketball team considerably this winter and although the "A" team didn't hold up past standards they were always in trying. . He is holding down the major role on the base-ball team this spring and has one win to his credit in rno ctnrt As you can see he has held down three regular positions on three major teams which ranks his among the best at South high school.
