Show u v : Sports i Here i and i There r By Al Ablelt s e In the past ten days the base-! base-! ball fans of Salt Lake county have been treated to some swell games. Sunday, Magna and Gem-; Gem-; mell put on a ding dong battle with Magna coming out on the long end of the 3 to 2 score. Monday Mon-day night the House of David beat the Salt Lake Bees 3 to 2. Wednesday afternoon Gemmell took the House of David by a 6 to 5 score and Wednesday night Pinney and the Kansas City Monarchy Mon-archy went to ten innings before the Monarchs won 9 to 3, scoring six runs in the tenth inning. So you can see by the results of the games that baseball of the gilt edge kind has tbeen the rule, instead in-stead of the exception. The Magna-Gemmell game was a pitchers' battle between Merrill Mer-rill Johnson of Magna and Bob Detmers of Gemmell. Bob tired in the eighth, and was replaced by Gene Fish. It was a case of Gemmell not hitting with men on. But a ball club will have days like that, and there isn't much that can be done about it ThP game was played in one hour and thirty-five minutes. Four double plays helped to speed things up, two being turned in by each team. Wednesday afternoon looked like old home week in Bingham with Holman Bass, Arne Vel-check Vel-check and Mendell Wilson of Gemmell meeting their team mates of last year. With Galena Days coming on, . some of the clubmen were sporting as good a crop of chin foliage as were the boys from Benton Harbor. Bass took the mound for Gemmell and turned in a masterful mas-terful job against his old mates, being especially effective with men on base. Wilson and Vel-check Vel-check also made Tucker, Tal-ley Tal-ley and Anderson wisji that three were still with the bearded beard-ed beauties instead of playing against them. Velcheck had three for four and covered centerfield like the dew. Wilson on second hasp rnv. ered that section of the infield like a blanket and chipped in with two timely hits. But to leave Ralph "Sparky" Fielder out of the line-up Wednesday Wed-nesday for Gemmell would have been like tying Bob Feller's right hand behind him and telling him to pitch. This boy played a game that would have done credit to "Hans Wagner in his heyday. Raced in on the grass to scoop up slow rollers and nail his man at first and took the hard hit ones deep and rifled the ball to first as true as William Toll's arrow. He also eot a double and single. Stille, a young right hander, started on the mound for the Davids, and this boy has plenty of stuff. Just 21 and a little wild yet. But shows enough promise to have signed to a Detroit contract. con-tract. He got along well enough until the fifth. In that frame the big guns on the club team started start-ed to boom. They got four runs in this inning, one in the sixth and "Doc" Talley took over and was charged with the loss. The Pepper game put on between be-tween inning was enjoyed by the large crowd. And the House of David ball club will always be welcome in Bingham because they never fail to give the fans value for their money. In an issue or two back I made a one game mistake in Bob Feller's Fel-ler's won and lost column. At the time he had won 19 and I said 18. I got a letter from Iowa the other day telling me about it.

SPORTS HERE AND THERE (Continued from page one) Boy how those Iowa fans for that buy from the corn state, and rightly so. Because at this writing he has won 22 and lost six (August (Aug-ust 22) and is being hailed to the World series to see him pitch. So the Iowa fans, at least, think Cleveland is going to win the American league pennant. More power to them. It won't be long before football foot-ball will in tht nows- Don t know what Bingham high school will have, but from what I can hear they will have a good team. If "Santy" has the material, he will be heard from, you can bet on that. Colorado university looks like the team to beat in the big seven conference, with Utah having the best chance to upset the dope. But until the World series is over, I can't seem to get pepped up about anything but baseball. And we might have a little World I series here in Bingham if one of I the other teams in the Industrial |
