Show Sports Here and There by Al Ablctt The Utah Industrial league opens its tenth consecutive season sea-son Sunday, May 7. Gemmell club has had a team in every year, and they are again ready to field a team in the opener. Manager Les Sumnicht takes his charges to Provo to furnish the opposition for the Timps on the get away day. Opening day ceremonies cere-monies are planned and a big crowd is expected. Considering the team's chances in the coming race, one man's guess is as good as another's as to expected performance, per-formance, because the weather hasn't even given the manager a chance to look his material over. Provo and Magna are fielding good experienced teams. What Midvale, Pinney and Gemmell will have we will just wait and see. Gemmell has Ray Alves, Frank Zaccaria, Sammy Oliver, Herb Babcock, George Sluga and Darrell Robertson, as a nucleus to build around. What kind of material they will find in the new men we will find out Sunday. Sun-day. Gay Adelt, the former Utah university football star, is trying for a berth as a catcher, and the fellows tell me he looks plenty good. So if Manager Sumnicht can find a couple more men to fill in, he may have a good ball club. I know that this year the boys are playing because they like to. This corner and every sportsman in Bingham will be pulling for them. Speaking of baseball, and who isn't, Bingham Miners Wednesday Wednes-day blasted the Leopards of East high 21-13 at the Copperton diamond. dia-mond. Dean Stringham showed plenty of savvy in striking out 10 of the Leopards. Mike Zdu-nich, Zdu-nich, Carl Barrett and Bill Groves Grov-es packed the punch at the plate for Bingham. The Miners were taking their revenge for the 7-4 clipping East gave them a week before in the opener played at Salt Lake. Last Friday the South high school's Cubs, led by Kent Peter-I Peter-I son, a left hander, defeated the I Miners 8-0. So stay in there swinging. Until next week, a good buy is a war bond. Al |
