B.D.A.A. FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp " - BINGHAM KEGLERS GO INTO LEAD AT SOUTHEAST The local pin artists, who last week were tied with Scott In-vestment for top spot in the fast Southside Classic league at took undisputed hold of the number one position by trouncing Wally's Flowers all four as the investment crew drop-ped three to Comet Inn. "Bowlin" Bill. Ablett, fast rounding into shape after a forc-ed lay-of- f, splattered 626 pins into the pits to lead the Bingham team to their four wins and a 3015 series. The two low men have to buy malts after each session in this league, but both were happy to do it, as only a few pins separated the high from the low as the following scores show: G. Abplanalp 169 200 246 615 .T Ahnlnnaln 10ft 170 21 KR4 B. Ablett .... 219 220 187 626 G. Sluga 223 182 194 599 P. Slotte 182 221 188 591 Total 991 993 1031 3015 BDAA Travellers in the Ma-jor circuit continued their drive with four wins over Western Optical at the Temple lanes. Your scribe went slightly berserk as he rolled games of 225, 213, 251 for an astonishing 689 total, and as consciousness returned the locals had four points and a 2892 series. Tourney play will hold the interest of the ten-pi- n fraternity next month as the annual state tournament gets underway from the 13th to 21st at the Temple alleys. Earlier in the month the famed mock Ritz classic takes place as a warm up for the state tourney and the ever popular Ritz Classic to be held early in April.' BDAA BASKETBALL Bing, Bong, Bell. It's seven wins and not even one can tell how those sharp shootin Tooele caeers are going to dron a decis- - ion in the BDAA casaba scram-ble. Pouring the old leather through the nets in monotonous regular-ity, the Tooele crew ran away from Midvale in the second half to convince the crowd of their championship aspirations. Cer-ron- i, the '.hin man" had the spheroid doing all sorts of tricks as he dunked several very spec-tacular shots in garnering 16 points. The half ended 21-1- 9 for the Tooele crew, but an avalanche of baskets put the winners far out front. In the opener, the Shamrocks pulled out of a tough skirmish with the Redskins 41-3- 5 as knky B. Goris came through in fine style to collect scoring honors for the evening as he pushed in 23 counters. Frank, the Redskin marksman, garnered 17 to lead the Braves, who haven't won a game but are still trying. The game between Standard Garage and the Bingham Miners had everything but a touchdown and a ten count, as these two rivals put on a ding-don- g affair. J. Kallen dunked 14 for the Min-ers as the speedy Lopez kept the Garage boys in the see-sa- w bat-tle with 11. The score in this one changed hands several times and was tied five times but the Min-ers drew away in the closing minutes to win 41-3- 4. With only three more games on docket, looks like the Tooele quint is in, but an upset can1 hap-pen and the other teams are not conceding a thing. Good crowds have attended these games, bet-ter come out. Next Week's Schedule Monday, March 1 6:30, Stan-dard Garage vs Bingham Red-skins; 7:30, Midvale vs Bingham Miners; 8:30, Tooele vs Sham-rocks. Our high school hoopslers play their final league game to-night (Friday) against the Cow-pok- es from Grantsville. Have your cards handy and get down early. r jjSEPH J. CROW -- RITES IN SALT jLAKECITY TODAY - 1 services for Joseph e; Crow, 63, retired Kenne-ons- ;t A Corp, Utah Copper ' Lion miner, who died Tues-- I at his home in Copperfield f I? lingering illness, will be 'ub7?jductcd today (Friday) at 1 'zh4 in St. Paul's Episcopal --Jc'ii-ch 2fil South 9th East, Salt jt'a,, city, with Rev. Mortimer JChester officiating. )05' friends may call at Bingham U"mdhuary Friday morning until 1 1($ m. Interment will be in Mt. eel I Olivet cemetery, Salt Lake City un4 'i direction of Bingham mor- - LJtuiy. iRfi fir Crow was born October vJ 1U 1884 at Ross Head, Ulverston, Iui Idiashire, England, a son of I jj, ph and Elizabeth Ann Horns-m- i WCrow. While a young man he I cati" t0 tne United States, com-- I ina first to Bingham Canyon and op.", gofr.g to Nevada where he wor-k's edf in different mines. 4 Ht married Mary Jane Ander-ry- f : I at Ely, Nev., September 19, I 1 17. He then came to Bingham CJpyon and has resided here I t'.xe that time. ;I He was employed in the blast-- g I department and was a ma-- ? Inist in that department at the I e of his retirement six months Survivors include his widow, jCffliperfield; and five step dau- - gfiL'rs of the Bingham Canyon arta; his mother, one sister and f four brothers, all of Lancashire, I lifiland. I i o Sports Here and There by Al Ablett I missed on the Utah-BY- U game, but it looked for a time as though Arnie Ferrin was go-ing to pull the Utes out all by himself. Joe Weight was the fair haired boy for the Y. This boy who all season long had been just another good ball player reached the heights in this game. Joe not only scored 20 points but his shooting made it possible for Nelson to score 9 of his 11 points in the .second half. You ask me how was that? Well, Ferrin had stopped Nelson dead in the first half allowing the league's high point man ex-actly one field goal. Then Weight got hot, Arnie had to try and stop him, so Nelson got loose in the second half for nine points. So it was just a case of too many good men against one really great one. Gardner, the big Ute center, played but his ankle was any-thing but good his coach report-ed that he played the last half on nerve alone. Still Vern was better than anything Peterson had on the bench. Coach Millet of the Y kept pouring them in and everyone of the Y boys looked good. Randy Clark is just about one of the best guards and play makers that has come along in a long time. But when you think of ball players you come right back to Ferrin. The thin man played a game that will go down in Utah basketball history. He was all over the floor, intercepting passes, sweeping both backboards and besides this scored 26 points. The score was BYU 55, Utah 51. The Y team is ineligible to represent the Sky Line confer-ence in the NCAA tournament because Brady Walker is a five year man. So it will be