FLASH FLOOD HITS BINGHAM TUESDAY Al Traffic was blocked and sev-eral homes sustained severe dam-age in a sudden flash flood that swept across Bingham's Main street below the Central school about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 8, stopping all traffic, flooding several homes and burying a number of automobiles in mud and debris. Investigators reported that the water came from the Montana-Bingha- m mine tunnel connection with the U. S. Smelting, Refining and Mining Company mine at Lark. As the water and mud swept down, the home of Mrs. Amelia Mutz, 339 Main, was directly in the way and Mrs. Mutz was in-jured when the floor collapsed. She was not seriously hurt and was taken out of the building through a window. Rocks, mud and water poured into the home of Franca Quinn, collapsing one wall of the house and filling three garages by the house, all. three of which had cars in them. Basements of homes along Main street were filled with mud and debris as residents further down the canyon awakened to find a river flowing through their homes, causing considerable damage to furniture and houses. The flood waters broke a Kennecott Copper Corporation water line on the mountain side, adding to the flood. Bingham City equipment, as-sisted by heavy equipment from the copper company, went to work immediately and the road was cleared for one-wa- y traffic before 9 a.m. About two feet of water, mud and debris poured down Bing-- i ham's Main street, also flowing down the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad tracks. Most workmen at the copper mine had already gone to work when the flood occurred, but approximately 100 men were caught below the slide and were taken to the mine on a coach run through the 60-4- 0 tunnel to the pit. Mayor Morley said the water apparently built up in the old mine from melting snow and rain.

In the Pioneer league, SaH Lake will again be the team to beat and in the Industrial, Am-erican Fork will have another strong entry. They have added Mike Wood to their roster. Mike was a catcher most of his stay around these parts, but last year with Phoenix in the Class C Southwest International he turn-ed pitcher and had a 6 and 2 re-cord. He will play the Infield and pitch for the Forkers. Earl Owens is lining up a good team at Helper. He has two good ones in Radulovich and Culli-mor- e, also Bill Green in his out-field. Provo will be under new sponsorship this year with the veteran Glen Berg as manager. The local entry hasn't let out much news as to who they have as yet. But understand that Man-d- el Wilson is lining up some men for Manager Mack Peyton. Prob-ably have a pretty fair nine when school is out for the sum-mer. The big league race is lining up with the Yankees the favor-ites in the American league, and the Giants and Brooklyn in the National. Of course the two clubs have been hurt.

Workouts for the BDAA base-ball team will begin in the near future, and the boys will have to crowd a lot of practice into a short time. The Utah Industrial league will begin play in early May, leaving very little time for the locals to round into shape. Mandcl Wilson, handling 'the manager duties until Mack Pey-ton is back from school, will be-gin workouts as soon as weather permits. While the team is being form-ed and rounded into condition, you folks can help us by joining our Baseball Bandwagon. Wo need the whole hearted support of everyone interested in keep-ing good baseball entertainment in Bingham. Membership in the BDAA is one good way of help-ing us put over this fine sport again. New improvements have been added to the beautiful base-ball park at Copperton, espec-- 1 ially the splendid modern change rooms in the deep center field. This has long been a need ; for our baseball set - up and will make a great deal of difference, in player and spectator interest. Bingham has as fine a baseball park and playing field as there is in the state, and has had top-not-players for many years from our prep school on up. Let's all get behind our base-ball men and keep Bingham right up front in the most popular diamond sport.
