First defeat of the season for the Min-ers was the 8 to 5 loss last Thurs-day to Judge Memorial. Monday, April 18 the Bingham nine plays Murray at Murray. Next home game for the Miners will be Thursday, April 21 when they encounter Judge Memorial on the Copperton field. Games start at 4:30 p.m. RUNAWAY TRAIN ATKENNECOTT SUNDAY NOON Quick thinking by control tow-er operators Monday was credit-ed with saving the lives of a "number of Copperton rail yard employes" when a 1500-to- n ore train raced out of control down a mountainside Sunday. Kennecott Copper Corp. offic-ials said operators, William Ab-lett and J. L. Murano cooperated in derailing the thundering mass of steel and ore from the Bing-ham open cut mine before it ploughed ot speed through the center of the Copperton yards where the men were at work. Two rail employes on the line who were riding the train were injured however. They were Wil-liam H. Harper, 60, Midvale, the engineer, who suffered a sprain-ed knee and lacerations, and Moyle Stock, 31, Bingham, brake-ma- n, received a dislocated ankle and shoulder and locerations when they jumped from the train. Both were reported in good con-dition at St. Mark's hospital. The train, pushed by an electric engine and made up of 12 ore cars, left Bingham shortly before noon Sunday on its trip through the train tunnel to Copperton and Magna. Apparently the first seven cars were without air brakes, for one half mile out of the tunnel, En-gineer Harper realized that his train was out of control. He said he tried to signal the brakeman by whistling, but Mr. Steck could not hear him. With that the engineman leap-ed from the train, which was then going an estimated 50 miles per hour. When the runaway train roar-ed past the central yard control tower, operator Ablett signaled Mr. Murano in the Copperton tower that a "train is loose." Mr. Murano closed a switch in the yards in order to derail the approaching "avalanche." He al-so warned yard workers by pub-lic address system to "scatter." Brakeman Steck rode on the front of the ore train as it clat-tered past Mr. Ablett's tower, but two and one half miles from the tunnel he leaped "from the train which was then traveling at more than 60 miles per hour. A mile further down the line, the last five cars and the loco-motive broke connection, jack-knife- d in the air and plunged off the track, splitting ties and man-gling rails. The first seven cars',' each load-ed with 100 tons of ore, sped on i toward the Copperton yards which Mr. Murano was seeking to clear of workmen. This section of the runaway hit the closed switch, shearing the hard steel rail and leaping the tracks in a wild plunge. A 400-fo- ot section of rail was bent in a huge arc, while ore was spilled over a wide area. None of the yard workers were hurt, however, largely as a re-sult of Mr. Ablett's and Mr. Murano's cooperation in warning the workmen. Kennecott officials said the lines had been repaired by 4 a.m. Monday morning and normal traffic resumed through the Cop-perton yards. No interruption of work at the Magna mills was suffered as there was sufficient ore stock-piled for continued operations. An investigation was being conducted by the company to de-termine cause of the failure. Y. BINGHAM CYO TEAM CAPTURES TITLESUNDAY Bingham's hustling CYO bas-ketball team walked away with the 1949 state championship tro-phy Sunday in the Judge Mem-orial gym by defeating the tour-ney favorite, St. Patrick's, in a 37-3- 4 battle. While Bingham led through most of the struggle it was a late rally that almost gave the St. Pat's crew another trophy in its long hne of CYO championships. However, the new victors, after losing two of their starters via the foul route, settled down to squelch a fourth quarter rally and win the crown. In the championship game there were a tremendous num-ber of fouls called as two players from each team left via the foul route. Bingham lost Mickey Cul-- 1 leton soon after the second half and Muhar was just one step be-hind. "Blackie" Kallen was easily the offensive star for the win-ners as he tanked 19 points, while Pagnanelli, playing bril-liantly for St. Pat's, led the los-ers with 17. Bingham held a 16-1- 2 margin at half time but St. Pat's took over a slight 24-2- 3 ad-vantage at the end of the third uarter. Guadalupe was awarded the sportsmanship trophy, which is a yearly presentation of the CYO group. Members of the team are: Phil Montoya, Joe Herrera, Mickey Culleton, Amadeo Pino, Abel Oseguera, John Bolic, John Mu-har, John Kallen, Ross Pino and Matt Blockovich, trainer and Herb Babcock, coach.

