NEW YORK. Feb. 4.-United
Press).-New York's chances In the
approaching American League PEN
nant race depend largely upon the
gamble the Yankee owners made in
getting Urban Shocker back from
the st. Louis Browns.
George Sissier and the owners OF
the st. Louis club insist that they
got all the better of the deal when
they secured Joe Bush. CASTOR and
another rookie pitcher from the
Yankees in exchange for Shocker.
They contend that Bush has Just
as much good pitching In him at
Shocker: that Bush win be mors
contented In st. Louis than Shocksi
was and that he will be invaluable
as a utility outficlder and a pinch
hitter. CASTOR. they figure, is ont
| OF the most promising young pitch
| ers in the American League.
New York Officials. although th'
fans are not unanimously in agree
ment with them. contend tina
Shocker will strengthen the team
and that the Yankees did not hav
to weaken another department to sc
n badly needed pitcher with expei
ience.
Shocker is expected to win twent.
games or more for the Yankees an
most any trade that could brinl
with 1t the promise of twenty game
is not considered by the Yankees a
a dangerous gamble.
Col. Jake Rupert. owner Of th'
former American League champions
believes that Shocker will win a
least twenty games and that man,
OF his victories will be turned ir
against tho pennant contendinf
clubs.
For years" Rupert said. -

greatest pitcher in the American

BATTLE MAY NOT Be
STAGED As EXPECTED
By FAIR PLAY.

Copyright. 1925. Casper Tribune)
NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-There Ia
talk that Paul Berlenbach and Tiger
Flowers have not yet definitely
agreed to meet next month. The
fault is said to lie with Paul's man
agor.
As for Flowers. II he "a not going
stale himself. then he has decided 70
stop being a fighter and TO make an
end mans specially out OF his act.
Against Ted Moore in Newark. the
Tiger on Monday night slapped Eng
llshman good and plenty for two
rounds just to let him know that
1t would not pay him to get gay and
thereafter he tapped and pulled his
punches throughout the remainder
Of the IL rounds-or. at least. ap.
peared to-while Moore hung his
right on Flowers Jaw enough times
to have knocked out a dozen culiud
persons II thre had been any amount
OF 7. N. T. back of them.
In the twelfth round, while tbs
fans-not very many Of them-who
had come TO the Newark armory ex.
pecting to e murder, whistied and
laughed. the Tiger shAdow.boxed
around his opponent and iarded
hardly a blow.
When the bell rang for the end
OF the fight, he pulled a hde-spiit.
ting fake knockout. doing a sta &c
fall and then bounding to his feet
and throwing his arms about Ted's
shoulders in a manner OF brotherly
affection.
1t was n pleasant evening all
around Flowers, in the second
round. opened up an old cut on
Moore's face and throughout tho
battle his handlers could not staunch
the flow. There was nothing seri.
ous about It and It did not seem TO
bother tho E~nglishman to any OK.

Moo-e's manager admitted his
man needed a rest and said he was
going to get It. After which he was

HUCCINS COUNTS ON
URBAN SHOCKER TO
TURN In VICTORIES

as the greatest money pitcher in
baseball. "I'd like to have been
In the box II we were playing for
the Yankee Stadium. He's that
good when the most depends upon
him."
Some New York fans. who are
not fond OF Miller HuGEins. said that
the Browns sneaked up from behind
and clipped him when they put over
the deal. Bush was very popular
hero and they figured that he had
just as much good baseball left in
him AZ Shocker has and that he IS
a much better team-player than the
tempermental Shocker.
No matter what Hug gins does, he
will DO criticised by certain OF the
New York fans. Although he could
point to n number of fine players
including the Ra3ah Hornsby. who
started under him when he was lead
ing the st. Louis Cardinals. 1t hai
always been contended here tina

The partner of the man who ad-
mitted this robbery confessed that
in all they had committed about
twelve robberies. In nearly every
instance a stolen machine was used

a quick getaway. This prisoner 10

at Bloomington, Ind, and planned
together to rob the Terminal Lunch
room at Indianapolis. That night
we stole an automobile at Blooming

lowing night. On the evening Of
March "a. we picked up another man
who is now fugitive and the three
of us drove to Indianapolis.

part in the career of most of these

story. He is twenty-three years old

Home Made Puzzle

Our friend Mattecheck is one foxy
guy. In his ad published in this weeks
paper he is running a cross word puz-
zle and offering an attractive prize
for the best solution. The puzzle, by
the way, was originated by Mrs.
Matte" Anyway, one of the condi-
tions in winning this prize, in addi-
ton to the solving of the puzzle, is
to submit an idea for window dis
play. Right here is where Matte
shines.
The manufacturers of Linoleum
have hung up a prize consisting of
four thousand dollar sedan for the
dealer making the best display of
their product. Matte has his heart
set on becoming owner of that Sc
dan. With the whole town to contri.
butte ideas for a novel display, he
figures he might as well buy the Ii.
cense plate right away.
At that, Matte is putting up prizes
worth trying for.

NO AIR MAIL.
THIS SUMMER
Department Won't Call fol
Bids for Proposed Pas
co-Utah Postal Route

Dispatches from Washington, ID.
c., indicate that Pasco nor any other
Northwestern city will receive air
mail service this summer as no peti.
tions have been received by the de-
partment for the establishment of
such service.
In fact, to date, only one set of Pc
titions has been received by the de-
partment asking for contract for air
mail, that favoring air service be.
tween Chicago and Kansas City.
On the strength of these petitions
the department is now arranging to
advertise for bids for service between
these two cities only, and can take
no steps looking to the establishment
of any route in the Northwest, be-
cause under the law this service can
only be established when recommend
ed by the postmasters at terminal
points and when it is shown that the
service, if inaugurated, will probably
pay.

Home Team Gets Good
Hand Hold on Pennant
- Each Beats Other

Not for long time has a ball
game in Kennewick caused the enthu-
siasm such as was displayed on the
local field last Sunday when Pasco
was defeated by a six-three score,
The score, no doubt, made the game
seem all the better to the local fans,
but even the Pasco rooters admit that
it was a good, snappy exhibition.
The defeat knocks Pasco out of the
thousand per cent class and puts
Kennewick in a tie for first place,
Each team has defeated the other on
its home grounds. There will be two
more official games in the Straw
berry league between these two
teams and one unofficial game to be
played here on Decoration Day.
Next Sunday Kennewick will play
at White Bluffs. Pasco will play Con.
nell. The dope indicates no change
in the standings.

PIONEER SELLS
ART GALLERY
j. H. Gravenslund, Who has
Lived Here for 20 Years,
Sells to Pasco Man

j. H. Gravenslund this week sold
his photograph gallery and business
to j. C. Turner of Pasco. who took
charge at once. Mr.. Gravenslund
has been in the same business in
Kennewick for twenty years, being
one of the very few remaining busi-
ness men who were here at that time,
Trouble with his eyes is the reason
he is leaving his line at this time.
Coming to Kennewick when the
town was a mere promise, Mr.. Grav-
enslund opened gallery and has
since conducted the business. At the
time of his arrival there were but
four men who are still in the same
line, and who have remained in Ken
newick continuously for the ensu-
ing decade. Twenty years ago, Edw.
Sheppard had his drug store where
it now stands; L. E. johnson was in
the banking business on the First
National corner; Bert Lloyd was here
serving refreshments and r. E. Reed
was at the printing game. Others
to be sure, are here now who were
around then, but changes in occupa-
tion and absences for intervals, have
lost for them the title of old tim
ers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gravenslund will
spend a couple of months vacation
on the sound, after which it is likely
that they will return to Kennewicl
to make their home.
