grower today has To expend from $12
to $15 per ton To produce his fruit,
whereas the price offered by the
Gamers range from 50 to $11 per ton
for frst-gTade pineapples and one
half these prices for secOnd-grade
products. As result the small
grower is now seeking a market for
his fresh fruit in the United States.
However, the business of shipping can
hardly be carried on satisfactorily
without organization and it is to help
out in this connection that the new
division has been organized. accord

II Is also suggested in the report
that better arrangements could be
made If there were "a branch of the
marketing division in San Francisco,
which should act as a central office
for fresh pineapple shipments This
Office could undoubtedly prevent the
succession Of bare and flooded mar
kets which has characterized the pre-

The same Office could also do vail

YALE STANDS BY
ATHLETIC POLICY

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Oct. 19-The
Yale University baseball team. at a
meeting today. decided to postpone in
definitely the election OF a successor
TO Captain Milburn. who with four 9TH
er players have been disqualified for
violating the Yale eligibility rule con-
corning the playing OF Summer base
ball"
No explanation OF the action was
made public. Milburn and the other
players promised to aid in coaching
the Varsity nine this spring.
The disqualification of the players
has caused one OF the greatest sensa-
tons in years at Yale. There were
many rumors tonight that other play
ers would be declared ineligible, but
nothing could be learned from official
sources. Press dispatches from Cam
bridge today indicating that Harvard
would be willing TO waive the inter.
collegiate agreement, owing to the
technical violation, were read with in
terest II was stated. however. that
Yale. having taken It's stand, would
not change its policy.
II was learned on good authority
that the five players virtually re
ceived permission to play summer
baseball from one OF more members
OF the Yale baseball committee.
Legore the football star. who is one
of those disqualified. said tonight he
had received offers TO play profess
sional baseball but would complete
bis college course.

ner is TO be given first choice in the
Yale game az center.
The varsity had lots OF ginger to-
day and using a varied attack swept
the second eleven along the field with
an irresistible attack. Both forward
passes. end runs and line plunges were
used TO advantage. the first eleven
scoring four touchdowns. The scrubs
once got the ball on a tumble and

but was downed before he got near
