FINNISH CHAMP MAY
TURN PRO AND COME
TO AMERICA TO RUN
New York Promoter Now Try
ing to Lure Man With Fun
ny Name Across Water.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-An effort is to
be made to bring to this country Han
nie kolehmainan, the Finnish cham
pion, who carried off all the long dis
lance honors OF the Olympic games.
1t has been reported that the Finn
would turn professional now that he
has won the highest possible amateur
honors. In view of these reports, A.
e. Wood, the English runner, who set
new world figures for fifteen miles
when he beat the American champion,
Queal, at Celtic Park, this spring, has
forwarded to Kolehmainen a formal
challenge for a race at any distance
from ten to twenty miles
Wood believes that a race with the
Finnish wonder can be successfully
staged here for a purse Of FIVE or ten
thousand dollars.

the ball. There was grand little
exhibition of missing, and the Cavalry
riders were quick to take advantage
of this and throw themselves into the
high speed. Groninger and Baird
made scores in rapid succession, and
just before time was called a third
goal went through for the Cavalry.
Oahu's defense was very weak, Jones
making the cardinal mistake for q
back of riding up to meet dangerous
shots near goal, instead of turning to
back them. This gave the Cavalry
many unobstructed shots for goal, and
some of them came OF. Neither did
Jones' ponies have the necessary
speed, and during most of the game
he was hard pressed and not very
effectiVe in his position. - q -
In the fifth Groninger scored before
the ball had been in play half a min
ute, and in the sixth Heffernan turn
ed the same trick. Bob Single made
the prettiest score of the entire game
with a long drive from almost the
center of the field, and that ended the
goal getting. ..,
Taken as a whole, the game was a
pretty one to watch, and everybody
worked and rode as hard as they knew
how. There was fair-siZed crowd
on the sidelines, nearly all the autos
in the post being parked there, be-
sides several from town.

Tennis HAS A
LONG HISTORY

Most people when they speak OF
tennis" refer to lawn tennis and not
to the far more ardent game which
was the forefather of the modern
adaptation Tennis proper is perhaps
1t is also one of the most difficult
games to learn, on account Of the num-
Der and intricacy of its rules, which,
however, when learned make it one OF
the most interesting.
1t has an additional interest, also,
owing to it's historical association.
Tennis first made its appearance in
Europe in the middle ages, when 1t
was played in open courts, and in the
parks belonging to the feudal castles
of France and Italy. The game ID
mentioned in Arthurian romance, but
it was certainly unknown in the time
of King Arthur.
The name of tennis is suggested to
have sprung from the exclamation
"TeneZ," which was used by early
French players when serving the ball
In France the game was called Jeu de
panne. 1t would seem from this that
originally the ball was struck with the
palm of the hand only, as in the game
of fives. Afterward the players wore
a glove, as they still do in the Basque
country. Strings and cross strings
were next stretched upon the glove to
give a greater impulse to the ball and
from this to the addition of a short
handle was easy transition.
The game was much improved by
the building of close-in tennis courts,
at first with walls only, then with
both roofs and walls. In France they
still play it, sometimes in the open,
and in Italy a rough version of it,
called pallone, can still be seen. In
England there are twenty-seven courts,
and there is one in Dublin.

DISINFECT BALL
FOR MR.. MARTY
O'TOOLE

PITTSBURG, PA row between
the Phillies and the Pirates that
threatens to become serious has been
kicked up by the Quakers' apparent
determination to put the 'jinx" on
Marty O'Toole, the spit-ball pitcher.
O'Tooie's team mates have taken up
his fight, with the result that the two
teams are at each others throats and
the wrangle has been put before Pres
ident Lynch. 1t was predicted at
Forbes field that several of the Phil
lies would be fined. In the meantime
the $22,500 finger is said to be nurs-
ing, a blistcred mouth and blistered
fingers. sa +
The Quakers have been doping" the
ball on Marty, il is alleged. Charley
DOOM says his players put a disinfec-
tant on the ball Tuesday because
ORIOLES saliva delivery was unsani-
tary and might cause IN epidemic OF
some dreadful disease.
The trouble started May 10 when
the Philadelphia team played here.
0Troole was pitching fine ball until
the sixth inning, when he asked to be
taken out, as the ball had been doctor
ed and his tongue was afame. Cam
nitz finished the game and the Pirates
won, to 4. =. ~

Fred Clark alleges that one of the
Phillies said his team intended to rub
the Eminent on the ball every time a
spit-ball pitcher. wast sent against
them. In the Pirates first trip East
the Quakers hammered O'Toole. His
thumb and first fingers were so Bills
tered he could scarcely hold the ball.
When Fred Clark got wise, Tuesday,
that the ball had been doctored, he
mentioned it to Umpire Nal Eason.
Two balls were thrown out The Pr
rates watched the visiting players,
Clark says they discovered Knabe
placing the ball in his hip pocket.
Eason took it from him, got his fingers
burned and after the game turned over
this ball and another to President
Lynch <sHs =. ! - -.
In his statement Doom says: "
+ "The spit-ball is unsanitary and
players who are compelled to take
chances against it are not to be blam-
ed for resorting to precautionary meas
ures. The splitter Is a menace to the
health of the other players. We have
to consider our health and when the
baseball powers will not protect us by
barring it we certainly have a right
to protect ourselves. The ball may
be carrying the germ of some conta-
gious disease. We put disinfectant on

