Show Sports Mere and There by Al Ablett The high school baseball team lost to Tooele 8 to 7 at Tooele last Monday to throw the Jordan Jor-dan Division into a playoff between be-tween these same two teams today to-day (Thursday) on the Jordan field. This should be a real pitchers battle, between two of the best high school pitchers in the state Williams of Tooele and Cowdell of the Bingham Miners. Theses two young left handers have each lost but one game and that was to each other. Williams is a senior and Cowdell a junior. The Bingham left hander has struck out 31 men in his last two games, getting 18 against Murray and 13 in a losing los-ing cause last Monday. The Utah Industrial League got off to a flying start last Sunday Sun-day with Magna defeating Helper Help-er 7 to 2 and the last year's championship American Fork club defeating the local entry 16 to 1. Manager Mack Peyton had a make shift lineup for the opener op-ener and it looks like he will have to go along that way until the college season is over. Provo and Brigham City will have opened op-ened by the time you read this. Magna has .a good young club with excellent pitching in " Ray Saunders, Max Pessetto and Marvin Eyre. Leif Erickson is still around to help out in relief and to help the youngsters over the tough spots. Helper has a good club and if Manager Earl Owen comes up with a couple of good pitchers they will be heard from. Utah U. took the Aggies in a double header held at Magna Tuesday to go into a tie with Montana, and BYU can join them in a three-way deadlock by taking tak-ing a double header from the Aggies this week end. Basil Williams, Utah's lean right hander held the Aggies to three hits to win the opener Tuesday 4 to 0. Hlavaty, the Aggies' Ag-gies' ace left hander, gave eight hits and pitched good enough to win most games. Just too much Williams. Astle bested Leatham in the night game 5 to 2. But for a couple of miss cues by the Aggie Ag-gie infield they could have still been playing. The play off for the Western Division will have to wait for the results on the Aggie-BYU series this week. The Gemmell Club is staging its first big Bingo Party Saturday Satur-day night and a great array of prizes has been gathered. There are some good ones there for the sportsmen. So be sure to be there. See you next week. AL O |
