Show Sports Here and There by Al Abletf Magna, the most amazing team in the Industrial league, is on top by virtue of beating Provo Wednesday night 6 to 4. Just shows what one man can do for a team. Bud Powers transferred from Helper to Magna, and the Millmen started to move. Bud is a take charge guy and he can make that play out there. Pete Radulovich has been getting a lot of mileage out of his pitching staff that is composed of a couple of youngsters and two oldsters. McFarlane is the young man that has been shouldering the burden, but Sammy Oliver and Lief Erickson were the two veterans that took care of Provo. Coors of Denver beat Helper in a two game series for the regional re-gional championship and the right to go to Wichita to the national na-tional tournament. Coors has a good team but a couple of errors at the wrong time is all that kept Helper from copping the duke in both games. Bruce Knoppa, j the former Philadelphia A's first baseman, was the big gun for Coors. He hit three home runs in the two games, two of them with the bases full. Billy Ley, the Denver shortstop, - was hospitalized hos-pitalized in Grand Junction, ! when he came down with con- j vulsions. Billy is sought after by several big league teams. They also have Cicottia, a nephew of the great Eddie Cicottia of Black Sox fame. A fine looking young pitcher this boy. A grand bunch of fellows and we wish them luck in the national. American Fork and Magna (Continued on page eight) SPORTS HERE ' AND THERE by Al Ablett j (Continued from oaee one) . meet in a showdown game at the Forkers field tonight (Friday).
