Show B.D.Ai FLASHES by Jim Abplanalp BDAA COPS FIRST HALF; BEGIN SECOND ROUND The local BDAA baseball nine! was crowned first half champs of the Northwest Semi-pro cir-, cuit last week, as they led the field with eight wins and four losses. The Bingham crew was assured of the crown after downing down-ing Magna-Garfield at Magna in a slug fest 21 to 9. Manager Herb Babcock will have the same line up practically intact for second half play, with the addition of maybe a new pitcher or two. The boys have been garnering plenty of hits in their last several games, but could do with another reliable hurler. Defensively the local club has held up pretty well, but could stand improvement. Bingham will open second half! play Sunday, July 18, at 2:00 pm. against the rejuvenated Layton club at Layton. This squad showed show-ed a lot of power and improvement improve-ment in late games of the first half, and must be reckoned with in the second round chase. Most of the clubs will be trying try-ing to strengthen their rosters for second half play, and the race should be a great deal more exciting. ex-citing. The BDAA nine will play its first home game at Copperton, July 21, in a night affair against Morgan at 8:00 p.m. The Bingham Bing-ham merchants and business men are again donating some very fine prizes to be given a-way a-way at all of the BDAA home games. Everyone present will have a chance to win, so come on out and have some fun, while supporting our baseball team.
