He also had his worst season in
baseball. He played in but 98 of
his clubs 154 games. His batting
average dropped below the 300
mark and he connected for but 25
home runs. To make matters worse
he was handed an indefinite sus-
pension that cost him more than
$4,000. Il was freely predicted at
the end of the season that Ruth
was through.

The year after his worst season IN
baseball Ruth hit .372 clip,
cracked out II home runs, played
in l52 games and did more than
his share in lifting the Yankees, a
seventh place club in '25, to the
championship.
Wilson is about the same age as
Ruth was in 1925. If he goes about
a comeback in the same spirit as
did Ruth, he probably will be among
the games leaders next year. But
if he sulks, continues to try and
drown his sorrows, and spends his
time thinking about the raw deal
he received, he'll hit the minors
and stay there.

WHITE BLUFFS COMES
FROM BEHIND TO WIN

After spotting the Finley ball club
five runs in the first inning, the
White Bluffs youngsters demon
strated their gameness by overcom-
ing this lead ard finally nosing out
the visitors by score of nine to
eight in an interesting contest on
the White Bluffs grounds last Sun
day.
Finleys first five runs were scored
on clean hard hit balls that landed
just outside the reach of the White
Bluffs fielders. They picked up an
other run in the fifth and two more
in the eighth.
White Bluff scored its runs one
and two at a time, and tied the
count at five in the last half of the
fourth: They stepped out in front
in the sixth and kept the lead until
the end, although the visitors were
always dangerous.
Walker was in the box for White
Bluffs during the first eight innings
and although hit hard at times he
kept the hits well scattered except
in the first innings and short lapse
in the eighth, and he received good
support from his team mates. Finley
has three or four real hitters on it's
club but after the first inning they
were not given any fat ones to
swing at. Joe Wagner pitched the
last inning for White Bluffs and he
retired the three batters in order.
Center field was a bad spot for
the hitters on both clubs. Upton
scared at least five drives to that
territory for White Bluffs and the
Finley center captured the same
number, some of them real hard
chances. The real fielding feature of
the game, however, was a catch made
Of an almost sure hit by the Finley
second baseman, who speared the
drive with his glove hand while run
ming with the ball. BY quick snap
of the ball he retired the runner on
second and the ball was then whip
ped to first before the runner there
could scamper back, completing
triple play. There was one out at
the time, so that the play was only
scored as double.
Bud Heath, outfielder, and AL
Barnes, second baseman. of the reg
nlars were not in the lineup Sunday.
Chuck English, home from the Uni
versity for the day, played left field.
He did not get any chances on the
field but starred at the bat and on
the bases. Pie Morford played third
base and Emil Wagner was shifted
over to second.
Hartford won at Benton City last
Sunday by score of II to 8.
Next Sunday White Bluffs will
again play at home against Benton
City while Hanford will play Finley
at Finley.

GRANGE PLAY PROMISES
MUCH Entertainment

After several unavoidable delays,
the Grange. will present the four
act mystery comedy, "The Vulture"
on Friday night, May %, at the high
school auditorium in White Bluffs.
1t presents the most dramatic sit
uation a detective play can offer: a
life and death contest of wit between
a super crook and master mind on
the detective force. The super crook,
'"The Vulture", is first to score: his
feared adversary is mysteriously
murdered in an isolated farm house
where the murdered man has been
invited by would-be friend as chief
of party of guests, all of whom
fall under suspicion, since all have
good reasons to hate the victim.
While the solving of the mysterious
murder is supposedly in the hands
liee detective, he is copiously
assisted by hick detective of the
correspondence school type. While
these suggestions are naturally re-
ceived with much scorn, some of them
eventually furnish the clue that leads
to the capture Of the murderer. This
is an unusual mystery detective play,
replete with thrills, gooseflesh and
laughter.
Following is the cast of characters:
Miss Anderson, the gabby hired
girl, Halflie Gwin.
Catherine, a charming girl, with
an unwelcome sutton, Marcy Holecek.
viii, her timid brother, John Hol-
Geek. s7s-4ss
Tobias, the amateur deteckative,
Donald Wheeler.
The housekeeper, Dorothy Upton.
Carl, the handsome young attor-
ney, Russell Miller.
Graham, who rented the farm
house, Jack OLarey.
The Chief of Detectives, O. B. Gwin.
The French maid, Bernice Holecek.
Two flighty country girls, Olive
Walker and Marie Weber.
The hard-boiled detective, Himself.
Clerk of the Weather, A. J. Ro-
mans.
The Thunder God, Ed Ponsat.
With but two exceptions this is an
all-Grange cast. Admission will be rs
cents for school children and IS cents
for adults. The curtain will rise at
o'clock
IF, after witnessing this play, you
are not more than pleased, mention
the fact to the shekel-grabber at the
door and you will receive his heartfelt
sympathy.

