Sports i Here and There By Al Ablett r Basketball, a sport of whole-sale appeal, is over with for the year, with exception of M Men finals in Salt Lake. In the Industrial league playoff be-tween Magna and Gemmell Monday evening Gemmell went on a scoring spree. They pour-ed that ball through the hoop for 96 points. While Magna had what is ordinarily a good to-tal, 57. they were just 39 points short. Marlowe Turpin and Shelby West, the Gemmell forwards, scored 53 points be-tween them: Turpin 31, West 22. Glen Coon with 16 counters was Magna's best scorer. Shelby West paced Gemmell's attack Wednesday night at the Gemmell club when the locals cinched the pennant with an 83-4- 6 score. West accounted for 25 points and Neil Carroll snagged 14. Baseball is really in the air. The Industrial league held a meeting in Salt Lake Tuesday night and it was definitely settled that it would be an eight-clu- b league. Franchises have been awarded to Ogden and Brigham City and the third entry will either be D&RGW of Salt Lake City or Crescent. D&RGW is trying to lineup a park in Salt Lake City, and if Crescent gets the franchise they will probably play their home games in Midvale. With the addi-tion of three new clubs in the league there is certain to be plenty of interest. New faces, new cities and you have some-thing for the fans to talk about. Brigham City is equipped for night ball and the city is spon-soring the team, so there will be no question about the financial backing. For talent Brigham has the northern part of the state to draw from and this section has in the past produced some fine ball players. Ogden, as I understand, is being backed by Coors Bever-age company, so they are set from the money angle, too. As for talent, they have some fine semi-pr- o teams in Ogden, and I am told they will take the best of these for their entry. D&RGW won both the city and state championships last sea-son in the amateur ranks, and are desirous of competing in faster company. They have a fine ball club, and a host of backers. Crescent, backed by George Beekstead, has always had a good team. I am sure that if George is in the league he will give a good account of himself. Midvale is ready for semi-pr- o ball and will likely sup-port Crescent in fine style. The old members of the lea-gue, Magna, Pinney Beverage, Provo, Helper and Gemmell, re-port they are ready for the open-ing ball. The fans of the Indus-trial league are in for a great season. Work has been started on the baseball field at the high school stadium. Men in charge say it will be ready in plenty of lime. In the meantime the high school stale champions under Bailey Saniislevan have opened spring training in West (Palm Beach) Jordan. And I understand Gemmell will jour-ney lo Coral Gables (Midvale) for Iheir pre-seaso- n workout. Ray Jacobs was in town Wed-nesday looking for work. Ray has played plenty of baseball in his day in the coast league with the Cubs. For the last three years he managed the Yakima club in the Pacific Northwest league. He has always been a great hitter. When I saw him in '33 he was leading the coast lea-gue in home runs and was the first five hitters in per-centage. His home is in Salt Lake City and he wants to settle down. Will be a good man for some In-dustrial league team. Gemmell club is going to have a team in the amateur federa-tion. And they , are to play their home games in Bingham. This will be a fine thing for the young ball players, as it will give them a chance to develop. I am sure they will have a team that will be up there in the race and the (Continued on page 8) B. II.

