Mayor C. A. "Spud" Morley O BINGHAM NINE WINS LEGION REGIONAL TITLE Traditional rivals, Bingham and Midvale, closed one of the most spirited seasons in Salt Lake county American Legion junior baseball, with George Dimas' Bingham nine edging out an 8-- 6 win in a thriller played on the Magna diamond. The win gave the Bingham post the opportunity to meet the Salt Lake City district winner in a two out of three play-of- f series. Friday's contest was the rub-ber game between the two teams, each having won one. After nine innings of play the two teams remained in a 4-- 4 deadlock. The marathon tilt ne-cessitated turning on the lights in the Magna park to finish the afternoon contest. Lefty Marion Cowdell went all the way for the winners, as did losing chucker, Bill Shields. Cowdell won his own ball game in the 14th by banging out a double to score Clair Rager. Cowdell then came home on an error for the eighth run. In the two out of three play- - off series between the Salt Lake City district winner, Sugar I1 House-Pett- y, and Bingham posts, the Binghamites lost the first game Tuesday to the Sugar House post 17-- 5. The second ; game of the series between the two teams was played at Bing- - ham last night (Thursday). A third game if needed, will be played Saturday at Magna be- - tween the two clubs. Outcome of the series will clinch berths in the state American Legion junior baseball tournament. O BASEBALL PLAYGROUND by Bailey J. Santistevan, Area Director Baseball playground is coming down the home stretch now with little over two weeks of play re-maining. The third quarter is now being completed and cham-pions in three leagues will be crowned after single elimination tournaments take place the last week. The midget group on the play-ground are really having a great time. Frankie Moyeda, Charles Gonzales, Elery Vigil and Dan Flores are the big guns on the Golden Stars bunch and will be future players in days to come. Two boys returning to our playground this year from Wash-ington are Jimmy and Joe Ro-bertson. These boys are with us every day and are polished ball players. The Bosox are still leading the league for the big boys as Dick Houghton and John Mitch-ell are hitting and fielding well for this club. Nick Rekoutis and Filameno Ochoa are new comers with us and with a little effort towards baseball they should be good players. Next Wednesday the Bosox from Bingham will play Sandy, winners of Jordan area Major league at the Sandy Junior high The winner of this game will play in the finals of the County Major league tournament. The champion of the county will meet the city champion later in the month. B.D.A.A FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp BINGHAM TRIPS MAGNAI PLAY LEADERS TONIGHTI The BDAA entry in the Utah Industrial baseball league, final-ly got back in the win column Tuesday night, as they shellack-ed the Magna-Garfiel- d Millmen 10 to 3, behind the brilliant pitching of Ray Stuckenschneid-e- r and fine relief work of Geo-rge Trejo. Alter spotting the Magna squad three unearned runs, the locals broke lose to jump ahead 4 to 3 in' the eight innings, and shelled veteran Lief Erickson for 6 hits and 6 runs in the top of the ninth. Ray was relieved in the top of the eighth for a base runner, af-ter a very nice mound chore, and reliefer Trejo shut the door in the Millmen's faces the rest of the way. PLAY PROVO HERE TONITE Bingham plays host to the league- -leading Provo Timps tonight at Copperton in an 8:15 game. Provo has played sensational ball all during the seecond half, losing only one game and win-ning six. Several new additions to the Timps' roster has chang-ed the first half cellar dwellers into the hottest club in the cir-cuit, and the locals will have to go all out to stop the Timps' determined drive for second half honors. Manager Zaccaria will likely start his ace right hander, Vic Stuckenschneider, but has Trejo, Poulsen or Furlong to strut their stuff, if needed. SOFTBALL SLANTS The wild and wooly game on Donkeys drew a tremendous crowd to the softball arena last Sunday night, and the fans were treated to some fine rodeo per-formances by the local cowboys. Spills and thrills were going on every minute, and we believe the players and fans alike, got and "kicks" out of a lot of fun the darn fool thing. STILL TIEDl Huntsman's Chevrolet and Princess Theatre remained tied for first in the BDAA softball defeated the chase, as Princess and eked out a 5 Eagles 5 to 1, to 4 decision over Gemmell club 5 to 4. while Huntsman's wallop-pe- d A & M 17 to 6. Gemmell and the Eagles each took a turn against Highland 3 and 10 to Boy and won 13 to 7 respectively. Second half play is settling down to a duel between the top two teams, and some interest ng games will be on docket for the remainder of the half. PUMPS FORCE WATER FROM LARKTUNNEL Pumping operations were con-tinued Saturday morning at the United States Smelting Refining and Mining Co Lark mine after a delay Friday caused by power failures due to an electrical storm. The pumps are being used to clear some 15 ft. of water from the 1000 foot level of the Lark shaft so the search for three miss ing miners can continue. Missing are Clyde Augustson, 41; Robert G. Meyerhoffer, 37, and Leland D. Nielsen, 37. Bod-ies of two miners were recovered from the Mascotte tunnel July 17th. O Sports Here and There by Al Ablett The heat is on in both Major leagues as the teams come into the last two months of the sea-son. In the American, Detroit has been able up to now at least to win the key games. They took the Yankees the first two of this present series. The last one with one of their second string pitch-ers. Rolph started White on a hunch and he came through. But my guess is just like it was in the beginning, Cleveland, if Easter hits and he is hitting. With Doby going great guns and Rosen and Easter helping with that long ball. Those Cleveland pitchers will be rough from here in. In the National I picked the Phillies and it still holds. Ennis has snapped out of it and with Sisler having a big year along with the comeback of Waitkus and Ashburn, they have a good solid club to go with those great young pitchers, Miller and Church are really coming thru. Roberts continues to improve and this year Simmons has paid off for that $61,000 bonus. But the army got young Curt. May be able to stay with the team until the finish. Brooklyn's pitch ing is uncertain, but they have a great team. The Cards are rough campaigners and with great pitching and Musial and Slaughter it will be a dog fight right down to the wire. Our own Industrial league has set a crazy pattern this second half. Just when a team starts to look good they will get knocked off. Provo in the first half could-n't win a game but they are on top in the second half. Lob Col- - lins has them winning. Must be doing it with mirrors. Our own club are having their ups and downs. One night they look like world beaters and the next they come loose at the seams. Our American Legion team lost to Sugar House in the first : game of the district play-of- f. : But this Lefty Cowdell looks like a comer. Young Jerry La- - Comb looks good up at the plate as does several of the other boys. Eddie Gaythwaite has been con-verted into a catcher and I think with a little experience Eddie will do all right. Sanchez is an-other of the older boys on the club that looks good. Ours as a whole, is a young club with most of Ihern having a couple of years more in Legion ball. Sugar House has a pair of great kid pitchers in Bithell and Bills. Both of them can throw awful hard. They play again tonight (Thursday) and Saturday in Magna if necessary. See you next week, AL NOTE OF APPRECIATION We wish to express our deep appreciation to the business firms and citizens for their fine spirit of cooperation in the Clean Up, Paint-U- p campaign to keep Bingham Canyon a beeter place in which to live.
