The resignation of Bob Jimas as president of the Bingham Dis-trict Activity Fund was handed in and accepted at a business meeting of the Fund board of directors held last Friday night at the Civic Center. The resigna-tion presented a problem, as none of the directors present wished to accept or take over the top position. A commit-tee of four men headed by Irvin Stillman, chairman; Joe Susaota, Dale Johnston and T. Earl Kelly was appointed to nominate of-ficers. Unless candidates for office are', found by this committee to take ' over the work of managing the fund and directing the campaign to raise funds for the coming year, the present board of direc-tors will become inactive for a . year, thereby leaving civic or-ganizations or others to support the youth activities otherwise receiving funds from the Acticity Fund. If the Activity Fund is discontinued, many of the activi-ties such as Xmas activities, boy and girl scouts, July 4th program, Highland Boy Community House, American Legion baseball, Civic Center activities and others sup-ported by the Activity Fund will suffer. Do you want the Bingham District Activity Fund to be dis--. continued because of the lack of finding anyone to direct it? Think the above over.

Bingham high has called prac-tice and Coach Santistevan is putting his charges through some tough sessions. High school doesn't have spring practice so it doesn't leave much time for the coaches to round their teams into shape for the opening of the season. Sandy has the nucleus for a pretty fair team, but hasnt had enough time yet to tell if some of his new boys are going to fit. Just a fair sized line and not too much speed. But then Bingham makes up for a lot of short coming by savy and fight. Wyoming is again picked in the Skyline with Denver and Utah right behind. BYU could be a surprise as could the Aggies. - Of course for the Farmers a great deal depends on whether the op-eration on "Babe" Duncan's leg was a success or not. With him Coach Roning will have a rough tough ball club. Coach Curtice of Utah says he will have a small club but 'will have plenty of speed. BYU has one of their big-gest squads and Coach Atkinson promises an interesting season. Thought you might like to know how some of the boys from our league are doing in organiz-ed ball. Kent Peterson, the form-er Pinney left hander is with Baltimore. He has won 5 lost 8, but Kent has been pitching some good ball. Fred Sanford is hav-ing a great year for Portland hav-ing won 15 and lost only six. Several big league clubs are said to be interested. Fred could help some of those clubs. He knows how to pitch. Hooks Iott is with St. Petersburg in the Florida In-ternational and going great guns. He has won 20 and lost nine. Hooks was up this spring with Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. By the looks of things they could both use him right now. TV has brought the fight game to thousands of fans. You hear them talking about all the fight-er- g and fights that they have seen, and of course without this great medium, the fans in the small communities would never have an ODDortunitv of seeine these top notchers in action. Tru-ly a great thing, this TV. , Bob Dunlap, the great colored heavyweight is making his home in Salt Lake. Marv Jenson bought a half interest in his contract and he is opening the season in Salt Lake. They have matched him in an outdoor show against Om-eli- o Agramonte. Agramonte twice fought Joe Louis. Joe won both times but Omelio was still around at the finish. So with Rex Layne scheduled for a couple of Salt Lake fights and Dunlap here all winter the fight faithful should have a good year. See you next week. AL . s FIREMEN FROLIC LITTLE SQUIRTS BEAT BIG JERKS 12 TO 10 With several of the firemen coming out of semi-retireme-the Copperton Softball field was the scene of a ding-don- g ball game Tuesday evening, this be-ing the first game the fire de-partment has played for several years. The Little Squirts, managed by Joe Susaeta staged a five-ru- n rally in the ninth inning to come out ahead in this epic struggle that broke up a pitching ?) duel between Lefty Creedon and Red Callen. Creedon went the entire game and Callen gave way to John Susaeta in the ninth. Hugo Bianchi caught the left hand slants of Creedon and Boyd And-erson was the receiver for the Jerks. Earl Rager was the man-ager for the Jerks. Stellar fielding held the score down as the rival first basemen, the Peterson brothers, Verl and Hosmer, managed to snare the high ones and the low ones. Reed Kelly at short for the Squirts and John Susaeta at third for the Jerks looked great. Hitting honors went to the pitchers, Creedon getting four for five and Callen three for four, Don Byrne and John Sus-aeta "With three hits apiece were right behind them. Home runs were made by Red Callen, Paul Groves, Earl Rager and John Creedon. Umpires for the game included Leonard Miller behind the plate, Irvin Stillman behind the pitch-e- r, Lawrence West and Jack Householder on the base3.. Left fielder Bill Harris had a seeing eye dog helping him, but he was given to the umpires late in the game to guide them around. A replay is scheduled for next Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock at the Copperton softball field. Come out and root for your fav-orite next week.

League Near End The B D A A entry in the Utah Industrial baseball league will wind up this season's play Sun-day at Helper against the Merch-ants. The locals have found the go-ing pretty rough throughout this years schedule, but have lost a lot of close ones. This week the Bingham nine dropped an 8 to 2 decision to Magna, first half champ3. Astle allowed only 6 bingles, but streaks of wildness proved too big a handicap. Stuckenschneider will probab-ly toe the slab at Helper, as the boys face this final encounter. Pigskin Parade Almost before the diamond season winds up it's fling, the football wars are ready to start. The local gridders are already working out, and the gridiron scuffles will be top attraction before we know it. The Skyline conference should have one of it's greatest seasons. Wyoming, the favorite, will face plenty of opposition from all three Utah schools. The Aggies, Utah, and BYU are all equipped with stronff teams and thp race could be a whirlwind affair. Next in the line of sports will come the winter basketball clash-es, and the BDAA hopes to keep it's members right in the thick of all these major sports activi-ties. Bowling begins this week in most of the major leagues, with several early season tournaments lined up. Several local keglers will be rollin' 'em in outside lanes, and the boys hope to get started before long on the local Gemmell Club alleys. The club lanes have just been resurfaced and should be in the best con-dition.
