O Sports Here and There by Al Ablett On the night of the 9th in the Ogden ball park they are hold-ing the North and South high school All-St- ar game. The pro-ceeds go to the Shriners Crippled Children'! hospital, and the boy picked from these two teams will go to Chicago to play in the boys ail-sta- r game. He will not only play in the game, but he will see three big league games, and a pro football game. What a trip for a boy. Bingham will be re-presented In the Ogden game by not only five of our state champ-ions but the South team will be coached by our own Bailey San-tisteva- Billy Boron, Mickey l ulleton, Calvin Crump, George Dima.s and Jack Knudsen. In my book any one of these boys has the ability to be the one picked. Besides our Bingham boys, big George Fisher from Davis and Howard Ford of Provo, will be pitchers on the South squad Fisher has been picked to start the game, and my guess he will be opposed by "Bud" Power of Brigham City. Both of these boys have played in the Chicago game. Everyone in this part of the state has heard of Fisher, but do you know that Powers has even a belter record. He has struck out 85 men, allowed five hits and one earned run with one no hit game in the five he pitched. He has another year in high school. So as good a squad as the South will have the North will be able to match it. About 3000 fans are expected to see the game. I know there will be a good sprinkling of Bing-- j ham people among them. Al Warden, the veteran Ogden sports writer has worked hard on this game, and it deserved the .support of every fan in Utah. I consider it a great honor to have been picked as one of the um-pires. In the Industrial league Provo is still out in front and in Ford they have one of the outstanding young pitchers in Utah. Sandy and I worked a game in Salt Lake Sunday that was a classic-- Brigham City beat Pinney 3 to 2, and the game only lasted one hour and fifteen minutes. Both teams hustled every minute. In Pete Radulovich, Pinney, has one of the best catchers seen in these parts for many a moon. Pete can hit it smart as he has a sling shot arm. Big Earl Owen can still hit. He shot one over the right field fence in Salt Lake Sunday and believe me friends that is a fair drive for a horse and buggy. Another good young ball play-er is this boy Jacobs of Brigham. Powers of Pinney, no relation to the Box Elder pitcher, but a ball player in his own right. He was wfth Twin Falls last year as an outfielder but is playing the in-field for Pinney and I believe he has found his spot. Jack Ridd of Magna is another boy that has come fast. Johnson the Magna catcher is another one of Lief Erickson's finds. The boy is im-proving with every game. Pitch-ing is .the only thing in the lea-gue that is below par. Jack Knud-sen and Dean Stringham, both Bingham boys, have joined the Helper ball club. Bowling is carrying over into the summer months in a way that is surprising. Tnere will be a meeting of all those interested in a summer league Tuesday, June 10- So if you are interested be sure and be there. See you at the game in Ogden.

Utah Publicity Reaches Million People A Utah story, photographically illustrated, is carried in the June issue of U. S. Camera. The pub-lishers report the magazine will be seen by one million readers. The article was done by Jack Goodman, who secured much of his information from the Utah department of publicity and in-dustrial development. Thus type of publicity is extremely valu-able and does much to focus the attention of the nation's vacation-ists on the unparalled scenic at-tractions of the Beehive state. National Magazine Features Utah And The Mormons Perhaps one of the best pub-licity plugs Utah will get this year is in the June issue of Path-finder magazine. A picture in natural color of the Mormon temple, also the wdrds, "Utah The Mormon Conquest", is cover-feature- d. The four-pag- e article is very well done and is accom-panied by nine excellent story-telling photos. The most signifi-cant thing about the article is the fact that itjs truthful and un-biased, indicating that prejudice and ignorance concerning Utah and the Mormons is giving way to friendliness and understand-ing. No Class Prejudice Here That Utah high school students are a democratic group is indi-cated in the fact that Salt Lake City's West high school's Associ-ated Girls' Council has named Lily Lurnagai president of the council. Miss Lurnagai is of Jap-anese extraction.

B.D.A.A. FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp SPECIAL MEETING The BDAA has scheduled a special meeting Thursday night. June 12 at city hall for a discussion of the new youth program with all Bingham district business-men, persons or organizations which may be interested. This program is simply an ef-fort by many far-seein- g local citizens to further develop the talents of our boys who have fin-ished their high school activities or who have passed the age limit for Junior American Legion sports. The direct idea is to equip and maintain an amateur baseball team in some near league. (Ama-teur Federation league has been contacted.) These boys will be under competent guidance, and will be given every chance to develop their abilities and sports-manship. Invitations, explaining the pur-pose of this meeting have been or will be sent to all business men in Bingham district to at-tend. We sincerely desire your cooperation and invite anyone interested to this meeting. Re-member 8 p.m. June 12 at Citv hall- BATTER UP What kind of softball game you like best huh? Lotsa runs, lopsided scores, pitch-ers' duels or no decisions? Well we got 'em all. Last week the BDAA softballers really put on a display. Copperton and the Eagles stag-ed a free for all track meet that wore out a number of pencils and scorers just making the runs as the sprinters loped over home plate. The Eagles, probably daz-ed from watching a continual Copperton blur around the bases, finally succumbed 33 to 8. Just wait till these boys get in shape. It was a different story at Lark though, as the strong A & M crew won a hard fought game 3 to 1 over the LaTk Lions. In the third game, nobody has won yet. Watta contest, 9 to 9 at the end of the ninth and 9 men on each team rarin' to play all night if necessary. Anyway, the Lions and Firemen couldn't reach a de-cision after 9, or was it 11 inn-ings, so the game was called off on account of darkness, wind, rain or something and everybody departed. Tuesday's games were rained out, but the boys take the field again Thursday (ma"be in boats). Managers of all softball teams are required to present team ros-ters at the special meeting June 12. No limit is being set on num-ber of players per team, but men will not be allowed to play for any team other than the one he signs on. Only 15 awards will be presented the winning team re-gardless of number of players on roster.
