ATHLETICS DOWN MAGNA 7-4: LOSE TO TIMPS 6-3 At Magna last Sunday BDAA Athletics took a 7 to 4 decision from the home nine in a benefit game for young Gary Archibald. Lefty DeCol hurled a fine game, striking out nine opposing hitters hit-ters and showing a lot of improvement im-provement over past starts. The locals turned in a well played defensive game and bunched hits for their seven runs. The BDAA players and manager donated their time and services for this game and were proud to help the fans give this fine youth a new start. Wednesday, BDAA lost a close one to the Provo Timps at the hitter's park 6 to 3. The Timps chased over three runs in the first inning, but the game settled into a pitchers battle for the remaining re-maining frames as Poulsen, Bing ham hurler, held the Timps slug- ' gers well in check. Bingham tied up the game in the fifth on a walk to Poulsen, a sacrifice by Brown, a Timp error, a single by Crump after Green had walked and a single by Knudsen. Crump was thrown out on a close play at home and Ray lofted a long drive to deep center to end the local's uprising. After five scoreless score-less stanzas the Timps chased over one run in the 7th and 2 in the last frame as Hankier, who relieved Morgan in the fifth, held the locals to two bingles. BDAA outplayed the Timp nine defensively defen-sively but just couldn't punch over runs with men on base. Boren, Crump, Brown and Green turned in sparkling fielding plays to assist Poulsen in his fine hurling hur-ling chore. Bingham plays host to Magna here Sunday August 7 in the last of a double feature and will meet Brigham City at Copperton on Thursday, August 11.
