Show Activities Of City Sports A Indian summer . . . dog days . . . the sort of "smell" of football in the air '. . . shorter days and longer nights means to the sports fan that baseball and its first cousin, Softball is in its waning days with another season's play almost complete on the record books. So it is that Springville's most successful season of organized softball play came to an official end Tuesday, August 23. Several postponed games, however, and exhibition games will find players cn the diamond nightly until late in September, according to Recreational Rec-reational Director Monty Groes-beck Groes-beck but the official schedule ended Tuesday night when the American Legion virtually clinched clinch-ed the second half title ,by defeating de-feating Jack's Service 15 to 7 and Mission Cafe downed Mapleton 11 to 2 in five innings. With the first half title chucked under their belts and the second half championship practically clinched, it looks like Eddie Cran-dall's Cran-dall's boys can be marked up as the Springville champs of 1938.
