The Kennewick courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1905-1914, 1908-06-12
Still Another
One Won.
Home Team Proves Its Right to
the Rag. Game Forfeited in
First of Seventh.

The largest crowd that ever turn
ed out in Kennewick, watched one
of the fastest and cleanest games OF
base ball, Sunday when the two
biggest rivals fought for the honor
of keeping the pennant, which both
teams claimed, ever played in this
part of the country.
Although the game was given to
Kennewick in the first half of the
seventh by Pasco's refusal to begin
to play in the time limit given by
the umpire for rag chewing the
game was already won by the home
bunch and if they had been allow
ed further chance, would have
boosted the score up some, just to
cinch it, The berry pickers were
tightening up and Hart was allow
ing few chances every inning, while
Pasco's slant artist was slowly but
surely getting weaker.
The cause of the wrangle which
ended the game, was Pasco's re-
fusal to allow man to be called out
and would not begin to play in the
time given, consequently they for
feited to the time of 9 to O. Hor-
rington thrice did disturb the at
mospheric conditions and was al
lowed to rest after his strenuous ex-
ertions at the beginning OF the
seventh and Kellar hit to the infeld
and managed to get to the second
station when O'Rouke biffed out a
liner, which struck Kellar as he
was en- route to third and the UNI
pire, of course, called him out.
Pasco had too much at stake to al
low one little umpire to rob them
80 they insisted that Kellar was
safe and j. Kelly gave five minutes
for the captians te settle it, which
they didn't do, strange as it may
seem, and 80 the game was given to
Kennewick at 9 to 0. The score up
to that time was 3 to 2 in favor of
Kennewick.
The visitors had the first chance
to cover themselves with dirt and
glory, which they took advantage Of
and managed to get two sturdy lads
across the border. Hart gave o.
Rouke, the first man up, compli-
mentary pass out of courtesy and
O'Rouke took advantage of polite
ness aud stole second while Bell was
tanning the breezes. Jackman, the
famous Rube, was the third to grasp
the hickory and smashed q liner
out into center moving O'Rouke to
third, while Marion hit fly over
first that couldn't be fielded and so
scoring O'Rouke. Richardson tam
ned and Ellison arrived safely at
first on a slow hit to third, and
bringing Jackman prancing In, but
lie died on second as Marion did
on third when Rolf, their twirler,
missed connections on all three OF
his slashes. The big figure two
chalked up cheered the Pascoites,
but it was lost hope as those two
were the only ones that they could
coax in, and even then they were
taken away in the end.
Rolf showed he was there for busi-
ness by tanning the first two up
J Esterly, Myers and Wilgus, second
baseman, could only tap a little tiy
which was duck soup for Rube.
Myers was it in the first half OF the
second when Horrington, kella1
and O'Rouke all hit the same hot
liners to our blond third baseman
who neatly pegged them over to
first.
Barber, Boyer and Smithy man
aged to connect, but to no effect
and the second ended at z to Q.
Bell. the first up for Pasco, IN
the third was struck out easily bu'
Jackman made a scratch to first
and managed to get to second be-
fore Marion and Richardson go'
out.
