Show Sports Here and There by Al Ablett After having seen all of the I teams in the Industrial league in action, it looks like a dog fight between four teams for the flag. At the moment I would say Helper Help-er is the team to beat. They have a good infield and a hard hitting outfield. Mike Wood is doing a bang-up job of catching. Wilson's only worry is pitching. Dark has turned in two well pitched games, gam-es, but he must find some help for him. Magna has a well rounded team headed by cagey Lief Erick- son. Lief has a scuad that is young in years but wise in the j ways of baseball. His infield is : anchored around Mosser at short, I who is a veteran who is both I steady in the field and a dangr-ous dangr-ous hitter. In Merrill, Johnson and himself he has two men that know how to pitch and it looks I like Lief has come up with a great prospect in this boy Buck-ner. Buck-ner. The boy is fast and has a fair curve. Lief will have a finished product by the middle of the year. I understand they will add a couple of the boys from the championship Cyprus high school team. Provo has a veteran lineup in the infield and outfield, a great looking young catcher in Elliott, a pitching staff headed by Wan-aker, Wan-aker, a good left hander and backed up by a couple of veterans veter-ans and a good looking youngster young-ster in Openshaw. Their outfield of Zaccaria, Jensen and Velcheck is the best in the league. With Page and Berge in the infield they will be tough all year. Earl Owen has gathered a young bunch at Pinney and they have plenty of hustle. If they get pitching with big Earl, Less Cramer Cra-mer and Bensmiller wielding those big bats they will win plenty of games. Just got word they have signed "Nig" Tate who has been with Sacramento all spring. Occie Evans at Brigham City is in the process of building a-round a-round Bill Cowley, Pete Radu-lovich Radu-lovich and himself. He has a good looking bunch of youngsters and the second half they will be heard from. Our amateur team won their first game from the DeMolay team with ease. I think the score was 17 to 0. Les Sumnicht and Zaccaria have gathered a bunch of young fellows from Bingham and it looks like they have a winner. win-ner. Les will probably handle the J team as Zac is playing with I Provo. There won't be a man in the amateur league with more know how than Les, you can bet on that, so the kids are starting out right. Now its up to the fans to give them the kind of support that they deserve. The gun club had one of its biggest shoots last Sunday "and this coming Sunday they are planning another one. A great many shooters took hams and nylons home. I understand they have plenty left, so be there Sunday, Sun-day, you scatter gun artists. See you next week. AL. |
