Show Sports Here and There By Al Ablett. ? The Industrial league got off to a flying start last Sunday with Gemmell club taking the Brigham Peaches 13-3. Magna out-lasted Pinney to win 6-4 and Provo came out on the long end of a pitchers' battle with Helper 2-0. The Gemmel - Peaches game was played in Brigham before a opening-day crowd on the beautiful beauti-ful new ball field. Boxclder high school and the American Legion post conducted ceremonies, a real show. Mayor Anderson threw the first ball out, and the game was on. Bass was on the mound for Gemmell and he turned in a workman-like job. They scored scor-ed a run on him in the first, but from there on until the 9lh when he was working on a big lead, he held them down. He struck out nine men and their scorer gave them 10 hits, but in our book it was seven and three of those came in the 9th when he eased up. Besides pitching a swell game, this little fellow showed them he is some one to be reckoned with at that plate. He got a single and a triple and the triple was really a hit. Frank Zaccaria put on a one-man one-man show for the fans up there. He walked three times, got two for two, and stole four bases, including home, and scored five runs. Pretty fair day's work in any man's league. lea-gue. Big Robby Robertson caught a nice game, and drove in Ihree runs, two of them on a triple that was hit a country mile. Occie Evans, who is playing second base, made a great play, when he dove about four feet and came up with a hard-hit ground ball off Al Kastelic's bat. He couldn't get Al at first but it stopped a man from scoring from second. Wilson, Gemmell's second baseman, made a couple of hard , hit ground balls look like lazy hoppers, as he came up with everything in his territory. Don't let the score fool you, because Brigham is going to give somebody plenty of trouble be- fore the season is over. Word comes that Leif Erick-son Erick-son has a hustling ball club over at Magna. They beat Pinney Sunday Sun-day and Brigham Wednesday night. Gemmell plays them here next Wednesday. Provo has uncovered a fine pitcher in this boy Ralph Crow-ton. Crow-ton. He only gave Helper three hits Sunday. So, as I said before, Provo will be tough. Helper has a vastly improved team, there's no doubt the Industrial In-dustrial league fans are in for some fine baseball this summer.
