Prosser Sunday Tryout Builds Kennewick Ball Team
Kennewick plans a strong season with a new ball club after practice sessions and a Sunday tryout against Prosser. The project needs about 150 dollars, funded by a big benefit dance next week, plus funds for new uniforms and grandstand repairs. If money allows, the grounds may get clay and Larkin and Howe may stay on as the battery to lead an amateur squad in this section. Prosser beat LaCee 2 to 1 last Sunday, offering a measure of the team’s calibre.
