Show ' I PBG (iw 11 AmvjHV rtjy ItlMMV" fifT Mftlffi tSiiF An independent New.We, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH, FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1937 ouort weekly in Bait Lake coaaty 'Phone 91 PUNCHING I V THE BAG By AL. ABLETT Rehearsals have started another play presented annually for the ap-proval of the Bingham baseball fans, Gemmell began practice Mon-day with a few additions to their cast. Some of these new members are slated to play important roles in Industrial league circles. Gene Fish Is back in town and will bolster the pitching staff. This young fellow ha had two years of ' Pro experience, so he should be a big help. Oliver was one of the leading pitchers of the Iratue last year. Sam has put. en a little weight during the winter and should be as good if not bet-ter than he was last year. "Nuff said". A different spirit Is bring shown by Scott this season, so wc are expecting htm to have a good year. Harrison Is potentially one of the best in these parts. His per-formance will depend on his con-dition. Louis Valdes and Pete Padgen and a left bander named Chase are the young pitchers. If one conies through we may let en . of the veterans go. This year we hate three catchers, LaComb, Bus Smith and Pete Saltas. LaComb was with Provo last year, is smart and handles his pitcher well He had trouble with bis eyes last year, but this seems to be cor-rected now as he is wearing glas-ses. Bus Smith may be converted into a first baseman. He can hit and throw plenty fast, so should make a first class infielder. Saltas is a young fellow who gives plenty of promise. He has a quick head and a nice arm. One drawback last sea-son was his size and hitting. He is bigger this year and If he can get started hitting he will make it tough to keep out of there. Evans is a young fellow from Cache Val-ley who seems to be good material as a catcher. Looks like Gemmell is well qualified behind the plate. Doty Bush, picked as the best In the league last year, is back at first. They may make better fielders but he can powder that onion. Johnny (Rabbit) Pearson is at the keystone position again. How that little fellow can hound a ground ball! Rabbit takes a nice cut at the plate and he gete his share of base hits. "BUIle" Johnson is the short stop. This young fellow has every thing he can throw, he can field and he has Improved in hitting every season. With his base hits Johnson gets plenty of distance. If he keeps up Improvement pace he will give opposing pitchers plenty of misery. Playing third this spring we have "Dally" Brown. With another year's experience on that corner he should be a much improved ball player. A former Crescent player, Darrell Day, is out for an infield berth and from the little we have seen of him he looks like he is going to make the boys step up to keep him out of there. Outfield Is all set with a trio of tried and true ball players. Frank Zaccarla is in the left, Al Kastel-li- e at Center and Les Sumnicht in right field. What an answer to a manager's dream! They can all field and throw, run bases like nobody's business and when they come up to that plate ita "Katy, bar that gate!" To fill in we have Jimmy Burns. This boy is willing to go a country mile for a fly ball. He may find himself at the plate this year. If he does, well you guess. A fellow by the name of Ablett will be around again so the wolves can have their day. Next week we'll tell you about U. S. Mines. Yours for a base hit, AL U "" ilding Era Includes slew Apartment House For This a .

Jordan school district will again furnish busses to transport boys to Copperton. Sufficient money has been raised for this project to. In-sure purchase of needed equipment and the fund is large enough to al-low " a broadening program.

New members are initiated by members of the company they join. Earl James was named chairman of an educational committee to plan programs for meetings. A report made on the dance giv-en by firemen showed the affair was a financial success. Discussion of possibility of entran-ce of a firemen's team into the Softball league resulted in appoint-ment of a representative to attend the meeting of Softball association officers meeting Wednesday. s V Dry Fork Water Line Construction Okeyed Early construction of the Dry Fork water line is anticipated as result of the endorsement given the project by the president's national resources committee in a report made public early this week in Washington D. C. Projects okeyed for Utah will to-tal millions of dollars. As the Bing-ham water line project is on the list of those expected to be begun at an early date, prospects are .favor-able for immediate allotment of money. Construction of a high pressure steal water line from Dry Fork would necessitate a bond election for $20,350 which is 55 per cent of the total estimated cost. Balance of the money would be obtained by a PWA grant. Firemen Plan Annual Clean-U- p Campaign Beginning their second annual clean-u- p drive, Volunteer Firemen of both companies laid plans Tues-day night to make Bingham a clean-er, brighter place in which to live. Earl James, street and sanitation councilman, was named chantnait of the committee for firemen and will be assisted by Dorm Larson, Bill Cook, John West, Ray Nelson and Jim Householder. The public are asked to coperate with the firemen in this general spring cleanup and to place all rub-bish in an accessible place so that the city truck can collect this ma-terial. " Recognizing the danger of rub-bish heaps as a fire hazard the firemen take the lead each year in cleaning residences. The work also leaves the town much improved in appearance. Iff. COPPER SPENDS hoSSt DEVELOPMENT WILL KEEP PACE WITH DEMAND FOR METALS Utah Copper is now operating at its "highest tonnage In the history and with the most satisfactory me-tallurgical results it has ever at-tained on such large tonnage," Colonel C. Jackling, Utah Copper company president said Monday at an interview in Salt Lake City. To keep pace with production and in In anticipation of a continued favot-abl- e outlook improvements totalling a cost of several million dollars were outlined by Colonel Jackling. Besides construction of the mil-lion dollar vehicular tunnel from Bingham to Copperfield purchase oi expensive equipment has been made. 250 mine ears, costing $1,000,000, have been recently delivered. Half of an order for $1,000,00 worth of electrical looomotive and power shovels have been received. During depression years physical equipment depreciated and the Cop-per company are now planning to rehabilitate mine and- - plant equip ment. The Magna and Arthur mills are Included in this program. Colonel Jackling and his party visited the Bingham pit mine Sun-day. He was pleased with the find-ings of his inspection trip. Tuesday he leaves for New York to attend the meeting of Kennecott stockhold-ers on May 4. The future of copper depends on activity in general business lines. If Industry continues to progress satisfactorily it is the opinion of Colonel Jackling that the outlook for sustained demand for copper at reasonable prices is excellent.

The extra prize will be given to the winner at the close of the second period, and any candidate regardless of where they stand today, has an equal chance to win it. While one candidate said today, "It's too good to be true" In confirm-ing this generous offer the manage-ment repeated: The contestant turn-ing in the largest amount of money for subscriptions during the "sec-ond period" will receive $5.00 In cash. No Charity In It The reason for this added gener-- . t osity, considering that we nave al-ready displayed an abundance of same in awarding scholarships in College, or Beauty School and the L.D.S. Business college of Salt Lake City (for those willing to work for them) besides daily pay checks and additional bonus checks, is not motivated by charity, we expect to see a few more contestants enter the race and those who entered lati or just getting started will have as good a chance to capture this EXTRA prize as anyone who enter-ed at an earlier date. Checks Just the Same All candidates will receive their checks just the same, and the one winning the extra prize will also be paid commissions. Could anything be more fair or liberal than this?
