Rain has hampered our base-ball playground at Copperton during the past two weeks. On the days that it has been possible to hold it we have had well over 125 boys daily. Our largest crowd SO far has been 168 boys and just as soon as it will lie possible to keep our play going regularly our attendance will increase and our play will become more ex-tensive. I would like at this time to have all girls in our community who are interested in playing Softball to think over the possi-- ! bility of organizing a four or six girls softball league to play on the Bingham playground in low- - er Bingham daily. I will call a meeting a little later of all girls, perhaps we can find sponsors for each team. J. C. Penney is sponsoring a team on the playground daily. Chris KatLs and Ferdinand Flor-e- s are in charge and they are keeping their club hustling and lighting. The Bingham police force are also sponsoring a team of boys from the Carr Fork and Upper Bingham area. Louis Saldivar and Joseph Nichols are two boys who are in charge of this squad. The Copperton boys have en-tered three teams in the play-ground league- The Copperton Eagles, Copperton Lions and Copperton Cubs. All have boys who are good baseball players and who are striving to keep their clubs out in front. Frogtown has entered two teams, the Frogtown Bees and the Frogtown Juniors. Both groups are good teams. The Bingham Cardinals are a group of young boys who an hit-ting the ball hard and playing great baseball in the Pewee lea-gue. The Bingham Post No. 30 Am-erican Legion team dropped its first practice game 12-1- 1 to Brig-ha- City American Legion Post in a night game.

O B.D.A.A. FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp Somebody should do something about this weather. Fishing sea-son opens tomorrow, and the darn fish will be so wet nobody will be able to get a rise out of 'em. Softball games have been played in blizzards and the boys are preparing to petition our congressmen about the inconven-ience of such inclement ele-ments. Must be doing somebody some good though if its gotta rain, let 'er rain. The revised softball schedule got underway last Tuesday with Lark eaking out a win over the Eagles 8 to 7. A & M overcame a determined drive by the Lions to emerge victorious 9 to 6 as the Firemen defeated Copperton 8-- 5. The new entry, U. S. Mines, drew a bye the first round. The games scheduled for Thursday were postponed until drier weather. The Lions and Copperton will play at 6 p.m. Friday. The special meeting called for Thursday night, June 12, brought together the business men and association members interested in promoting amateur baseball again in our locality. With in-terest high, a successful enter-prise is looked forward to and we hope a definite answer can be soon made public. ALLEY ANGLES The fellows who put the old bowling ball up on the shelf at the first signs of warm weather are still firing the agate down the alleys. Perhaps the weather has them foiled. It is nearly sum-- , mer you know (proven by cal-- 1 endar). A summer league is in the offing and the keglers are anxious to keep in shape.

The public is cordially invited enjoy the service. Rev. A- L. Norfleet O Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Monsoon season has set in.. Rain has caused the postpone-ment of almost every sports ev-ent the past week. In the Indus trial league Provo got m two games and won them both Beat-ing Brigham City 8 to 5 Sunday and Helper Wednesday night 6 to 3. Don't see how anyone can stop them for the first half. Salt Lake in the Pioneer lea-gue looks like a shoo-i- n for the first half. In the Big league it is a dog fight. In the American, Detroit is out in front but one game and the Yankees with Joe DiMaggio showing the way at the plate are making it tough. But their are four teams that can win, maybe five. Be-sides the two teams mentioned above, there are Boston Red Sox, Cleveland and of all people the Philadelphia Athletics. Yes, Con-ni- e Mack has a good young club. Great pitching and with Ferris Fain coming through for him at first they are going good. In the National it is a real fight. The Cards 1 am afraid have lost too much ground. The Giants have great hitting but I doubt if their pitching can hold up. The Cubs have a veteran club and that might be the answer down the stretch. My club us still the Braves if they can come up with a good relief pitcher. Brooklyn might have found the answer in young Taylor. He has pitched two good games his last two times out. But with Reese out for very long I don't see how they can make it. Wouldn't it be something if last year's two tail enders met in this years world series, namely the Giants and Athletics. Don't be surprised. On June 20 and 21 at the Utah stadium the greatest track men in the country will gather for the NCAA national meet. With men running the hundred in 9.4 and pole vaulting over 14 feet the fans of Utah are in for a treat. Then in golf we have the Wes-tern Open. On these short cours-es I shudder to think of the scores. Most of the big pros will be pitching and putting. Babe; Zaharias did what no other Am-- 1 erican woman has ever been able to do before, win the British Wo-men's amateur golf champion-ship. Babe was out driving most of them by a 100 yards. She is without a doubt the greatest wo-man athlete in history. The All-St- game at Ogden will be played on June 23, wea-ther permitting. See you in a row boat or on snow shoes. AL One of Utah's more promising prep athletes won't be present when the roll is called at Utah State, Utah U. or Brigham Young university this fall. Jack Knudsen, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Knudsen of Copper-ton- , baseball pitcher, football fullback and basketball center for Bingham Miners said Tues-day he planned to enroll at The Hills preparatory school in Pen-nsylvania this fall, preparatory' to enrolling at Princeton univer-sity in 1948.
