Show Sports Here and There by Al Ablctt Another All-Star game gone into the records and the National League won, making it six out of the last seven. Casey Stengel just can't seem to win one of these classics despite his success in world series play. In my book the power has definitely switched switch-ed to the National League. Outside Out-side of the Yankees the American Amer-ican League just doesn't have a power hitting team. Several have good hitters but I mean where four or five men in the line-up that can go for the long one. This game may not go down in history as one of the great all-star all-star games but the players that was supposed to do the things did them. Mays, Musial, Williams Wil-liams and Mantle are supposed to hit the long ball and they did just that. McMillan is a great fielder and he showed it as did Boyer and Temple. Billy Pierce and Johnny Antonelli pitched great ball. All in all it was a good ball game and some 29,000 fans enjoyed it. A great many things happening happen-ing in the P.C.C., a probe going on that shows every school they have looked into has violated their purity code one way or another. an-other. The thing I can't understand under-stand is that they ' penalize the school and the boy that took the help but they say nothing about the people that are responsible for the violation. It has bben shown that some of the coaches paid out the money and I am sure that someone in authority knew about these booster clubs. But these people go untouched. Why not put the blame where it belongs and leave the kids alone. These same coaches are the first to holler if a baseball or football scout approaches one of their,, good prospects and at the same time they will be paying pay-ing the boy under the table which as far as ethics are concerned con-cerned is much worse. Well I was right in assuming that the .Utah U Board of Regents Re-gents would turn the West Jordan Jor-dan promoters down for the use of the stadium for a championship champion-ship fight. They give no reason because they have none. Our state set' up a fund and appointed appoint-ed a board to get publicity for state. I think the sum was some $25,000 yet these men will turn down a chance for the state to reap a million dollars worth of publicity that they could get for free, to say nothing of the thousands thous-ands that would be left in Utah from outsiders for an event of this kind. You figure it out, its beyond me. Talked to Sanky Dixon wtfio is in charge of tennis for the county recreation and he tells me he is going to have a good program for Bingham district. He along with some of Utah's better players will start giving lessons at Copperton and he will have some tournaments for all classes of players. So watch for the dates and this is all free. See you later. Al |
