B.J. SANTISTEVAN FUNERAL TODAY AT HIGH SCHOOL Funeral services for Bailey John Santistevan, 52, veteran Bingham high school baseball and football coach, will be held today, Friday, at 1:00 p.m. in the Bingham High School auditorium at Copperton. Friends may call at the high school today, Friday, from 11:00 a.m. to time of services. Interment will be in Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park, under the direction of Bingham Mortuary. Mr. Santistevan passed away unexpectedly Tuesday evening, June 15, at 7:30 p.m. at his home in Copperton of a heart ailment. News of his passing saddened this community. Many glowing tributes from far and near are being paid to this well-know- n local figure who carved a niche in athletic circles. Santistevan was best known for the development of young baseball stars, his teams at Bing-ham high school1 won the state championship 12 times, but in the many years of his football coaching at Bingham he produc-ed more than his share of champ-ionship elevens. Only last week Bailey was one of the coaches for the annual "North vs South" game in Ogden, a game pitting the top baseball star of the state against each other. And he was looking for-ward to another summer of teaching baseball to the hund-reds of youngsters on the play-grounds of Bingham. His work in American Legion Junior baseball is almost the story of the program itself in Utah. He was coach and first director of the Legion program in the Bingham area and his teams have either been state champions in the American Leg-- 1 ion program or close to it for many years. The latest of his proteges, San-- , ny Robertson, a youngster who was an outstanding football, bas-- 1 ketball and baseball player at Bingham this year and who has been one of Bailey's "boys" since he was old enough to toddle, just signed a contract with the New York Giants. One of the newer buildings at Bingham high school is a tribute to the veteran coach. He design-ed and supervised the construc-tion of a new stadium house, where facilities are just about perfect for high school sports. At the time of his death, he was school athletic director and baseball and foot-ball coach at Bingham High School. Coach Santistevan was born September 4, 1901, in Los Ana-mo- s, Colo., a son of John and Teresina Hart Santistevan. He came to Utah in 1926, to play baseball in the old Copper Lea-gue. Before that he was gradu-ated from Colorado A and M, where he was an star in sports. He coached at El Paso high school in Texas for one year before coming to Utah. He mar-ried Edith May Mitchell in Bing-ham on June 21, 1926. Surviving besides his widow, Copperton, are two daughters, Nanette and Susan Santistevan, Copperton; a son, Bailey John Santistev.an Jr., a consulting en-tomologist in Mexico; his par-ents, Los Anamos, Colo.; three sisters, Mrs. Flora Esbeck, Lu-cille and Edith Santistevan, Den-ver, and a grandson, Mexico. RECREATION ACTIVITIES COPPERFIELD Our second week of recreation was more enjoyable than our first. We introduced dancing into our program with such dances as Oxford Minuet and the Schott-ish- e. We drew pictures, braided boondoggle and water colored pictures. Also played many gam-es and had relay races. On Wednesday we went to Murray park for Huck Finn day and really had a swell time fish-ing, swimming, and I almost for-got, eating. We didn't catch many fish from this area but we surely enjoyed watching the experienc-ed fishermen drag in the trout. Prizes were awarded for the first fish caught, largest fish caught and the most fish caught by boys and girls respectively, and also for the best dressed boy and girl. We will all miss our friend and leader, Sandy, but we will try to carry on as he would have us do if he were here. Reported by Jim Carrigan and Pat Redmond. BINGHAM Summer recreation continued in high gear this week. The boys are working on shadow boxes in the arts and crafts room and ev-eryone is getting to be an expert hit-pi- n soccer player. This game seews to be the favorite right UVVY. Huck Finn Day was held at Murray Park Wednesday. The boys and girls left Bingham at 8:00 a.m. They fished until noon and then went swimming and ate their lunches. The first fish was caught by Ray Morris Gray.

ITEMS NEEDED v FOR GALENA DAYS MUSEUM A museum of items represent-- ' ing early-da- y Bingham Canyon is being planned in the business district for this year's Galena Days celebration, according to Bob Jimas, general chairman. C. A. Morley, chairman of the Museum Committee, and Russell Anderson, who is assisting him, would appreciate hearing from anyone who either knows of. or has suitable items they would be willing to donate or loan for use in the museum. According to Mr. . Morley, small items, particularly, are dvsired, such as early-da- y pictures, miners' picks, lamps, and other items that are small enough to be suitable for display. If present plans materialize, the museum will be located in a building in the business district, so it will be conveniently avail-able for visitors to this year's Galena Days celebration. Mr. Morley has issued an invitation for assistance from anyone in the business district who can help provide items for the museum. Anyone who can be of assistance should get in touch with either Mr. Morley or Mr. Anderson. According to Mr. Jimas, Ken-necott has offered to cooperate in the establishment of the mu-seum; and if this year's project is successful, the committee has even given some thought to the possible establishment of a per-manent museum for the 100,000 tourists who visit Bingham Can-yon every year.r Grant S. Williams, field repre-sentative of the Salt Lake City social security office will be in the City Hall at Bingham Can-yon at 11:00 a.m. on June 22 to answer inquiries on Social Se-curity and assist applicants to file claims.

