Author needs help identifying By MONTELL SEELY This article is for adults only (old timers!) The printing on this photo says, "Orangeville Baseball Team 1896." Who are the players? What were their ages in 1896? Were they a high school team? Were they the town team made up of married men? Where did they play? Was there a county league, or a State league? If you know the players, do you also know what positions they played? Did they play with a hard baseball or a softball? in the photo can see a catcher's mask and one ball bat, but no gloves and no chest protector or shin guards. Is that all the equipment they had in those days? And why does each one have a star pinned on his chest? Also, what's with the fancy bow ties? In 1896 there were no automobiles in Emery County, so how did the Baseball Team travel from town to town? If they played one of the mining camp teams and stayed overnight, where did they sleep and eat? Did they camp out, or what? In 1896 did they have grass fields or dirt? Were the rules the same as today? Three strikes and you're out; four balls and you walk. Were there base lines and foul ball lines? Could they steal bases? If the team on the field caught a fly ball, was that an out? Did three outs retire the side? Were nine innings a game? If they were tied at the end of regulation play, did they declare the game tied? Or did they play extra innings until one team beat the other? know you can't see it, but at the bottom of the photo is written: "Escalante, Utah." What is the significance of that? If you can enlighten us on any of these questions, please call Montell Seely I I 381-219- 5.

Nicki has been a great asset to the Emery High Girls Running Team this year and they would like to congratulate here on a job very well done. Pheasant hunt begins, watch for changes By Dean L. Mitchell DWR Upland Game Program Coordinator Utahs pheasant and quail hunters should be aware of the following, which apply to the 1997 pheasant and quail seasons: Daggett County has been closed to quail hunting. Pheasant season length in Utah County is seven days only, except on the Powell Slough and Goshen Warm Springs wildlife management areas. Pheasant hunters are cautioned that only state and federal lands, in certain counties, are open for a y pheasant season. To learn all of Utahs pheasant and quail hunting rules, hunters should review a copy of the 1997-9- 8 Utah Upland Game Proclamation before going afield. Proclamations are available from Division of Wildlife Resources offices in Ogden, Salt Lake City, Springville, Vernal, Price and Cedar City, and from hunting and fishing license agents statewide. Despite the fact that pheasant populations have declined drastically over the past 30 years, Utahs most popular game bird hunt is for the Wily ringneck! This year about 35,000 to 40,000 pheasant hunters are expected afield. Hunters will see more birds this year than in 1996. Late snowfall during the past winter meant good overwinter survival. For the most part, spring reproductive efforts were average or slightly above average for pheasants throughout much of their remaining habitat in Utah. However, biologists are reporting signifies ntly increased pheasant populations in areas where excellent pheasant habitat remains. Hunters should concentrate their efforts in areas with remaining suitable habitat. Most of Utahs pheasant hunters participate during the opening weekend only. Those with persistence and who hunt during weekdays are successful in harvesting birds. Do not expect the 1997 pheasant hunt to compare with the heyday of pheasant hunting in Utah. Too much habitat has been lost. Division biologists are anxious to work with landowners desiring to improve, and enhance pheasant habitat on private 30-da- I j i r property. Funds are available through the Utah Wildlife Habitat Authorization program for habitat and public access payments to willing to cooperate. Please contact the Division Habitat Manager in your region for more details. land-owne- rs By BETTY BAILEY Green Correspondent , Green River High Schools baseball team will be playing on a new ball field next year thanks to the Emery County School District and the volunteer efforts of the students and faculty. The school district purchased new dugouts, sprinkling system and sod for the ball field. The ball field has always been here, stated GRHS coach Dale Richards, but it was in such bad shape we didnt use it for the games. We would use the citys ball fields which created inconveniences for the teams. Being able to hold the games here will be much more con- venient. Faculty members Stan Parsons, Nolan Johnson, Dale Richards, Arden Sherrill and principal Larry Rowley worked elbow to elbow for three days, averaging three hours a day, with student volunteers Mathew Monroe, Lance Richards, Sean Bailey, Kody King, Devan Meadows, Luke Shorts, Abe Mitchell, Dane Johnson, Michael Johnson, Brian Johnson, Kalen Parsons, Joe Fail, Bo Harrison, Travis Newland, Jordan Bayles and Zac Dinkins laying the sod. . We really appreciate the help of Randy and Kent Nelson, Curt Thomas and the donation of the front loader by Dean King and of course all the students who Dartid-pate- d in the project, stated Richards. 21-1- EHS sion.
