Sunday afternoon. W h i 1 e the Pelicans had an overwhelming victory when they defeated Glendale by a 15 to 1 score in the opening game it is believed they will meet a tough opponent in Cave Junction in the Sunday game. Cave Junction defeated Merlin by a 12 to 6 score in their opener on May 8 and also won their sec ond game against Eagle Point last Sunday, 10 to 5. Eagle Point had previously defeated Rogue River 16 to 12 in 11 innings. Pelican manager Babe Swear ingen plans to field practically the same line-up he used against the Glendale team, with Dick Sal vage, last year a Cave Junction pitcher, facing his former team- mates, and gunning for his sec- ond victory of the season. In Saturday’s game, it is said that the batteries will be changed, hoping to equalize the high school and league teams. A good game may result under this plan. The caravan of National Garden Club delegates from 42 states on their way to attend the annual convention of Garden Clubs at Portland this year, will pause in Brookings, Saturday, not only to view the flower show, but to inspect the azaleas in Azalea State Park. Most of the delegates are gathering in Los Angeles or San Francisco and will move, by caravan, all the way up the coast highway toward Portland. Mrs. Hull, national president, is flying from New York to Eureka where she will meet the remainder of the delegation, and will at« tend a dedication of a conservation project of all garden clubs of America. This is to be known as the National Council of Gar- den Club’s Redwood Park, south of Eureka. After this dedication the caravan will come up the coast high- way toward Brookings. The last report the Azalea Garden club had on this was that Mrs. Hull will arrive by bus with other delegates and after spending some time in Brookings, and after departure of the caravan bus, will be driven to Crescent City by Mrs. Guy Rice, Azalea Garden Club president, where Mrs. Hull will take a plane for Portland, ahead of the caravan. The itinerary of these delegates, state presidents, their officers, the national council president, Mrs. Hull and officers, was all set before Azalea Garden Club realized that possibly they might be persuaded to “be going our way.” Mrs. Hull accepted the invitation with enthusiasm and graciousness. Mrs. Hull, and especially Mrs. Shearer, state president of Cali fornia Federated Clubs, were co-operative. It took a lot of doing to change all travel arrangements to include Azalea Festival. To quote Mrs. Shearer: “I am sure that all of us good gar deners will love to see your flower show’ and Oregon’s beautiful azaleas. We should arrive sometime in the early afternoon.” Azalea Garden Club has been noted for its reputation among the To vote an additional $15,731.70 garden clubs and a lot is expected of the local group.
