Kennewick Has
Five Tea m s 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 Softball
League was passed on May 15th,
and when reports were made to the
managing committee on the evening
of that day twelve teams were found
to be entered. Another team has
contacted the commitee, but was
not definitely entered. The dead
line was therefore set ahead until
six o’clock Monday evening, May
20th. Up to this time two more
teams may enter to make up the
limit of 14 teams. _
or the twelve teams now enter
ed, five are from Kennewick and
seven from Pasco. The opening
night will be Monday, June 3 in
Pasco and Wednesday, June 5 in
Kennewick. Special features are
being planned for opening night,
which include a parade of all teams
and a drill by the Pasco drum and
bugle corps.
It was original-1y 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 its own division.
Kennewick Teams
I Kennewick teams which have
'been entered are: Kennewick Cubs,
iConoco 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
Rigerview, who have no sponsor as
ye .
The softball project is being spon
sored by the Kiwanis Club of Ken
newick and the Active (hub 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, u.
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 Kiwanis
Club, and Charles Spears is in
charge of arrangements for the
playing field.
Milo Candee. of Pasco, will use his
sound equipment to describe each
game. both in Kennewick and Pasco.
and he will also advertise the games
with the sound car. It is planned
to have one night of play in Ken-i
newick each week and two nights in ‘
Pasco. However if the number on
teams gets to be 14 instead of 12:
there will be an extra night of play
in Kennewick every other week.

KENNEWICK, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1940.
Improvements on
New Golf Course
Progress Rapidly
Many golfers enjoy play
on course; committees
appointed for Operation
and activities
Considerable ‘interest is being
developed in golf circles. The open
ing day of the course was wintery
and blustery and was anything but
ideal for an opening day. Last
Sunday, however, was an ideal day
and the course was full of players
who were becoming accustomed to
the course and had an enjoyable
time. Considerable improvement
was made in the course during the
intervening week and many favor
able comments were heard regard
ing the improvement.
A mowing machine has been pur
chased for cutting the high grass
around the rough. This will be rak
ed and burned as soon as possible.
This is being done to reduce the
hazards of the rough and make it
a little easier for those players
whose ball gets off the fairway.
Considerable attention is being giv
en to the grounds and improvement
is expected to continue through-out
the summer.
Committees are being appointed
to look after the various phases of
the operation of the Course. A Wo
lmen’s Committee consisting of Mrs.
Paul Spreen, chairman, Mrs. Chas.
May, Mrs. E. C. Steel and Mrs. Har
ry Linn has been appointed to look
after the women’s interest while the
tournament committee consisting of
Dr. Stone, chairman, Johnny Heat
er and Olav Otheim will look after
the tournaments. The Handicap
committee of which James Bockius
is chairman, has not been complet
ed, but will be organized and be
functioning in the very near future.
The keeper is expected to move into
the house the latter part of the
week and things are progressing very
satisfactorily. There are many
things yet to be done, but since the
course has been opened much en
thusiasm has started and this will
gain impetus as time goes on. Every
thing points to the development or
an excellent and very interesting
course and with p roper organiza
tion it is expected that much pleas
ure will be derived from it. During
the first week of play 198 persons
played the course.
Until further notice the green fees
will not be increased during the
week-ends, but the regular week
day rates will prevail.

RED CROSS CALL
We have just received the fol
lowing telegram from National
Red Cross headquarters:
“With the invasion of Holland,
Belgium and: Luxembourg, the
war has entered a phase which
will inevitably and at once bring
widespread and appalling suffer
ing to millions of helpless men,
women and children. In order to
inaugurate widespread relief mea
sures the Red Cross is at once
launching a campaign for a mini
mum war relief fund of ten mil
ion dollars. Your chapter quota
is $6.000. Please at once moboliae
the entire leadership of your
chapter and community in order
that your quota may be raised and
exceeded without delay. Chap

war relief expenses. Letter of in
struction follows.”

Peters. Mrs. T. C. Browne and
Mrs. Harry Linn. have been asked
to direct the collection of war re
lief funds from this district.
Fire Chief Warns
About Local Fires
The fire drill Thursday night and
the fire at the school house Friday
night gave a chance to check on
traffic according to fire chief Car
rol Pratt. He states that the fire
department does not want accidents.
but they came very close to one
Friday night while enroute to the
school fire. The fire boys are in
structed to keep the truck under
control at all times and to arrive
at the fire right side up.
Chief Pratt also states that they
have no paid firemen at the station
on duty all the time as they do .11
larger cities. We must depend en
tirely on Volunteer firemen and if
they are at work they must use their
cars to reach the fire.
Upon hearing the fire siren, it
the citizens immediately go to the
fire they are slowing up the truck’s
arrival and the fire boys as well.
The violation of the city ordi
nance covering traffic regulations
during a fire call may mean a court
summons. The firemen are urging
that Kennewick citizens cooperate
with them by clearing the streets
and by doing this each will be do
ing his part to cut down the fire loss
of the city.
