FANS ARE PLANNING
BASEBALL LEAGUE
Want to Have Some Good Games This
Year-kids Beat Married Men +
In First Game u

: The annual spring epidemic of
baseballitis has struck town and it
is certain that Kennewick will have
some kind of team this year.
Last Sunday saw the first tryout of
the local material when the single
fellows beat the married men, IL to
s. The day was warm and sunny
Just the kind of weather to make
the baseball germ most Malignant
and it caused the old fellows to
prance around like colts. Most all
of last years team was represented
in one or the other of the lineups,
besides the youngsters who are about
ripe to break into the first team this
year. Among those who showed up
well were also several players who
have come to Kennewick to make
their home since last season.
There seems to be quite a favor
able sentiment toward organizing a
four-team league to play a schedule
of about thirty games, one game in
each of two towns each Sunday,
the season to last until July 4th.
The league would include Kenne-
wick, Pasco, Lind and Connell, or
else Prosser and Grandview in place
of Lind and Connell. Such league
would increase the interest and at
tie ndance at the games in all the
towns, and should be comparatively
easy to finance. The idea is to raise
a guarantee fund Of, say, $3.50 in
each town with which to buy rail-
way mileage. With this item OF
expense disposed of, the gate re-
ceipts would pay the other expenses
and probably would leave each team
a small surplus at the end OF the
season.
The proposition will be thorough
" talked over at the meeting to be
hold at the Commercial Hotel hall
this evening, notice OF which IS
given elsewhere.

MILES OF HIGHWAY
SHOW IMPROVEMENT
Much Accomplished on First Good
Roads Day in Spite Of Bad
Weather q

At least thirty miles of highway
were made more safe and con sortable
to travel over as the result of Ken
newick's first Good Roads Day, is
the estimate of the committee which
had the work in charge.
Everybody helped except the
weather man and he sent us the
coldest, rawest, windiest day he had
on tap. Perhaps that was bles-
sing in disguise, however, as the
cold wind kept the workers on the
move to avoid freezing. It is doubt
full, anyway, if there were many
deferred from working on account
of the bad day. The town was
closed up tight, except in one or
two cases, and those who had vol
untreed beforehand donned an extra
sweater and pair of goggles and
showed up at the appointed hour.
Most of the workers devoted their
time to digging boulders and raking
small stones out of the roads, but
in many places culverts were laid
Aross the road to drain off the irri-
CATION waste water and fills were
made with teams and scrapers to
do away with the bad mud holes
which have plagued motorists and
teamsters in years past.
In many cases the workers were
served hot coffee by the farmers
along the way and there was gen.
eral cooperative spirit shown by the
country people in furnishing teams
and implements where the work
was heaviest. The committee wish
ITO thank each and everyone who
helped make the day such a success
and they hope that so much real
benefit will be realized from it that
all will be anxious to have another
and bigger Good Roads Day next
year.
