Their outfield is not up to par and their pitching u far from what is desired. But the boys are determined to fight right through to the finish. The four Bingham playground teams that entered the boys' county baseball tournament at Murray lost their games but had a great time and gained a lot of experience. Canyon Motor, after a great seventh inning rally de-feated Tim's Hamburgers 8 to 7. Elva Ruth was defeated by Bluff-dal- e 9-- Copperfield Eagle.-- , lost to the Salt Lake Charioteers 9-- 1 and BDAA lost to Salt Lake 9-- Our boys were all smaller than the boys on the oth-- 1 er teams and much younger but they had a great time and they enjoyed this well planned coun-- ; ty baseball tournament.

The county recreation depart-ment is also planning an invi-tational baseball tournament for: all boys teams in the county and state to be held at Magna on or about the 11th of August. This tournament will be for all teams of boys 17 years of age and un-der. The county recreation depart-ment has made all efforts to get fish to put over Huck Finn days at Sandy, Union, Holladay and Bingham. But it has not been possible to get the fish from the state fish and game. However, they are trying their best to see if they can eventually secure enough fish for us so we will have to wait and see just what we can do.

Sports Here and There by Al Ablett One hundred years old today (Thursday). Yes, today is Utah's birthday But little did that band of hardy pioneers realize as they gazed down upon thus great Salt Lake valley that some day on the playing fields that were to be cars ed out of this wilderness would come some of America's greatest athletes. In baseball, Salt Lake saw the start of careers that were to write their names high on the scroll of honor. Earl Shelley, one of the greats at first base. Tony Laz-ari- a, yes the fabulous "push 'em up Tony'' started with the old Salt Lake Bees, in the coast lea-gue Claud "Lefty" Williams, one of baseballs great left banders. But Lefty 'couldn't stand the temptation to make some easy money, so sold out in the world series of 1919 and was forever barred from the game. "Lefty" Vernon Gomez, one of the great pitchers on the Yan-kees Jugunots of 1926-2- Lefty has the distinction of never hav-ing lost a world series game and I think he pitched eight of them. Eddie Mulligan, a fast man with ' a buck. Eddie saved his money and is today the owner of the Salt Lake franchise in the Pio-neer league. Duffy Lewis, Cort Davis of the old day. Native born comes "Dusty" Rhodes, Kent D. Adams, Herman Franks, Ed Husser and Fred San-for- d In football we had Frank Christensen, Jack Johnson, Dick Howell, Pete Dow, McDonagne, all of these boys played for the university, then on into the pro ranks. Milt Romney who was all American at Chicago university when Alonzo Stagg was turning out great teams on the midway. His brother, Dick, who coaches the Aggies, was one of the out-standing men in service football of the first world war. As many others that at the moment slips our mind. In basketball Utah has won two national championships and one AAU. With such men as the Wilkerson brothers who played with Utah then went on to star at Iowa U., Arnie Ferrin, twice all American, Vern Gardner, all American last year tjnd picked as the outstanding player in Madison Square Garden's tour-nament. Yes this hot bed of bas-ketball has turned out some great ones. In boxing we had Jack Demp-sey- , champion of champions, need we say more? Wrestling, there was Ira Dern and Stanley Yukuni. Golfing there was Gix Von Elm, national amateur cham-pion. In track there was Con Richardson and "Buck" Grant. I guess I have missed a hun-dred, but these were some of the best that were either born here or got their start here in this very valley that a hundred years ago today was a vast desert of sagebrush and sand. So to those great people that had the cour-age to brave the unknown, so that they n,:ght have freedom to live their lives as they saw fit, we owe a department of gratit-ude that we can only pay by playing the game fair and for all it is worth. Hope you all live to see the next centennial and never die. AL COMMUNITY METHODIST CHURCH Sunday School at 10:00 a in. Church service at 11:00 a m.
