SUNDAYS GAME
WAS FAST ONE
With Score One to One at End of
Ninth Toppenish Refuses to
Continue Play

Disputing a decision of Base Um
pire Lorenz, the Toppenish team quit
the field here last Sunday in the last
half of the ninth inning with the score
one to one tie. AT Toppenish's refus.
al to continue Umpire Martin, ir
charge of the game, declared for.
feiture in favor of Kennewick.
Sundays game was one of the fast.
est exhibitions of base ball seen or
the local grounds in recent years
Pitchers Morain and Jacobs We're al
their best and both We're given good
support by their teammates. The
]Toppenish boys touched up Morain
for nine hits but they were well scat
tered and Kennewick's left-hander
pulled out of some bad holes by pitch
ing stellar ball in the pinches. Ken
newick was able to connect with ia
cob's delivery for only three hits.
For seven innings no man on either
side crossed home plate. The first
run was scored when Toppenish put
one across in the first of the eighth.
When Kennewick came to bat in the
last of the ninth they had an unbroken
line Of goose-eggs across the score
board. Two men were out, Marshal
was on third, Morain on second with
two strikes on Gascoigne when he
laid down a hot one to short. Mo-
rain collided with the fielder on the
baseline, Marshall went home and Mo-
rain was thrown out at home, retiring
the side. Umpire Lorenz held that
the shortstop stepped back into Mo-
rain as he was attempting to pass
behind him and that the collision was
not due to the fault of the base-run-
ner. This ruling allowed Marshall's
score to stand. Lorenz's ruling was
concurred by Umpire Martin who gave
Toppenish two minutes to resume the
game. This they refused to do and
Kenfewick was declared a winner by
9 to o.
This dispute together with several
other protested games were presented
to the league directors at melting in
Prosser, Tuesday evening. After con-
siderable discussion all the protests
were referred for decision to President
Taylor, Of Grandview.
Next Sunday Kennewick plays in
Mabton and Sunnyside in Pasco.

HOVER FARMERS PRESENT
COMPLAINT TO KUYKENDALL
Director of Public Works Hears Ar.
guments for and Against
Depot Closing

E. v. Kuykendall, state director of
public works, heard the complaint of
the Hover people against the s. p. &
S. railroad for closing the depot, here
Friday afternoon.
The score Of Hover farmers who
were present to place their case before
the commissioner were assisted by M.
M. Moulton and the railway company
was represented by three of its Off
cials. The farmers contend that clos
ing the station will greatly handicap
them in marketing their products
while the railway company defends
its action on the grounds of economy.
Under present arrangements an ex-
press agent is on duty a few hours
each afternoon to receive express ship
ments but all freight shipments must
be handled through the office of the
Kennewick agent.
Director Kuykendall suggested that
compromise might be reached by re-
quiring the express agent to receive
freight especially during the summer
season. His decision has not yet been
rendered.

no;rymen and Business Men to
Cooperate in Effort to In
crease Capital
club NAMES COMMITTEES
r.,mers are to be Given Year to Pay
For the Stock from Monthly
Cream Checks

Az the result of last Saturdays
u.,, meeting a plan has been worked
III whereby it is thought the Ken
o.vick Cooperative Creamery can be
t.pt in successful operation.
The local institution is apparently
Al the parting of the ways because of
. shortage of working capital. To
mpuly this it is proposed to increase
lie capital stock from $4,000 to s15,-
900 and to place the stock jointly with
the dairymen and the business men.
The question of creamery finance
was presented to the Commercial
club at Wednesdays luncheon and sem
timent was unanimous in favor of
asking the business interests to sup
mort the creamery not alone with their
GOOD will and best wishes but with
their money. A committee composed
Of l. E. Johnson, Chas. Weigand,
and K. C. Clifford was appointed to put
on a stock selling campaign. It is
the intention of this committee to be-
gin the solicitation tomorrow and to
close the campaign by the end of the
week.
The campaign among the farmers
is to be handled by the creamery di-
rectors. It is proposed that stock be
sold to dairymen on a 12-month pay
ment plan, payments to be made by
10 per cent deductions from their
cream checks each month. Six-months
notes will be accepted from the busi-
ness men.
The corporation is to be continued
under the cooperative organization
laws which allows the maximum of
Sper cent dividends on the stock and a
percentage of the net earnings to be
turned into the surplus account, the
balance being distributed to the pat
rons.
The creamery has made an enviable
record in view of the fact that it had
only $4OO working capital to begin
with. It is estimated that not to ex-
eeed $4,000 in cash will be needed to
put it on substantial basis.

TO COMPLETE |
HOSPITAL DRIVE
Committee Expects to Make
Final Effort Within the
Next Few Days I'll

Whether or not Kennewick is to
have community hospital is to be
definitely decided within the next few
days. Officers of the association feel
that the people of the community have
had ample time to make up their
minds as to whether or not they want
a hospital or not. If they want it
there is only one way to get it and
that is for them to lend their finan-
cial aid. ss
F. A. Swingle, chairman of the as
sociation has issued the following
statement:
"In December last year, the men,
bers of the Commercial Club of Ken
newick, realizing the necessity for
hospital, directed communication to
all civic organizations of the city, re-
questing them to appoint committees
to confer with committee appointed
by the Commercial Club for the pur-
pose of formulating some plan of Sc
curing funds sufficient to enable them
to take over the present hospitals, and
provide suitable quarters for tempor-
ary accommodations.
'"These different committees met
and formed temporary organization,
and committees were appointed to So
licit funds and membership. Some
thing like $500.0O in cash has been Sc
cured and more pledged. This sum
will not justify the officers of the as
sociation to take over the hospitals,
and unless the citizens of Kennewick,
surrounding country, and communi-
ties tributary to her, see fit to make
more liberal contributions, the plan
will have to be abandoned.
"Now, while we do not claim that to
abandon the project would be Gala
nifty, we do claim that it will be a
demonstration of poor business judg-
ment, as well as prove. our lack of
faith in our own ability to own and
maintain our own institutions.
"Pasco is now completing splen-
did large hospital which will be, when
completed, equipped with all modern
improvements. Within the next two
years the Kennewick-Pasco bridge
will quite probably be completed.
doctors and their patients will
soon acquire the habit of going to Pas
co, and Kennewick may be long time
in getting hospital. The extra auto
hire, bridge toll, etc., will easily add
25 per cent to the expense of siege
of illness, and all this money goes out
of town.
at appears to the writer that now
is the time to get something perma-
nent started in the way of a hospital.
"There ,are, tributary to Kenne-
wick, over three thousand adults.
Suppose each one would agree to pay
$500 per year for membership in the
association. This would mean $15,-
10000 per year. In five years Ken
newick could boast of just as fine a
hospital as Pasco or, in fact, as any
other city of its size. ~
"Think about this, folks, and when
a representative of the hospital asso-
citation calls upon you, be ready with
your check book. Help to make this
dream a reality" go.
