THE PASSING SHOW

Three Finger Brown can tell when his pitching is off color. The Cub veteran started against Cincinnati yesterday but walked out of the box in disgust after the Reds had greet ed him with a shower of basehits.
 AS usual football at Yale proved to be the most profitable sport. The revenue from the gridiron pastime last year was $106,765.52, and base ball came next with s4O,514.56. The expense of maintaining the crew was $25,0O0 and the receipts were $5,5OO. r Although he is a poor fielder, Gau- dette of the Bridgeport club is moving along nicely as a hitter. He got three blows from Daniels of Spring field yesterday and also drew a pass.
 Red Whalen, the farm hand from NIobile,0 is the best fielding Shortstop the Bridgeport club has. had on the job this seaeson. He didn't get hit in the first two games but has been able to connect with the ball on al most every occasion.
 The only consolation about Bridge port being in last place is that Hart ford and New Haven are not much better. The locals are only five points behind Hartford and two games in the rear of New Haven.
 That home run over the left field fence at Newfield park made by Low of Springfield yesterday was the talk of local fandom 1ase night. Dorey Miller, the old Bridgeport third base man. was the last man to put one over the barrier. He did it about eight years ago. The only other play CT to top the pa1ing was. Frank Woodruff, an old time Holyoke slug ger. Low of Springfield, is a young college man. He was declared in eligible at Dartm outh last season be- cause he signed with tke Boston Ma tionals. They thought he was too in experienced to use at present.

TRADE PAPER POINTS
OUT BAD HABITS
(From the Packer)

The Packer is of the opinion that the
policy OF peddling fruits and produce
from car doors. followed by some apple
growers, is not only extremely bad
ethics but that it is also a mighty
short sighted policy from a business
standpoint. The grower who will sell
his high grade fruit to a jobber in a
given town, and then ship a car of low
grade stuff to the same market and
sell ii to the consumer or retail dealer
in direct competition with the same
lobber. is afflicted with a narrow busi-
ness instinct and fails to see the mat
ter in the light of his own best inter-
est.
IL there are those who think this
practice of peddling from the car is
right and just he should apply re-
verse process of reasoning by asking
himself how he would like it If he were
the jobber and had to face this kind of
competition? The Packer is convinced
that there are few growers who now
sell their low grade fruit in this man.
ner. who would not feel that they had
been badly treated under such condi-
tions, for human nature is the same
the world over.
1t seems TO be correct reasoning that
the grower has a right to sell his ap-
Piles where he pleases. If he goes to
the consumer direct that is his privil.
ege but in doing so he is very apt to
find himself in i'll repute with the job
bing and commission trade and he
ought not to be greatly surprised if
the men in these regular established
channels of maketing should refuse to
buy or handle his goods. The trade
seems to entertain the opinion that a
grower who first sells to a jobber and
then goes out and tries to sell all he
can to the same jobber's customers is
possessed of bad business manners and
that he should not be offended or he is
boycotted by those dealers whom he
thus treats.
The contention is that those who
wish to eliminate the middleman should
not try to carry water on both shoul-
ders, but should cut off keeping. COM
pany with middiemen and go entirely
to the consumer for a market for all
products. No one can find fault with
the producer if he conclude that his
best interest lies in this direction bat
it is contended, and the contention is
based upon very sound logic. that it is
not reasonab BILE to expect friendly at
titude from the jobber whom the pro.
ducer first loads up and then goes out
and tries to also fill up the consumptive
demand upon which the jobber is de-
pendent.
But the question of whether il is not
better business policy to sell through
the established channels of trade is
even more vital to the grower than the
matter of right ethics. 1t would seem
that il experience is of any value then
there can be no doubt as to what the
grower should do. Scores of market.
ing schemes have been tried out, some
of them so fragrant and rich in theory
that they attracted the attention of the
brightest growers in the country, and
yet the final analysis has shown that
nothing has been offered to take the
place of the time worn system in vogue
to-day throughout the country.

