The Timps journey to Salt lUke to play - Pinney Beverage, first half winner?, in the opening tilt at 8:30 p. m. in Community park. The very same hour, sixty miles to the north of the capital city, Brigham City Peaches entertain the Magna Millmen. Play for the second-half bunting promises to be rugged. Brisrham City, Magna, Murray, and Provo are all deter mined to get in play ol with the Beverage team. However, "Kenny" Price lays he doesn't want a play-off and Is going out for the title. If he succeedes, it will be the first time one team has captured both halves, since Gemmel club turned the trick in 1939. Manager Don "Choc" Overly isn't saying much but his silence sueeests that he is well 'satisfied with his team for second, half play. For the first time in years the Tirana are well fortified with pitchers. Don boasts, a pitching staff which should be the cream of the league. "Big Bill" Harri-ean Harri-ean will be back, and m all like lihood will not have to toil like a cultivator horse every game. Harry Eisenstat. former Detroit and Cleveland left hander. whom fans will happily remember, will be with the Timps for a few weeks before going overseas. His stay is indefinite but you can be crtain Overly will "make hay while the sun shines" as long as he is around. Harry will un doubtedly get the assignment against "Cryin Kenny's" club to- nieht. "Choc" also blostered his pitching pitch-ing department when he signed 'Hank" Hansmann for the second half. He will help Provo plenty in their quest for the title. "Hank" did yeoman duty in putting put-ting Provo into the finals of the Utah Serai-Pro tourney and he expects to go on from there. "Spot" Clegg is hiting his stride and should have given Keams a real tussle for the Semi-Pro title had not hard luck arrived in the sixth inning of the final game. With this array of chuckers the Timps can be counted as a real contender for second half honors. The rest of the regular team is back and with Ernie Jensen, Len Page, Arnie Valcheck, Gler Berge. and Mike Randall in there swinging their lusty clubs the Brooklyn Pittsburgh .... New York .....

This game should be one of the best of the entire season Gund Hagg Loweiil World Mile Record PAGE 2 PROVO. UTAH COUNTY. UTAB WEDNESDAY, JUlT IS. ! DAILY HERALD Rt HUBERT ttULL United Press Staff Correspondent MALMOE, Sweden, July 18 (U.R) Gunder Hagg, the Swedish swifty, was less than half dozen steps today from the "impossible" four minute mile. If he could have picked up just six steps .somewhere along the line yesterday as he swept to a new world record of 4:01.4 in beating Ai'ne Anderson, he could have run the 'distance in a .time science once insisted was impossible. im-possible. Anderson, who set the previous mile mark of 4:01.6 last summer, was a distinct favorite when they met on the fait Malmo track. It was here that Anderson ran his record race on July 18, 1944, but he never had a chance against Hagg yesterday. Victory by ' the gaunt haber dashery salesman was all the more surprising because of his mediocre showing last spring in an Indoor tour of the United States when he failed to win a race and ran all of them in poor time. After his failure in America, track and field experts figured he was through and that Ander son, the Swedish schoolmaster, would replace him as the only living human who had a chance to break the mile mark. Then-ace renewed for the season intense two-year rivalry that Cas House Cang Has New Recruit to Help Sing to Pennant B CARL LTJNDQUIST t Mine of the season, at Boston as United Press Staff correspondent jtne incuans. toppea too a oox, an began in 1943 wnen Hagg was making his first American tour. Almost at in time mat ne was setting a new American record of 4:05.3 at Cambridge, Mass Anderson, a previously obscure schoolteacher, set the new world mark of 4:02.6 in Sweden. That eclipsed Hagg's mark of 4:04.6, set in 1942 and established the rivalry. The Swedes ran at various distances dis-tances durins the next season and Anderson again lowered the mile mark with a mark of 4:01.6. mm The Bible PARABLES OF JESUS From, the parable of the Sower as given in Luke 8: we also learn that people must HEAR- All four kinds of people peo-ple are spoken of as having HEARD, but what did they HEAR? By a study of Matt. 13:18-23 and Mk. 4:14-20 with Lk. 8:1-15, we learn that they heard the WORD OF GOD. Paul said: "And now, brethren, breth-ren, I comend you to God, and to the WORD of his grace, which