ROGERS DIES INjCAUFORNIA Mr. and Mrs. Alger Baum left Tuesday afternoon for Needles, Calif., upon receiving word of the death of William H. Rogets, father of Mrs. Baum. Mr. Rogers passed away in Needles Tuesday morning of a heart ailment. He was 79 years old. He was born July 3, 1872 at Calumet, Mich., and came to Utati when five years of age. He lived in Butterfield canyon until a young man, and then moved to Copperfield where he worked with his father, John Rogers, and his three sons the first ore to be removed from Utah Copper mine. He was employed at Utah Apex until his retirement about 20 years ago. The Rogers family are the people referred to on the bronze plaque in front of the Utah Copper office. In September 1949, he joined his wife and daughter in Needles, Calif. Besides his widow, Mrs. Ger-trude Rogers of Needles, he is survived by one son and three daughters, Donna Goodwin, cfl Needles; Elbert Rogers, San Ber-nardino, Calif.; Mrs. Florence Baum and Mrs. Leota .Muir of Bingham Canyon; five grand-children and one great grand- - child, and three brothers, Jtich-ar- d Rogers, Salt Lake City; Frank Rogers, Grass Valley, Calif., and Lewis Rogers. Funeral services will be con-ducted at Needles today, Friday, at 10:00 a. m. - BMA FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp BDAA UPSETS FORKERS Bingham's improved diamond nine got off to an auspicious start in second half play, in the fast Industrial loop, with a thrill-ing 6 to 5 upset win over Amer-ican Fork, and a 3 to 0 shut-ou- t verdict over the Brigham City Peaches. Last Sunday, the locals came from behind in the last half of the ninth stanza, on a pinch hit home run by Wayne Ray, to tie up the score 5 all, and then win on a single by Schick, a walk to Sluga, and a single toy Bab-coc- k. Ray's homer, a vicious line-driv- e over the right center field barrier, came with one out in the last of the ninth, and was the turning point of the ball game. Del Schick also blasted a four-bagg- er in the first inning, with a mate aboard, and Owen dup-licated the feat for the Forkers. Vic Stuckenschneider went the route for the locals, allowing on-ly 8 scattered hits. Against the Peaches at Brig-ha- m City, Crump allowed only 7 blows, and struck out 5, as he held the Peaches scoreless. BENEFIT GAME SUNDAY Bingham's BDAA nine will test the best of the Amateur ball players Sunday night at Derks field at 8:00 p.m., in a benefit tussle for the Amateurs' Injury fund. The locals will go against a group of All-Star- s, selected from the ranks of teams in the Ama-teur Federation loop, and the game should be of top interest for fans of both circuits. BACK HOME JULY 22 Bingham plays its next home game Sunday, July 22, at Cop-perton, against the Provo Timps. This game will be the next lea-gue contest for the local nine, as the benefit game caused a change in the original schedule. SOFTBALL SLANTS Second half play got under-way last Monday in the Softball skirmish, with Princess theatre taking the opener 10 to 4, over the Copper King-Emerald- s, and Highland Boy losing a thriller to Gemmell Club 13 to 10. Thursday night Gemmell play-ed the Emeralds and Highland Boy clashed with Princess thea-tre. Next Monday, Copper King-Emeral-meet Highland Boy at 6:30 p.m. and Princess theatre and Gemmell club play at 7:30. Let's all be to these games on time, and keep up the fine en-tertainment.

O .. FISH AND GAME HIGHLIGHT Director J. Perry Egan an-nounces today three permanent appointments to keey positions in the department Harold S. Crane as Supervisor of Game Management, Golden B. Peay, Chief of the Law Enforcement Division, and Jay R. Udy as As-sistant Federal Aid Coordinator. Each man has previously fill-ed his appointment on a tem-porary basis. According to the director, these appointments are in line with his and the commis-sion's thinking of filling any open positions in the department with men from the ranks, whenever possible. Chairman Goldon G. Sander- - son, Fish and Game commission, states that several sportsmen have contacted him regarding the depleting stock of mackinaw trout in Fish lake. Commissioner Sanderson reports that it is the feeling of these sportsmen that a conservation measure of some kind should be taken to protect this fish. At present the mackinaw eggs are not obtainable, nor is it ex-pected that there will be any supply in quantity in the near future. With the above .in mind, it is suggested that sportsmen catching mackinaw trout under 18 inches in length release sama back to the water. Such action will insure a better spawning return from the mackinaw left in Fish lake, as well as give the fish caught under this size a chance to mature to th.e larger size for which he is best known. According to the director, re- - cent commission action was tak-e- nt to insure a continuous ac-ceptable display of fish in the Fish and Game building at the State Fair Grounds during each Fair season. Previously use of the Salt Lake City water sup-ply which contains additive che-micals, has caused loss of the fish being displayed in the tanks. To preclude this happening the department has exper-imented with and proven the feasibility of using spring water which, through a pumping and filtering system will insure a fine continuous display without loss of fish. Since this display of fish each fall has been one of the import-ant attractions at the Fair, it was felt by the commission that a minor expenditure to correct this condition was justifiable, ac-cording to the director. This will also preclude re-placement of fish during the fair because of these losses. This in itself