Active Club To
Aid Sofibau

Kennewick Activians unani-
mously endorsed a motion Tues
day night to offer their services; in
the organization and operation of
a softball league for KenneWick
this summer.
The motion specifically exclud-
ed responsibility on the part of
the club for actual field construc-
ton, but expressed willingness
to organize the league and get it
into motion. Discussion of the
subject revealed that Activians
felt that a considerable amount of
the continuing work of the season
could be handled by the Recrea-
ton Commission directors.
A plan is in process to establish
a new ball field on the north
trailer site acquired by the city.
Lights would be moved from the
field used last year to the new
property and the diamond would
be enlarged for hard ball as well
as softball.
The recreation commission Is
studying the plan with the city
council members.

on the fight card at the

and neither of them w e +
found in either of the twin

FREAK KNOCKOUT
The other excitement came In
the form of comic relief, when
AL Gronic of Lincoln Park got
freak knockout over Woody
Woods of Akron, Ohio. Woods,
in a clownish reproduction OF
the Walcott style, looked as
though he might have seen a
