Eugene turned in a 5-2 deci sion over Lewiston last night with Jack Smith providing the bulk of the power. Smith chip ped in with a double and triple in the Emeralds 8-hit attack. Lewiston managed 10 hits but Terry Loy kept them well SDaced. Spokane finally turned the tables on Yakima after taking two beatings from the Bears. Last night they topped the Bears 14-8 with two homers playing a big part in the victory. Bolirer Homers Bill Bottler slammed a three- run homer in the fifth and George Huffman walloped a two run homer in the sixth. , Tri-City continued its winning ways with a 7-6 ten-inning deci sion over Salem. The victory gave the Braves a clean sweep of the four-game series. Salem almost pulled it out of the fire in the extra inning but Bob Daley choked off the rally. Milt Martin homered for the Braves in the seventh. Tonight the teams change cities with the Wenatchee Chiefs getting back into action against Yakima. Salem will be the idle team in the loop during the cur rent series. Will Boom Be Lowered On Bruins? Victoria, B.C. (U.R) Will the boom be lowered on UCLA's football dynasty? That was the No. ' 1 question here today as Pacific Coast Con ference officials opened a five- day meeting to consider gridiron evils at member schools. Here is the quaint, beautiful British .Columbia capital city, the speculation is that the PCC is going to kick the Bruins into the dog house with the Washing ton Huskies. "Confession" The case in point is the "con fession" signed by George Step henson, former UCLA football player who signed a statement to the effect that assistant coaches made "secret cash deals" providing that "all players good enough to make the 33-man traveling squad, plus several in eligibles as the result of trans fers, were given $115 a month for the school year." This, he said, included the $75 the con- NEW STANLEY G. PARRISH Genera! Contractor COFFEEII BROS. PLUMBING f,l. C. LINIIIGER & SOUS CONCRETE AND RENTAL EQUIP. Is That So? Question: Why do some cut flowers last so well, others, de spite the best care, last scarcely a day? Answer: Some flowers, like bachelor's-buttons, may last a week. Others just naturally have a short life. But even with the shorter-lived flowers, some of them can last longer. Select these and put them in smaller arrangements and be sure to recut their stems slantwise un der the water in the new con tainer. If you bought the flowers at a florist shop, they may not have been conditioned properly but that is unusual. Others, although they look fresh have been held over too long. As with vege tables, you should patronize the same shop. Q. Once the bouquet is ar ranged, should it be disturbed by changing water? A. M o s t assuredly, water must be changed frequently at least once every two days. If anything, this is the most effec tive way to prolong the life of your cut flowers. Changing wa ter prevents a high concentra tion of bacteria forming in the water. That is the slimy sub stance which soon collects around stem ends. These quickly close the water-conducting tubes and moisture is no longer freely drawn up by the plant. If your room is warm, bacterial growth is accelerated and it may be ne cessary to change water daily. Bacteria-choked stems can be freed by cutting and recutting. This is most effective when done in the first two or three days. Af ter the fifth day it is usually too late. Ways to Reduce Bacteria Q. Are there ways to reduce the growth of these ' bacteria which clog up the water-conducting tubes? . A. Yes, several. First keep your conditioning containers and vases absolutely clean. After each use, wash them with hot soapy water. Better yet, add a bit of ammonia. Next avoid the use of soft greenery or cut-up fern in con tainers as a holding medium. These decay quickly. Besides they make the water smell. When something other than a pinholder is required, use chick en wire, crushed styrofoam, snowpak, or a device of - split twigs lodged in the opening of the container above the water line. Finally, some leaves such as those of snapdragons and dahlias promote decay. Others, like those of rose and carnation which are used for pattern and design in a glass container, are thick enough fortunately to re main in water for some time without deterioration. But un less you are using a sturdy fol iage, it is best to remove all fol iage from the- area of the stem which extends below the water line in the container. