Santistevan Area Director Thus past week brought to a close the first quarter of play of all playground leagues. Close races took place in the Junior league and the Pee Wee league. In the Junior league the Copper-to- n Sharks just edged out the Copperfield boys by one game and that was in the playoff game last Tuesday which the Copper-to- n Sharks won 19-1- The Pee Wee league was won by the Bingham team. This club is just a little too good for the other teams of this league and may be forced to move up to the Junior league at the end of the second quarter. This club has a bunch of fine players and have yet to taste defeat. The Hot Rods and Copperton Hawks say they are going to try to change things in this league this quarter. The Black Bats captured the championship of the Midget lea-gue in a great race right to the wire. The Spit Fires fought them for the lead right up to the last game. These two teams have ut a 15 player roster and are on the playground daily. On the Black Bat roster we find Ronnie and Donnie Markovich, Benny and Bobby Osoro, Don Wri,;ht, Jimmy Wilson, Paul McMullin and Tommy Redmond, just to mention a few. The Spit Fires have on their roster such good looking players as Harold Sus-aeta, Jimmy Lovat, Bob Susaeta, Mike Golish, R. Nerdin and Floyd Trujillo. The Golden Stars of the Mid-get league have Frank Moyeda as a manager. He is one of the favorites on the playground and he has as his teammates Richard Gallegos, Tommy Mannos, Len-ni- e Johnson, Carl Miya, Paul Miya and Paul Gallegos. The Pirates of the Midget lea-gue are trying to strengthen their club and with players like Junior Lugo, Henry Alachi, Ben Valencia and Arthur Fullmer, will be well up in front this quarter. Dick Houghton, Larry Still-ma- n, Larry Johnson, Bryce Bu-se- y, Ronnie iMuhar, along with Harold Yates, Juan Sanchez and Ray Garamendi, are on the play-ground daily and will represent us in many of the tournaments this summer. Sixteen teams from Bingham and sixteen playground teams from Magna, Garfield and Hunt-er playgrounds had a great day on our playground last Tuesday. A full day of play was held and about 340 boys played baseball all day. We are looking forward to taking all our boys over to Magna for the same kind of a day. Teams from Murray will come here also one of these days for the same kind of a day. Every team playing on the playground will soon receive their caps and shirts. These are donated by the Bingham District Activity Fund and every boy on the playground really appreciat-ed them and want to thank this one agency in our community that really makes Junior base-ball possible in the Bingham com-munity. This agency really mer-its the support of our commu-nity as they spare nothing to make the playing of baseball possible as well as to help the boys keep up their enthusiasm. Sixteen teams will receive these caps and shirts. Three Lark teams come to our playground two and three days a week to play baseball with our teams. Every boy on the playground felt pretty tough this past week when they learned that we are losing George Dimas as our base-ball playground leader. George has helped me for some three years. He was really an asset to our playground. A boy well-school-in baseball, having been brought up on my playground from the age of six, then playing on my Legion championship teams and on my high school baseball and football champion-ship teams. He also volunteered his services to me to help Amer-ican Legion teams and furnished his services free to them. His loss will be felt by us all as George was one of my favorites and one of the best athletes' I have ever turned out George will go into the Air Corp of the army about the 15th of this month. At present he is in Texas seeing his girl friend before re-porting for duty. Dick Roblez will help me in the mornings the rest of the sum-mer and I feel Dick will do a good job of it too. The younger boys like him too.

They got too big a jump on the rest of the teams for them to catch up. Bingham and Magna showed great improvement in the last five games. These two teams reminded you of a fighter who had been knocked out in the first round, and as he went down the aisle he started swing-ing wildly sending everyone to cover. Brigham City will be a better looking team in the sec-ond half if Jimmy Cleverly don't sign a pro contract. Jimmy made the college team at second base. Basil Williams will help both on the mound and at the plate. Both of these boys played. Magna will have Sanders from the start and he is a rough boy to beat. Souders, theirother young pitcher, is just getting ov-er a kink in his shoulder, with a good arm this kid has plenty. Provo hasn't strengthened much, but Ford and Wankier could be much better with hot weather. American Fork has Johnny Ca-pu- to Sack, John is a good hitter and has plenty of hustle. He will help the two big guns, Tate and Owens. Helper just doesn't have it, and I don't think they have done anything for the second half. I can't understand this town. They have had great teams the last three years, but this year they tried fielding a team from local talent, and they finished on the bottom in the first half. I can't see any other finish for them in the second." Angelo Vetterlli just can't carry the load. The local team has strengthen-ed plenty by getting three men from the Utah team Mickey Culleton to catch, DelMar Schick for centerfield and Vic Stucken-schneid- er to help the mound staff. If Mac Peyton should hit his stride, this bunch could be in the thick of it all the way. One thing you can be sure of, no team will walk through the second half like the Forkers did in the first. It looks like if you don't throw a no hitter, a pitcher can't make the Bees. First it was Bert Bark-alo- u in a seven inning opener. On the same night Greenwood came back with a three hitter and a couple of nights later Ralph Romero tossed a nine inning no hitter against Ogden, the hardest hitting club in the league. Big Ralph had a perfect game going for eight innings. No man had reached first base, but Nordell, the short stop, made a great play on a ground ball, and threw high to first base. No question, had the throw been good he would have had this man. The ball had him beat by two full strides. The two pitchers that I pick on the Bee squad to go up are Romero and Greenwood. Both of these boys have a real fast ball. The business manager of kill-ings made a remark about Hub Kittle's pitching. Now that is a man talking like he had a paper head. Because for their winning at least, Hub has one of the sneakiest fast balls I have ever seen and he can thread a needle with it. By the way he has pitch-ed when I saw him and he has went to school on every hitter in the league. Not since Joe Orengo as this same Hub Kittle. See you next week.

COMBINED METALS-CI- 0 REACH PACT ACCORD Officials of Combined Metals Reduction Co. and representa-tives of the CIO United Steel-worke- rs Union Friday announc-ed they had reached a basis for settlement of contract negotia-tions. In a joint announcement it was pointed out that a study has been agreed to at com-pany properties at Bauer and Butterfield, Utah, and that dur-ing the next 30 days both par-ties will work out wage adjust-ments after the job study. A minimum wage of $11.30 per shift also has been agreed to. A retro-active date on any wage adjust-ments will be July 1, 1951, it was announced.