indian PITCHER
SECOND bender

There is an Indian pitching for St
Joseph by the name of Johnson, who
is causing some splash in the Western
league baseball puddle just now. He is
not "Swenska," like Walter Johnson,
as his name might indicate. He is a
Winnetago aborigine. a giant in iiZe
and educated, like Chief Bender, the
greatest Indian pitcher the game has
ever known.
John Holland, producer of baseball
stars, who owns the baseball plant in
st. Joseph, said last fall that the
scouts would be looking this Indian
over before the close of 1912 and 1ol-
land evidently knew what he was talk
ing about. 1t is reported that nearly
every club in the major leagues has
had tleuth or two in that city on the
banks of the Missouri to watch this In
dian perform All of which adds to
Hollands fame as producer of major
league ball players.
There are several points of resem-
blance between Johnson and Chief
Bender, although one is a Chippewa
and the other Winnebago Indian,
Both are big of stature, each has
great speed and each is we'll educat-
ed.
Johnson has had a heavy hitting
team back of him. Borton, Watson,
Zwilling and others being top liners
as sluggers in Tip ONeilrs circuit.
Heavy hitting back of him, however,
does not count for this pitcher win
ming eight games and losing only two
this season. He has held mis- OppOn-
ent to few hits in every appearance
except one and that was his first
game of the season. pitched April 49,,
against Des Moines. Although thir-
teen hits were made off this Indians
hurting that day. he won his game
and since that time never has allowed
rs many hits with one exception. Den
ve1 touched him for nine hits May %
All his other games have ranged from
two hit to seven hit contests.
John Holland thinks in this Indian
he has developed a pitcher who will
make a ten strike in the big leagues.
His record for the season is a big
TO st in his favor. Whether he is a
second edition to Chief Bender re-
mains to be seen.

KEuNEW|Ck ASPARAGUS
IN STEADY DEMAND
Local Grass" Rules Several Cents
Higher on Market than the
California Product

Shipment of asparagus through
the local commission houses have
averaged from one to two tons daily
during the past week. The price
has continued steady at six cents
and Wednesday it jumped to seven
cents. In all the big markets in
this section the Kennewick valley
product holds precedence over the
California asparagus. California
competitors are at a distinct disad-
van .age as the vegetable is too per-
ishable to ship any great distance
without losing some of its quality.
The home product, with all con-
ditions ideal for promoting a rapid
growth, thus insuring tenderness,
gains big advantage in being near
some of the leading centers of
demand.
The majority of the grass"
comes from Section 7 where w. H.
Witt and w. H. Allison have large
patches. A. Burns, H. N. Ander-
son and O. w. Engel are also heavy
contributors. While this years.
acreage throughout this section is
in excess of that of last year, there
are no large fields and the grass"
comes to the commission houses in
small lots, nearly every farmer hav-
ing small patch which produces
more than he needs for family use.
The local growers make one mis-
take in preparing asparagus for
commercial purposes, and that is
their laxity in the pack. A lesson
can be learned from the California
growers in this respect for they put
up a pack noted for it's excellence.
Their crates are 5x7x1S inches and
are divided into two compartments.
The bottom of the crate is filled
with moss and the asparagus is tied
in punches, each of which is wrap
ped with a paper label, with the
brand, name of grower, ETC., print
ed on it. The punches are packed
on their ends in the crate and a
layer of moss placed on top. In
this way they are practically insur-
ed against being bruised in trans
portation, The loose pack of some
of the local growers leaves the tend
er ends unprotected, and once the
tips are bruised, decay sets in al
most Immediately and the product
is rendered unfit for marketing.

which worked perfectly, but was due
to a moments loss of control over

SHAPING THINGS UP
FOR GRAPE CARNIVAL
Publicity Committee Busy on Plans
for kennewick's Big Show in
September ~

Realizing that the plans for an
enlarged and elaborated Grape Car
nival in Kennewick during the COM
ing fall will require the performance
of prodigious amount of work,
the publicity committee of the Com
mercial Club have determined to
get az early start and have already
formulated preliminary plans to-
ward staging our big show. =
Although the matter of selecting
a date for the Carnival has not
been passed upon officially by the
Club, it is very likely that the four
days from September 18 to 81 in
elusive, will be chosen. In choos-
ing the above date the Carnival will
conflict as little as is possible with
the many attractions in various
other cities during September, dates
for which have already been an
nounced.
The committee estimate that
81 500 will be required to properly
house and conduct the grape show
on an adequate scale. They pro-
pose to raise guarantee fund for
this amount among the business
houses during the present month.
This fund will be guaranteed simply
to give the committee solid base
to work upon, and it is hoped that
it may not be necessary to draw
against it at all, but to come out
with a surplus after all expenses
are paid, as was the case last year.
The largest item of expense, will,
of course, BE- the housing of the
show. The best solution of this
problem seems to he the renting of
a huge circus tent, if one can be Sc
cured. Failing in this, it may be
that half block of one of the side
streets will be fenced and covered
with canvas.
To meet the expenses and make
it unnecessary to draw upon the
guarantee fund, an appropriate but
ton will be designed, from the sale
of which from $3.50 to 81, 600 is ex-
pected to be realized. The election
of a carnival queen will be conduct
ed along the same lines as last year
and this contest should furnish
from $3.50 to $500 of the neces-
sary." With good luck and good
weather to help, the attendance and
concessions may be relied on to
furnish $500 more; so it is not to
much to assume that the Carnival
will again turn out to be a self
supporting venture.