has been an expensive op-eration that should not again be necessary under the new system. Favorable acceptance of the new visible license toy sportsmen of the state is general, according to reports coming into the de-partment from its field men and sportsmen alike. A state-wid- e tour by several of the depart-ment heads during the past week brought contact with many sports men in the areas visited. With few exceptions, all sportsmen and sportsmen's organizations saw the new visible license as a move in the direction of better conservation. Some suggestions have been made toward the improvement of the present visible license. These suggestions are welcomed by the department. Since the visible license law is flexible enough to allow for changes, any such constructive suggestions will be given consideration by the Fish and Game commission with the view of incorporating them in the license another year. Sports Here and There by Al Ablett The Bingham entry in the In-dustrial League has gotten two well-pitche- d games, and, of course, that is all they ever need-ed. Stuckenschneider beat Am-erican Fork 6 to 5 in ten innings in the second half opener when "Admiral" Ray hit a pinch home run to tie it up in the ninth. Cal Crump turned in a seven-h- it shut-o- ut when he took Brightm City 3 to 0 Wednesday night. So Bingham is leading the league in second half play. Helper beat Provo 8 to 7 and I will have to take back about Helper not adding tiny "strength. They have signed a battery in Jim Eardley and John Partan. Both of these boys played for the USAC. If Jim can get his stuff over the plate he will be a win-ner. Partan is a good boy. Steady behind the plate with a good arm. He hit well in college ball. Both swell boys and a real as-set to the league. American Fork beat Magna 21 to 3 as Big "Al" Tate had a field day, with pitch-ing a seven-hitte- r, hitting 5 for 6, two of them over the garden wall. He hit in four runs, scored four himself and struck out eight men. Pretty fair day's work. Boy did those National leaguers tee off on that American league pitching. With the exception of Garver they greeted them like they had paid their board all winter. Of course, I think Sten-gel made a mistake not having Feller and Raschi as two of his pitchers. He didn't put DiMaggio in the game and the rumor is the big fellow is peeved. They say he doesn't talk much to his teammates, and they have adopt-ed the attitude that if that's the way he wants it, okeh by them. Well Joe has been a great ball player but the major leaguers have told me he has always been a loner, in baseball terms "a guy that keeps pretty much to him-self". How about this, Turpin beat-ing Robinson. I guess "Sugar Ray" left too much of his fight in Gay Paree. But don't forget they will pack them in when they meet in New York. I worked ' a double-head- er in Elko, Nev., last Sunday for "Red' Elias qf the Stockmen's Hotel, who owns the ball club. What a host this fellow is and "Red" is giving the town of Elko a real ball club. They play the best semi-pr- o teams from northern California and believe it or not there is no charge to get in. They just pass the hat. How about that. So if you go through Elko on your vacation look "Red" up. You won't be sorry. See you next week. AL . o. EAGLES LAUDED FOR AID GIVEN RUNYON FUND The Damon Runyon Memorial Fund for Cancer Research pre- - I sented to Bingham Canyon Aerie and Auxiliary No. 659 of the j Fraternal Order of Eagles, a cer tificate of appreciation for their contributions to the Runyon fund. The Aerie and Auxiliary donated a sum of $76.50 as a result of a charity frolic. Officers of the Runyon Fund-comp- osed of friends of the late Damon Runyon are: Dan Park-er, sports editor of the New York Daily Mirror, president; Leonard Lyons, columnist of the New York Post, vice president; Walter Wlnchell, New York Daily Mirror columnist and radio com-mentator, treasurer; and Leo Linderman, owner of New York's famed "Lindy's" restaurant, sec-retary. The certificate was presented to the local Eagles toy M. J. Ro-bertson, who was chairman for the charity frolic. More than 1200 Aeries and Aux . iliaries throughout the country held Eagle charity frolics to as-sist in the fight against cancer and presented to the Runyon Fund $130,689.96. Mr. Winchell paid tribute to the Eagles and their fund-raisin- g efforts with several complimen-tary comments on his radio pro-grams and in his dally columns. In presenting the certificate, Mr. Robertson said that, "working on this wonderful program gave me and the rest of our members a two-fol- d dividend. We enjoyed the frolic and we had the feel-ing that we are helping a cause that was worthy of our greatest support." Following is the letter receiv-ed by the local Eagles aerie from the Runyon Fund: June 1951 To the Officers and Members Aerie No. 659, F.O.E. Bingham Canyon, Utah. The members of the Damon Runyon Memorial Fund for Can-cer Research would like to thank every member of the Fraternal Order of the Eagles. No finer demonstration of a united ef-fort has ever been made in the fight against cancer. Your individual efforts made possible the largest contribution ever made to the Fund from any fraternal group. We want you to know that your contribution like many oth-ers has been used for cancer re-search in the 48 states without any deduction for expenses of any kind. To date $4,206,424 has been paid out in 172 grants and 147 fellowships in 130 institutions in 45 states, the District of Colum-bia and 11 foreign countries. May good fortune be yours for the help that you have made possible for others.
