'Mr. Alexander died Monday, May 28, at 2:40 p.m. in a Salt Lake hospital of a heart ailment. He was "born October 14, 1888, in London, England, and came to the United States at an early age. His wife, Mrs. Susan Alexan-der, died in March 1942. Mr. Alexander's sole survivor is a stepdaughter, Mr Violet V. Mortcnsen, Salt Lake City. Interment was in Wasatch Lawn Memorialopark. Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Well our summer didn't last long but those White Sox will warm it up. I have had a great many people ask me what is making them click. I can tell you the two main things Man-ager Paul Richards and hustle, and one goes with the other. Nobody can understand their pitching staff. Just stop and re-member Richards is the man that made Newhouscr a pitcher in-stead of a thrower. In Judson, Holcombe, Pierce, Rogovin, Gum-pe- rt and Dobsor. he has plenty of fellows that know how to pitch. I have always thought that Dobson should be one of the best in the American league. In Masi and Niarhos they have two seasoned catchers. The best young shortstop in the business is Carrsquel and Fox the second baseman they got from the A's has shown people that a little man can play big league ball. After all Johnny Even did all right, and Johnny never weighed over 135 pounds. I think the master stroke by Richards and Layne is when they acquired Orteso Minoso from Cleveland. This fellow I think will turn out to be the greatest of all the colored ball players. He can do everything hit 'em, go get 'em, and slide both ways. Add Zarilla, Lehner and Busby, an outfield that will stack up with any of them and you just about have the answer, but not quite because then you come to Robinson at first, one of the long ball hitters of the lea-gue and a guy that will drive in over a hundred runs a sea-son. There is your answer, a swell ball club under a great manager. Paul probably won't be able to make many more trad-es because it looks like he could give Rickey a lesson this David Harum business. Along the local front the news is still bad. The locals dropped another one, this time to Brig-ha- m City 18 to 5. Manager Wil-son had to pitch the last couple of innings and he turned in the best job of the night. Salt Lake continues to stay at the top of the Pioneer league. They have a good club, and in Manager Kittle a better than fair pitcher. He will save many a game in the last couple of inn-ings. Have to quit now and go um-pire the playoff between Utah and Colorado state. See you next week. AL USAC GIVES NEW RULING FORVETERANS Logan Policies governing summer school attendance of veterans were classified by the Veterans Administration in a communication received today at Utah State Agricultural college. The ruling, which applies spec-ifically to school teachers, fol-lows: "Where an institution offers two summer sessions of equal length, a school teacher who is a veteran and who has duly in-itiated his course may satisfy the continuous pursuit require-ment by attendance at either of such sessions, provided, however that the session attended is at least five weeks in length." This interpretation will be es-pecially welcome to those teach-ers whose plans make it diffi-cult to attend the entire quarter, said President Louis L. Madsen. Dean John C. Carlisle, pointed out that the second session of the college summer school orig-inally scheduled for four weeks, is being extended to five in or-der to be fully in accord with the new regulation, and to meet the needs of those teachers who may wish to attend the second session only. Registration for the first session is June 11, and for the second, July 23. It is especially urgent that vet-erans who have not initiated a course of training do so before the registration dates of the ses-sion they intend to enter, so that their certificates of eligibility may toe properly cleared. The office of Veterans' Affairs at the college, headed by Asa L. Beecher is open daily to ans-wer questions pertaining to edu-cation for veterans and to ar-range for necessary guidance, registration or other auxiliary educational services. The summer at USAC promis-es to be a 'busy one, with the regular quarter scheduled June 11 to August 24. Two short cour-ses precede it. The Coaching School begins June 5, and the Drivers Education Workshop, June 4. The national convention of the American Institute of Co-operation is scheduled for the week beginning August 27, and a three week surveying camp for students in engineering begins September 3. "v j B.D.A.A FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp BDAA At Helper Sunday ; The BDAA entry in the rough and tough Utah Industrial lea- - ' gue, will journey to Helper this Sunday, June 3, to tackle the Merchants in a night game. The local nine, smarting under an early season setback of five in a row, will attempt to get in the win bracket at the coal-towne-expense. Helper, minus most of last year's veterans, has had a pretty rough season also so far, and will be shooting the works to keep the visitors in the cellar. Manager Wilson is still work-ing hard on his squad line-u- p, and despite the early setbacks, is confident his club will be in the thick of things before many more games. The local nine has had very little opportunity for good practice sessions, due to the adverse weather, but several weak spots have been discover-ed, and steps are being taken to bolster these positions. HELPER HERE WEDNESDAY After sizing each other up at Helper Sunday, the same two squads will do it all over again Wednesday night at Copperton, in another clash under the lights at 8:15 p.m. Prizes that were to be given away by our local merchants at the last home game will be at this Helper and Bing-ham game Wednesday. We wish to apologize for not awarding these prizes last game, but due to some error on our part, only half enough cards were available, and we deemed it best to wait and give every-one the same chance. We also hope to have the con-cession going again for the re-mainder of the baseball season, with hot dogs, pop, coffee and the best refreshments. Postponed Game June 8 Dates have been set for replay of the two games that have been rained out in the early part of the season. The Magna - Bingham game will be played at Copperton Fri-day, June 8, and American Fork at Bingham, Sunday, June 24th. Both are night games. SOFTBALL SLANTS The 1951 BDAA Softball race will get underway Tuesday, June 5th at the softball park at Copperton. Four teams are def-initely entered, with the first game starting at 7:15 p.m. and the second one at 8:30 p.m. A complete schedule and other de-tails will be out in next week's issue. Games will also toe held on Thursday nights. Teams will be instructed as to who and at what time they will play. For further information, contact Ross Pino. o MODEL PLANE CONTEST RECEIVES AMA SANCTION Official sanction for the big Utah Plymouth Model Plane contest at Salt Lake City has been received from the