APPLE NOTES


The death of Richard F. Kelly.
known to the apple world as Dick
Kelly, a member of the firm of Stein
hardt & Kelly, occurred at the home of
the deceased at Montclair, N. j.. on
Wednesday of last week. About eight
yaers ago Mr.. Kelly broke one of his
legs. While the limb had given him
great deal of trouble, he had apparent
Iy recovered. Several weeks ago,
while hurrying to catch a boat, Mr..
Kelly slipped and broke his other leg.
The accident occurred on the 23rd ami
versary of Mr.. kelly's marriage and
he was hurrying home to celebrate the
event with his family.
Mr.. Kelly and his family were in the
northwestern fruit sections last fall on
a pleasure trip. They visited Hood
River.
News of the death of Mr.. Kelly has
caused expressions of genuine sorrow
among the fruit growers and market
men of Hood River. Resolutions of
respect have been adopted by the Ap
pie Growers Association, and a letter
of coincidence has been written by Will
mer Sieg to Mrs. Kelly.
The story of how Dick Kelly. and his
partner, Joe Steinhardt, became &C.
quainted, and its authenticity is
vouched for by those who knew their
early history, is an interesting one
Both began the fruit business as
street-side peddlers. Their competi-
ton began to worry both. Finally
they fought. The fight, brought about
by claims to the housewives trade in
the district of New York in which they
operated, was a draw. Then they
formed the partnership that has grown
TO such dimensions that last year they
are said to have paid more than ST.
600. 600 for boxed apples alone.
The Libby, Mcneil & Libby Co.,
which last year erected huge cannery
at The Dales, has inaugurated cam
paign to assist the growers of the Mid
Columbia district in selecting varieties
for planting new orchards. The can
merry company has employed field
man to assist the different communities
and confer with prospective orchard
lists.
S. H. Boddinghouse, horticulturist of
the White Salmon Valley district of
Klickitat county, Washington, is opti-
mistic over the output of that district
the coming year. Mr.. clearinghouse
estimates the apple crop of 1916 at
approximately $4,000 boxes; pears,
rs, 600 boxes. The production of fruit
last year was as follows: Strawber
ries, $4,000 crates; cherries. 80, 900
pounds; peaches, 5000 boxes; toma-
toes, rs, 900 boxes; pears, 2, 500 boxes.
The strawberry crop of this season
will be slightly increased because of an
increased bearing acreage.
A boys Strawberry club has been
organized to stimulate an interest in
berry production. Mr., clearinghouse
says the acreage of berries should be
doubled.
Last summer japanese gardeners at
White Salmon shipped a carload of
tomatoes daily, during the summer
season until the price went to smash.
Tons of tomatoes rotted on the vines.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By Mark Moe)

Last Friday morning an assembly
was held and the basketball team was
given a royal send off. The names of
the following players were called to go
to Stevenson that afternoon: Capt.
johnson, Laffetty, Sosey, Spaulding,
Breed, Nickelsen and Hale. They
crossed the river on the Underwood
ferry and caught the O'Clock train
there, which reached Stevenson about
an hour later.
The game started off with Breed in
at center, Spaulding and Nlckelsen
forwards, with johnson and Latferty
guards. At the end of the first half
the score stood IA to 10 in favor of
Stevenson. At the beginning of the
second half Sosey replaced Breed at
center, and Hale took Spaulding S
place at forward. But somehow, this
combination of hoop tossers failed to
annex many more points for the blue
and white. Somehow it seemed as
though those Detwilei's pets had
learned to bounce the ball against the
ceiling and make it 60 into tue basket.
One time in fact, one of the Stevenson
forwards dribbled the ball so hard that
it bounced up into the basket. Such
playing is enough to dishearten any
scientific team, as the locals are. Well.
sad to relate, the game ended with the
healthy part of the score on the Wash
ingtonian's side of the board. They
had 80 to Hood Rivers IL.
In the game Saturday night at the
same place the same system was fol-
lowed by both teams, although the
local sphere tossers came little near
er that practically unattainable goal
known as perfection, in shooting bas-
kets. The score of the second game
was 1925 in Stevenson's favor.
Last Friday White Salmon played
The Dalles and lost to them, 44-37.
This means that The Dalles has practl-
cslly secured the pennant. by compara-
tive scores. They beat White Salmon
and Goldendale beat Stevenson But
we should soliloquize, for remember
that Stevenson beat White Salmon and
White Salmon won from GoIdendsle.
So, no team will have smooth sailing
along the Potomac.
Tomorrow and Saturday Hood River
plays The Dalles up there. This is
liable to be a memorable event as was
the baseball game with them last year.
After they had won the pennant the
local boys were up in arms, and prob
ably due to the old time spirit that
baseball game was won. 1t all re.
mains to be seen.
