He added Salt Lake fans couldnt stack up with the waiian Islanders. told that Ha- un-nic- A Belt Below The Belt In the case of the talent, Morgan, as president of the Hawauan franchise, is in sort of a trust position in to keep his busy beak out of the Bees the league business. If it had been any other team, Nicks puppy play might have been looked upon as a trick or treat But not in Salt Lake City; and certainly not a belt below the belt when the Bees have already had a few too many below the line. What Bee baseball needs, from friend and foe alike, right now is a pat on the back, not a knife in the front. More Than 8,000 Owners Few people understand all they claim to know about this Salt Lake baseball business. But one thing is quite apparent someone has been mighty generous to Nick Morgan. Many times we have thanked Nick for his efforts in bringing Triple A baseball to Salt Lake City. It was a big thing. But Nick wanted it more than anyone else. He solicited the public patronage, ran the Bees into the largest stockholding show in base-- . ball boasted about some 8,000 stockholders who were supposed to hold and hold alike the property of the Salt Lake Club. Then the people did their best to support baseball. And Salt Lake did a lot better by it than did most of the Triple-- cities. We havent folded yet. Rain Slops Boise I! By United Press International The winning nines in Pioneer League play Monday night did the job with no reservations, Pocatello tromping , Great Falls, and Twin . Falls taking Idaho Falls, Billings was tq play at Boise, but the game iVas rained out at the last minite. Theyll all play doubleheaders Memorial Day with Boise at Twin Falls, Billings at Pocatello and Idaho Falls at Great Falls. Eddie Reed accounted for the Electrics three runs when he smacked a home run in the sixth inning while two men waited. The rest of it was strictly Pocatellos game. The Chiefs got off to a good start in the first inning with three runs and had their largest, and final scoring spree in the seventh. That seventh inning saw one run forced in by a walked man. Jackie Haynes bunted to Great Falls pitcher Bob Wasko who threw to catcher bill Bevels. Bevels dropped it, and one more Chief hit the plate. Gus Enriquez and Chico Valentine both got singles to score two more for the Chiefs. The only Pocatello homer was claimed by Jim McClain in the fifth. It was good for one run. The Magic Valley Cowboys climbed on the scoring wagon in the first inning racking up three runs. Bob Sanders belted a ground ball to center field to score one and Jom Shockley and Vic Baron both claimed line drives to left field which were good for two more. In the sixth, Sanders added two runs with a homer. Teammate Richie Allen followed and got a beautiful line triple which bounced ' off the right field wail end scored two more. And yet onp more run was scored in that Magic Valley inning on Vic Barons line drive to the left center field wall. Even as the Bee fans proved night after night they couldnt pay for the caliber of baseball they were getting, the indebtedness continued until, after a $47,000 loss for the season, Morgan had signed the chits for about $55,000. He as president of the league was the guarantor and emphasized his position. Found A New Friend Then came the Hawaii deal and Nick wanted one of two things, or both. He wanted to get off the Salt Lake City hook. He found a new friend in the hula fi anchise. Graciously (and thats what K has to be, for Nick's interest in the Salt Lake franchise, in view of the common stockholder deal, was appraised at not much more than a dollars worth), Walt Cos griff came into the picture and picked up the Morgan tabs, leaving Nick free to buy at a reasonable figure, the Hawaii packet. Bee fans, have been kind to Nick. And for this reasop, if none else, a little honor is owmg honor enough 4o stop Nick from giving us the needle because we Bees are buzzing the basement Hospitality With A Hula All of which hasnt left Herm Franks and the Bee board very happy. Since April 30 Nick has promised, as part of his own promotion, to bring an island entertainment troupe to the mainland for Fridays Salt Lake City invasion. The Bees were to set up the billet and broth and Franks made these arrangements, announcing several times the fact that Hawaii would bring its own hulas. Without explanation Franks got a letter from Nicks Honolulu office Monday stating that the entertainers would not come. This fried Franks. So Herman, to keep his peace with his public and trump the Morgan card, hired an Hawaiian cast of entertainers for the Friday night ball game to prove to the Pineapples that Salt Lake has a hospitality house, too. So Hawaii will be received in Royal Hawaiian splendor. And there will be no managerial kibitizing from behind the third base dugout! Pioneer League SHARPENED HAND IIBL Suspends Loop Operations DENVER (UPIl The AmaBasketball League, its ranks dwindling and its backers fearful that recruits might be scandal tainted, was under a conditional sentence of death Tuesday. League President George J. Kolowich, president of the Trucking Co., announced Monday that the NBL is suspending operations for the coming season. But it appeared far more likely that the NBL would never operate again, as such. The recent scandals have created a recruiting hazard for corporations in our league, Kolowich said. He said this was reflected in the announcement earlier in the day by Paul Cohen, president .of Technical Tape Corp., New Rochelle, N.Y., that the New York Tapers were resigning from the NBL effective June 1. scandals The affecting current college flayers caused the Tapers to withdraw, Cohen said. We must be absolutely sure of complete holiness, Cohen said.

I dont say well come to the place where well dominate the 1,500 meters or the mile, says Harold Berliner, veteran AAU official. But we are up there now where well give the milers in the other countries a run for their money. Beatty and Burleson seem to be the cream of Uncle Sams crop. And they admit they are ready for that big crack at Australian Herb Elliott's world mark of 3:54.5, set in Dublin on Aug. 6, 1958. The best world marks in the 1960s have been by Burleson and Beatty. And they now are set for a classic meeting in the national AAU meet later this summer. Burleson set an American citizens record of 3:57.6 at Eugene, Ore., May 24. Beatty ran a 3:58.8 Saturday night at Modesto in the West Coast relays. And it should have been at least a 3:56, he said later. I wasn't even tired at the end.
