KENNEWICK'S ASPARAGUS BEST

According to advice from the
central office of the Yakima VAL
ley Fruit Growers Association,
the asparagus that has been
shipped by the Kennewick district
has taken first place in the mar
kets of Seattle and Spokane, and
been very favorably commented
on.
The asparagus was not only of
better quality. but the exec llent
packing gave it distinction that
created a demand for it in the
highest class of trade, and brot
the very best prices obtained for
any product in the northwest.

The Presbyterian church was over
crowded last Sunday night at the
baccalaureate services in honor ol
the class OF 1911. The sermon was
delivered by Rev. V. E. Marriott ol

Barrels Of F un when Club Members
Hammer Each Other with
Mitts at Smoker

Gentlemen, | am requested to
announce that the first battle of the
evening will be four-round contest
between Punk Larkin, the Kenne-
wick Sandstorm, and Willis Ham
rick, the Oregon MIST Thus did
Announcer Ray Hover start the three
hours of fun at Tuesday nights
Commercial Club smoker.
The Mist and the Sandstorm put
up a classy exhibition, but it could
in no way compare with the blood
thirsty encounter which next fol-
lowed the introduction of II. NJ.
Ashbaugh, the Human Pile-Driver,
and Sieg. Feuchtwanger, the Pride
Of the Ghetto. This bout was an
nounced to settle a grudge growing
out Of the membership contest which
had just been decided, Ashbaugh
claiming that Seig. had caused the
defeat Of his team by Offering cut
price memberships at s4.9S. At any
rate, they went three rounds of
vicious milling and Referee Guy
Hayden called it a draw, though in
the opinion of ringsiders the execu-
ton wrought by Ashbaugh's over
hand swings should have earned
him the decision.
This bout was followed by one
between S. Il. Henderson and f. c..
lripp, which was by far the long
est fight OF the evening. The
crowd then adjourned from the
rlngside and attacked the luncheon
which had been prepared. This job
out OF the way, the bloodthirsty
sports once more gathered around
the squared circle while a half-dozen
more impromptu bouts were pulled
off.
The first of these was between
spider Sly and Mosquito Collins,
under Gooseberry rules, and was fol-
lowed by rapid-fre engagements
between E. L. kolb and NJ. NJ.
Aoulton, l.. E. Johnson and Doctor
orosby and r. F. Dent and John
Booze. Open River Scott, the Man
VINO Broke the Homlee Rapids, and
'uy story, the San Francisco Kid,
put up swell exhibition which
''osed the evenings excitement.
As a wind-up for the membership
contest which closed Tuesday night,
'ne smoker was engineered Jointly
" the athletic and entertainment
'ommlttees of the Club. It is the
earnest desire of those who thereby
s0' beat up'' that the boys put on
"'olher affair of the same kind soon
