GE1ELI WINS FROM MINERS III CLOSE OWE Doty Bush Hit Homer To Bring In The Winning Score In Third With errorless support behind Mel Scott, pitching nine hit ball, the Gemmell crew defeated U. S. Mines here Wednesday at the tune of 4-- 3 in a game that placed the Miners one game further from the lead and brought the Gemmell boys out of the cellar. Al. Ablett pointed out that the Gemmell club team broke the Industrial league record for double plays when the crew chalked-u- five double plays. Gemmell collected their four runs from Paul May in the second and third innings after which Frank Shepherd was sent In to relieve him. The Gemmell men were held well In check during the remain-ing innings. Kastellic and Bush made all the runs for Gemmell, the the last two coming when Doty Bush clouted out a circuit blow to chase Al. Kastellic around the bags for a score that meant the margin of victory. Zaccaria, Myers and Shepherd scored the runs for U. S. Zaccaria scored on Myer's single after steal-ing second base. Myer's advanced to third on Walbeck's single, then scored on John Reed's fly ball. Shepherd scored his run In the 8th when he placed one over the left field fence for a home run. , Shepherd allowed only seventeen men to face him in the five innings. Five were struck out.

S. men have lost by one run, having lost to Pinney Sunday 3-- Joe Myer's, third baseman for the Miner's, and Webb, third sacker for Gemmell, played nice ball at the hot spot. i Road Improvements! New Pipeline'Plan Of City Ccuncilmen Two new city projects anticipat-ed by the town board were discus-sed by the council in session Wed-nesday evening. New pipes are be. lng installed from Dry Fork to tha Freeman tanks, much water being lost from tit old, decaying pipe line. The city will apply for PWA funds for this work. Main street from lower Bingham to Reno's Service station Is to be Improved. The road will be widen-ed and gutters and curbs paved where there Is a double sidewalk. Ground below Tom's Service sta-tion has been purchased for the purpose of widening the street there. The council received the applica-tion for taxi license from Parley Jones. Possibilities of Installing water meters in places where water is known to be wasted was discussed. Such action would probably result in the conservation of water by the offending parties. Work was resumed Tuesday on the Dry Fork tunnel by a crew of W P A workmen. 150 feet of tunnel-ing and timbering remain to be finished before'completlon of the project. . .. o Kill LEAVE FOR HI STATECONFAB Creedon Up For Reelection; Auxiliary To Have Active Part in Parade, Events Delegates, alternates and auxili-ary members of the two local fire departments are planning to attend the state convention August to be held in the Ogden Ben Lo-mond hotel, a section of which has been reserved for Bingham dele-gates.

BINGHAM SCOUTS COMMENDED FOR ; DEPORTMENT Five troops of Bingham Canyon boy scouts returned to their homes Saturday evening after a ' week at beautiful Catr RteinerJn the Granddaddy lakes"district. This was the third consecutive year Bing-ham Canyon scouts have been In attendance at the camp, and splen-did reports on their sportsmanship and general deportment was brough home by scout leaders. Rain every day for a portion of the day both-ered the boys but did not spoil the trip. A national boy scout executive present at the camp commended the troop's commissary department and manner in which food supplies and camps were arranged and handled, by A. A. Macke, chairman of finance. Dr. Paul Richards, chairman of the Court of Honor committee, and J. B. Myers, chairman of the Bing-ham District Council visited the scouts Thursday. POLITICAL LEADERS FAVOR IN RACE Increasing activities in strategic maneuvering of gubernatorial can- - dldates was observed during tha last week. Opponents in the Bour-bon ranks working for nomination against the candidacy of Governor Blood were narrowed by the witlj-dra-of Hugh Woodward of Prove whose supporters are being asked to concentrate their efforts in back,-ln-g Dean Herbert B. Maw's nomina-tion. Governor Blood's eleventh-hou- r at-tempt to appease the ire of organiz-ed labor by calling a special ses-sion of the legislature to alter State unemployment insurance features of the social security plan to con-form with the federal program was discounted by labor organizers questioned as to the effectiveness of Blood's tardy actions. The Utah Federation of Labor have gone on record as opposing Blood, charging him with ignoring the New Deal and crippling its progress by bis reactionary policies. It is doubtful that a special session of the legis-lature at this date can lighten 's criticism of the Blood admin-istratio-n. Business men find much about the Blood administration to praise. Pointing out that his re-cord at budget-balancin- g equals and exceeds Landon's much publicized record. Republican gubernatorial candid-ates gained another aspirant with the announced candidacy of R. K. Miller, Myton business man. Others are Ray E. Dillman, Roosevelt, H. Christensen, E. W. Kelly and W. W. Seegmiller. The number of the G. O. P. entrants have caused po-litical forecasters to hesitate In nam-- ing any favorites. With so many in the race it is thought extremely doubtful that any one could enter the convention 'with sufficient sup-port to obtain a nomination. Con-tinued balloting will no doubt see . much jockeying and the possibility of an unannounced candidate em-erging from the convention with the nomination. V Boys Must Quit ' Selling Sample Rocks The practice of enterprising boys selling specimens of rock ore to tourists at a stopping place between here and Copperf ield has beei. brought to an end. Monday of this week the theft of a purse from a car which was parked that the tour-ists might view the copper pit was reported. According to Deputy Sher-iff J. E. Householder the purse was recovered with a part of the money intact, but with valuable papers that were carried in it missing. Householder stated that several of the papers were found later near the creek where they had been dumped. Because of the annoyance caus-ed sightseers and the danger to boy3 from motors rounding the sharp curve at the stopping place boys are forbidden to sell rocks and ore to the tourists. V Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Strickley of Los Angeles visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Adderley last Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and then left for a tour of Yellowstone Park. They are former residents of Bingham, Mr. Strickley having been employed by the Utah Copper Company for many years. OVER-ANXIOU-S DRIVER CAUSE OF CAR WRECK Bruce Ivie, Jr. and Mrs. Bruce Ivle were returning heme from Salt Lake Wednesday evening. Just as they reached the Moonlight Beer Gardens a motorist from Bingham whipped directly in front of their car to turn into the Beer Gardens. Both cars were damaged consider-ably, the front of both machines were caved in. Bruce and Mrs.- - Ivie were not hurt seriously and were the only ones injured. Mrs. Ivie was taken to a physician and her bruises dressed. The accident about 10:30 p. m. r Legion Will Select Six ...
