Santistevan Salt Lake County Spruce lodge was the big affair for the baseball base-ball playground last week and what an affair it was; softbail games, field events, hiking trips, a visit to Brighton, fishing and singing sessions, a birthday party par-ty held in honor of Warren Sum-nicht Sum-nicht and. plenty of food for everyone. ev-eryone. About fifty boys took the trip and everyone had a great time. A special thanks from the boys for making the trip so successful suc-cessful goes to Harold W. Nielsen who drove the bus and Harold Chesler and Earl T. James for presenting prizes for the field events and for giving the boys a big breakfast Friday morning. We all appreciated it very much. Now going on with a little baseball dope, the playground had as visitors this last week, boys from Lark. In the first game the Lark Cubs lost a battle to out , Bingham Browns. All the Browns played well as Kenneth Augi-t-son, catcher; and Joe Medley lor Lark, did themselves well. In the second game the A and M crew bettered the Lark Sky-Larks 11-20. 11-20. It was the first time this year the Lark crew played with boys about their age and they showed thev could handle themselves well. Big guns for Lark were Jack Sandstrom, first baseman, Clyde Augustson, at second, Wal-ly Wal-ly Bear pitcher and Ken Peterson Peter-son at short-stop. In our league standings the third quarters ended with new champs in two leagues. In the Senior league the defending champs of last year, Canyon Motor, Mo-tor, finally came to life and tooK the quarter. Max Sluga, a nice looking hitter and fielder, John Dee Mitchell, a outfield corner,! and hustling Dean Lipsey bolster the club. In the Junior league the A and M boys were bested by the Copperton Cop-perton Stars for this quarter. Helping to keep their club undefeated un-defeated this quarter were two nice looking lads, Larry Stillman at third and Van Sutherland in the outfield. The only team to repeat as a three time winner was the Bingham Bing-ham Browns. Good hitting, fielding field-ing and the consistency of the boys on the playground keeps this squad on top. This is the end of the line from vour playground news and we will see you all at Huck Finn Day Monday, August 1st at Murray Mur-ray park. Third Quarter Standings Senior League W. L.
