The past four days the Gem-me- ll club gym has been packed to capacity with basketball fans, of which this town has aplenty, watching the intermountain AAU tournament. Sixteen teams went to the barrier Monday night, eight each in the senior and jun-ior divisions. Coming into the stretch are the tour that have proven their ability to go the distance. So tonight, Thursday, we find Gemmell club of Bing-ham and Ecker Studio of Salt Lake in the senior division and Ecker Juniors and Salt Lake Juniors in the lower division, fighting it out to the wire. Regardless of who the winners may be in the game tonight, the actual winners will be the fans who have had the opportunity of seeing this great tournament and the classy brand of bait that has been dished up by all the teams. Joe Christensen, chairman of the AAU basketball committee, pronounces the 1941 tournament as the best he has seen in the twelve years that he has been connected with AAU tourneys. Bringing the tournament to Bingham, the first time, inci-dentally, it has gone outside Salt Lake City or Ogden, was cleariy no mistake. The AAU meet hat been well conducted. A great brand of ball has been played and there have been capacity crowds every night. So on to 1942 and a bigger and belter AAU tour-nament for Bingham Canyon. The Gemmell club entries in the AAU boxing tournament be-ing held at the Elks home in Salt Lake City have been going great guns. Out of nine men entered, four of them went to the finals. This will wind up tonight and we go to press too early to give you the results, but next week will try and give you all the dope- - The Utah Industrial league baseball managers and officers have held their first meeting and you have been told that the same officers were reelected: Bob Bullock of Provo, president, and William D. Kidd of Bingham, secretary. All of the teams that were In last year had representatives there with the exception of Helper, but they sent a letter assuring the league of their en-try. Brigham City is having some manageral troubles! Seems as though the board of directors and the fans both want "Occie" Ev-ans to handle the reins, but Oc-cie works at Magna and is in-tending to play for "Dad" Bar-rett, Magna-Garfield- 's new man-ager. But they have a number of applications for the job so they should have no trouble signing a good man. Provo reports that they are working on a proposition to light their park and it looks very favorable- - Helper is do-ing the same. If these two teams get lighted parks it will leave Gemmell and Magna the only two daylight teams in the circuit- - Pinney Beverage of Salt Lake is being urged to move to Mur-ray or Midvale in order to get away from competition with the Salt Lake Bees. I am sure that this would be a good move, as either town would support In-dustrial league balL Both towns have been without good baseball for a number of years and they are both in close proximity to Salt Lake City so Pinney fans could follow the team. Besides getting new fans, they could at the same time hold their old following. My guess is that Murray would welcome them with open arms. So Lou Ambers has decided to follow in Henry Armstrong's tracks and retire. His announce-ment came after his knockout of Lew Jenkins. That is as it should be. We have seen too many in the past try the comeback traiL But in trying to bring the old car back, they've wound up run-ning on one and two cylinders or else piled up by the road side. Ambers has been a great fighter and a credit to the game. May he have success in any under-taking he may try in the future. Speaking of fighting, how a Gemmell club diamond medal tournament for amateurs along about April? You club members give us your opinion. See you next week,. I hope! AL.

LAST HOOP GAME OF B H S SEASON TONIGHT, HERE Last game for the Bingham Miners this year will be with Grantsville on the Miners' home floor tonight. The two teams met in the first game of the season, with Bingham downing the Cow-boys 45-3- Since then the Grantsville crew have proven themselves far from second raters. Last Fri-day they were responsible for one of the season's major upsets by piling up a topheavy 41-2- 5 victory over the highly-favore- d Smelterites of Murray. Bingham was snowed under at Tooele 46-2- 7. For the first half Tooele's second stringers kept Bingham busy, although trailing 14-1- 8 at the half. With Johnny Paulos spearheading the attack and with Baldwin and Runko-vic- h keeping the hoop warm, the Buffs regulars stepped into the game the last half to cinch a decisive win. Long and Callen each garner-ed eight counters for the Miners while Nelson accounted for sev-en of the total 27 points for BHS.
