Chicago Colt Placed as
'Standout Choice for

STEPS WELL IN TRIAL

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 15.-Eyes
of turfmen, railbirds and other fol-
lowers of the sport of kings" pour
ing into this city for the annual
running of the Kentucky Derby
Saturday today we're turned to
Reigh Count. the "standout IA
vorite" who hour by hour is be-
coming a popular choice to take the
honors in the greatest American
horse race of the year.
Although there are many citing
the records as showing few "fa-
voriteS" as winners of the Derby,
many more are ready to bet their
bottom dollar on the big, handsome
chestnut son of Sun Reign Coun-
tessa to win the Blue Grass fea-
ture.
BY Three Lengths
Reigh Count, owned by Mrs.
Hertz, the Chicago sportsWoman,
routed most of his formidable west
ern rivals Monday when he made
his first start OF the year in the
Mammoth Cave Handicap, coming
home a winner by three lengths
over Lawley.
Colonel Shaw was third by a
neck. Trailing far behind were Jack
Higgins, Golden Racket and Dodg-
son. Chick Lang had the leg up on
the winner.
The race was at mile and a
sixteenth. Dodgson made the pace
for three-quarters of a mile. AT the
start of the turn into the home
stretch Jockey Lang urged the
Chicago horse onward.
Goes Into Lead
In a few strides the son of Sun
Reigh was two lengths in the lead
and going at a good gait. Lawley
made dying bid to catch up with
the flying chestnut, but Lang gave
Reigh Count single crack with the
whip and the race was as good as
over as Mrs. Hertz's colt shot ahead
with added speed.
He was galloping at the wire and
was worked on out for the Derby
distance. He went it alone and the
big crowd cheered as he turned in
the mile and a quarter in 2:05 2-5,
faster than many Derby winners
have negotiated the distance. The
Derby record, established by Old
Rosebud in 1914, stands at 2:03 3-5.
Twenty May Start
Derby officials today believed
twenty horses will answer the bugle
call Saturday. They are listed as
Reign Count, Misstep, Reign Olga.

Faster Pace

Ruth Blasting Homers
Ahead of Record Year;
Already Has Nine.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff CnrreSnnndent


NEW YORK, May 15.-Babe Ruth
Is of to flying start in quest of
a new home run record.
Hitting his ninth home run of
the season Monday off Elam Van
Glider of the Tigers, Ruth today
was three days and two games
ahead of his 1927 record. The
Bambino did not hit No, last
year until his twenty game
against Detroit on May II.
He's Going Strong
When the Bambino hung up his
record of sixty home runs last sea-
son, the baseball world agreed that
it would stand for many years and
might never be shattered under
the same existing conditions. Yet
here the Babe comes back the very
next season swinging along at a
faster clip than his record reaking
pace of a year ago.
Babes "Big Bertha" has found
the range early and is exploding
home runs with macnine-gun
regularity. Ruth did lot get his
first home run this season until
the second game of double header
at Boston, April 10. Several other
Sluggers, including Joe Hauser Of
the Athletics, stole a march on the
Babe, but it did not take him long
to catch up.
Gehrig Behind Schedule"
Lou Gehrig, Babes teammate and
friendly rival, is running behind his
1927 home run schedule. Gehrig hit
his seventh homer on May Z last
year and his eighth on May 10.
+ Thus far Gehrig has hit only five
home runs.
Not only has Ruth been hitting
home runs faster than ever before
this season, but he has been play
ing some Of the best ball of his ca
reer. He leads both leagues in runs
scored, with thirty-one, and boasts
a batting average of 1857. The fig
ures of Ruth follow:

INDIANS 10 vofE

A new element will be participated
in the political campaign in this state.
this year. Under an act of congress
passed some years ago all native born
Indians were given the. elective fran
chise. This law was so new four years
ego that relatively few. native born
took advantage of it. It is said the
registration books show 50 far Wash
ington Indians have not indicated
their intention to vote. However,
the registration books are open now
and will be open until October 16
and it is considered likely before that
time many Of them will have pre-
pared to take advantage of their new
rights. According to the census of
1920 Washington had an Indian popu-
lation of about 5000 &c against about
100000 in the entire United States.
Under the old law the franchise
was denied Indians not taxed. For
many years there has been quite a
considerable number of native born
voters of Chinese parentage and as
time goes on there are constantly
increasing number of Japanese who
are entitled to vote because of being
born in this country. This is despite
the fact that alien born Of the oriental
races are specifically barred from
citizenship.

APPLE HARVEST HERE
OVER FOR SEASON

This week saw the last of the ap-
pie harvest for the season. There may
be few orchards next Monday where
there are some apples still on the
trees but they will be pretty scat
tering.
The wind the first ten days of Oc-
tober shook some of the Winesaps
from the trees and the light freeze
Friday night of last week made them
lot easier to pick this week.
About two weeks ago it was found
that the Wines were not sticking
quite as tightly to the spurs as the
Romes and the picking crews switch
ed later to the former in some of the
orchards that had both varieties. The
Romes left have taken on some size
and a wonderful color and the grow
ers are getting nice packout of the
Romes picked last.
In the Yakima and Wenatchee dis
tricts, always two or three weeks
later than this valley in the picking
Of the different varieties, the apples
are dropping badly, it is reported,
and there is quite scramble to get
pickers to save as much as possible of
the crop.
Although the apple harvest is
over there are still lots of them
to be packed, the warehouses esti-
mating that will take them all of Oc-
tober and most of November before
the last box is lidded.

