rubbed their eyes and found out
how pretty the day was, put OF
their broadest smile and prepared
to make the celebration equal thu
day. The next event of note was
the arrival OF the Richland Banc
which paraded the principal streets
and set the key for the day by their
patriotic music.
Everybody was on hand when the
big parade began to move, headed
by the band, followed by the speak
ers and officials in carriages, the
Ladies Equestrian Brigade, the
Woodmen Lodge, the Finley Rag
mullins who for ridiculous makeup
and general laugh-provoking featur-
es has not been equaled in many a
day. Ashbaugh & Co. had pretty

distributed free samples along the
route from their rig, and the firms
King & Son, Chas. H. Collins & Co.
and the Reporter had an auto"
propelled by the democratic donkey
which attracted much attention and
created much amusement.
The Flag drill executed by 40
Finley school children under the
leadership of Mrs. f. 0. Brown
and Mrs. E. NJ. Angel, followed
the parade and was one OF the best
features of the entire day. There
were three platoons of the Finley
troop and each carried out the in
tricate movements of the drill in
perfect style, and as they filed in
and out in their pretty uniforms
they made an inspiring sight.
From time to time during the
maneuvers they were heartily ap-
plauded and at the close were Civ

crowd.
The crowd then gathered at the

The Ball Game

runs. The Lind team was pretty

four runs in the first inning and
Kennewick was quickly retired in
their half, it looked like Lind with

feature of the game was that Heart
grew stronger in the box while
0irstine grew weaker and was hit
more freely. Boyer, Easterly and

Lasterly and Huntington were
,redited with the most stolen bases.
Dirstine struck out seven and Heat

common expression was, A good

GRIFFITH NO LONGER
NEW YORK MANAGER
Veteran Resigns Position Leader of Yankees Because
of Failure of Team to Come Up to Expecta-
tiOnS in American League Race.

York. He IS one Of the veterans Of the
game.
Owner Farrell saw the game in Phila-
delphia to-day, and after It was over he
wired 10 Ban Johnson protesting against
Egsn umpiring any more games for the
New Yorks. Farrell is a thorough sports
man. and It IS not likely that he would
make a step Of this sort unless he felt
he had great prOvocation. There were
four decisions against New York in the
game, he said. which were so bad he
felt justified in protesting.
Clarke Griffith has been before the public
as a ball player and team manager for
nearly twenty years. He first became
prominent as a pitcher with Ansons Chi
cagO National League team. with Kit
tredge as his catcher.
Griffith developed into one Of the best
boXmen in America, and when the Ameri-
can League was organized by Ban John
son. Grifhth readily accepted an offer to
manage the Chicago White Soz. He won
a championship in this berth, and showed
SO much executive and managerial ability
that when Johnson decided TO invade New
York City Griffith was the man selected
20 lead the fight for patronage in the
metropolis. He signed a contract with
Frank J. Farrell in 1903 calling for a sal
airy Of $500
Wild Throw Cost Pennant.
The New York team did not prove much
Of a success that year. but in 1906 a wild
throw lost the American League pennant
for the Yankees. A year ago there was
some dissatisfaction with Grif7th's man
agement, but Farrell decided TO allow the
manager 10 have another chance. When
Griffith signed this year It was with the
understanding that if he did not make a
success he would resign. so that his with
drawal from the management was not
wholly unexpected.
Griffith has a cattle ranch IN Montana,
and is said 10 be wealthy. He is about
forty years old. and has seen so much
constant service that he says he viii take
a rest. He leaves the New York club
with nothing but the friendliest feelings

who was manager Of the New York
American League baseball club ever since
that club has been in existence, had a
long talk with Frank Farrell, the owner
of the club, in Philadelphia to-day, the
talk eliminating in the resignation Of
Griffith as manager.
The Yankees. after making a most en-
coursging start this season. began 10 hit
the downward path about a month ago.
and since then things have been going
from bad to worse. To those who have
followed the clubs affairs closely the
resignation of Griffith came as no sur
prise. for there have been rumors Of a
change
Griffith. according 20 word received
from Philadelphia tonight, came TO the
conclusion a week ago that he would
step down and out. but was requested to
hold on until the team returned East 1t
is believed he felt that It was time for
him TO hand the managerial reins over
TO somebody else. If the club owners ap-
proved, and Owner Farrell went ever 10

In Poor Health.
Gritith's health has been none too good
this season. and the worries Of repeated
defeats weighed heavily upon him. He
always was a hard loser. and steady re-
verses coming after brilliant beginning
did not make his pathway any easier.
II was his intention 70 take a rest for
a month. and he will leave the team to-
morrow. He said to-day, however that
he did not expect 70 quit baseball for
good just at this time. He has nothing
definite in view. but thinks II not at all

Despite the threatening weather a
crowd OF nearly 5000 turned out this af-

for Washington and George Winter was
sent in by Manager Mcclure. Smith did
frst-class work. allowing only four hits
while he was in the box. and with perfect
support would have shut out Boston. As
IL was. the Red Sox made only one run
OF him. This came in the second inning
when GessIer's single to right went
through Clymer's legs. allowing the doc
tor 10 make third. from where he scored
on McFarland's single.
Winter was all to the bad from the
start After having two strikes on Milan,

laced out a three-sacker. Ganley singled.
and when he started for second Wagner
was dragged over TO cover the base and
Ciymer raped one through the opening.

when Street forced Altizer.
