Show LOCAL JUNIORS SET FOR STATE TOURNAMENT Impressive Record Hung Up in District Play; Two Contests Con-tests Remain on Schedule Before State Meet Starts Fifteen St. George junior baseball players, accompanied by their manager and coaches, will leave early Tuesday morning morn-ing for Magna where on Wednesday Wed-nesday they will play their first game in the tournament to decide de-cide the Utah representative in the district meet in California the following week. Last year Vico Oil won the Utah honors, but lost in California to the Jerome, Arizona, team. The players who will be taken ta-ken on the trip are: Ed and Dick Lund, Don Judd, Murray Webb, Adrian Anderson, George Whipple, Charley Andrus, Howard How-ard Whitehead, Dick Sullivan, Clark Blake, Sid Sorenson, Dick Bentley, Preston Fullerton, Lynn Empey and Renae Hickman. The boys have made an impressive im-pressive record in the seventh district competition this year. With six of their eight games played, they have scored a total of 131 runs and made 123 hits against a total of 9 runs and 22 hits for their opponents. The two games at Parowan Friday are expected to boost this total considerably. Beaver and Parowan Paro-wan have each been shut out, and in three of the eight contests con-tests but six hits were collected off local pitchers. Four games have been played with Beaver and two with Parowan. The state meet, under the direction of the Utah department o? the American Legion, will start at 10 o'clock next Wednesday Wednes-day morning, and finish Friday afternoon when the two undefeated unde-feated teams will meet for the state title. Eight teams will take part in the elimination. |
