New Ball Park.

While we have no regular base
ball team we are arranging to have
a first class base bail park. Chas.
Conway has agreed to give the
boys the use of his land near the
bridge for that purpose and aleady
arrangements have been put under
way to lay out a diamond and erect
a grand stand. The plans for the
grounds will give Kennewick one
of the best in the country. The
in6eld is to be leveled and graveled
so that it will always be solid and
free from dust. The grand stand
which will be erected Immediately
behind the catcher's position will
accommodate about four hundred
people and will be substantially
built and covered.
The cause of this activity in this
line is the fact that the Pasco team,
the best in Central Washington, has
agreed that if we arrange proper
grounds part of its home games will
be played on this side of the river.
We have a large number of base
ball enthusiasts here who will well
come this opportunity to see good
ball played in this city.

asking us to arrrnge a game for
them with the local team. As we
have no team here we consulted
with the Pasco boys and arranged
to have them take the game and
play here on the goth of the month
and at Pasco on the 3Ist. This
will be an opportunity for the peo-
pie of the Twin Cities to see some
good base ball as both teams are
made up of first class ameteur
players and have proven them
selves to be able to put up first
class article of the national game.