Sandy was not just another man in our town, he was an institution. I knew ihim in Colorado when he still had another year to go in college. He was playing ball in Cripple Creek along with Los Sumnicht, and the fellow was as well thought of there, as he was ev-erywhere he went. In his career as a coach he has not only molded winning teams but he has been a great influence in the lives of every boy that he came in contact with. 50 if it was to be that he was to leave us I am glad that the commissioner of all leagues saw fit to have Sandy's 1954 baseball team crowned champions of the state. I am sure that he will make the all-st- ar team when that very same commissioner gets ready to pick them. 51 I will say to all the boys that Sandy has coached as he would have said to you, let us play to win but let us also play according to the rules. To his family we give our heartfelt sym pathy because you have lost a great father and husband as we have all lost a great friend. Don't feel much like writing about sports at this time, just take this space to tell the bowl-ers of Bingham that starting next Monday there will be a Rag time Doubles held at the Club. Each team may enter as many times as they wish and it will run the rest of the month of June. Entry fees will be one dollar a man plus bowling. You can bowl on any pair of alleys. Three gam-es will be a set and the handicap will be 60 per cent of the differ-ence between your average and 200. AL B.D.A.A FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp BDAA DOWNS MORGAN; HOLD LEAGUE LEAD The local BDAA nine kept out front in the Northwest circuit by overcoming Morgan this week 8 to 2. Warren Sumnicht went the route for Bingham, scattering ten hits and striking out six, as well as lashing out a two bagger. Gary LaComb blasted out a single, double, and home run in four trips to the plate to lead the local attack. Dow, Wegkamp, and Steinke all garnered two hits to help the cause, and the entire club turned in a sparkling de-fensive chore. Three double plays helped Sumnicht turn in his second win. Wegkamp turned in an outstand- - ing job in centerfield, as he cut off a couple of possible rallies with some very good throws. The BDAA club now has five wins and one loss to top the lea-gue standings. PLAY MAGNA HERE SUNDAY The locals play a return en-gagement against Magna here Sunday afternoon, June 20th, at 2:30 p.m. Magna holds the only win, so far this season, over the IBDAA crew, and Manager Bab-coc- k hopes to even matters with the Millmen. Kenny Austin will probably toe the mound for Bing-ham in this one, against either Max Pessetto or Marv Eyre of the visitors. Don't miss this afternoon game, there will be quite a number of fine prizes given away to lucky ticket holders. BINGHAM LOSES "MR. BASEBALL" Our entire organization was shocked this week at the sudden passing of our grand friend and coach, Bailey Santistevan. Many of us have been well acquainted with his years of devotion to the athletic and spiritual develop-ment of the youth of our com- - munity. The name "Sandy" long synonymous with good, clean athletics, will be mourned, but never forgotten by his thousands of friends and pupils. The BDAA offers its sincere sympathy to the family of our departed friend. "Mr. Baseball", of Bingham will probably keep right on doing what he set out to do many years ago, inspire the kids to play their games just a bit better and to become better citizens in the process. BASEBALL ': PLAYGROUND by DelMar Schick About 28 years ago a very grand fellow made his appear-ance in this camp as a baseball player and a great one he was for about 10 years that he played in the fast Copper league. This great man and athlete seen the need of some recreation for the boys of our community and or-ganized the summer baseball program. Since that time he de-veloped it into the finest base-ball program in the state of Utah. Yt?s, we all know that this man was Bailey Santistevan, who passed away Tuesday evening. Some of Sandy's older boys will remember the hours he spent sewing up old baseballs so we could have something to play with. The tradition that he left and the spirit of this immortal man will always remain on our summer playground. May God bless him and his wonderful fa-mily for the fine things they have done for tohis community. ..... TENNIS by Jim Carrigan This week we moved into com-petition, which before the week was over, grew very keen. Some of the boys who thought they were pretty good, were humili-ated by a group of girls who de-feated them in a real tough bat-tle, but I think they will come back and revenge the defeat in the next week or two. We have tentatively set the date for our old man's tourna-ment for around July 12. Any-one oyer 20 interested in playing in this tournament contact me at 549-- We will also have a kids tournament shortly after the old men's tournament. Everyone in the Bingham area has really lost a friend, but the good Sandy did in athletics and many other things will always be remembered. - - Highland Boy Community House Church School 10:00 a.m. Evening worship 7:00 p.m. A Methodist work camp group of four young people and their stu-- ' dent minister lrom White Tem-ple, Anaheim, Calif., are to be helpers and students at the Com-munity House for ten days.