Acad-emy of Model Aeronautics, gov-erning body of American model aviation, Jack Douglas, contest director, said yesterday. Sanction of the AMA has dis-tinct importance to local model builders, for it means that any record-breakin- g flights will be considered by the AMA records committee for United States and world records. Such marks can only be set in sanction meets, where all AMA requirements are met. National prominence "will not be the only goal of contestants in the Utah contest, however. They will all be shooting for such prizes as a $300.00 college scholarship, and a glittering ar-ray of trophies and other awards to be offered in the meet, spon-sored by the Plymouth dealers of Utah. However, the top prizes will be two paid trips to Detroit to compete in the Fifth International Model Plane contest. The International, goal of all model flyers, is sponsored each August by the Plymouth Motor Corp. and brings together 500 of the country's top model build-ers who have made outstanding records at contests such as the Utah meet July 1 and 3. The Utah contest will be open to all model plane flyers in the state of Utah. However, only those contestants under the age of 21 will be eligible to win the paid trips to Detroit. Full details are available through any Ply-mouth dealer in the state. FISH AND GAME HIGHLIGHT At the traps on Taylor's creek, a tributary of East Canyon res-ervoir, 33,640 native trout eggs were taken yesterday. The tak-ing of eggs on Taylor's creek is worthy of note as previous to this time no spawn has been ta-ken there. Because of the high water and the fact that the stream recedes so fast, most spawn is lost be-fore the eggs have time to hatch. In the past many of the spawn-ing fish themselves have been lost. There is no egg taking on the East Canyon stream itself above the reservoir. It is felt that there is ample good spawning grounds to handle its run of naturally spawning fish. One hundred chukar partridge eggs were taken at the Price Game Farm. This represents a peak in egg production up to this date. It is felt that continued warm .weatae will increase the daily egg take considerably. The chukar partridge experi-ment is being watched closely by the department. The total production of eggs is dependent on many factors. Chief among these is the age of the birds. This is not known of the present brood stock at Price as these birds had to be bought from various sources to rapidly fill this stock to meet this year's projected program. The department wishes to re-mind all well-meani- out-do-lovers that it is against the law to molest or have in possession fawn deer. At this season said fawn are often seen and thought lost or orphaned. They should in all cases toe left where found. If there is evidence of tragic cir-cumstances, the department of Fish and Game should toe noti-fied. It is felt timely also to ask all drivers to exercise special care regarding birds on the highways. A hen pheasant killed now will generally mean that several lim-its of this great bird will not be evident in the field next hunting season. O STATE TAX COMMISSION HIGHLIGHTS Utah, according to the United States Department of Commerce operated its government during the fiscal year ended June 30 last with expenditures 6.7 per cent less than in the previous twelve month period. Total ex-penditures, including capital out-lay, aid to local governments such as counties, cities, towns and school districts, payment on state debt and other payments, were 2.2 per cent less in Utah than in the preceding year. In these features Utah reverse a national trend. All the states in the aggregate, spent 9.7 per cent more in fiscal 1950 than in fiscal 1949 for operations of their governments on the state level, and total expenditures were 11.9 per cent higher for all the states in 1950 than in 1949 fiscal years. Louisiana was the only other state west of the Mississippi riv-er which showed expenditure trends similar to Utah; and Ohio and Illinois were the only other states with both total expendi-tures and expenditures for oper-ations less in 1950 than in 1949. State expenditures for fiscal 1949, in Utah were from amounts appropriated by the legislature of 1947. Governor J. Bracken Lee came into office in the middle of the fiscal year 1949; and fis-cal year 1950 was the first com-plete fiscal year to show the re-sults of his control and that of the legislature of 1949. Examination of the depart-ment's publication develops the fact that the economy knife did not reduce aDDrooriations for education, either for the state-operat-institutions of higher education, nor for the financial aid from the state to the school districts. Expenditures for high-way construction in 1950 exceed-ed that of 1949 by more than $1 million, or by 17 per cent. This is classed as capital outlay. State aid to local governments increas-ed in this year $700,000, or more than 4 per cent. "The government publication does not state any explicit reas-ons for the reduction in Utah expenditures", said Patrick Healy, Jr., chairman of the state tax commission which has an-alyzed the report, "but analysis of the figures, and examination of state expenditures in greater detail will show that the instal-lation of modern methods and mechanical aids to administra-tion, together with the require-ment that each state employee give an honest full day's work are among the main reasons for the savings in public funds and for making larger amounts for the benefit of the general public." According to the government publication, which classifies ac-tivities in a manner aimed to place all the states on an ap-proximately equal footing, ex-penditures in Utah for "general control," which includes legisla-tive and judicial expenditures and those of the chief executive, were $260,000 less in fiscal 1950 than in fiscal 1949. There was no legislative session in 1950, which accounts for part of the reduction of nearly 14 per cent. Utah expenditures classed as for public safety, including the state police, the militia and pro-tective inspection and regulation, dropped about $150,000 or 12 per cent. For highway maintenance and administration, the expen-ditures were about $550,000 or 111 per cent less. For operation of state departments concerned with natural resources, chiefly agriculture and fish and game operation expenditures, the drop was $400,000 or 14 per cent. For operation of hospitals and insti-tutions for the handicapped ex-penditures decreased $150,000 or 9 per cent; for health, $60,000 or 7 per cent; for public welfare, $1,100,000 or 8 per cent. For re-creation and miscellaneous, which classification includes a comparatively small amount of fish and game expenditures and all those of the state employ-ment security administration, there was an increase of $100,000 or 10 per cent; and there was a small increase also in the ex-penditures classed as correction. Expenditures for the junior and senior colleges increased $36,-00- 0.
