Show Sports Here and There by Al Alt leu The boys got over Murray 32 to 26, last Friday on the Murray floor, with Knudsen again the big gun. This big fellow is getting get-ting to be a great ball player. The boys were ragged in spots, ! but when the chips were down they came through like champions. champ-ions. At one time they were leading by eleven points, but the Smelter boys got hot and pulled up almost even. That is where ; the Miners went to work. With j Stillman and Knudsen finding the range the locals went ahead I again to stay. The locals play the Grantsville Cowboys on the Copperton floor tonight and they are going to have to be on to win this one. The Cowboys took the strong Tooele five last week by one point and they did it Ihe hard way. They have a fairly big team and carry plenty of speed. I think the Miners will win, but I will settle for three points. What the Wyoming Cowboys did to the Redskins from Utah, was worse than the Dutch did to the Indians when they bought Manhattan island for a dollar six bits. Komnich, Sailors and company com-pany rang up a 65-45 win, with ivimmicn scoring Jb points himself. him-self. Experts say Milo gave as good a one man shooting exhibition exhi-bition as they have ever seen. There wasn't a man on the Utah squad that could come close to stopping him- Sailors looks better bet-ter than he did before going in-: to the navy, if that's possible. The Cowboys play Oklahoma 1 Aggies this week-end and the winner of this set should go a-long a-long ways toward the national : championship. Should be a great duel between the nation's two top centers, Kommich and Kur-land. Kur-land. I pick Wyoming because besides the great center they have Wier, and Sailors. I don't think there is another team in the country that can match these three. The Salt Lake Golden Glove team made a good showing over in Denver. Two of the boys went to the finals. One winning and one losing. Houck, the lightweight, light-weight, won by a knockout, and Victor Roblez, the Bingham boy, lost by a knockout- Victor met j I a boy by the name of Hogan 1 from Fort Warren. This colored boy hasn't lost a fight since go-1 ing into the army. Vic hasn't j i done any boxing for some time, and Hogan was just too strong j for him. Boxing lost one of its really strong men this week when John ! I J. Phelan passed away. Phelan ; , has been on the New York com-1 ; mission since the Walker law j ! was passed legalizing the sport j in that state. Everyone knew Jie was honest and in the box4ig game around New York that meant something. Baseball is making the news. 5 The Pioneer league has their! meeting in Salt Lake this week and everything is set to go- All the teams are tied up with some club in leagues of higher classification. classi-fication. Boise was the last to make a connection with Seattle. Salt Lake has tied up with the New York Giants. i j Bob Feller will probably be ; the highest paid player in the! game this year. Some say his contract calls for $40,000. Not bad for a man without a horse. ' See you next week, AL. i |
