Timps Play Host To Murray Today With nothing to lose and everything every-thing to gain, the Provo Timps will take the field at 2:30 p. m. this afternoon against the league-leading league-leading Murray Smelterites. Murray, currently tied with Brigham for the top rung of the Industrial league ladder, hopes to retain that position with a win over Provo, but the Timps, who got back on the right track last Wednesday with a decisive win over Helper, would like nothing better than to knock off the Occie Evans crew. Spot Clegg will open on the mound for the Timps. He will probably be opposed by veteran Frank Shephard, who has been poison to the local crew all season. With Ernie Jensen away on vacation, the Timps will lose some of their batting power, for Randy Clark will open in left field with Lee Brooks in right. Both are comparatively light hitters. The rest of the Provo crew seem to be regaining the punch that made them a threat right up until the first half playoffs. The Timp infield of Page, Wilson, Rasmuson and Bird packs a lot of wallop, and with Alva Jensen hitting like a house afire in center cen-ter field, the Provo roster has a high explosive potential. The Timps would give a lot to knock off Murray today as it would not only break their Sunday Sun-day home game losing streak, but would also give the locals revenge re-venge for the beating Murray administered ad-ministered early in the second half.

And in many cases he is right and in most cases he does- not take advantage of 'this right. But for the last few months, there has been developing-uv Provo Pro-vo baseball fans a situation which is rapidly giving Provo" a black mark in the v book of sportsman ship all because of -a few rattlebrained rattle-brained fan's who either -do not have the decency or the intellig ence to realize that-they are over' stepping even the nebulous bounds of what rights a fan has. What these few fans, do not take into consideration is that a player also has his rights. And these rights include protection from abuse and insults hurled at them by fans who feel they are protected by the fact that they paid 40 cents for a ' seat in the bleachers. There Is no place In American Amer-ican sports for a man who Is so 111 -considered as to bring up a man's personal character, charact-er, hla nationality, his creed or his color yet the Helper baseball team left Provo last Wednesday with the Impression Impres-sion that Provo fans are poor sports, and that Impression will stick. The was no justification for the man who insulted a Helper play er with a reference to his color and his character last Wednesday. There would have been no cen sure of the player among most of the fans who witnessed the incident if the fiery Helperite had climbed into the bleachers and settled the argument with viol ence the way it began. Instead, it is to the credit of the visiting ball player that he merely told the fan off, in words that should have made some of the locals squirm with shame. In so doing, he gave the Provo bleachers a lesson In sportsmanship sportsman-ship that a few of them ought to learn, and learn fast. We have seen baseball played in a number of places during the last three years In Hawaii and on other Islands Is-lands that not too Ions aro belonged to the Nipponese. Teams played against each other with players of every creed and nationality on earth represented and played play-ed before stands of roujrh men who had been taught to be ruthless against their foes. These games were as bitterly bitter-ly contested on the field as any we have ever seen here but the bitterness was only in the quality of the play and It never came off the MAJOR HOOPLE VEAH, AND IT MIGHT SB A MUCH 6C(?00SEj CHAMCE REMARK IM Hinj.

OF HUMOR WITH WEBSTER'S MOST TOUCHIH6 WORDS.' mi. 3 i field to express Itself In Insulting In-sulting remarks about things which are a 'player's personal business. There is a difference in the baiting of ball players. All play ers who perform in a sport ex pect a ribbing from home fans, especially visiting players. It is just as much of the game -as the ball and bat. But they expect the ribbing to be confined to their playing alone, and not their personal per-sonal beliefs, habits and color. The vannted American sportsmanship sports-manship Is disintegrating hot Heaven help us if it has gone that Jar. And while we are on the subject, sub-ject, of a minority of Provo fans and the problem of sportsmanship, sportsman-ship, lets go a little deeper and consider another angle. There isn't very many times, in a season sea-son when a ball player who, is representing a team deliberately lays down. Most of the time, win, los or draw, they are giving their best. They expect some hooting when they make errors which the best of players sometimes do but they really real-ly don't expect, nor should they, a storm of rase such as the Provo fans vent upon their own players at times. Nor do they expect to be heckled from the start of a ball game, before they have done anything to warrant such heckling. At least let the suy do something wrong be-for be-for you yell. "G'wan home, ya bum!" A ball player can't play his best game when with each ball that comes to him he is thinking "What yell will go up if I miss this one." Most players can ignore a lot of this stuff, but players have some feelings too. One trouble with these diehard die-hard name callers is that they've been spoiled by winning teams, and they can't take occasional defeat. de-feat. You can t win all the time, and one of the first cardinal principles of a great sport is not how to conduct yourself while you are winning any one with any sense can do that but rather how to lose gracefully. It is just about time that these few "wolves" took a leaf from the book of the rest of the fans and went to a ball game to see the game, and not to see how many insulting remarks they can make.
