Some members of the current especially those batters who had Provo Timps were standing in to bail out as Hooks delivered one their dugout talking to Bill Anderson, who, as a youngster of his inside, high, hard ones Seeing Bill Schubel hit the World WarII era homerun in the bottom of the ninth to win a gamefor the Timps was a thrill as was “Back when the Timps were watching the League,” Bill, whose son, Tim, nowcoaches the Timps, wastelling the present-day team, ‘‘I had thundering into the plate on a head-first slide on his stomach It was baseball drama at its best, as was watching Garth graduated from high school as going to Sunday School Priesthood and Sacrament meeting.” Everybody laughed in the dugout “Back in those days it wasn’t uncommonto have 1,500 or more fans in Timp Park on a Sunday afternoon,” Bill pointed out “Baseball was a big thing in Provo.” One of the present-day Timps looked at the dozenorso fanssit- ting in Timp Park for a Beehive State League game with American Fork and said with a twinge of sadness in his voice: “Why can't we draw crowds like that today.”’ Well, there are probably several reasons. Back in the WW II days there were a number of Major Leaguers and high minor leaguers stationed in the various military installations in Utah and many of them were playing on teams in the Industrial League. That made for somepretty classy baseball Provo, for instance, had a pitcher by the name of Harry Eisenstat, who once hurled for the Cleveland Indians. And there were guys like Frank Lamanna, Earl Owen, Jack Graham, Nig Tate and a hostof others. There werein-state stars such as Frank Zaccaria, Dick Powers, KentPeterson, Bob Story, Boyce Jacobs, Jerry Dalebout and others. There also were such local stars as Ernie Jensen, Garth Ford, Glen Berge, Lennie Page, Lee Christiansen, Lee Brooks, Spot Clegg, the Wankiers, and Don Overly to mention only a few. And the Leaguehad su:colorful managers as Lob Collins, Dave Greenwood and Occie Evans. Baseball was exciting in those days, not only because there was a lot of talent scattered throughout the league, but because there were a lot of colorful characters on the field. Even umpires like Al Ablett, Charley Bates and Bailey Santisteven were worth the price of admission because of the show they put on. Then there were moments to remember, too. Like the Timps beating the American Fork Steelers for the leaguetitle in the American Forkball park as Dave Greenwood and Lob Collins matched wits and strategy and Garth Ford and Nig Tate participated in one of the epic pitching duels in Industrial Leaguehistory. I've seen several Major League games, but I don’t believe I ever saw a more skillfully - played, more drama filled, harder fought, more thrilling or better pitched gametharI saw that cool Septemberevening. jose who sawit will never forget the homerun that Frank Lamanna skyrocketed over the dead centerfield fence at Timp Park, 450feet from homeplate in those days. It wasstill climbing as it sailed over the fence and was the longest ball I ever saw hit at Timp Park. Nobody who saw Hooks [ott pitch will ever forget his fastball, “Big E'’ a playing in the old Industrial beforeI realized that going to see the Timps play on Sunday afternoon at Timp Park wasn't just as important a part of the Sabbath Michele Setton and P.

You either hustled for Manager Collins or you didn't play The big trouble with the present-day Timps, as seeit, is most of them lack hustle, teamspirit and all-out desire Sometimes they seem to be following in the footsteps of today’s Major leaguers, whooften appear to be merely going through the motions. It’s a shame, too, because manyof the present-day Timps do havea lot of talent and have some good and exciting power hitters like Lennie Tsuhako that should attract the fans. But somebody needsto build a fire under them to make them more aggressive and more alive and vibrant. The samething probably could be said of the Orem Beneficial Life team or any of the other Beehive League teamsof recent years. Butinall fairness, the Beehive players might play with more enthusiasm if they were performing before crowdsof 1,000 or more fans like the Industrial League players did. Then, too, in the war years the Timps were the only game in town during the summer. There wereno junior baseball program to compete with and satisfy the appetites of the parentsofall the little leaguersthe wayit is today. Gasoline rationing wasin effect andit didn’t take much gas to get to Timp Park from any place in the city or the county, for that matter. In fact, Timp Park was within easy walking distance for many of the fans. Flaming Gorge and Lake Powell weren't close at hand for weekendjaunts the way they are today and there weren't as many recreational activities in general as there are now. And Clayton Jenkins, K.E. “Bob’’ Bullock, Harry Parsley, and Jim Mazurie did a tremendous job of promoting the game in Provo. Speaking of baseball, it’s just like attending a clinic on the game to sit in the stands with guys like Bob Story, Doug Hansen and Kent Peterson. All three played in the Industrial League and Hansen managed the Timpsat onetime. ‘All three also played professionally — Peterson with the Philadelphia Phillies, the Cincinnati Reds and Syracuse of the International League; Hansen with the Cleveland Indians and the Indianapolis of the American Association, and Story in the old Class D Pony League. Peterson likestotell about the time he saw Babe Ruth play with a touring Major Leagueall-star team at Community Park (Derks Field) in Salt Lake many years ago. “‘T got so close to the Babe that I could have reached out and touched him, but I was just too darn scared to do it,” Kent laughed “Whata thrill it was. felt like I was standing next to God.”’ Emilio Levine's jump of 47-7 Evan Fox of Great Neck N.Y.
