NehiIIars Get a Shut Ont.

The Schiller nine reversed their de-
feat Of two weeks ago and shut out Hood
River last Sunday. The locals are up
against it, that's all. The visitors had
strengthened their team with a majori-
ty of the Columbia university players, the
team that had won several times against
the Multnomah boys OF Portland.
Hood River did some good work, but
it failed to count at the critical moments.
One or two double plays were well exc
cuted. Charley Morse came In for a
hit or two. He reached first on safe
one. The grand stand cheered at this
but hardly had the applause died out
before Hood Rivers third baseman
slipped up in an attempt to steal second.
II was a good attempt but the best OF
chances sometimes fail.
Sheets did some good work In the sec.
ond half OF the eighth.
Thorp was O new man in fhe pitchers
box. This is not his position, but the lad
did his best and played well.
John Leland Henderson tried to GIN
ger up the boys, but it was no use. The
visitors had things their way. Their
playing was just enough better than
the locals to shut us out. a
Moore in the pitchers box for the
Schillers was good man. The locals
pounded him once in a while, though
not often. The visitors put up almost
an errorless game.

FRUIT UNIONS
Will UNITE

The Hood River Apple Growers
union will amalgamate with the Hood
River Fruit Growers union. This was
the decision reached at meeting of the
board of directors of the Apple union
Saturday morning. A meeting OF the
stockholders of the two organizations is
called for Saturday, July 16, when the
action of the directors will be ratified
by the members Of both unions.
The union Of the two organizations is
in the interest of economy in shipping
the Hood River fruits. Heretofore, the
Fruit Growers union handled nothing
but Strawberries. 1t has been in active
operation for Is years. 1t was possibly
the original intention of the incorpor-
ators of the union to handle all the fruit
of the valley, but the apple business
was of little importance until year or
two ago, when the apple growers thought
they needed separate union, and Or
ganized the Apple Growers union last
summer.
Under the consolidation of the two
unions, but one manager will have to
be employed; and the business will per-
NIT of good salary for a competent
man who will be expected to give his
full attention to the work. 1t will also
do away with separate warehouses,
office furniture and supplies, all of
which amount to neat sum in the
course Of year.
The amalgamation Of the two shipping
agencies has been talked of for some
time, and at the annual meeting of the
Apple union last February, recon.

Indians Defeat the Locals.

Hard luck will come in the best Of
games, but the adverse decision in the
seventh inning was particularly heart
breaking. With two men out, Teabo
for the visitors made dash for second.
Hart tapped him with the ball before
he reached the sack, and the grand
stand cheered. But the umpire saw
differently and the runner was declared
safe.
The whole performance seemed to
break the home team all up. Poland
was next at the bat and hit TO the field
was muffed. This let Teabo to third.
Casey went to bat and lifted q grounder
toward Charley Morse who let it slip,
The Indians scored. With more errors
by the locals the Siwashes got there
twice more.
This was the seventh inning. Hardly
a runner before this had gone to first
The infield work was fine, and thing,
we're proceeding like clockwork. A
prettier game is seldom seen. The In
dians were putting up stiff game, but
their playing was no better than that OF
the locals. 1t was indeed a gladstone
occasion. Time and again the scoreboy
in the corner of the yard chalked up
good, round goose eggs. And then to
think that with two men down the In
dians should gain three runs, 1t was
awful. Nobody expected the locals to
recover, though goodness knows the boys
tried hard enough. Johnnie Castner
would swat the sphere with vengence
in a mad effort to get liner over the
fence.
Someone wagered the locals could not
score run. They didn't until the
second half of the ninth. Hart landed
on Poland for safe one to the outer
field, that netted him two bases. With
Slavin at the bat the little relocated
player crossed the slab for Hood Rivers
solitary score. For while it was
thought that Hart had met the fate of
the others. In attempting to get to
third on blocked ball he was rushed
out. The fine points OF the rule book
came to mind and the runner was left
on second base.
Dakin's score book showed the follow
