Santistevan, Area Director Enthusiasm is hitting a high point it the baseball playground with the fourth quarter just completed and playground tournaments in store the remain-der of the year. Double elimina-tion tournaments will be played off in three leagues with four teams in eacn league participati-ng. There will be some good ball playing in these tournaments. Parents and friends of the boys are invited to come and visit us and see their kids in action. In league play the Seniors were again dominated by the Bosox club. They show a per-fect record this quarter and a lot of this is due to their catcher, Merlin Coleman, shortstop Sun-ny Robertson and their big right fielder, Pete Furgis. In the Junior league there was a change in standings as Beck-stead- 's Tigers took the third quarter in place of the Copper-to- n bunch. Becksteads is com-posed of Copperfield boys and are on the playground every-day with a full squad as Mike Gonzales and Joe Costillo are managers and do most of the squad's pitching. In the Popsicle league the Gi-ants lost their first game but still ran away with the quarter. Ruban Gallegos is really the hus-tler of the squad with Jerry and Dallas Hakanson getting long hits which account for a lot of their runs. The bat boy of the week on the playground goes to little Wayne Harrison. Wayne is a blonde-haire- d kid, seven years old, coming from Bingham and takes care of the keys to pic-ture box. In the county tournaments the Bosox of the major league beat Sandy 11-- 5 and the right to meet Holladay for the county crown and a chance to play the city champs. In the game with San-dy, Clair Rager pitched most of the game with relief help from Marion Cowdell. Trigger b got the thrill of the game by knocking a ball over the left field fence at Sandy with two mates aboard. The final will be played at Bingham probably on the 15th of this month. The old timers league in the county was taken by Bingham with few teams competing. The Bingham squad will play the city champs in the near future. This squad is composed of boys 17 and 18 years old.
