Show I I I i - 1 NQ' 47' A" Independcnt Newspaper BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH, FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1910 Oldest Weekly in Sail Lak County Thone 91 Sports Here : and I There By Al Abletj This week I'll try and give you some idea of what Pinney Beverage and, Provo will have this season in the way of ball clubs. j Saw Pinney play Salt Lake last Sunday and they lined up ut like they did last year. They have Harry Ostler on first; Occie Evans played second Sunday, but I understand he will be with Brigham City when league play opens and Pinney will have Lou Campana back at his old post at second. Louis Tezak was on short and Manager Fred Tedesco on third. They had two of last year's regulars in the outfield, Joe Vec-chi- o and Dee Mattson, along with a newcomer by the name of Al Leisy. Les Lemon was behind the plate. Their pitching staff con-sists of Ken Price, Lamar Sharp, Jack Lowell and Bob O'Brien. The first three are regulars from last year, but O'Brien is a new-comer. He is a Midvale boy who developed into quite a pitcher while attending baint Mary s college, Bob had a fling at Pro ball but didn't like it, so he is back home. Now folks, don't think that this isn't a real ball club, be-cause they can give anyone plenty of trouble. They played Provo for the championship last year and the series went the full five games before Pro-vo nosed them out. They are hustling every minute; and are an excellent defensive ball club. " " Their tntielcf'is fast and every-one of them possess a good arm, while the outfield can roam far and near for a fly ball. Les Lem-on has long been known as one of the best receivers in the state league, and he has an arm that can turn those fast runners back when they get larceny in their heads. The pitching staff will probably be headed by Ken Price, a big, long boy who can hum that apple and is developing more poise wun every game. I don't know how O'Brien will go in this league, but they say this left hander has a real curve ball. Tedesco, Ostler and Vecchio will furnish the power on offense. Some of the other boys are dan-gerous hitters. This team last year beat Gemmell every game. Hope they don't do as well this year. Provo will field a veteran team composed of the best from their last year's champions and the stars of the Dividend team. Their infield, I think, on the opening day will find Len Page on first, a regular from last year. On second it looks like Les Christensen, who played for Dividend. Glen Berge has the inside track at shortstop. He is another Dividend star. On third will be Lee Kump. But if Christensen doesn't come through on second, Kump will play that bag with Manager 'Lob' Collins taking over third. In the outfield they have Mel-vi- n Jensen, Hoppy Gardner and Fran Dudley, all from last year, but they tell me a newcomer by the name of Shorty Shurtliff is making a strong bid for a regular berth. Their catching duties will again be taken care of by Don Overley. The hurling corps will be Deb Dudley, the old boy who nitched them into the pennant last year; Sam Christensen, who is making a comeback after be-ing out last season with a bad arm. Lefty Cole is trying a Jim Jeffries. Also, they say, the Old Fox looks pretty good. The best of the rookie crop seems to be Ralph Crowton, for-merly a B.Y.U. basketball star. This boy stands six foot four inches and tips the beam at 200 pounds. The rail birds tell me he can buzz that apple. This team has about every-thing it takes to win; a good de-fense and some pretty fair coun-try hitters. So if Collins' pitching staff holds up he will give some-body plenty of trouble. We played the Salt Lake Bees Tuesday and lost 0. The game was called in the seventh inning on account of rain. This was real-ly a costly loss; not the game so much, but Billie Johnson, Gem-(Continu- ed on page eight) LOCAL GROUPS TAKE TO AIR, VIEWJINGHAM One of the most remarkable sights to be seen from the air, the Utah Copper company open pit mine, was viewed from a DST sleeper Mainliner SnnHnvj Kjijr wqa tpiiouiia Bingham Canyon. The largest passenger plane being used by air lines in United States today, the Mainliner weighs 25,000 pounds. The trip was arranged by Art Kelly, traffic manager of the Western Air Express, and was ken by Lions club members, their friends and families. It is Mr. Kelly's opinion, and he has been pilot and i regular air passenger over western Uni-ted States for nearly ten years, that only a few sights are com-parable to the Utah Copper pit in grandeur from the air. Those Mr. Kelly mentioned were Boul-der dam and the Teton range. The immensity of the copper mine, the uniformity and eve-ne- ss with which levels are car-ved into the sides of the moun-tains, the fantastic curves of the-surfac- e mine about the narrow canyon, can never be fully ap-preciated except from the air. As is the case with Zion and! Grand Canyon national parks, distance hides some of the beau-ty of soil coloration, which is, of course, not so remarkable in range and intensity at the copper pit, but is one of the surprises tourists always note when view-ing the mine. The group was divided into three parties, only 28 being al-lowed each trip. The Mainliner sped 100 miles per hour down the runway on the take-of- f, and crui-sing speed was about 190 miles per hour. Fred Kelly, a veteran with alf million miles to his credit, was pilot. The plane rose to an altitude of 12,500 feet and on the one hour trip circled over Great Salt Lake, Magna-Garfiel- d, Tooele, Bingham, Timpanogos, Park City and canyons adjacent to Salt Lake City. MUSIC FESTIVAL TONIGHT AT CHURCH This evening at 8 p.m. in the Bingham ward chapel, children of the Primary will present, un-der direction of officers and tea-chers, a "Festival of Music", in interpretive tableaux, dances and drills and pantomines. The enter-tainment, with over n00 young-sters taking part, will show "mu-sic in the lives of Primary child-ren". O G. 0. P. Workers Attend Central Committee Meet Jess Southwell, Harold Barton and C. C. Colyar attended a meet-ing of the Salt Lake county Re-publicans at the City and County building in Salt Lake City Mon-day evening. Purpose of the ga-thering was to make plans for legislative district Republican organization meetings. Chairmen, vice chairwomen and central committee members from the Tenth precinct were in attendance at the organization meeting at the Riverton junior high school Thursday evening. The purpose of the meeting was to name officers for the Republi-can 18th legislative district. JAYCEES PLAN TO CONTACT ROAD .

