ELEVEN RUNS IN
THE TENTH INNING
Kennewick Defeats Pasco Rail
readers by Fifteen to Four
Moran Does Good Work

Oh, but that tenth inning in
the game at Pasco Sunday was a
nightmare! When the score
keeper finally finished figuring,
he found that kennewick had
.batted around and six over, had
put across eleven runs and had
landed on Larkin for eight hits,
three Of which were wo-baggers.
No. this isn't the totals for the
game, just the tenth inning,
which gave Kennewick the VIC
tory by Is to a.
Aside from the fatal tenth, the
game was close and exciting.
Pasco started off by scoring two
in the second. Kennewick drew
a row Of blanks until the seventh
when the first score was marked
up. They followed in the eighth
with three more which gave
them a lead of two. In the ninth
Pasco chalked up two more and
then the fun started. Lefty
Copeland started the tenth with
a hit. Devers and Stull followed
with wo-baggers, Sullivan drew
a free pass and Yedica singled.
By this time the scoring machine
was well oiled and before the
fifteenth man went down eleven
men had checked in at home
plate.
Morain, who went into the
game with sore arm, was never
in very great difficulties and held
the railroaders down to z hits,
issued two free passes and famed
out IL men. Larkin was touched
up for IL hits and walked five

The Horse Heaven wheat farm

farming expert who will devote
his entire time to studying condis
tons and conducting practical
farm demonstrations in the hills.
The expert has been secured

ment station at w. S. c.. and
Prof. C. L. Waller on a trip

state college is allowed an annual
appropriation of $40, 600 for DEM
onstration work in the state and
it is the belief of Mr.. Cardiff that
a portion of this money can be
expended to good advantage in
the Horse Heaven country.
To Start Ssss ",
The new work will be started
as soon as suitable man can be
secured and will follow along the
general plans which have been
outlined and inaugurated by MIR.
Lampson. In a careful study of
the Horse Heaven wheat belt,
Mr.. Lampson became convinced
that, owing to the variety Of soil
formation and the difference Of
conditions in the various sections
Of the hills, it was impossible
to outline any general plan of
cultivation that would be applica-
BILE to the entire district. He
has already laid the foundation
for a number of experiments and
demonstrations to be taken up by
the farmers this fall. Upon the
arrival of the new man Mr.. Lamp
son will turn over to him all the
data he has collected and assist
him in getting started in the
work.
Not only vii, the new plan
prove Of great value to the Horse
Heaven ranchers, but it will per-
NIT Mr.. Lampson to devote prac-
tically all of his time to the prob
lens of the farmers in the irri-
gated sections of the county.
