Provo's hard-hitting T i m p s stayed out in front of the pack today, after turning back their toughest 1945 opponents, the Magna Mag-na Millers, 9 to 5. The Provo team was in a hitting mood as they collected a varied assortment of 13 hits off the slants of old Leif . Ericksen, veteran left-hander. Five errors by . the home club, contributed no little to the Timp scoring. The Provo boys jumped off to an early lead, scoring two runs in the first ining, when Lennie Page drove out a home .run over the left fielder's head, scoring Berge - ahead of him. The Timps were never headed, from that time on, although Magna Mag-na kept pecking away at Bill Harrigan to stay within -hailing distance. Bill, who had returned earlier in the day by plane from the Wichita," Kansas, semi-pro tournament, was yanked by Skipper Skip-per Lob Colins in the fifth. Hank Hansman turned in a superb piece of relief pitching, and nary a run was scored off him during the rest of the game. He also contributed a timely triple to hit the column. Chuck Archibald, Magna manager man-ager who played first, got credit for a freak home run in the second sec-ond inning when his Dingle took a bounce in front of Sterling - . . - i t : i i uavis, ien iieiaer, over ms ucaa.
