The Days of '47 has the great rodeo, the Pioneer Lea-gue, all-st- ar game, the West Jor-dan Park's board opened their outdoor fight season, and for the golf fans and players we have the Eastern Utah Open and now the $7,500 Utah open. Fishing season is in full swing and it is better than ever this year. So you can see Utah would be the Elace for the sports lover to spend First the All-St- ar game had a crowd of over 5,000 and it was an interesting game to watch. Some real good looking prospects on that all-st- ar team. They beat the Bees 9 to 3. Queen the out-fielder from Idaho Falls, Brown pitcher from the Boise Braves along with teammate Jacoby, all boys that will go far in baseball. Everything about this game was strictly big league. Jay Fullmer made his debut befoie the home folks a winning one by punching out a unanimous decision over Andy Maes of Colo-rado. Jay won every round on my card although the second round was close. In this round Maes got in some pretty fair body blows. Jay looks real good at this stage, has to learn to protect his body more, and to go for the body more himself. Our own Hector Lopez won his first pro start in easy fashion, beating Chuck Sandy of Salt Lake by a TKO in three rounds. It was a good card and the 3,000 plus fans got a real bargain. $2.00 top and 90 cents general admis-sion. They will do well at these prices as they build up a local favorite. The youngest Fullmer, Don, will make his pro debut on the next card to be held near the end of the month. The Utah Open will be held on the Fort Douglas links start-ing on the 25th and running through Sunday the 28th. All of the best clulb pros in the west have signed up and they are still trying to line up a few of the touring pros. Should be a real good show. The rodeo is one of the big ones. So if you are a horse bucking fan don't miss it. Fishing I know from nothing, but the fishermen tell me it is great. You know for me those fish never did anything to me so I let them alone. Our local baseball team has been playing some great ball of late. Their won and lost record isn't so .good but every game has been close. Our Legion team just doesn't have the experience this year, but they are young and they are the. making of a real good team in the next few seasons. So if you are a sports fan, remember Utahoin July.

NEW TUNNEL PROGRESSING Construction crews have com-pleted drilling 2,790 feet of Ken-necott Copper's new 3 Ms mile ore haulage tunnel, probably the longest single line mine tunnel in the nation. The 18,000 foot underground tunnel is being built under con-tract with Utah Construction Co. The $12 million project was started last November and is ex-pected to be completed by 1960. Crews are now pushing forward on an average of 28 feet per day. The tunnel will connect the bottom of the open-p- it copper mine with the Copperton assem-bly yards at the mouth of Bing-ham Canyon. W. J. Pollin, district manager, Utah Construction Co., pointed out that at points the concrete lined tunnel will be 1,800 feet below the top "lip" of the huge copper mine. When completed, the tunnel will be 18 feet wide and 22 feet high. It will accommodate a single standard gauge railroad track. Some 1,970 feet have been finish-ed off and concrete lined, Mr. Pollin said. Centralized traffic control will be necessary to coordinate move-ment of ore and waste cars in and out of the tunnel from the bottom of the pit. The mine is served by two ether tunnels, progressively be-ing shortened as the pit expands. They are the 6,040-fo- ot level tun-nel, finished in 1945, and the 5,840-fo- ot level tunnel finished in 1953. O HOLY ROSARY CHURCH by Rev. John J.
