Show Sports Here and There by Al Ablett What a race in that American League! Detroit looks like a sure winner win-ner now, with four games at home against the Washington team, while the Browns and Yankees are fighting each other in St. Louis. The only question is: how long can Trout and Newhouser hold up for the Tigers? Ti-gers? Overmire has a sore arm, and probably won't start in the Washington series. Gentry has been pitching good ball of late, so if he can win the first one the winning twins, Diz and Hal, should take care of the other two. But baseball is a funny game, and only time will tell. I still like Detroit. At home its football. Coach Bailey Santistevan is rounding his team into shape. Last Friday they journeyed to Park City and came away on the long end, 7 to 0. They play Lincoln high of Orem on the Copperton field today to-day (Friday) and in this game Sandy should have a pretty fair line up on his starting eleven. In Schick, Stringham and Reed he has the making of a good backfield. If he finds another man to go with this trio that department will be well cared for. In the line he has several new men, but they are fast catching on to Sandy's shift and at Park City they looked pretty good. Give him another game or two and Sandy's team will take care of itself. Of course this year is no different than it has been in the past. They will be handicapped handicap-ped by a lack of replacements. The game today starts at three o'clock. Bowling will begin on the first with four teams in the major league swinging into action. Copperton, Bingham Merchants, Junior Chamber and Gemmell club will bowl at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Mon-day, October 2. In their first sessions thev will nick a permanent perma-nent eight. The ladies have been bowling on Thursday nights and last night players registered for assignment to teams. Haven't heard when the league play begins. be-gins. A number of the fellows are bowling in the South Side Classic Clas-sic league in Sugarhouse. The Bingham Merchants are in this league. The team is captained by Paul Slotte with Frank Zaccaria, Bill Ablett, George and Jimmy Abplanalp and George Sluga making up the squad. A sweet team that is, too. Until next week a goodby is a War Bond. AL . r |
