Show JPAGE FOUR PROVO (UTAH) SUNDAY HERALD, SUKPAY, MAY 16, 1937 MOVO MEETS MVAB1IMG MHHE 1 PI ? " CHRISTENSEN 5- TO PITCH FOR PROVO OUTFIT Sammy Christensen, wao last year pitched Provo to many baseball base-ball triumphs, will start on the mound when the Timps oppose the visiting- U. S. Mines team at 2:30 p. m. here today. Christensen last year pitched more games thah any hurler in the State Industrial league, and upon only a few occasions . was he battered out of the box. After a late start this season, he has rounded into good shape, and local fans expect him to be a real puzzle to the U. S. Mines batsmen. Don Overly, slender catc'ner, will start behind the bat, according to Manager Lefty Cole. The rest of the Timp lineup will be as follows: Len Page, first base; LaVar Kump, second; Lob Collins third; Frank Bran ting, shortstop; Fran Dudley, centerfield; Alva Jensen, leftfield; Ginder, rightfield. Provo has yet to break into the victory column in 1937 Industrial league play. The Timps have dropped decisions to Gemmell club and Magna-Garfield. U. S. Mines also is having trouble getting started this season. Both team? are set on winning today's game. "We have at least an even chance to win," Manager Cole of Provo said Saturday. Addition of Lob Collins to the Timp lineup will incorporate strength. Collins was the leading hitter on the team last year, and did a fine job of fielding at third base. LaVar Kump. who played at third in the opening game last Sunday, looks like a real find. He was shifted to second base for the Magna game Wednesday, and turned in a brilliant exhibition. He will be a cynosure of today's game. Fran Dudley, who apparently is going out for the league batting crown in earnest, will be watched for his heavy . stick work. Alva Jensen, another outfielder who has proved his ability to hit the ball, may make things tougn for U. S. Mines' pitchers. Ginder. Provo Pro-vo rightfielder, will be out to get his initial hit in three games. Should Christensen falter on the mound, either Bill Lancaster or Lefty Cole will rush in for relief iluty. Lancaster. who pitched against Magna Wednesday is termed "the sweete.-t pitcher in the league" by Albert Kirkpat-rick, Kirkpat-rick, president of the Provo Baseball Base-ball club. Schoolboy Rowe Off the Payroll DETROIT, May 15 0IP Lyn-wood Lyn-wood (Schoolboy) Rowe considered one of the Detroit Tigers' best pitchers, has been removed from the payroll "until he gets himself in shape," a spokesman for the Tiger management said today. The pitching sensation of 1934, Rowe has been unable to p!tch a full game since the season started. In two . appearances as a relief pitcher, the Arkansas schoolboy was driven from the hill.

A troop of educated donkeys will come into Provo from Arizona for local player? to ride.

The same donkeys as will play in the game in Provo appeared appear-ed in Portland, Seattle and other large cities where ballplayers and local dignitaries all anppared m the ?ame. The idea of the game is that all plavers are to be mounted on donkeys, except the j catcher, pitcher and batter. When I the hall is hit by the butter, he I must mount his donkey to run the bases. One donkey. called "Babe R.uth" will run the entire ! round of bases every time the ball j is hit vhether he is tagged out or ! iot. A riotou-s time is promised to all who will attend this novel entertainment. en-tertainment.
