Show Sports Here and There by Al Ablett On the night of the 9th in the Ogden ball park they are holding hold-ing the North and South high school All-Star game. The proceeds 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-star 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 represented re-presented In the Ogden game by not only five of our state champions champ-ions but the South team will be coached by our own Bailey San-tistevan. San-tistevan. Billy Boron, Mickey l ulleton, Calvin Crump, George Dima.s and Jack Knudsen. In my book any one of these boys has 1 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 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 umpires. 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-j classic-j Brigham City beat Pinney 3 to I j 2, and the game only lasted one i , 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 player 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 infield 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 improving im-proving with every game. Pitching Pitch-ing is .the only thing in the league lea-gue that is below par. Jack Knudsen 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 i a meeting of all those interested I in a summer league Tuesday, June 10- So if you are interested be sure and be there. See you at the game in Ogden. AL O |
