Show V Sports Here and There by Al Ablett At last the rains came. Last Tuesday the American Legion team journeyed to Provo to start play in the elimination tournament tourna-ment for the state championship and when the smoke cleared a-way, a-way, the local boys had won 10 to 8, making their 13th straight win. That my friends is quite a record, I don't care if you arc-playing arc-playing the school for the blind. Jack Ki.udsen was on the mound for Bingham, and the big blond boy had the only off day I've seen him have. He had fair stuff but was wild. He was opposed by Johnnie Brown, one of Provo's outstanding athletes. Our boys were away off in their fielding, I guess they missed the rocks. They play Ogden next The tournament is being run a little different this year. The elimination starts before the tournament tour-nament proper. If Bingham should beat Ogden they will go into the tournament without a loss, while Ogden and Provo will have one defeat apiece chalked up against them. That means that if they lose a game in the tournament proper they will be eliminated, while Bingham would have to lose twice before being sent home. You see Utah has more teams playing this year than ever before. be-fore. Great thing this baseball for boys. Again I want to say that this community isn't backing back-ing our team the way it should. What say we do something about this. In the Industrial league Provo, Helper and Murray are all making determined bids for the second half. At Helper Manager Man-ager Zaccaria has another Bingham boy playing second base. He is George Dimas of the Bingham high school team. In the game last Sunday George Geo-rge looked great. Hit a couple and handled himself in the field like a veteran. They are picking an Industrial league team to oppose the Bees in a benefit game. What is your choice? Here is mine: Sid Kramer Kram-er of Midvale and Radulvich of Pinney, catchers; Owen of Brig-ham Brig-ham City on first, Wilson of Provo Pro-vo on second; Moesser, Magna short stop; Cowley of Brigham City, third base; Zaccaria and Sluga of Helper and Rod Knight of Midvale in the outfield; Erick-son Erick-son of Magna, McConnell from Brigham City, Ford of Provo, pitchers; Roldo Call of Magna utility infielder and Anderson of Pinney extra outfielder. Now for the arguments. The Bees have strengthened for the second half. Willie Enos and Proveido for the outfield and Powell, a left hander, for the mound. Cpl. Enos is not a new comer to Salt Lake fans, having been with the team in '42. Played Play-ed with Frisco last couple of years. Willie can hit. Don't know anything about Powell and Proveido, Pro-veido, but they come highly recommended re-commended by baseball men. See you next week, AL. |
