Hood River, Or., Bept. Sl In view
of the fact that a- number of old apT
pis packers of Hood .River are expect
ing to spend the fruit season in Yak
ima and Wenatchee, where. It la re
ported, the prices for packing are
higher than in Hood River, this val
ley may be face to face with a short
age of apple packers this season.
Apple packers in Hood River are
not satisfied with the proposed prices
and stats that It is worth Vi cents
per box to pack from a grader and
6V4 cents per box to pack from a table
where the packers must do their own
sorting. Experienced packers state
that while some packers have a record
of 100 boles per day, the average
packer will do well to pack from CO to
70 boxes per day.
It Is also reported that it is ex
pected to keep the price of apple pick
ing down to 20 cents per hour and it is
stated that pickers will contend for 25
cents per hour.

Captain of Police
Let Out at Aberdeen
Alleged BegUgenos In Enforcing Liquor
raw Causes Chief Schmidt to Dis
miss Captain Book.
" Aberdeen, - Wash.," Sept." 21.-1 Because
of alleged negligence in enforcing tht
dry law. Captain of Police Hook for
eight years a member of the police
force, was dismissed yesterday by
Chief Schmidt with the sanction of
Mayor Phillips. Hook refused to re
sign after a conference and' Was discharged.
That Europe's little fight Is not the
aiiIt relic of the barbario ages in
vogue today was demonstrated yester
day afternoon at Reed college, when
ths Jousting matches of old were re
vived in a slightly changed form. The
point was much the same as it used to
be, but it was not done so pointedly;
that is, the points of the lances were
blunted by large wads of rags.
The occasion was tne rirst annual
water carnival, held on the lake on the
college campus, and the revised edition
of jousting was a canoe tilting con
test. The knights of the afternoon
were armored in bathing suits. The
worked in pairs, one knight shoving
the wobbly steed or, rather, the canoe
while the other handled the revised
lance.
Only two pairs of knights were al
lowed on the field at the same time,
and these were at opposite ends. When
King Arthur or, rather, Professor
Harry B. Torrey-'-blew his horn (that
is revolver), the steeds wobbled to
w ard each other for the fray, a knight
standing on the neck or prow of each
and armed with the lance. Bach poked
the other, with the result that one of
them got damp as he sat on the Held.
An element of humor was Introduced
into the occasion when Sir John Dam
bach did not play according to Hoyle.
Instead of using his lance to shove the
other knight . into the middle of next
week, as the book says. Sir John
shoved the nose of the steed, and Sir
Wilson, his rival, took a premature
drink. When they tried it over, how
ever. Sir Wilson avenged the insult by
spilling both Sir Daxnbach and his
squire, Russel Frost.
Ray Wilson and his squire, John
Van Etten. took the queen's Jewels for
the day. winning all of three Jousts.
The ladies also took part in the fes
tivities of ths day. Miss Lenore Mac
Oregor won from Miss Dorothy Elliott
in fancy diving, and, also took the
fancy swimming contest. In which Miss
Ruth Anderson was second. In their
25 yard dash Miss Anderson finished
first. Miss MacQregor second and Miss
Oretchen Smith third. Thera were
five other entries in this, Misses Orace
Hays. Dorothy Elliott. Eloulse White,
Margaret Voorhlea and Louise CaswelL

New York, ept L (U. P.) Nerve
and fighting spirit has carried the
Boston Red SOx, champions of the
baseball world, out of danger for the
moment In the American league race.
By their gritty feat of winning two
games in a row from ths Tigers and
eliminating the Detroit menace from
a chance for first place honors, the
champions are now two full games
ahead of the field and going strong.
In the meantime the National
league's merry trl-cornered whirl tor
the pennant grew tighter, through the
feat of Al Demaree in winning two
contests in a single day for the Phil
lies. The latter club is now in a fair way
to challenge the claim of the Dodgers
to otfrrership of this year's Tener pen
nant Bengals Slip Into Third.
The Red Sox performed quite a lit
tle stunt when they pulled the blocks
from under the Tigers in the second
game of their series yesterday. The
skids were so well greased that the
Tigers didn't end their slide until
they had landed in third place and
where they now are planted half a
game behind the White Sox, who were
mauling the Athletics while the Red
Sox were smashing the Tigers' defense.
ir tne .Red Sox are now unseated
from the pinnacle position the club
that upsets them la entitled to all
the honors it can get. The champions
pounded out a victory over the Tigers
yesterday after they .had got away to
a poor start Three runs were staring
hem in the face before they fairly
realized what was happening, but they
had the nerve and they won.
Only Bumps Vow Worry.
The Tigers may win the game still
left in the series, but it doesn't mat
ter a great deal. The Red Sox stiil
will be in first place and will open
in Cleveland in that position. After
the Cleveland series they will go horni
and then Jack Barry probably will be
back in the line-up. The chance seems
to have-slipped out of Detroit's grasp.
Only a remarkable recovery by the
Tigers and a series of bumps for the
Red Sox can- prevent Bill Carrigan
again leading his charges to a world's
series.
The Dodgers find themselves chal
lenged by the pestering Phillies again
today. The Phillies are now only a
game and a half in the rear. The
Braves slipped when they were steDDed
on with humiliating force by the last 1
place Keds.
Today the Cardinals and Dodgers
again will meet, and the Phillies are
carded for another session with the
Plratea. The Braves must meet those
presuming Reds again and win to
keep within hailing distance.