between Utah and Denver and that will be settled this Saturday night at the universty field house. Boxing in Salt Lake received another blackeye last Monday when Remo Polidori of Tooele put Berger away in the first round. Berger was given a big build up as a boy who had fought all of the best middle weights in the country, and had more than held his own. In the Poli-dori fight he never threw a punch. So they looked his record up and it showed the guy had been knocked out so much he thought rosin was face powder. His manager gave out stories his boy having fought Bell-ois- e and all of the good middle weights and the sport writers in Salt Lake took the bait like hungry fish. So what happens after the fight, they publish his record, and the fan yells "now he tells me" and rightfully so. Sure newspaper men have been fooled before but not by some-thing where all you have to do is write and get a man's record. Boxing will come back in Utah to stay when the promoters start making an honest effort to pro-tect their customers. The bowling alleys in the club will be open next week, after being down for a month for re-conditioning and the bowling starved keglers of Bingham will surely keep them hot. See you around the town pump. AL. FISH AND GAME HIGHUGHTC The state fish and game de-partment reported today that thawing weather caused them to lose all but 11 of the 130 head of antelope they had in their trap. The trap was set up in the Glade, a mountain rimmed valley val-ley about 10 miles east of Man-ila, Utah. The fence posts were set in frozen ground and when the. weather changed, the ground was so softened that the posts gave away when the whole herd charged one side of the enclos-ure. The trapping experience indi-cated, however, that the trap was ideally located and of the proper basic design. The fence will be reset and strengthened this unimer and another attempt to trap will be made in Novem-ber. The ice has gone out of the Green River so that It is impos-sible to get back into the Glade until late spring or early sum-mer. Trapping operations at this time would interfere with the antelopes' fawning activities. The eleven antelope that were captured were planted on the rim of the Escalante desert about 15 miles north of Iron Springs. The Hardware ranch in Black-smith Fork canyon, an experi-mental area for game feeding operated by the fish and game department, is proving its' worth in keeping elk out of the farm-ers' orchards. Director Ross Leonard said there were about 350 head of elk, onfy about 14 of which were big bulls, on the ranch during his tour. He said that almost every cow had a nine months calf with her. "We made the 6,000 acre ranch into a feeding place for elk in an effort to attract the big game herds from the valuable foothills in the Cache valley region. We have carried out a feeding pro-gram there this winter and to date have managed to keep elk pretty well on state property, eliminating much of the trouble with private land interests," he said. A Mona sportsman, Clark Molyneaux, bagged two of the banded crows this week Nos. 271 and 272, in the statewide crow and magpie derby. The bands were worth $5 each. Molyneaux was hunting the big black birds in the fields near Mona when he made the catch. He reported he was surprised to see the band on the first one, and when the second one fell, he couldn't believe ut. This raises to seven the total of banded crows taken in the derby so far all of them five-buc- k birds. One magpie has been shot. All of the big money birds are still on the wing; the big crow, No. 234, being worth well over $1,000 in cash and merch-andise prizes at this date. V HEALTH NEWS Five hundred and thirty one cases of notifiable diseases were reported to the state department of health by physicians and local health officers for the week end-ing February 20. For the pre-vious week this year, 382 cases were reported and 282 for the corresponding week last year. Outstanding in this report are the 36 resident cases of cancer (all malignant tumors) reported during the current week, making this the peak cancer week since the disease was first made re-portable in December, 1946. In-cluding the cases this week, there have been 42 cases reported since the first of the year. Last year (1947), 553 cases of cancer were reported. We do not believe that the above listing represents 100 per cent reporting of cancer cases by any means, but on the other hand, it is highly encouraging to note the marked improvement during the past few weeks. The fallowing is a list of all reportable diseases for the week: chickenpox, 136; influenza, 80; measles, 35; German measles, 5; mumps, 127; pneumonia, 13; scar-let fever, 22; tuberculosis, 5; un-dula- nt fever, 2; whooping cough, 53; gonorrhea, 8; syphilis, 11; rheumatic fever, 3; and cancer, (resident), 36, (nonresident), 6. RED CROSS DRIVE BEGINSJMARCH 1 The annual Red Cross fund ap-peal of the Salt Lake County chapter, American Red Cross, begins Monday, March 1, and continues throughout March, W. A. Huckins, general chairman of the fund committee, has announ-ced. An army of volunteer work-ers will begin the task of raising $130,000 by public subscription. Harvey Cundick, manager of the J. C. Penney store in Mid-val- e, is chairman for Salt Lake County outside of Salt Lake City. This year's quota compares with $137,000 raised in' 1947. All of the many services of the Red Cross in the years past will be retained in 1948, Mr. Huckins announced, and in addition the Red Cross has begun the develop-ment of its blood program, where-by in a few years whole blood, blood plasma and blood deriva-tives will be furnished free to all the public. No charge will be made except the medical charge for administering it. Salt Lake county is being investigated as a possible blood center. Charges for blood from professional dor nors ranges from $25.00 to $50.00 per pint. The Red Cross Relief work in disaster will continue as it has in the past. In the last few weeks it has been called in the great floods in the midwest. The vet-eran who was served on the bat-tlefield during the war is still being served in the hospital, the home and on foreign service.
