Show Sports Here and There by Al Ablctt Spring at last and the baseball season in full swing. The local high school nine is out in front in the Jordan Division, and unless un-less they have more than their share of" bad luck should win the flag. Coach Schick has a good defensive club and the hitters are starting to meet the ball. In the Big Nine Class A high school teams, South High in Salt Lake looks the best, with East a close second. In college it will be a race between be-tween BYU and Utah. Montana broke even in four games with both schools but I doubt they have enough to win the pennant. Utah has a good looking club and Wayne Tucker has done a real good job at the Y. Got word that Midvale and Sandv are combining forces for the new State League. Don't know who they will come up with for the eighth team. I don't see how they can go with seven. They had a meeting last Tuesday in Midvale, and they settled on an umpiring staff, and got the by-laws straightened out. So as far as the organization is concerned con-cerned they are all get. It is up to the respective teams now. Had a glimpse of the Salt Lake Bees in a workout today, Thursday. Thurs-day. Gen. Mgr. Eddie Leishman is high on this year's team. He came up with a couple of Phillie prize prospects. A iboy 'by name of Green a pitcher and Farrick a second baseman. Green is a big boy 6-4 and over 200 lbs., with a Teal good fast ball. The fans are going to like this boy. Farrick is a kid that hustles every ev-ery minute with a real good pair of hands, and a line drive hitter.

Besides Ford the team was composed of Littlefield, John Anderson and Hawkins. Bingham bowlers did all right in the toig Ritz Classic tournament. tourna-ment. We had two in the first ten. Your writer was lucky enough to finish sixth, and Mickey Mick-ey Callisto was in the tenth spot. This year the Ritz had an entry list of 185 composed of the cream of the west. Bowlers from eight states were shooting for the $500 top prize. Stan Gifford, the defending de-fending champion finished fifth. Stan is bowling out of Chicago. Bill Ward of Salt Lake was top man. This makes the second time for Bill. He had 1659 for a 207 plus average for the eight games. The next big one is Elko this week end and most of Bingham's top shooters will be there. My bet is they will get their share of the loot. See you next week. |