HARMONIOUS MEETING

An interesting, instructive and har-
monious meeting was the word
brought back by D. S. Wilkinson,
Fred Gilhu1y and Sam Allard, who
attended as delegates from this dis
trict, the State Good Roads associa-
ton meeting in Walla Walla last
week.
The association adopted practically
all the recommendations of the pre-
lim;nary meeting held at Yakima
about the first Of October. These in
cluded the completion of the North
Bank road from Lyle, near Maryhill,
to Kennewick; the purchase by the
state of the Kennewick- Pasco bridge;
more oiled roads in Eastern WASH
ington; starting of the Mt. Adams
read with Federal money; completion
OF the Naci1es Pass highway; and the
levying of an additional cent to
the gasoline tax, the fund thus raised
to be used on secondary highways
and on farn-to-market roads.
The meeting was well attended,
delegates being present from nearly
all parts of the state.
The meetings are held annually and
while the association is voluntary
organization and it's Recommendation
therefore not binding, it does have a
tremendous influence on road legis-
lstion.
The meeting next year will be held
at Bellinghan.

WILD TURKEYS NEXT

Most of the local hunters who were
out Wednesday, the first open day
of the season, gave a good account
Of themselves. William Van Hoy and
Floyd Gossard, with two friends
from Yakima, got 12 chinks and 4
huns, the bag limit, in few hours
in the morning. Ralph Windsor and
Lennard Perry also came in with
nice bag. The hunters report that
there are lots of pheasants and that
the huns are more numerous than
they expected.
The following are the other open
dates of the season; October 81, %,
"a, 28 and 81 and November 4. The
bag limit is Chinese Pheasants and
Hungarian partridges in any one
day.
Sportsmen in several of the coun-
ties throughout the State are going
to be offered something new in the
according to Sam F. Rathbun, state
supervisor of game and game fish.
In recent report to Charles r.
Maybury, director of the department
of fisheries and game, Rathbun sta
ted that number of wild turkeys
had been allotted to several of the
county game commissions for propa-
CATION purposes. Among the coun-
ties receiving allotments were Yali-
ma, Clark, Thurston and Whitman,
the latter receiving the greatest num-
ber. The birds were propagated and
reared at the Steilacoom game farm
by superintendent James Freckleton.
While the activities of the division
of fish and game are centered prf-
marily on the propagation of Chinese
Pheasants the division has, for the
past year or so, been conducting
experiments with wild turkeys in
the hope of being able to propagate
them in larger numbers if it was
found the birds could adapt them
selves to the wide diversity of range
land the state offers. II
! The ones released to the coun-
ties mentioned are strong. healthy
birds and the game officials are
Hopeful they will thrive in their
new environments to the point where
an open season can be offered the
hunters in a few years.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
WlTHDRAWS FROM RACE

John Delerre of Benton City, VINO
received enough votes at the recent
primary election to give him the nom-
ination on the democratic ticket for
county commissioner from this dis
trict, has filed his formal notice of
withdrawal with County Auditor E.
o. Keene and will, therefore, not be
a candidate against Ira Hawley, the
republican candidate, at the general
election November 9th.
The Benton City voters who
brought Mr.. Delerre out at the pri-
mary. did so in the hope that A. l..
Brockway would win the republican
nomination over Mr.. Hawley, figur-
ing they would have little trouble
beating Mr.. Brockway in the gener-
al election. However, when Haw-
ley won, Delerre and his hackers
lost interest and rather than face al
most certain defeat in the general
election, Mr.. Delerre withdrew from
the contest.
This will make certain Mr.. Haw-
ley's election on November s.

not had 4 great deal of experience
along that line but that lie has had

On his way home, from Yakima
last Saturday he overlook three
youngsters, boy and two girls,
ranging from 12 to Is years of age,
near the Morningsidei ranch. They
said they were hiking: from Yakima
to White Bluffs to find their parents
who were working in the fruit over
here.
Mr.. Keal was driving his small
truck and was pretty well loaded
down but he found room for all three
children and brought them to White
Bluffs, arriving here q little before
dark, and took them out to his home.
One Of the girls saidgher name was
Crawford and the other boy and girl,
claiming to be brother and sister, said
their name was Cromwell. After in
quiring around at the different or
chards Mr.. NKeal was unable to locate
any fruit workers by those names SO
he gave up the quest that evening but
spent nearly all day Sunday driving
around the valley trying to find trace
of the parents, but without any sue
cess whatever.
BY Monday morning it had begun
to dawn on him that. there was some
thing fishy about the whole business
and he conveyed his suspicious to
Deputy Sheriff Clate Grewell. The
latter called up Sheriff James Shep-
herd at Prosser and the mystery be-
gan right there to i.fitangle for the
sheriff said he had received call
from the sheriff Of Yakima county
asking him to be on the lookout for
three youngsters, whose description
tailed exactly with Mr.. Keals pro-

Mr.. Shepherd Immediately called
the sheriff's office at Yakima telling
him where the children might be
found and a deputy from that county

When they realized. that an Of
ficer was after them they made a
break to get away but. the deputy
beat them to the door with the re-

The deputy started back for Yak;-
ma about 8 o'clock in the afternoon
and when he rolled out 9of town Mr.