William Motis was chosen to contact as-sociation officials concerning en- - trance in tne league. President Johnston reported that 15 trees had been transplan-ted to the City cemetery by Jay-cees. The possibility of utilizing more parking spaces in the city was discussed by junior chamber members and it was decided to work with the Lions committee in seeking abolishment of truck zones and no parking areas. Plans were begun to send re-presentation from the local unit to the national junior chamber of commerce convention to be held in Washington, D. C, from June 17 to 21.

ADDERLEY Mrs. Adderley, the daughter of John and Elizabeth Hocking, was Miss Daisie Hocking and was born in Bingham February 28, 1878, in the family home at 393 Main street. Her parents were one of Bingham's first families, her father being superintendent for the Winnamuck and Stewart mines. Mr. Adderley was born June 1, 1869, a son of William and Mary Deign Adderley. He graduated from the Eastman Business col-lege at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. and left his home at Antwerp, N. Y., to come to Park City, Utah. He worked a short time there and in 1893 came to Bingham, where he was employed by William Strickley and later Charles Lash-broo- k, early Bingham merchants. In 1897 Mr. Adderley founded the Bingham Mercantile com-pany, now the oldest store in the Canyon, and has, since that time, been both manager and owner. The institution was founded sev-en years before the Utah Copper company, which has made Bing-ham Canyon world famous, was organized in 1904. While Mr. Adderley has been outstandingly successful and is much respected as a business man, his career is extraordinary in that on occasions of economic depression he found it possible to give unusual extension of credit. Residents of the commu-nity owe him more than grati-tude. Mr. Adderley is probably bet-ter known to more Bingham dis-trict residents than any other one individual. Congratulations go to him and his charming wife on their recent happy anniversary. YOUTHS' PROBLEM TOPIC F0R P.-T.- A. Disturbed economic conditions present youth with its foremost problem, D. A. Wootton, coordi-nator of Jordan school district, said Monday evening in his talk before the Bingham high school Parent-Teache- r association.

This state of affairs has come about as result of increasing use of machines. Following his talk, Mr. Woot-ton conducted a forum discussion on "Problems of Youth'. During the business meeting Mrs. A. E. Mitchell was elected president of the P.-T.- for 1940-4- 1, succeeding Mrs. David C. Lyon. The vice presidents include Principals T. H. McMullin and Charles Crawford, Mrs. G. O.
