FARM LABOR SHORTAGE
Growers in Sussex County, Delaware,
Seriously Embarrassed.

GEORGETOWN. Del. July 12-
With reports of the slackness Of work
in the big cities, farmers in Sussex
County are sending out a demand for
labor that thus far has met with little
response. Il will mean a heavy loss
to farmers If their crops cannot be
harvested properly. Offers Of $50 and
S25 a month with board have few
takers and city men remain but two
or three days. Seeding devices and
riding machines have been purchased
in large number this year in the hope
Of saving labor, but even this has
not filled the need for men.
Growers Of tomatoes and even can
ners are facing a serious shortage of
help. Because Of the prevailing pre-
judice against Italian labor. an effort
has been made to hire only Amer
leans. but most of the farmers have
declared that they intend bringing in
small colonies Of Italians unless
other help arrives soon.

CUBS BEAT WHITE S0x
Poor Fielding and Batting Rally De-
feated 'Jim'' Scott.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-Bert HUMPHREYS bril-
liant pitching and a terrific onslaught on
Jim SCOTS offerings in the sixth and
seventh gave the Chicago Nationals the
lead in the city championship series Fri
day. the third game going to the West
siders. The American Leaguers were help
less before HUMPHREYS battling curves
and made only four hits, only one of
which was entirely free from the stigma
of a scratch Only two of the South
siders got far as second base and not
any beyond that point, while the Cub
pitcher had seven StrikeoutS to his credit,
Bodie and Schalk twice being victims.
Poor fielding helped in the undoing
of Scott and the general route of the
White SoX. A wild throw by Collins was
sandwiched among hits by Evers, Schultz,
Safer and Good in the sixth and the
combination netted three runs. With one
out in the seventh, another series of hits
with errors by Bodie and Weaver added
five to the total. There was one out
when Leach began the attack in the
seventh with a double into the crowd.
Evers walked and Schultz slammed a
single to right Leach scoring. thinner
man beat out bunt, scoring Evers and
after Safer had struck out Good shot
safe drive to right. Schultz counted on
the hit, but Bodie made a mess of re-
trieving the ball, and Zimmerman sped
over the plate, Good going to second.
Weaver fumbled BridwelTs grounder and
Good scored. Score
