County to Store
Farm Equipment

Benton County USDA War
Board, in behalf of farmers in the
White Bluffs, Hanford, and the
Richland communities, has taken
up with the county commissioners
individually the proposition of CIV
ing free storage of farm equipment
until this equipment would be put
in use possibly a year later. 1t
is felt that once a farmer has sold
his equipment he is definitely out
of the farming business for the
duration.
A very gratifying response has
been given by the county COM
missioners who state that the road
district yards may be used and the
Evans stockyards at Prosser.

S. S. Attendance
On UP Grade

Attendance last Sunday, Sill
which is about IS percent increase
over that reported for the previous
Sunday and which is tops so far,
in our Sunday School Crusade. At
the Nazarene school the blacks are
leading the green's by small mar
gin, and for the first time during
the campaign, the blues lead the
reds, at the Baptist church. Nearly
all the schools are showing nice
attendance growth.
According to last weeks Courier
Reporter, our city's population has
taken so percent jump, which, of
itself, presents to every one of our
churches, a. challenge as well as a
golden opportunity, to be of service
to the strangers in our midst, many
of whom, through force of circum-
stances, have been compelled to
temporarily sever former church
connections; to such we extend an
urgent and cordial invitation to wor-
ship with us.
The March monthly Sun. school
rally held at the Methodist church
on hte 18th was a very enjoyable
affair. The speaker, the Rev. Holden
of Baptist church, stressed the idea
of "salesmanship'-the selling of the
grandest thing in the world, the gos-
pel-to human hearts. Accompanied
by Mrs. E. c. Ferrel, Mrs. Glenna
Larkin's vocal solo was very greatly
enjoyed.
Friends, let us, in a great big way,
get behind this concerted move
nlent to restore to Kennewick and
the nation, the habit of church and
Sunday school attendance.

Latsios, Perry Facing
Stern Tests in Main
Bouts al Turner'S

Nick Latsios, Golden Greek of
Alexandria, and Aaron Perry, Dis
trict sensation, will face the sternest
tests Of their careers in separate
eight-round headline fights tonight
at Turner's Arena.
Latsios, winner OF 13 straight, who
has been promised a shot at either
Lightweight Champ Beau Jack or
Frankie Wills, will tangle with Char
ley Bennett, Baltimorean who re-
Gently moved to Washington. Ben
nett is known as the "spoiler" be-
cause he has ruined the hopes Of a
number OF fighters.
Perry will go against Taffy Cum
mings Of the Royal British Navy,
perhaps the only son Of John Bull
who actively Is battling in American
rings.
Latsios, soldier who is stationed
at Boiling Field, likely will rule a
6-5 favorite, despite BENEFITS fine
record, while Perry, who has scored
six knockouts in eight pro fights
doubtless will carry the same odds
against Cummings.
This is Perry's first top-line fight
and the young automobile mechanic
could pave the way for some top
notch winter bouts If he wins. He
boasts a powerful right hand.
Three other bouts are on the pro-
gram. Johnny Finazzo, Baltimore
light heavy, will oppose Corpl. Billy
Duncan of Fort Belvoir, and Don
Bsacla of Baltimore will tackle
Jimmy McGriff at Washington In
six-rounders, while a four -rounder

Bruins Would Extend
Streak on Home Ice

b the Associated Press.
Aroused over the humiliation of
being the first team to lose to the
cellar-dwelling New York Rangers,
the Boston Bruins are out to extend
their undefeated home streak in the
National Hockey League tonight.
The Bruins, unbeaten in seven
games on home ice so far this sea-
son, take on the Chicago Black
hawks at the Boston Garden. A
Boston victory would put the Bruins
into second place, one point ahead
Of Chicago and Toronto, now dead
locked for the runnerup spot be-
hind the league-leading Montreal
Canadiens.
The circumstances surrounding
the game resemble those after the
Bruins took 1874 pasting, their
worst defeat in history, from the
Canadiens last month. At that time
there were rumors Of a shake-up
unless the Bruins showed decided
Improvement in their next game.
Sure enough, two days later, the
Bruins whipped Toronto by three
goals.
The Bruins lost to the Rangers
on Sunday night, 6-4.

Make Berger, Jewish Canadian
welterweight who aspires to the
national championship, helped his
cause considerably last night when
he earned a unanimous decision
over Ernest (Cat Robinson OF New
York in 10 hot rounds at Uline
Arena.
Berger had few witnesses to his
cleverness, which brought the YER
dict over the harder punching Rob-
inson, as only 9e2 paid Sl,545 to
see the entertaining encounter.
There were no knockdowns but
Robinson staggered Berger in the
sixth with punches to the chin and
jaw and again got in some good hcks
in the ninth.
Berger, however, took all Robin
son could give in good style and in
strategy and infighting was COM
plete master of his foe.

New Nat RighthandeI
Hurled in Fine Style
For Low|y Macks

Buck (Bobo) Newsom, much -trav-
eled pitcher, has gone again from the
Washington ball club in straight
trade for Hurler Roger Wolff OF the
Philadelphia Athletics and Prexy
Clark Griffith Is convinced he has
added slab power to his Nationals,
second-placers in the American
League last season.
Griff, who likes knuckle- ball
pitchers, believes the right-handed
Wolff, who tosses that type of ball,
will be a winner for the Nationals
during the 1943 campaign. He won
10 games against Is losses for the
AS, fine showing with a last-place
club, and Griff feels he can reverse
this record for the Mats and help
make them serious pennant con-
tenders in 1914.
Effective Against Yankees.
The Nationals prexy pointed out
that three of VOLTS triumphs were
scored at the expense of the world
champion Yankees.
Griffith said he hated to part with
NeWsom, who won three and lost
three for the Mats, after coming
here fairly late in the season from
the st. Louis Browns, where he had
been shipped by the Dodgers after he
had played part in revolution"
against Manager Leo Durocher of
the Brooklyn club. Newsom, who
was with the Mats for the third
time, had a full season record of
four victories against nine losses.
Wolff, tall 2O0-pound right
handler, who went to the Athletics
in l94l from Williamport in the
Eastern League, is married, 80 wears
old and At in the draft, due to a
heart murmur. He works in his
fathers Chester, ILL.,, butcher shop
during the off season.
Wolff worked in Al games with the
AS last year. He appeared in many
relief roles, saving many games for
Rookie jeff Flores. He was consid-
cred the "workhorse" of the Ath-
letic staff. In 1912, his first full year
IN the majors, he appeared in 80
games, winning IL and losing Is. His
earned run average in 1912 was 1882
and last season 3.51.
Newsom Won't Talk.
Newsom, when advised of the deal
at his home in Hartsville, S. c., said
1t was the first he had heard of it
and declined comment.
Griffith and Connie Mack made
the swap over the phone while the
Athletics veteran pilot was in Fred
erick, Md, completing arrangements
for taking his squad there for Spring
training.
Asked If he feared trouble from
the temperamental Bobo, Mack said
Il think we will get along fine. I'm
not worrying about - the past. I'm
figuring on the future"
In addition to his three periods
with Washington, Newsom also spent
three terms with Browns, two with
Brooklyn and one each with the
Chicago Cubs, Detroit and Boston
Red Sox.
