They have a good team representing them. Tho Bingham Police have broken bro-ken up somewhat. Some of their j players have gone fishing, others oth-ers have been sold to other clubs and others just have a hard time getting up in time to catch the bus. Joseph Nichols, Oswald Rubalcava and Clyde Hottrick, however, are doing their best to keep thou team in the league. Pete Leyba, hard hitting in-fiolder in-fiolder for J. C. Penney, along with Ronnie and Gibby Burke, are keeping the Copperfield boys hustling every day. A fine team with great spirit. I Frank English and Boyd House-i House-i holder are both nursing a black eye, result of foul ball and a j thrown ball striking them. How-; ! over, both are back on the play- I ground, oven though they need ! colored glasses to hide the darkened dark-ened optic.

They are turning in some great work defensively and offensively against the other clubs-Tom clubs-Tom Lovat, Norman Chesler I and Robert Murano, along with Bryce Busey, Frank English and Richard Susaeta, are tho mainstays main-stays of the Bingham Cardinals, formerly the Pop Eye club. The Bingham Legion team lost its second game of the sea-! sea-! son to the Murray Legion team j 11-6 Tuesday. Our hitting and fielding was very poor and our pitching didn't look too impres-I impres-I sive. Billy Boron, a product of our playground and Legion baseball, was selected by the judges and big league scouts at Ogdon Monday Mon-day night in the game between the North and South All Stars, as the boy from Utah to represent repre-sent Utah in the Ail-American boys baseball game to be played on Wrigley field in Chicago in August. A great thing for a boy to achieve and in my estimation the greatest honor ever achieved by a Bingham athlete. Being one of the 24 boys picked in the U.S. to play in this game is indeed a honor. Billy will see several big league games and a professional football game and be really entertained en-tertained while in Chicago with all his expenses paid. I feel very proud of being his coach for he has been a boy who has been a treat to coach and I am certainly certain-ly happy for him. A great honor to Bingham, and baseball, as a I sport has made this possible to ' j a boy of our wonderful commu- ! nity. Luck to you Billy. The Copperton Lions is another an-other Junior team that is well organized and playing great baseball daily. The Bingham American Legion Le-gion team will play the Magna j team on July 4th in the after-' I noon as the feature attraction of j I the Magna Fourth of July cele- j ! bration. The game will start at 2:00 p.m. This Friday evening we play Midvale here at 5:00 p.m. |