Sports Here and There by Al Ablett The die has been cast. Bing-ham is to have a ball club in the Industrial league providing the Jordan school board give permis-sion for the copper company to light the field. The meeting is to be held tonight. Let us say that they give the permission, now the thing that must be done is to build a ball ground. The field is there, all that it requires is the fixing. But in the planning, those in charge should bear in mind that it is to be a baseball field. Not knowing a great deal about the care of grass, I took the privilege of asking Mr. Mor-gan, the ground keeper at Com-munity park. His answer was that what it takes most is work. He tells me that during the sum-mer their is an average of 12 games a week played at Com-munity park, and it is regarded as the finest park in the moun-tain country. So playing games on it won't hurt the grass. The next thing that is, to secure the oacking of every organization in the community. I presume that the team will be made up of lo-cal talent for the most part, and we owe it to these kids 4o cive them our support. They are go-ing to need it in more ways than one. Bingham has long been a baseball hot bed. Before they dropped out of the Industrial league, there were few years indeed that the team from this community wasn't in the race up to the final day. So it can be again, given the proper support. Night baseball will fill a big space in the recreation needs of the people. The park is beauti-fully located, and what could be nicer than to go to the stadium in the cool of a summer evening and watch a baseball game. So here's hoping the school district sees fit to give the green light, and that the support that the team will need to get started is forth coming. See you next week. AL O MINERETTE CLUB "April Showers", the Minerette social, went off with a "splash". A pouring good time was had by all Minerettes and partners. The color theme was carried out in yellow, purple and green and an atmosphere of enchant-ment enhanced each guest. The gym was decorated with a large tea table in the center and individual tables arranged around the floor in a circle. The tea ta-ble centerpiece was yellow daf-fodils with green fern weaving in and out. Tapers of purple and yellow gave light of romance. In-dividual tables had covers repre-senting spring and individual daffodil center pieces. Entertainment for the floor show was: vocal solo, "April Showers", Donna Rae Olsen; bal-let dance, Jerry Watkins; vocal solo, "Sunflower", Margy Isbell; double trio, "Hawaiian War-Chant- ", Maurine Morley, Margy Isbell, Donna Rae Olsen, Valene Rasmussen and Gerry Shilling. Refreshments were ice cream, individual cakes with yellow daf-fodils, green punch and an um-brella favor was presented to each guest. A professional elimination dance was held with prizes going to Ina Mae Ott, George Gadd and Barbara Coward and Ronnie Burke. Committee chairman was Mer-i;i- m Peterson with Beverly Beard, Gerry Shilling, Betty Kinsley, Patsy Willis, Donna Rae Olsen, Valeta Nevers and Mary Jo Walters assisting. The party was a wonderful success and everyone had an enjoyable eveninog.

Most local sports fans and a great number of sports followers from cities near and far have be-come acquainted with the aims and activities of the Bingham District Athletic Association. As a community unit, embracing a wide membership of laborers, business men and sports lovers, and guided by the representa-tives of various business and civic organizations, the BDAA has tried to promote community de-velopment through the medium ol good, clean sports competition and entertainment. In the few short years of the BDAA activities, something new has arisen in the field of enter-tainment. A spirit of working to-gether for the mutual benefit of an entire community has gained much headway, not only locally, but in many towns and counties. What Has Been Done In striving for a year round program of the best sports enter-tainment possible, the BDAA has sponsored a great number of ac-tivities. Among them has been boxing and wrestling cards, ra-dio broadcasts of basketball and football games, picture shows, turkey and chicken shoots, danc-es, lyceum programs, plays and musical numbers, horse shot-pitching- , softball, basketball and baseball. The BDAA has helped with many community and civic programs and has been ready to work with and for any worth-while project within its power. How Do We Do It? Success of the varied BDAA activities has been gained thru whole hearted support of these programs by Bingham, its people and neighbors. The unique struc-ture of our governing body has done much to promote harmony and wide-sprea- d interest. As we mentioned before,, the BDAA Board of Governors is made up of representatives from other or-ganizations, clubs, unions and businesses, and the general scope of any undertaking has the mem-bers benefit in view. Naturally, the BDAA has not been able to do these things alone. Member-ship dues have carried over a great many activities and we have tried to give every member just value as his privileges, but without the splendid cooperation and help from other sources, many fine programs would be limited. Plans For The Future The BDAA plans to carry on all programs that have proven successful in the past, and will do everything possible to create and hold new fields of interest in the lines of sports develop-ment. A vastly improved park for baseball and softball play, with added facilities for the contest-ants and fans is being planned. We feel sure, with every sports lovers support, that the BDAA. can and will bring you the fin-est for the least. Softball Season Nears ''With good prospects of a light-ed softball field for night play, this fast diamond sport should have a very good season locally. Six or seven teams have already given their intentions of enter-ing in the popular BDAA league. Just a few weeks remain before the league will get underway. If you have not signified your en-try, either as a team or player, please contact the BDAA soft-ba- ll committee or call 485. We hope to have a six or eight team league and will try to make this year's softbal lrace better than ever before. ALLEY ANGLES BDAA Keglers Finish Season The BDAA bowlers wind up a thrilling season in the Salt Lake Major Traveling league this week at the Temple lanes. The Travel-ers split with Paramount Ice Cream at the Ritz last week and a win tonight should put the lo-cals up next to the leaders. The Bingham bowlers have enjoyed a good season in this tough ma-jor league and have given a good account of themselves and their town. The BDAA has been proud to sponsor this bowling team and hope the boys can keep right on playing and winning among the best of them. Doc Mason Cops Classic Doc Mason, a Salt Lake favor-ite and a member of Brunswick squad in the Major league fired a 1727 series for eight games to win the 1949 Ritz Classic tour-ney. Doc barely nosed out two of the nation's best bowlers, win-ning by one pin over Hank Lau-ma- n of Los Angeles and 17 pins over Bill Flesch. Al Ablett led the local conting-ent in their annual try for Clas-sic fame with a fine 1627 score. Some year, the locals say, will be Bingham's year to capture this popular crown. You can never tell.
