Show The University baseball team is playing BYU at Copperton park Friday (tonight) at 8 p.m. The clubs are evenly matched and it will be Bingham fans' first chance to see either team. It should be a real ball game as both teams are fighting to stay in the running. Say, don't forget that Bingo party at the Gemmell club on the 17th. See you next week. . AL club and a couple of the boys can rap that ball. One more capable cap-able pitcher and they would be hard to take. If the playoffs are spaced far enough apart I think this bunch will go all the way. Have been watching - Rex Layne in training, and the boy is beginning to shape up. He had the bad luck this week of losing his best sparring partner for a couple of days as Morrow cut his leg while doing road work. He worked three round with Jack Nelson and one with a boy from Wyoming Wednesday. Jen- Sports mere and There toy Al Ablett The Bingham high school team continues on its winning ways. They made Murray their latest victims, beating them 16 to 1 at Murray. Cowdell struck out 18 men, as every Bingham player got at least one hit. They play Cyprus here today (Thursday). Sandy has a real good defensive sen wanted Bob Ford for the rest ' of the week but Bob is going home for the week end. You know Ford is the fellow from Bingham that stopped his man in three rounds on the last Fairground Fair-ground card. He is working out at the club, and he is a fellow that knows all the answers. Bob was former light heavyweight champion of the Pacific coast. They are trying to match him with Benny Flake, the Salt Lake cutie for the next Salt Lake card. But getting back to Layne, I have the solemn word of Marv Jensen that the boy has been living right for this fight, and I know he has worked harder than for any of his previous fights. Marv and Rex realize this is the j big one. A win or a real good showing against Matthews and the future again takes on a rosy hue. The fight takes place in the exposition building in Portland on May 20th and I understand a number of fans from the valley are chartering a plane to attend. The fare is $64 round trip and ring side tickets are $10. Everyone Every-one that goes is assured a ticket. The fight is a sellout. Four hundred hun-dred fans or better are going by special train from Boise, Matthews' Mat-thews' home town. So the fight from a financial standout is a cinch to be a success. There is a return bout clause in the contract con-tract in case Layne wins. My hope is that this comes to pass, and they hold it in Salt Lake. |
