Decoration Day and broke even with
the fast Fearless team of that city,
winning the morning game by the
score of 10 to 13. and losing the af-
ternoon game by the score of 13 to 8.
Murphy. the star pitcher Of Fearless,
performed well in pinches. The south
paw had Belmont 10 to / until the
seventh inning. when they found him
for seven rams.
ANDY" Rimlinger had the batting
laurels, getting two doubles in the
morning and triple in the afternoon.
Bud" Johnson also had a good day
both at bat and in the field.
Happy Cunningham and Nc
Monigle had a busy day in the out
field and both played sterling game.
Jimmie Hague held short down in
big league style. He got double
in the morning.
McElwee pitched nice game in the
morning.
Although they we're out of their
class, Belmont Jrs. played fast games.

Giants Get Pounding While
Clubs Back is Against Wall

National League club owners. They
reduced the number of players any
club could carry to twenty-one. Nc
Graw was the hardest hit of any Ma
tional League manager. Last year
when the Feds were raiding the ranks
of organized ball McGraw, to protect
himself, signed most of his veterans
under longtime contracts. Now he
hasn't room for the youngsters that
he needs in order to build up club
for the future.
Obituaries have been written about
the Old Master-Christy Mathewson-
year after year. Already he has been
consigned to the boneyard this year
But he is still out there on the Giant
bench and he will be on the firing line
many times this season. And when
the hot sun of July and August melts
the kinks out of his arm the "Old
Master will chalk up many a victory
on the Giants slate.
Big JEFF Tesreau, the least hashy OF
the Giants twirlers but the most de-
pendable, is working like a trojan
these days. He is big and capable OF
working often and McGraw is pushing
him to the limit until some of his
others get going. Rube Marquard
flashes a few great games and ther
slumps. There is still the chance
that he will get right and stay there
and If he does he is unbeatable. After
he handed the Cubs a beating in the
first game of their last series here
Roger Bresnahan was heard to OBJ
serve:
mo club in the world could beat
that fellow the way he is going today
If he keeps that up McGraw won't
have to worry"

often and he has pitched good bal

NEW YORK, June 4.-John Nc
Graw has his back against the wall.
The doughty little manager of the
four-time pennant winning Giants is
at last faced with the prospect Of
plotting a trailing team. That the
outlook doesn't set well with the
Little Napoleon" is plainly evidenced
by the cyclonic shake-ups that he
hands his lineup.
He hasn't quit yet. The word quit
doesn't appear in his vocabulary. The
pounding that his club is getting
from the others in the Tener loop will
only serve to make McGraw fight
harder than ever But even his most
ardent supporters admit that this year
his fight looks like a losing one.
To many it looks like the old Giant
machine has crumbled And 1t is an
odd circumstance of fate that the
once powerful aggregation is wither-
ing away just as two famous ma
chimes of other days that cracked a
few years ago are getting back into
power. These two are the Tigers
and the Cubs The Detroit outfit is
run high back to the fore as a con-
tender in the American league under
the same leader that piloted il in the
winning days of the past-"Eeh YAH
Hughie Jennings The Chicago gang
is being pulled back up the ladder OF
fame by one of McGraw's old lieuten-
ants, Roger Bresnahan. Frank
Chance guided the destinies of the
old-time pennant coping Cubs-and
he was there when they hit the skids,
too.
It is the indefnable something
which is missing from the Giant
ranks-that something" which a
club has to have to stay on top
through the long, hot days of August
and September. when the weak sisters
who flash in the spring wither away.
The old stars are mostly with the
club and seemingly they still deliver
the goods. Their batting averages
all look good but when you watch
their work day after day you see that
the punch" is gone. They are not
able to rise up and crush the opposi-
tion in the crises any more as they
used to do.
Probably the hardest individual
blow McGraw got was a wallop by the

BADGER CANYON TO
Be FULL OF FUN
To Be the Big Amusement Fea-
ture at the Grape Carnival
Money No Good

"Meet Me at Badger Canyon" !"
This slogan printed on hat bands, la
pei ribbons and Grape Carnival ad-
vertising placards has aroused the
public's curiousity and brought forth
the question as to why anybody would
ever wish to meet anybody else in
Badger canyon. Well, ordinarily they
wouldn't. But this time it's different.
The real Badger canyon out Horse
Heaven. way and this Badger canyon
are two different fellows. The one is
full of joy stunts and fun devices as
the other is of dust holes and jack
abbits.
In short Badger canyon is to be
the big fun feature Of the Grape Car
nival. The spirit of the good old days
when the country was young and
whole-souled hospitality grew on ev-
cry sagebrush is to be reflected there.
Happy-go-lucky scenes of pioneer life
are to be enacted there. It will be
the only place on the carnival grounds
where Uncle Sans money is no good.
The only legal tender in Badger cam
yon will be crisp bills of Ten Bones
each and these will be good for moth
ing but fun. And fun there will be
fun in variety of all dimensions and
complexions-fun for young and old
fun for everybody.
The committee with premeditated
intent is saying but little about the
details of the stunts which are to be
pulled off within the boundaries Of
Badger canyon. Members of the COM
mittee insist that they need the as
sistance of neither the city admins
tration nor the national board Of CEN
sorship to pull off show that will be
fully up to specifications of real pio-
neer attraction.
"Meet Me At Badger Canyon"
It will be full Of bones, but no ceme-
terry, believe me!

