Provo Timps helped themselves to a 12-hit serving In the first four innings here Sunday to give a pleasing demonstration of how-to how-to - open - a - baseball - season by trouncing their old nemesis, Brigham City, 6 to 3. Magna-Garfield unveiled a title-minded title-minded team which pounded out a 4-1 trumph over the defending champion Gemmell club at Magna, Mag-na, and Pinney Beverage came through with a 7-3 victory over Helper at Salt Lake City in other Sunday games. Although he yielded 10 hits and was in hot water at the start of the contest, Earl (Spot) Clegg, ace Provo hurler, southpawed his way to a convincing victory over the Peaches. He struck out five batters, walked but two, and proved effective In the clutches. Stone Comes Too Late Provo players today were thanking thank-ing a broken fuel pump for a large share of their triumph. Howard Stone, brilliant light-handed light-handed Brigham hurler who is always al-ways potent against Provo, arrived ar-rived with his bad medicine a little too late because the car in. which he was riding stalled in Salt Lake City with fuel pump trouble. When he finally did get to Provo Pro-vo and warmed up sufficiently to take the place of Cad Shafer, who started, the Timps had all the runs they needed and were ahead with a 6-2 lead. It was a good thing they were, because Stone didn't allow a hit nor a run in the five innings he toiled. The contest started out as a free hitting slugfest, with Provo getting- 12 and Brigham eight hits in the first four innings, and then settled, down to a tight pitching duel between Stone and Clegg, -th the latter coasting to vic tory. jrrovo Scores First-After First-After Brigham had gone down without a murmur in their half of the first frame, Provo batsmen teed off asainst Southpaw Shafer with a four-hit, three-run blast in the initial inning. . Verl Eaum and Lee Christiansen started the tilt wth doubles, and Len Page singled to score Christiansen. Chris-tiansen. Skipper Lob Collins,' who played right field in the absence of Fran Dudley, smashed a double dou-ble to right field to send Page home and the Timps were on the way to victory. Bill Cowley, Steinbeck. and Southy Frantz punched out singles sin-gles to score a run for Brigham in the second, but Clegg struck out two and forced another to fly out to halt the threat. Shorty Shurtliff opened tho second for Provo with a single, but was caught off base and Sha-. Sha-. fer retired the side in order. Clever Heidi ng Brigham picked up one run on four hits in the fourth and only a clever fielding play by the Timps prevented additional counters. With Occie Evans on third base, Lindy Serpa tried to steal second. He was caught in the hot box. and then Skipper Evans was picked Rugs Come Qacli Like Kew From WADSEtl'S We've sent rugs to Madsens that looked beyond be-yond any hope of saving.

Give your furnishings longer life by calling 475 MadlcQia-GflQaimSmic Gsd off third in a snappy double play. Then, with the bases empty, Bill Cowley showed what might have happened by blasting a triple. Provo retaliated with a run in the third from hits by Lee Christiansen, Chris-tiansen, Manager Collins, and Don Overly, and then unleashed some more heavy artillery in the fourth for their final two counters. Shurtliff singled, and Clegg tripled into center field to score him. Baum sent Clegg home, and Christiansen sent Shafer to the showers with another single. Stone relieved Shafer at this point, purposely pur-posely passed page, retired Kump, who sacrificed the runners around, and then forced Collins to hit into a double play. Final Run Brigham's final run came in the eighth inning when Raldo Call raced to third on Baum'a overthrow over-throw and scored on Evans' single. sin-gle.

Apparently all the Cougars needed a week of warm weather to get themselves into good con dition. Utah, and B. Y. U. notched up almost identical scores in defeating defeat-ing the Aggies. The Utes won by 81'i; points to 58, while Young U triumphed, 82-58. Utah's victory vic-tory over the Cougars was 81.8 to 58.2. Taking into account, the Cougars' Cou-gars' Improved showing against Utah State, observers believe the meet will be a close, two-way fight between Young U and Utah, with the Redskins given a slight edge.