YOU CAN NOW ENJOY RADIO
MUSIC WHILE DRIVING

Most people have heard of radios
in automobiles, but not many have
actually seen or heard such set. A
number in White Bluffs were given
an opportunity to hear one last Sat
urday when Jerry Johnson, Seattle
representative for the Atwater Kent
radio, drove into town and parked his
car in front of the White Bluffs Drug
company, local agent for the Atwater
Kent. Mr. Johnson said the Atwater
Kent people were not yet making an
auto radio and the one he had in
stalled in his car was a Super Motor
ola. screen grid auto radio.
The set is not visible, being located
under the cowl of the car, with the
tuning device attached to the steering
wheel post. The antenna is also in
visible, being located between the
frame and the lining of the top. The
ground wire is attached to the metal
of the car Mr.. Johnson said the set
gives good reception while the car is
running and that it is just another
added pleasure to driving. The set he
had retails for 500 so.

OLD BARBER SHOP TO BE
REMODELED FOR DWELLING

Mrs. c. 1. Wright has purchased
from Mrs. Opal Gregory of Seattle
the old barber shop building near the
pool hall and had it moved this week
to a lot between the Wright home
and the Bonn house where it will
be remodeled into a home for Mrs.
Ronald Ralston. The building was
one of the first built in the old town
of White Bluffs. 1t housed the White
Bluffs postoffice in the early days,
was later used as a real estate office
by the White Bluffs Land & Irriga-
ton Company and still later was
purchased by William Gregory for
his barber shop. 1t was one OF the
buildings brought out to the present
location of the town when it moved
from the river to the railroad about
thirteen years ago.

Motion to
Change Venue
Is Granted
Court Holds Injunction
Suit Must Be Tried
In Benton County

The motion for a change Of venue
from Yakima to Benton county was
granted last Friday by Superior
Judge Dolph Barnett to the Priest
Rapids irrigation district in suit
brought by a group of the land own
ers In the district seeking to enjoin
the issuance and sale Of the $l25,000
in bonds voted by the landowners
in the district on April Is.
A second motion, to dismiss the
case on the ground that it had been
improperly started in Yakima coun-
ty, was denied by the Court.
The irrigation district, it's board
of directors, and the Chicago, Mil
waukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad
Company were made defendants in
the action. Attorneys for the inter
ested parties argued the two motions
before Judge Barnett at hearing in
Yakima on May Q. At the conclusion
of these arguments the Court said
he would take the case under adj
visement.
In seeking dismissal of the suit,
attorneys for the defense contended
that it should have been started in
Benton county because Of a law
providing that action against public
officials shall be brought in the coun-
ty where the case arises applies to
irrigation district directors.
Judge Barnett held that directors
are public officials and are entitled
to have the case tried in Benton
county and that his court has juris-
diction to transfer the case.
He did not uphold contentious
that a transfer of the case was pre-
vented because the Chicago, Mil
waukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad
Co., was made defendant along
with the district and the directors.
But while the case could properly
be brought in Yakima county SO far
as the railroad company was con-
cerned, according to the ruling, the
Court held that this did not take
away the right of the other de-
PENDANTS to have the case tried in
Benton county.
Judge Barnett decided to deny
the railroads motion for change,
which the plaintiffs opposed, as they
also did the motion of the district
and directors. Upon learning of the
Courts ruling, one of the attorneys
for the plaintiffs, according to the
Yakima Herald, said they probably
will agree to have the case changed
to Benton county so far as the rail
road is concerned, since the court
held it should be transferred as to
the other defendants
Mo date for a hearing in Benton
: county has yet been fixed but it is
expected that attorneys for the inter-
ested parties will agree to have this
set at AN early date.

GROWERS ELECT v. S.
WEBER AS DELEGATE

A meeting of the growers of this
valley was held Tuesday evening at
Liberty hall. The meeting was called
by Doyle Starcher, district horticul-
turist, and was for the purpose of
selecting a delegate to the grade
and pack conference to be held at
Yakima on Thursday, May Fl. Mr..

meeting and l.. A. Codding as sec
rotary.
w. S. Weber of Hartford was
elected as delegate and R. j. Roberts
of White Bluffs as alternate.
From the information disclosed at
the meeting it is not expected that
the grade and pack conference will
make any radical changes in the
present rules, but that a real effort
will be made to bring about a more
unified Interpretation of these rules.
A move is also to be made to pre-
vent the shipment of the fourth
grade apples in the regular standard
boxes.
