Donkey Baseball Game Scheduled By Firemen For a hilarious night of fun the Volunteer Firemen of Garland and Tremonton guarantee a lot of laughter and excitement when the two groups put their best ball players forward to compete in a Donkey Ball game. Trained donkeys are brought in for this special occasion. The batters are given every opportunity to hit the ball, even without a donkey, and if they fail or fan out, they are given a scoop shovel to use so they can jump on a donkey and to make it around the diamond. The donkeys are trained to stop unexpectedly, or not start at all, and they show no favoritism with either team. The total score may be equal to some of the big league results but the action that takes place will be quite different. The Firemen urge everyone to join them at the Garland Park Wednesday, July 21 at 8 p.m. for this evening of frivolity, and fund raising for the Firemen of the two towns. try Welcome Home Sunday For Elder McMurdie Elder Harry McMurdie. and Mrs. Clifford of Mr. son Mc- Murdie, will report his mission this Sunday evening, July 18, at 5:00 in the Tremonton Second Ward.
