The new name means only that the loop officials have dropped the semi-pr- o tag, and will go under Northwest Baseball Lea-gue. At the last meeting of league officers it was decided to start the season with four teams, Mag-na, Midvale, Doc Johnson's of Sandy, and the local BDAA nine. The two northern teams of last year, Morgan and Layton, did not signify any desire to be back again this season, but it is ex-pected that more squads from closer in may be drawn into this set-u- p. Herb Babcock, manager of the BDAA nine has already had con-tact with several of last season's players and feels that he should have a pretty fair group to start the new year. We are trying to line up more games for earlier starts, instead of the 8:00 p.m. time. We think more fans could enjoy the games if we started around five or six p.m. and even have some Sun-day afternoon games at home. Plans are being made for sev-eral exhibition games, perhaps with teams from some of the other leagues, and if arrange-ments can be made, a sort of play-of- f series will be held at the end of regular league play, winners of other strong circuits. : We are trying to centralize in-terest in good baseball near our community and hope in the near future that we can develop into the best league in the state. Players interested in the BD-AA ball club should contact Herb Babcock as soon as possible. We'll have more baseball news right along, and hope old man weather will cooperate with a few sunny days.

Sports Here and There by Al Ablett I was to write this while I was in Phoenix but you know how it is when you go somewhere and just get too busy to do anything but watch baseball. That is what happened to me. Was at the Giants training camp and I have never had a better time in my life. One thrill after the other. You know when you have read about these fellows for years, then to walk into the clubhouse and come face to face with them it is a thrill that I won't soon for-get. I arrived in the evening and Herman Franks had left word to call him. I did and he told me to report at the bail park at 8:30 the next morning. I thought that was pretty early for a big lea-guer but he told me they report-ed every morning at that time, my first lesson in the ways of a big leaguer. Not all play you see. At the ball park bright and early the next morning and at 8:30 sharp there came Leo Duro-che- r, Herman Franks, Frank Shellinback and Fred Fitzsim-mon- s. These are the fellows that put the Giants through their paces. Went into the club house and was introduced to the fel-lows as they came in. Everyone must be in uniform and ready to go by 10:30 a.m. that is. Frank Shellinback took me with him as he took the pitchers for their preliminary work before the rest of the team reports for batting practice. Frank is classed by base ball men as one of the best pitch-ing coaches in the business and I was soon to find out why. No detail is too small. I then went to watch Fitzsimmons work with them on their fielding. Franks was in charge of the infielders and Durocher is the big boss. Everything is done on schedule, and no one is exempt. The next day they had a inter-(Continu- ed oon page four) TEN PIN TAPS by Al Ablett The Majors have finished the season with the A & M team out in front by a comfortable mar-gin. This team composed of Wee Lopez, captain; John Kallen, Mickey Callisto and Dave Gon-Izal- es took charge right after the start of the season and were nev-er headed. Great spirit and the ability to win the close ones made them a tough outfit on any given night. Russ Boren's team finished with Russ having a great year. Here is the rest of that team: Ned Chestnut, Gus Katis and Paul Slotte. The Wednesday night league finished this week and it found Johnny Anderson and his team-mates winning the flag. A num-ber of coming bowlers were un-covered in this bunch and next year you will be hearing from them. The new bowlers tournament being held for those that didn't take part in league play is being led at the half way mark by Lanny Caldwell with Beck a close second. The Wednesday night Round Robin will start next week. A tournament will be held with the winner going to the Mock Ritz Classic starting next week. Handi caps will be in effect.
