This week ended the second quarter with the same winners repeating as the first quarter. In the Senior league the Bingham team came out with a perfect record. re-cord. This club has many young bovs on its club with Mer. Dick Roblez, Clair Rager and "Trigger" "Trig-ger" LaComb keeping this club where it Is. The Junior league was again taken by the A & M after fighting fight-ing it out with the Copperton Stars. Tommy James at 2nd, Ron Boron at 3rd, Tom Lovat at 1st and Norman Chesler gives this club a well balanced infield, with John Arritola doing the catching. catch-ing. The Copperton Stars attack is lead by the Muhar brothers and the two Peterson boys. The Bingham Browns finally lost there first game but still took the second quarter. Tony Menna who is the manager of this club, is one of the most improved im-proved ball players on the grounds. During this week on Tuesday, the Magna and Garfield areas of the Salt Lake County Recreation department, visited our playgrounds play-grounds and brought with them four ball clubs. In the first contest con-test the Bingham club of the Senior Sen-ior league rolled over the Magna Pirates 12 to 3. Cowdell on the mound for Bingham was just too much for this club. Kay Breeze the Magna Pirates catcher, and Ronnie Thurman, pitcher, did some fine playing for their ball club. In the .second game Canyon Motor beat the Garfield Majors 15-0 as Bob Sanchez pitched a no hitter for the motor men.

In another game played the A & M Sky-Larks combined with the Copperton Stars to edge the Magna Buchiners 14-15. Bob Zito and Penny Tiglson played great ball for the Buckineers. In one of the best played games gam-es of the afternoon the Bingham Merchant) lost our only game to the Garfield Minors. Lynn Harrison Har-rison and Larry Wilson's bats were just too much to handle. We want to say that we really enjoyed having this group up to play us and in the near future we will return to their areas for return matches. The Bingham baseball playground play-ground has made arrangements through the county recreation department de-partment to take the boys up to the Spruces lodge. The dates have been set for the 21st and 22 of July so if you have a boy and want to .end 'him please send word with him down to our playground play-ground so that we can sign him up. We will secure the transportation transpor-tation to and from the canyon. Many questions have been asked ask-ed about our Huck Finn day. The date has not been set as yet but the event should take place between be-tween now and three weeks. Plans are being made to hold ours after Murray holds there's so we have to wait for them. This is the end of the line from our baseball playground and the dope on what your boys are doing. In ending we want to send an invitation to any parent or Bingham resident who has a few spare moments during the day to visit our playground and see these boys in action.
