KenneWick Has
Band Out TO Meet
Seattle'S Boosters
Some take trip over the
Highlands; all get ber-
ries, folders and grape
Juice

The ninety Seattle business men,
who visited Kennewick Tuesday aft
ernoon while on their goodwill tour
Of Eastern Washington, seemed quite
favorably impressed with Kenne-
wick's growth since their visit to our
city in 1897.
Upon their return to the train at
Prosser the visitors found awaiting
them a box of Kennewick's famous
'Wray Red" strawberries with an
illustrated folder telling of our var
ious crops in preparation for their
visit to our city. ... s---
They were greeted at the depot
by the Kennewick high school band,
with music being rendered during
the visitors one-half hour stay here.
The Seattleites stated that they had
been doubly honored due TO the fact
that Kennewick was their first stop
SO far on the tour where they had
been greeted by a band.
Members of the local Chamber Of
Commerce had cars available to
show the visitors around Kennewick.
Some of them asked about the dee
hcious berries they had sampled and
they were Immediately escorted to
some of the large berry patches.
Others were taken to the famous
concord grape vineyard and thru
the grape Juice plant, the Big Y
freezing plant, the new cannery,
various orchards and quite a S,um-
Der visited the Highlands, where
they might learn more of the High
Line Irrigation district, which prov
ed most interesting to them. Some
who did not prefer the excursion
trips, remained at the station plat
form and chatted with local bust
ness men.
The special train took the visitors
on to Pasco for a similar visit and
on to walla Walla, where they would
dine in the evening. Other places
they would visit before returning to
Seattle included Spokane, Wenat-
chez and Cashmere.

Five Teams in
Soft Ball League
Double header games to
be played under lights
both here and at Pasco
diamond

The deadline for entering teams
in the Pasco-Kennewick Softbar
League was passed on May 18th
and when reportsswere made to the
managing committee on the evening
of that day twelve teams were found
to be entered. Another team has
contacted the committee, but was
not definitely entered. The dead
line was therefore set ahead until
six o'clock Monday evening, May
Goth. Up to this time two more
teams may enter to make up the
limit of IA teams.
OF the twelve teams now enter
ed, five are from Kennewick and
seven from Pasco. The opening
night will be Monday, June in
Pasco and Wednesday, June in
Kennewick. Special features are
being planned for opening night,
which include parade Of all teams
and a drill by the Pasco drum and
bugle corps.
It was originally planned that
there should be two divisions, COM
mercial and fraternal, but because
most of the teams desired to play
in the commercial division, the fra
ternal division has been eliminated,
and all teams will play in a single
league, each team being allowed a
maximum of 20 players on its eligi-
bility list.
There will be a double header on
each night of play, the first game
beginning at 8. each team playing
one league game each week. After
the first round robin the league will
be divided into first and second di-
visions, according to the standings
at that time. Subsequently each
team will be matched with other
teams of it's own division.
Kennewick Teams
Kennewick teams which have
been entered are: Kennewick Cubs,
Conoco Cougars, Texaco, The Lu-
therans and the Highlands. Pasco
teams are: Odd Fellows, Bonneville.
Eagles, Columbia Market, Active
Club, Court House Workers, and a
team consisting of players from
Riverview, who have no sponsor as
yet.
The softball project is being spon-
sored by the Kiwanis Club OF Ken
newick and the Active Grub OF Pas
co. A joint committee from these
two organizations constitutes the
league management. Members OF
the Kiwanis Club on this commit
tee are Rev. Carl Lucky, DR.. M. w.
Stevens and John Neuman. Active
Club members are John Scott,
S. Kragh and Grant Stringham.
The committee is organized With
Rev. Lucky as chairman and John
Scott as secretary. Urban Keolker
handles all funds for the KiWanls
Club. and Charles Spears is IN
charge of arrangements for the
playing field.
Milo Candee, of Pasco, will use ms
sound equipment to describe eacn
game. both in Kennewick and Pasco,
and he will also advertise the games
with the sound car. 1t is planned
to have one night of play IN Ken
newick each week and two nights IN
Pasco. However if the number OF
teams gets to be IA instead OF IL
there will be an extra night OF play
in Kennewick every other week.