OFFICERS ASK FOR CHANGES ON PLAYGROUND Calling attention to the mud, water, rocks and occasional slides from hillsides on the Bing-ham Central school playground, a request has been made by the Parent-Teach- er organization of the school to the Jordan school district board of education that existing conditions be corrected. Suggestions of a P.-T.- com-mittee were incorporated into a letter to the board and Dr. C.N. Jensen and were listed as fol-lows: "First That a retaining' wall be built from the Chipian Food store to the present wall, and one from the present wall to the back of the garage. These would elimi-nate the unsightly, rotten and dangerous wall at the south of the grounds and would prevent further sliding between the pres-ent wall and the garage. Undoub-tedly there could be no other way to control this sliding. Second That the grounds be graded from one end to the oth-er, sloped outward from the schoolhouse in the lower half, some more gravel hauled in and then the entire surface covered with oil mixed road material and rolled down similar to so many of the school grounds in Salt Lake City. This then could be flushed off every time the city cleaned the streets, which is four or five time a year. This would not be any harder than the present grounds, and would be a smooth surface for baseball, marbles, rope jumping, jackstones, etc., and would not dig out, preventing sprained ank-les, and would be clean and neat. Third That a new walk ex-tending from the school house to the street be made. The pres-ent walk is full of holes, is the same level as surrounding ground and therefore always muddy and wet, is badly damaged from tra-vel of school buses driven over it, and is unsightly. Fourth A drinking fountain outside the school building should be erected. The original fountain has been removed and has not been replaced." The communication was sign-ed by Mrs. J. O. Rasmussen, P.-T.- president; Mrs. Cyral Robi-so- n, secretary; Mrs. LeRoy Elmer, Mrs. Paul F. Erz and Mrs. Marlin Schultz. O " THREE-AC- T PLAY MEETSAPPROVAL Wingless Victory, a three-ac- t tragedy written by Maxwell An-derson, presented last Fri-day at the Bingham high school auditorium by the Theta Alpha Phi, national honorary dramatic fraternity at the University of Utah, under sponsorship of the R. C. Gemmell club and Bingham high school, played to a full house. The amount of interest eviden-ced in the production indicated that entertainment-seeker- s in Bingham Canyon are eager to support dramatic offerings of merit. W. R. Anderson, chairman of the Gemmell club entertainment committee, and Principal T. H. McMullin of the high school are to complimented for their efforts in securing presentation of the play for Bingham residents. Musical numbers between acts included piano solos by - Miss Marzetta Colyar and Robert Col-y- ar and a vocal solo by Blaine Wells. The tragedy brought about by return of the boisterous seagoing Nathaniel McQueston with his beautiful Malayan wife, Oparre, and two children, to the home of McQueston's mother and brother in Salem, Massachusetts, 1800, held the audience Marsha Ballif, cast as Oparre, brought to the role a re-gal grace and better than ade-quate talent. Lila Eccles Brim-ha- ll and Harry R. Allen were more than plausible as proud, unbending mother and brother of McQueston, followers of rigid New England traditions and re-ligious beliefs. Carl Greyson, an assistant speech instructor at the Univer-sity of Utah, proved himself an actor of no little distinction in his handling of a difficult role. His gradual personality change, the progressive alteration in cha-racter as the disapproval of his ' relatives and Salem residents be-came increasingly hard to en-dure, were both apparent and understandable. Others in the competent cast were Marco Chirstensen, Thomas Plummer, Orde Pinckney, Mel-vi- n Peterson, Robert Freed, Em-ma Ray Ashton, Barbara Whit-ney, Martha Flandro, Wayne Ri-chards, Margaret Jones, Margaret Ann Ballard, George K. FadeL James Norton, Glen S. Gold, Don Linford, William Benge and Roy-al Miller. ORIGINAL PLAY SCORESSUCCESS An amusing program that was also appropriate to the occasion was arranged for the entertain-ment of 80 persons attending the Bingham ward Relief society an-niversary party marking the 98th anniversary of the founding of the L. D. S. church auxiliary at the wardhouse Wednesday night.

CREER GUEST OF CIVIC CLUB Exaggerated nationalism was cause of the World war and the World war was mother of the war today, Dr. Leland H. Creer, chairman of the department of history at the University of Utah, told Women's Civic club mem-bers and their guests last night at No. 2 Fire hall. The Versailles treaty was described as the most pernicious, severe and unjust treaty ever drawn up. The attitudes of European na-tions involved in the present en-tanglement were outlined by Dr. Creer in developing his subject, "Conditions in Europe". We will not know for at least ten years what is actually happening in Europe and why, Dr. Creer said, as all information now available is propaganda or colored by ir-rational emotionalism. Donna Gay Dowd, accompan-ied by Mrs. D. O. Stoker, sang "La Golondrina" and "It's a Hap, Hap, Happy Day". Concluding numbers were vocal solos, "Sing, Sing, Birds on the Wing" and "An Open Secret", by Mrs. B. D. Bennion with Marion Pett ac-companist. Mrs. Ross Hocking, Mrs. Fred Dunn, Miss Althea Christensen and Mrs. Carl Curtis were hos-tesses. v Mr. and Mrs. Joe Lloyd of Riverton visited Mr. and Mrs. Gordon .Green Sunday. TULIP TIME IS WELLRECEIVED One of the most successful and elaborate Bingham junior high school operettas was staged last-evenin-g in the high school aud-itorium.
