SALT LAKE
MAKES HAY

While Oakland is cutting into the
lead Of the Vernon Tigers and Los
Angeles is having it's troubles with
Portland, not to forget San Fran
cisco's two reverses at the hands of
Bill Rodgers troops, the Salt Lake
club Is making hay while Old Sol is

contenders. the Salt Lake Bees have
been wading thru the opposition like
a bunch Of kids thru a strawberry
shortcake. Today the Bees are just
four games behind the first place.
They stand to win some more games
from the Siwashes this week, be-
cause they are harder to wallop than
the summer fly in their own little
cheese box. The Bees are not a good
team, and what they win must
be at home.
