Brookings Pelicans drew a bye
in their Rogue Valley league
schedule last Sunday, but will
make up for lost time this com
ing Azalea Festival week-end
when they play the high school
nine on the local diamond Sat-
urday afternoon and also take on
the Cave Junction team in a
league game here at 2:00 p. m.
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
