TIED
AT BOTH ENDS
Benton City and Richland
Paired for First Place
in Baseball

Although the four teams which
comprise the Benton County Baseball
league may not be qualified to per-
form in fast company they promise
to provide one of the prettiest pen
nant races ever pulled off in the
county. The three games of the
league series have convinced fans
that the four teams are evenly match
ed and before the season is over there
is going to be some mighty exciting
ball in these parts.
iAs things now stand there is a
race on from top to bottom. Richland
and Benton City have each won two
and lost one game and are tied for
first place. Kennewick and Hanford
have each won q game and lost two
and are tied in the cellar. Next Sum
day Richland plays here and Benton
City in Hanford.
Sundays game in Richland might
not have been just exactly classy ball
but it furnished plenty of thrills for
the spectators and was close enough
for the most exacting fan. Richland
won to 1, when Yedica heaved one
out into the sage brush and Kenne-
wick fielders couldn't find it. That
was in the seventh when the score
stood one all. The game was bat
tie between pitchers Glispey and Berg
with the latter having a little the
edge. He allowed. only three hits
while Richland found fho Roupoxr;clr
twirler for four. Errors were even,
three all.
Next to Glispey in the box, Cope
land at short and Woods at third
shone for Kennewick and speared
some fast ones that had they been
unspeared would have made the score
look rather warped.

somewhat uneven as to size; the

One Day
CASUALTIES HEAVY

Bdenos Aires, July 9. (By the A,
P)-Latest advices from Rio de
Janiero indicated that the previous
announcement of the capture by gov
ernment forces of the rebel position
in Sac Paulo was premature. The
positions now are being bombarded
cooperating, it is stated, and the
by heavy ARTILLERY with airplanes
official word is that "all is ready
for the final assault"
The uprising has already cost sew
eral hundred lives and much proper
ty damage. After the loyal troops
within the city had been defeated the
arrival of government reinforcements
forced the rebels to take up defen-
sive positions in the Luz barracks
and the adjoining railway station,
and it is these places which are un-
der bombardment. Previous advices
indicated they had been taken by
assault.
A battle between rebel forces and
six hundred federal Marines and
soldiers occurred Sunday at San Ber-
nardo. near Sac Paulo. According
to unofficial accounts. the federal
losses in this fight were heavy, to-
falling 26O dead and 200 wounded.
The number of casualties in San
Paulo is not known.

Governor Richie himself led the
Maryland delegation in procession
and for convention as prolonged
and hard-fought as the present
one has been the demonstration for
Davis was demonstration of unity
and good feeling and relief.
Davis People Happy
The Davis people, jubilant after
fight through two conventions to
nominate their man, sent the lead
ers of their delegation headed by
Mrs. Izatta Jewell down to the
platform to review the procession.
They had worked hard to nominate
him in San Francisco four years
ago and had failed; they had
worked hard here in New York and
had suffered the discouragement Of
seeing his chances drop to almost
nothing before they turned and
rolled over the debris of the dead
lock between Smith and McAdoo.
The crowd was happy at the
prospects of having a nomination
and going hcme and the delegates
and alternates pranced along with
as much vigor as If they had not
been at it countless days, and nights
and as if they were not shy several
aggregate nights of sleep.

nomination Of Mr.. Davis. He re-
Piled he had none.
"Will you. make one later?" he
was asked.

BLACK RUST IS
BEHIND IN ITS
YEARLYAT'TACK
Reports Over Northwest Give
Crops Better Than Even
Break at This Time
NONE IN NO. DAKOTA
Expert Reports That Tour
Through the State Fails
To Show Any Rust

Minneapolis, July 9.--The North
west grain crops are away to fly
ing start in their annual $4,000, 900
handicap race with black stem rust.
according to a statement today by
the conference for the Prevention of
Grain Rust, which represents agri-
cultural interests of l3 North Cen
trail states.
The statement is based on reports
of field observers CT the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
who are stationed at strategic points
in the spring wheat territory.
"The first appearance of rust was
from 10 days to- two weeks later
than usual while the cereal crops
have lately been catching up to nor
NAL for this time Of year," the
statement said. "At present the
grain everywhere seems to have an
excellent chance to escape serious
damage. Unless the weather from
now on is unusually favorable to
the spread Of rust the loss this year
will be only small fraction of the
average for the past seven years,
which is approximately $50,000,O00.
"In North Dakota and Montana,
not single sign of rust has been
noted in the fields. During the
first week in July competent OBJ
server from the state college of ag-
riculture made trip from Fargo
through the Red River Valley to
Pembina, west to Devils Lake and
back to Fargo without finding a
trace of stem rust in any of the
many fields Inspected"
Reasons For Condition
Reasons advanced for the excel
lent prospects include the cold
spring which retarded the spread
Of rust from the barberry and the
great reduction in these bushes
through the eradication campaign of
federal and state authorities. The
destruction of some ten million
bushes in the last seven years has
greatly reduced the amount of in
itial rust inoculum.
"There are still enough barberry
bushes in the spring wheat states
to produce severe attacks Of rust
when weather conditions are right
the statement says. "This is illus
trated that on July sixty-five
iarbe,ry bushes We're found at WI.
mar. Minnesota. JnGcr certain
wind and weather conditions these
bushes could furnish sufficient
!noculum to affect grain crops in
the Red River Valley, officials say.