is able to BUILD YOU UP, and to GIVE YOU AN INHERITANCE among all them which are sanctified." (Acts 20:32) Again in 2 Tim. 3:15 we read:. "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, WHICH ARE ABLE TO MAKE THEE WISE UNTO SALVATION through faith which is in Christ Jesus." These passages with many others that could be given, plainly teach that if we hear God's word as given to us in the Bible, and obey it, we will have eternal life. We need no other book or books, the Bible contains ALL THE REVEALED RE-VEALED WILL OF GOD TO MAN. CHURCH OP CHRIST 867 East Center, Prove Senators' Rush of Flag Power Shows Futility of 'Doping' NEW YORK, July 18 The astounding rise of the Washington Senators to a place of contention in the American league just goes to show the nonsense of trying to dope a war-time baseball race in advance. With men who know baseball best the managers Washington was the one club in the league 'ihich came in for no favorable mention before the battle started. And even after it :-was well un der way. after each team had made its first swing around the circuit, nary a soul was so generous gen-erous a to opine maybe the Nats would lend a few capers to the party, too. Joe Cronin of Boston kept say-in say-in the team to fear was New York. Joe McCarthy of New York pointed a finger of warning at the Browns. Steve O'Neill of Detroit admitted he was wary of Cleve land. Even the pathetic A's were given a few plugs. But no one seemed to have the slightest fear of Washington. Yet today, here are the Nats, big as life, moving right in on Detroit and the Yankees in the pennant fight. The futility of trying to dope a war-time season becomes even more apparent when you recall ithe behavior of Ossie Bluege, Washington manager, shortly before be-fore the race got under way. We bumped into him down in Maryland, Mary-land, where the Senators were training, and Ossie was perched on a little bench, sadly wagging his head from side to side. "How does it look to you, Ossie?" Os-sie?" we inquired. "Well, I think we can get through the season, all right," he replied. "But our infield is in bad shape, our pitching uncer tain, and for' the life of me I could not name three regular out fielders on this roster." He held up' a little card which listed, the Washington players. "Look at it," invited Ossie. "Why, I cannot even .talk United States to most of these fellows. And he pointed to the names of 14 Cubans Who were imported to ease the Nits' woeful shortage 01 laient, But today this same Ossie Bluege is making loud noises about how he knew all along he had a good hall club, how this spurt is no fluke, how the Nats will stay in contention because of their superior pitching and fighting qualities. He can back his words with figures. In winning five of nine from Detroit, -and six of 11 from New York, the Senators proved their strength against top opposi tion, rney did not grow fat at the expense of tail-end ball clubs. it just goes to snow you even the men who know baseball best can t pick 'em right these 4ays BeaversExpected Tolncrease Lecd In Pacific League Br UNTIED PRESS . Changes in the present order of Pacific coast league oaseDaii teams during th next week .of play are expected, but with two exceptions. ' The only changes not expected to occur involve the first-place Portland Beavers ana . last-place Hollywood. These two teams are currently playing each other in th Roue Citv. and Portland's superiority in all departments . is counted upon to increase their lead over second-place Seattle. Tuesday night the Beavers started out with that idea in mind. They went on a rampage good for 18 hits and a 13-3 victory, over the Stars. Inthe only other league contest Tuesday night, San Francisco Fran-cisco came out of its tailspin long enough to defeat the Rainiers, 3-1, behind the four-bit pitching of lanky Bob Joyce. j , The victory was Joyce's Zlst and protected his honors as. the league's leading, hurler. It also was the Seals fifth triumph in their- last 1? eames. of which Joyce won four and Bob Barthel- son the other. The Suds' defeat increased Portland lead to four and a half games. In fact, Vfoyce just about was San Francisco Tuesday flight. In addition to completely handcuffing handcuf-fing the Rainiers, he drove-in the first Seal run after walks by Ray Parry and Roy Nicely and a single by Joe Sprtaz filled the bases. Bernie Uhalt followed Joyce with a single to bat home the second marker. Parry added the third San Francisco run with a homo run over the left field t wall. Youthful Alex Palica started against Joyce, but was lifted for Mi pinch hitter in the seventh. Seat- tie didn't get an extra base bit off Joyce. . . ... Hollywood nudged veteran Ad LTkska for 13 hits, but they were;, good for only three runs. Portland, Port-land, on the other hand, collected , 16, amounting to 13 runs. Man ager Marvin Owen's team scored in every inning but the fifth and seventh. They didn't bat in the last of the ninth. In Hockley county, Texas, there is not a creek, river, guiley or ditch, therefore no bridges. - - " 1 T" 'I . . 