Show Sr Sports Here and There by Al Ablett There isn't much to say about Gemmell, they were going good in the second-half, but it seems that they have faltered. The last two games have found them on the short end of a 13 to 5 score at Magna and 10 to 3 at Brigham City. They are now at the .500 point mark, with three wins and three losses. Magna is in the same spot, with Pinney, Brig-ham Brig-ham City and the Air Base following. fol-lowing. Provo is out in front with five wins and no losses. The Timrjs defeated Pinney Wednesday Wednes-day evening, 7 to 3 at Community Commu-nity park before a good crowd. Pinney may finish low in the standing, .but they will be near the top in money. Provo looks like the team to beat in the second-half, but Magna Mag-na is coming strong, after dropping drop-ping their first three games. Wednesday Wed-nesday they took the Air Base 8 to 5 for their third straight win. It looked to me like the club had a little let down after winning the first-half, this is only natural They are hopped up now and they tell me, they are going to try and win both halves. You know Gemmell has been the only on-ly team to ever do that. They turned the trick in 1940.

The southern group will 'consist of members from Magna. Gemmell Gem-mell and Provo. This game is for the purpose of raising funds for the Air Base team's expenses. ex-penses. As you know, the army does not allow them to take any money, and all soldiers are free to their games. So the league conceived the idea of an all-star game so the service team could play in the Indus- I trial league. The board has turned the selection of the teams over to the fans. You will find a ballot in this issue of the Bulletin. Here is a chance for all the grandstand managers manag-ers to get in their licks. Every ball fan at one time or another has thought, boy if I could have picked the team Well, here's your chance. John Q. Fan, so make the best of it. Pick your team and drop your ballot in the box at any Industrial Indus-trial league game. Many Utah fans will be disappointed dis-appointed to find that the Santa Ana Air Base team could not come to Utah for their game with the Air Base. They had made arrangements to seat 7,000, and the tickets were going like a prairie fire. Of course, the attraction at-traction was Joe DiMaggio. I was disappointed because Dar-rell Dar-rell Kidd and I had been picked to umpire. Maybe they can make it a little later on. Next week is the state semi-pro semi-pro tournament in Brigham City. So, until I see how you pick'em for the all-star game, I'll see you around the water cooler. AL. |
