Deb Dudley, who turned in a fine catching performance per-formance Friday, will again be behind the plate. Pinney, although way down in standings in the first half, is out to win the second "half, so Kenny Price, the lanky righthand ace who is really tough when he has his sturf, will start for the Bev-eragemen.

Heavy hitting, ninth-inning rallies ral-lies that fell short, and plenty of thrills, featured the holiday twin bill here Friday, with the Timps , falling short of Gemmell club in the first game then trouncing Pinney Beverage in the second contest.

Then with the bases loaded, two men out, and the Provo crew needing one run to tie and two to win, Verl Baum strode to the plate and smashed a long high drive to deep right center. The hit looked good for at least three bases and the winning runs but Pazell streaked over and brought down the drive With a marvelous, lunging catch. Gemmell Strikes Early Gemmell club scored all of its runs In the first three innings, getting three in each of the first, second, and third frames to blast Shepherd then Clegg from the mound. Deb Dudley came in to stop the rally and then settled down to pitch fine ball, . allowing only three hits in the last six and one-third one-third innings. Provo pecked away at the lead in the fifth inning by pushing across a run on consecutive doubles doub-les by Lee Christiansen and Verl Baum. The Timps garnered two more in the sixth as Fran Dudley doubled and Berge singled him home. Berge scored as Shorty Shurtliff and Deb Dudley singled.

PAGE FOUR SUNDAY 4 HERALD, SUNDAY,1 JULY 6, 1941 BY HARRY GRAYSON , ; NEA Service Sports Editor NEW YORK, July 5 United Service Organizations would have fared better financially with Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth had they had the old baseball heroes hit golf balls over the center field stands of ball parks. The great majority of baseball fans, knowing little about golf, would have considered that amaz ing. Expecting the ordinary baseball customers to travel far out in the country and pay. to see Cobb and Ruth slug a golf ball was like bringing Walter Hagen and Gene Sarazen into Ebbets Field for the purpose of swatting fungoea. I don't know how. well The Ha.ig and Sarazen could hit fun-goes. fun-goes. They probably would do as well comparatively as Cobb and Ruth did on the golf course. But the average diamond filbert fil-bert knows less of Hagen and Sarazen than he does about golf. He wouldn't be interested, and no doubt would shout: "Throw the bums out!" It was the long built-up legend of Mysterious Montague that attracted at-tracted some 10,000 persons to Fresh Meadow four years ago for that supposedly fabulous character's charac-ter's benefit exhibition with Ruth, Babe Didrikson and Sylvia Annen-berg. Annen-berg. That it wasn't a golf gallery at all was quickly shown when many of the boys climbed the fence, ran through the ropes and trampled marshals. . r r : : "V 7 JT W W m v jji mas tilts nomer: Dodgers WlM'Eetid Box Scores P1XNEY AB H O A Camiiamt; 2h .1 2 0 I.indorff. of 4 1 5 Tesak. ng i 0 1 Tucker, lb 3 111 Tedesco, 3b S 3 3 Mori.

Many flies are bringing results, re-sults, but one that is particularly particu-larly successful Is a Gray-Hackle Gray-Hackle with a yellow body. It Is about the closest Imitation Imita-tion of bisects on the Provo and the trout really take to it. Doc Frank Reynolds, who claims the distinction of being the worst fisherman in Utah county, says fishing must be getting good on the Provo. He caught three last week and contends the worms must bite the fish. The hot weather Is forcing the trout down,' especially the big ones during the heat of the day, so It Is necessary to fish near the bottom In cool shady; spots for best catches. Early morning and late evenings eve-nings are the best times' to go after them with flies. It looks like there may be a little good fishing on the Strawberry Straw-berry yet. A few "lunkers" are in the spillway and in a few weeks after the water recedes we should get some fair fishing. The season at Strawberry is still early, consequently one cannot determine de-termine the true damage which was wrought last .winter. There is some talk of closing Strawberry after 10 days, but most of the anglers prefer leaving it open. Their contention is that you may as well catch as many as possible, because it is almost impossible for the fish and game department to protect the fish in winter. Lee Kay, deputy warden, has made considerable study on this problem. More than 8000 holiday specta tors lined the banks of the Provo river Friday to witness boating thrills as the Provo boat club staged its most successful regatta, regat-ta, a feature of the July Fourth celebration in Provo. Out-of-town pilots dominated the meet, with Salt Lakers capturing cap-turing three firsts in the eight events. Ogden drivers won two events, with drivers from Provo, Murray, and Coalville each winning win-ning once. Carlson Wins-Only Wins-Only Provo driver to win was Bill Carlson who piloted "Oscar" to victory in the featured class A hydroplane race, defeating Thane Free and Ashley Smith. It was Free who captured the final race of the day, the free-for-all. He brought "Scorchy III" in first with a remarkable time of 2:46 minutes. In the closest race of the day, As-hley Smith of Salt Lake City pushed "Miss Sharee" to a iTrst place ahead of Craig Clark, youthful youth-ful Provo speedster, in the 22-horsepower 22-horsepower runabout class.

The trout at Fish Lake are still in the shallow banks and good catches are being made on flatfish flat-fish and spinners. Too many boats on the lake and warmer weather will drive the fish to deeper waters wat-ers soon where deep trolling will be necessary to catch them. Sportsmen of the state lament losing Newell Cook as fish and game commissioner. Cook is without with-out a doubt one of the best fish and game authorities in the nation na-tion and the sportsmen of the state will miss him. He is being replaced solely for political reasons.