STATE OFFICIALS TO
VISIT GRAPE CARNIVAL
Members of Public Service Commits
sion Will be in the City on
Next Monday

Next Monday, opening day of the
Grape Carnival, the people of Kenne-
wick will have as their guests the
members of the state public service
commission. When here recently the
members of the commission became so
interested in this section Of the
country that they agreed to return for
the opening of the carnival.
The commission is able to do this
as the opening date switches in be-
tween two hearings, one in Walla Wal
la and one in North Yakima. 1t is
probable that some member of the
commission will be selected to give
the opening address while other men,
bers will be invited to participate in
the coronation ceremonies Of Queen
Concord.

REPORT ON THE
C|TYs FINANCES
Committee Recommends Retire
ment of Outstanding War
rants-MOney Available

At the regular meeting Of the coun-
Gil Tuesday evening the finance COM
mittee submitted a condensed report
showing the condition of the city's f.
nances. This was done that very mem
Der of the council might be more fully
conversant with the city's financial
condition before the work Of making
up the expense budget for the coming
year which will be considered at the
regular meeting September 81.
The report shows a total city in
debtedness of 55,514.82 as follows:
main trunk sewer bonds, 1000;
funding bonds, $4,000; outstanding
warrants, $2,514.82. The total local
improvement indebtedness, which is
not an Indebtedness against the city
proper, but against the property in
the several local Improvement dis
tricts amounts to $65,735.96.
The city's annual interest obliga-
tion on its Indebtedness is $3,116.18
and the local improvement. interest
amounts to $4,601.53.
There is owing to the current ex-
pense fund from the several local i'm
provement districts, sum more than
enough to retire all of the outstand-
ing warrants. Of this fact the re-
port says:
"The total of $2S52.97 and interest
is due the current expense fund and
since all L. /. DIS except a and IL
have funds enough to make the trans
fer, we recommend that the transfer
of the entire amount due from all L..
/. DIS except a and IL be made at
once and that the balance on hand in
and IL be transferred also the re-
naming amount due to be transferred
as soon as funds are collected in these
two districts.
"Funds available at this time for
transfer, $1907.18.
"By doing this the city can be again
put upon cash basis and we believe
this basis should be maintained as
long as it is possible to do So.
s'There is delinquent at this time
from the different L. I. DIS the
amounts set opposite the number Of
each district:

.R|CHLAnD FESTIVAL
IS A HUMMER
Fine Exhibits of Fruits and Live
stock are Placed-Big Day
Is Friday
The Richland Festival is proving

The Richland Festival is proving
itself to be sure "hummer" from the
very start. Every man and woman in
the district seems to have the success
of the affair at heart and each one is
doing his or her part to see that ev-
erything possible is done to make the
occasion one long to be remembered
not only by the home folks, but by
visitors from our neighboring towns,
as well.
Some very fine individual exhibits
have been placed among them being
one by Harry Miller, consisting Of SO
boxes of apples Of nearly every known
variety grown in this district. This
display is well worth the attention Of
anyone interested in the apple indus
try and its future in the Columbia riv-
er valley and the display is great
credit to Mr.. and Mrs. Miller. !
Another exhibition Of apples which
has caused great deal Of favorable
comment is that of r. McGhan. This
comprises about 25 boxs and is sight
for sore eyes, being put up in fine
shape and the varieties all that could
be asked for.
Other individual exhibitors are G.
D. Mitchell, j. r. Gardner, L. H. Cox,
A. Poison, o. H. Luelloff, T. Chalcraft
and Alfred Hammer.
In addition to the above there are
large and varied assortment of all
kinds of vegetables, fruits, etc., and
no matter what may be your particu-
lar preference in the line of green
goods you can see it at its very best
at the Festival.
Thirty-six stock entries have been
listed and more will arrive while at
least $50 plate and miscellaneous
entries are in place.
The domestic science, under the
charge of an able ladies' committee,
is one of the features Of the fair and
is being as carefully examined by the
masculine element in the attendance
as by their better halves.
Friday will be the big day at the
Festival and if you do not get out and
have good time Thursday, don't fail
to be on hand Friday. The merry-go-
round is there for the kiddies and the
old folks can find a cool spot to rest
while all those who desire to improve
their minds can find plenty of inter
esting things to see. There will be q
fine concert and minstrel show in the
evening, followed by a dance at the
Gibbs hall.