1 1 ii m ,'.. " ' . . I ,, , - i i, NEW YORK. July 18(U.R) The VoUicking Red Birds of St Louis like mountain music almost as well as baseball, found a "tailor-made" "tailor-made" candidate for their current gas-house gang when Singer- Pitcher Charley Barrett moved over from the Boston Braves. To be sure they lost a talented gas-houser in Mort Cooper, who was able to give accompiisneo renditions of such Cardinal hillbilly hill-billy favorites as "Willie, My Toes Are Cold" and "The Chill On the Hill." But if Billy Southworth, the doughty little Cardinal pilot, had made a house-to-house canvass of every player in baseball, he probably prob-ably couldn't have found one that fitted in better with the spirited, hard-driving and fun-loving play ers on his club than "Red" Barrett. The talkative "barber" from Santa Barbara, Calif., has become the Cardinal cheer-leader, needling need-ling opponents both when he is pitching and when he is lolling in the dugout. And on top of that he has become the club's top pitcher with nine victories and three defeats since joining them late in May. Yet he was supposed to have been merely langniappe in the big cash transaction for Cooper, because his record of nine wins against 16 losses with the Braves in 1944 should have led no one to believe that he would develop de-velop into a big winner. Although Cooper, meanwhile, has compiled a fine .percentage record of eight wins and one loss, he also has acquired arm trouble and hasn't started a game since June 27. So all around the Cards figure to have profited in the deal for Chatterbox Charley. They let the juke box boom out in his honor last night be cause he finally got a chance to beat his ex-mates, 3 to 2, with a workmanlike nine-hit job for his 12th victory of the season. It was the first time that Barrett's turn to start had come during a Brave series, and he took advantage advan-tage of the situation with some brilliant pinch-hitting. The Cardinal victory reduced the lead of the Cubs to three games because of their 2 to 1 loss to the Giants at Chicago. Bill Voiselle outpitched Paul Erickson in a duel In which each gave up five hits. The Dodgers broke Nick Strin cevich s winning streak at six straight games with a 5 to 2 night victory over the Pirates at Pittsburgh. Hal Gregg gained the Dodger victory, his 11th. Rookie Dick Mauney outpitched Veteran Joe Bowman to give the Phils a 3 to 1 victory over Cincinnati. Cin-cinnati. Mauney gave up three hits, while Bowman yielded only four. Steve Gromek won his 11th 6 to 4. behind his nine-hit pitch ing. He had a shutout going into the ninth when Johnny Lazor spoiled it with a homer. He issued is-sued no walks and struck out six. vAll other American league games were rained out Yesterday's star Rookie Dick Mauney of the Phils, who pitched three-hit 3 to 1 victory over Joe Bowman of the Reds for his second major league victory. His first a previous victory over Bowman and the Reds. Those are the only games Bowman has lost since coming back to the National league this season. Midget League The fighting Southwest midget team; won a chance for the first half championship by downing the leading Northeast team by an 8-5 score. Ted Dunn with his superb pitching pitch-ing and hard hitting led the Southwest boys to victory. He was ably assisted by his battery mate, classy Joe Knight who got two hits, one of the two-base va riety. These two teams will clash for the first half title Tuesday afternoon.. after-noon.. They will play immediately after the Provo Timp-Fort Douglas Doug-las game, which is scheduled for the July 24th celebration. The second hslf gets under way Thursday, July 26. Games scheduled sched-uled for this Thursday were cancelled can-celled because an inter-city rivalry rival-ry is to be settled when Geneva Steelers clash with the local American Legion team.
