They won eleven of their last twelve games and in a fashion that left no doubt as to whom was the best team. Provo finished second with 13 won and five lost, three of their losses being to Gemmell. The second half will get un-derway Sunday. The tentative schedule sends Gemmell io Helper. Ogden has dropped out, leaving six teams lo play a fif-teen game schedule. I don't know whether any of the teams have strengthened for the last half or not. Gemniell beat i'mney 7 to 4 last Saturday for the clincher. Bass pitched a good game, keep-ing 10 hits well scattered, and the team gave him good support in the field. The clubmen threw away a couple of runs by faulty base running, but when hits meant runs they came through. Al Kas-telli- c made a great play when be raced deep into centerfield to take a drive off Tezak's bat. Bil-ly Johnson made a great stop and threw off a slow roller in the fifth to retire the side with two men on. Arne Velcheck look a bad hop in the chest and retrieved the ball in time to get the man at first. At the plate Johnson, Sumnichi and Zaccaria came through when hits meant runs. Robertson caught a good game and hit the ball hard. For Pin-ne- Louis Tezak on shortstop and Al Leisy in right field made fine plays lo stop scor-ing threats. Babe Ruth, one of the greatest of all time, was In Salt Lake Tuesday night to give an exhibi-tion of the batting prowess that made him the scourge of Ameri- - can league pitching for twenty years. Old Father Time has caught up with the Babe and put a num-ber of excess pounds on his fig-ure, but he still has that great wrist action and follow through that gave him such remarkable distance to his drives. A very dis-appointing crowd was on hand, about 800 paying customers. Must have reminded the Babe of'St. Louis on some hot August afternoon. It seems to me that the promoters forget that Salt Lake and surrounding cities are made up of working people and the prices should be within their means. To prove this, one has only to look at the attendance figures of the Salt Lake Bees. They are averaging close to 3000 a game. I am sure had the price of admission not been increased Babe Ruth would have played to a capacity house. Shots around the league: Leif Erickson and "Peewee" Bass hooked up in a duel Tues-day night in the tournament. Erickson's team won 3 lo 2, but Bass allowed only one earned run to two for Leif. Bass is with DRGW and Erickson with Henager s. Coors Beer team of Denver is going to make a tour of Utah. Gemmell plays them here. The House of David and "Sat-chel" Page's All Stars will be through in August. "Ug" Wilson, Gemmcll's crack second baseman, sprained his ankle in the Pinney game Satur-day. He will be out for about 10 days. Arne Velcheck and his bride arrived home Friday and "Mus-cles" was at third and second against Pinney. All the boys on the team said Arne could pick them. Bob Detmers passed the cigars around on the birth of a swell little girl. Bob wanted a right handed pitcher, but I guess some one got the signal crossed up. Rasmussen, the Magna catcher, was operated on for appendicitis and last reports are that he is getting along fine. The league Moguls meet Friday night to draw up the second half schedule, so will try and tell you what's what next week. So, until then, So Long, AL JORDAN SCHOOL BUDGET REDUCES LEVY T06.5 MILLS A reduction in the Jordan school district levy from 7.85 mills to G.4 mills will result from adoption of the 1940-4- 1 budget approved at the recent public hearing in the district offices.
