Show UAA FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp INDUSTRIAL LOOP OPENS Bingham BDAA baseball squad will play host to last year's champs, American Fork, at Cop-perton Cop-perton Sunday, May 11th in an afternoon game at 4:30 p.m. This clash will mark the opening open-ing of another season of fast Industrial In-dustrial league play, and will give the fans a glance at the comparative strength of these two clubs. The Forkers have lost one of their main power hitters in the transfer of big Earl Owen to Helper, but still have Al Tate and several new men to round out a strong team. Most of the teams in this semi-pro semi-pro loop will not be at full strength until school is out, as they all have a few of the college men on the rosters. Manager Mack Peyton, aided by "Ug" Wilson, has rounded up a pretty fair ball club, despite adverse weather, and the scarcity of players. Just who or what the starting lineup will be is not clear as yet, but the locals will be battling just where they left off last season. All BDAA members, their wives and children under 16 years of age will be admitted to all of Bingham's home games, and the Industrial league games at Magna also. - Bingham will journey to Magna Mag-na next Friday, May 16 to play the second league game against the Millmen in a regular' night affair under the lights at 8:15.
