STATE LAWS KEEP
IDAHO APPLES OUT
EASTERN MARKETS
Five Hundred Cars of Scaly and
Wormy Apples Must Remain
in State-Meeting at Fruit
land.

Although arrangements had been
completed with horticultural officials
Of Wisconsin and New York for the
shipment of Idaho apples of inferior
grades, such as wormy or scaly crops,
to the those states for use in manu-
featuring by-products, the laws Of the
state will not permit such shipments,
Attorney General Roy L. Black holds
in an opinion issued today at the re-
quest Of Miles Cannon, state agricul-
tural commissioner.
This means that the entire crop of
about 500 cars of such apples must be
used within the state. as the state law
expressly provides such aples may be
used for manufacturing by-products
only within the state.
DISPUTE OVER OUTPUT.
Growers of the apples contend the
Idaho by-products manufacturers are
unable to handle the crop. The manu-
facturers on the other hand, declare
they can handle the crop.
An effort will be made to get to-
gether on the price for the apples at
a meeting of manufacturers and grow
ers at Fruitland Saturday evening. The
manufacturers are offering So to $40
per ton, which the growers declare Is
not enough.
The fact that the apples can not be
sold without the state Is said to have
borne the price down.

GAME today TO
SHOW ABILITY
OF CINCINNATI
Crucial Third Clash Comes on
Enemy SoiI-Winning by
Reds May Meean Straight
Series.
BY JOHNNY EVERS.

Chicago, Oct 3-The Reds are on
enemy territory today and they are
going to have to prove just how good
and how game a ball club they are.
They have played like real champions
in their two victorious games at home
and / expect to see them go clear
through the series without faltering.
Slim Sallee pitched just as he has
all season, and turned In exactly the
sort of game one would expect from
a veteran of his class. He Is the man
who is directly responsible for the
Reds second victory. He was hit
hard, and he was willing to be. He
pitched with his head as well as his
foxy old left arm, and never extended
himself only when necessary. Then
he was steady as a rock. He was
master of the game every minute and
he won under wraps. The SoN don't
like left-hand pitching Of the Reuther
and Sallee brand.
RED HEROES.
Eddie Rousch, with one Of the most
wonderful catches ever made in a
worlds series and Larry Kopf with his
triple in the fourth that won the game
for the Reds We're the other big men
of the Reds for the day.
Kopfs fine hit provided the break of
the game. 1t broke Williams defense
and the game was as good as over the
minute Larry hit the ball. Groh and
Duncan were on the bases and two
men were out. 1t was the critical mo-
ment of the game. kopf delivered, two
runs came across and the Sox was
beaten.
Claude Williams was very wild and
unsteady. If a pitcher doesn't get
them over, the other club doesn't have
TO hit. They can win without hitting.
That happened yesterday. Enough
said.
BEAT SEASONS PLAY.
In the first two games the Reds
have even surpassed their regular sea-
son play. They are confident and ag-
gressive. They have been much I'M
der-rated team who knows but what
/ have said may come true, and the
series end in straight games? that is
almost too much to expect from any
club, but the Reds have been doing
4 lust such things all season.
Fisher and Rariden probably will be
the Cincinnati battery today. Fisher
has been pitching wonderful ball and
has won his last eight games. He has
pitched against the Sox in the Ameri-
can League and knows them. He
should prove almost as effective
against them as Reuther and Sallee
Kerr probably will pitch for the
Sox He Is a wonderful little work :
man, but he is going up against big
odds. Game as he is, he will find the
Reds bad club to tamper with.

THE LEAGUE IN
MILITARY Way
Secretary of War Says With
League in Operation U. S.
Can Speedily Diminish the
Size of Army.
Capital News Special Service

N~apit"i A~cNS fopeCidi SeTNlCo.)
Washington. Oct. 3.-Secretary Of
War Baker has authorized the Wash
ington Bureau Of the League to En-
force Peace to publish the following
statement of his views regarding the
effect of the league Of nations on the
military policy of the United States:
Il believe that If the league of ma
tons Is approved and goes into opera
ton, 1t will be easily possible for us
speedily to diminish the size of our own
military establishment; decrease the
size Of the army and stop spending
money, in part at least, for these great
military OUTLAWS. Enough force would
be apportioned by agreement among
the nations of the world to keep the
civilized world safe from aggression
by barbarans. But If this league does
not go through who can foresee the
extent of the armament which every
great nation will have to undertake
Personally, 1 believe that we would
go back into the condition which OBJ
tained in Europe at the time this war
was declared. We will have to go way
beyond what Germany and France did
in those days. We will have to arm
to the teeth, because the failure of
this institution as a means of justice
among nations will necessitate each
nation being armed strongly enough
to keep itself protected from any COM
bination of aggressors which may be
formed against it."

shall not be represented on European
boundary commissions or other bodies
set up to carry out treaty provisions.
II for any reason congress thinks this
| country should not be represented, and
is to provide for American withdrawal
from membership on any such commits

! A check Is to be placed upon the acts
Of American members of such commits
sions, so their votes will be subjected
to "vize" by congress. All such Ameri-
can representatives must be approved
| by the senate before entering upon
their duties, If the broadened reserva-
ton plan is accepted.
This program has now for the first
| time become public its supporters said.
| Falls amendments were oyerwhelm-
ingly defeated yesterday. But upon the
first roll CALI thirty senators voted for
the amendment with four absent, who
may have supported it.
Senator Lodge, a Republican leader,
said the vote delighted him. and
added:
1T showed that we have one vote
more than the thirty-th required to
reject the treaty unless 1t is made safe
by the adoption Of strong reservations
Administration leaders took a. differ
emit view.
MAJORITY OPPOSES.
1.-THE voting proves" said Senator
Hitchcock, that the big ajority of
the senate is heartily opposed to the
efforts of a belligerent partisan minor
ity to destroy the treaty. All our
forecasts concerning the defeat of
amendments by overwhelming majori-
ties were borne and the voting should
leave no doubt in any ones mind that
all other amendments will be as de-
cisively rejected. 1t was clean cut
victory"
The next amendment to be reported
will be that on Shantung which is six
amendments in one.
Following that another Fall amend
ment, that relating to the action of the
American reparations commission will
come up. Senate leaders said they be-
I lieve a vote may be reached on Shan
tung late next week.
Senators who analyzed yesterdays
votes in Fall proposals found that the
vote upon the first amendment of the
series of thirty-six eliminating the
United States from membership on the
Belgian boundary commission, gave the
best indication of how the senate
stands. On that amendment So voted
no, of whom forty-one were Democrats
and II Republicans and thirty voted
aye, 20 being Republicans and one
Gore, Oklahoma, Democrat; Reed,
Johnson, California; Page and Suther-
/, land were all paired in favor of the
amendment, while four other absentees
Martin. Virginia; Smith. South Caro-
lima; Johnson, South Carolina, and
King We're against it. Had they been
present the vote probably would have
stood "a for the amendment and 62
against it. F'ow changes occurred on
