LOCALS HANG ANOTHER
SCALP ON THEIR BELT

| No we'll organized ball club should
60 into an important game with only
one pitcher available. With the Fourth
of July game at Pasco with Connell
in mind, Manager Harry Foltz started
Jack Blair in the box ii the game at
Finley last Sunday and Jack proved
that he was all that had been claimed
of him by pitching no hit game.
He had lots of smoke and hop to the
ball and his control was well nigh
pofect. He wiffed 1s of the Finey
hitters and had shut out up to
the ninth inning when couple of
errors, cne of them committed by Jack
himself, allowed Finley to score its
one run in the game.
Jay Montgomery was the receiving
end of the White Bluffs battery; Will
Jams played first; Ralston left field;
Skinny Beyers in center and Ralph
Wi1Csor on third base. The rest of
tie payers w,.e in their regular
positions.
The heavy wind storm blowing ac-
ross the diamond made fast and
accurate fielding out CT the question
and it also bothered the batters. The
White Bluffs hittecs, however, con-
nected for enough safe drives to score
five runs and with Blair pitching
shutout ball, the result was never
in doubt.
Manager Foltz has accepted the
challange of the Connell club to play
in Pasco on the Fourth of July and
in the games in which White Bluffs
vii engage between now and that
date, he will try to whip into line
the best possible club.
Connell is reported to have an unus-
ually good team this year and it's re-
cord of games won is almost as good
as that OF the White Bluffs team. Con-
nell plays in league made up of
teams from Ritzville, Lind, Washtuc-
ma and Connell.
The committee in charge OF the
sport arrangements of the Pasco cele-
Il alton has agreed to turn over to the
two teams the e:ltire gate receipts of
the game.
The committee estimates that there
will be fully thousand people to wit
ness the game which, with an adnis-
sion Of so cents, would roll up purse
CT $500 to be divided, probably, rs per
ce.,t to the winner and rs per cent to
the loser. The town of Connell is all
hepped up over its team and is so
confident of winning the Fourth,
that they are said to want to play,
winner take all. Sounds interesting and
if Connell has that good club the
game will surely be worth seeing.

NORTH and SOUTH
HIGHWAY SIGNS POSTED

L. L. Perry and WI. Jenkins were
in Grant County Tuesday, posting
road signs. One large two by eight
$40. sign, calling attention 20 the all
year around north and south highway
through Beverly, Wahluke Felry,
White Bluffs and Kenre wick to con-
n -ction wi h the Columbia River High
way at Plymouth Umatilla, was put
up on the east side Of the Columbia riv-
er near the new Vantage Ltidge. There
is square in the center of this sign,
about two by two feet, with map
showing the complete route from
Vantage to Umatilla, with the location
of the different towns along the high
way.
Other signs weref posted about
six miles south Of Beverly directing
the traffic by way of Wahluke ferry.
Since the ferry-boat, "Kitty-G Grant"
changed her residence from Vantage
to Wahluke with the completion of the
bridge at the former place, there has
'oeen steady increase in traffic at
Wahluke and this increase will un-
doubtedly continue as the north and
south highway through here becomes
better known to the travelling public.

In all accidents investigated by
