MONARCHSLOSE
TOSTRONG UPPER
SANDUSKY QUINT
New Years Excursion
Turns Out Bad AS Both
Teams Meet With Defeat

Marysville high school dropped
its second basketball game in three
starts, Tuesday night, when it was
defeated by Upper SanduSky, Al
to 81.
The Rams, on whose court the
game was played, jumped into ar
early lead and were never headed.
They were in front 10 to 3 at the
end of the first period, and held a
p to Is margin at half-time.
During the third quarter, Marys-
vile pulled almost abreast of the
opposition, and at one time, early
in the fourth period, the Mcnarchs
were within three points of tying
the score. The tally at that juno
ture was 80 to % in favor of the
Rams, but they scored three quick
baskets to pull back to safe lead
and then went on to win.
lost Own Ball Game"
Commenting on the game later,
Coach Warren Widener of the
Monarchs said, 1--WE lost our own
ball game. Upper has a good team,
but too many wild passes and loose
ball handling on our part were
chiefly responsible"
Upper Sandusky'S center, one
Schneider, and a forward named
Wolfe also contributed materially
to the Monarchs' defeat. Schneider,
previously billed here as being 6
feet 9 inches tall, failed to reach
quite that height but he was 6 feet
A inches and still lowered way over
any Monarch player. This gave the
Rams a terrific advantage under
the basket at each end of the Court.
Wolfe is a short boy but plenty
fast, and handles himself well. He
was Upper'S outstanding player
from start to finish, leading the
RAMS quick break and dumping
in l3 points.
Upper Team Good
Upper SanduSky has d quick
breaking, well-coordinated team,
To say that Marysville could de-
feat them another time would be
something which could not be
proved, since the two teams will
meet no more this season. How
ever, the Monarchs definitely did
not play the brand of ball which
they showed in defeating Delaware
last week. Had their shooting and
all-around ball handling been up
to that calibre, the outcome at
Upper SanduSky would have pro-
baby been much different.
In the preliminary game, Marys-
vile Reserves led all the way un-
til the last period when Upper
Sandusky'S "B" team came from
behind to win, 80 to "a. Streng
tailed eight points to lead for the
Marysville Reserves, while Kent
was high for Upper with l6.

PLAIN CITY HANDS
MONARCHS 58-36
Loss WEDNESDAY
Scotties Just Have Too
Much of Everything For
MHS; Local Reserves Win


Marysville high school ran up a.
gainSt top-flight class "B" bas-
ketball team and was handed the
short end of a So to SO score, by
the strong Plain City team, at
Plain City, Wednesday night. Ma
rySville Reserves, however, looked
plenty good in coming out on the
long end of the game, 80 to 29
In the Varsity contest, there was
no question as to the outcome from
the very start.
The ScottieS from Plain City
have just about everything this
season, height, speed, ball hand
ling ability and bunch of Dead
eye Dicks" when it comes to bas-
ket shooting. And what's more,
they're all Juniors so they'll be
back oplaque their opponents for
another year.
Terrific Basket Shooting
Coach Warren Widener of Ma
rySville was willing to bet, this
morning, that Plain City made
good on more than half their shots
at the bucket. The average may
not have been that good-one out
of three is considered phenomenal
but there is no question but what
the Scotties made good on a far
greater than average percentage of
their attempts.
Leading the Plain City quintet is
Bob Jordan at center, a boy who
has plenty of height and is beauti-
fully co-ordinated. His work under
the baskets is exceptionally good
and he would be a welcome addi-
tion for any coach. But the whole
Scotty team is well balanced,
smooth working and simply had
MarySville out-cIaSSed.
To give the MonarChs full credit,
however, it must be pointed out
that they had a tough game at
Upper Sandusky the night pre-
vious and were still tired from this
encounter. They were pretty rag
ged the first half, although play.
ing better brand of ball the sec.
and half the locals were still faI
from being the smoothly-working
team they were against Delaware
last Friday, which partially ac-
counted for the vast difference be-
TWEEN the two teams last night. But
Plain City is a tough customer for
anyone, and should go places this
SeaSon-and next.
Scoring By Quarters
Plain City got off to an early
lead and was never in danger. The
score at the end of the first quart
er was II to 5 in favor of the Scot
ties, and the margin stood at 30 to
IA at half-time. At the end of the
third stanza, the count was 40 to
%.
Jordan, in addition to being the
outstanding player on the floor,
tailed 20 points to lead the even
ing's scoring. For Marysville, Red
Grimes topped the scoring with 13
points, while Gordy Snider dropped
in II. Snider, incidentally, made
good on every one of seven free
throw attemps, an unusual attain
ment during a game.
In the Reserve game, Evans tai
lied II points and Wall, 10, for Ma

3 New Cars to Be
Given Away This
Fall at esiival

There's a feast for car
starved residents of eastern
Washington coming up at the
Grape Festival on October 3,
a and 5.
Through Bill Simmonds of
the S and j Motor company,
Clyde Anderson, chairman of
the festival, has procured
three new 1916 Fords-two 4 doors
and one convertable-to be driven
off the platform by their lucky
winners at the fall celebration.
The first 4 door sedan is sched-
uled for delivery about August Is
and the other two are expected to
arrive not later than September
1, Anderson announced.
Outstanding features Of the tick
ct sales, planned to begin soon, are
that ticket holders will not have
to be present to win a car and
everyone will have three chances
to win. One car will be given away
on each of the festival days and
tickets, minus the lucky number
already drawn, will be kept in the
drawing until the last car is gone.
The tickets will be offered for
one dollar each plus tax, through
out the eastern part Of the state
by sales teams that will visit all
the major towns of the area.
AS soon as the sales organiza-
ton has been completed and the
tickets themselves are on hand,
ticket selling will start, Anderson
says. -
Anderson also called for action
by clubs and organizations in the
Kennewick area to choose and
start preparing their concessions.
Naturally" he points out, "the
more attractive and profitable con-
cessions will go to the groups who
act quickly" ST..
First community group to start
work on a concession are the Camp
Fire Girls, who consulted Chair
man Anderson this week. How
ever, they are not as yet ready to
release details Of their project.
Discussion of the Grape Festival
was CAAIAAuoldSlAS dI IllC lIuISudy
Chamber of Commerce meeting.
The Trade Relations committee
was given the responsibility for
working out the best possible plan
with the Grape Festival committee
for locations and actual conces-
sions. In addition, they will make
a recommendation to the Mer-
chants Association as to the hours
to be observed by business houses
during the celebration.
Council members also discussed
the Cole BrOthers Circus, which
will play in Kennewick on Sum
day, August Is. Mayor j. G. Pratt
explained that Sunday was the on
ly day on which the circus could
be brought to the city. Also, Mayor
Pratt said, the Cole Brothers show
is Of high calibre, providing its
own police force to maintain or
der. The circus activity will not
start until afternoon, the Mayor
said, after Sunday morning church
services have been concluded.

Settled
Suit Goes Phf

Mike Records, leading Demo-

Fourth of July bingo games in the
City park, which Melted $3.50 for
the Athletic club swimming pool
fund.
Jimmy Rector, West End circus
impressario, had turned the gross
profits of his recent. show over to
the fund; and Shirley Dillon, pro-
prietor of Evalyn's Beauty shop,
had fattened it with a 500 con-
tribution that was entirely unso-
licited.
Kennewick, situated in a land
of three major rivers-the Column
bia, the Snake and Yakima, APP
peared to be headed toward reali-
cation of a long-standing dream:
clear, cool purified waters filling
an expertly designed and life
guarded pool for bathers Of all
ages.
Need for the facility had been
made more imperative by the ac-
ton of health authorities in con-
demning as unsafe for swimming
the waters of the Columbia and
the irrigation canal that leads its
waters through the heart of the
city. Closely linked also with its
building was the community
to fence the irrigation
canal through the city as safety
measure.
Officials of the Athletic club
were considering the possibility
that some public funds might be
procured to aid the pool financing.
Manufacturers OF natatorium
equipment were already offering
their merchandise for immediate
installation.
II the grown folks and the little
folks have their way, the muni-
cipal swimming pool won't be q
dream much longer.
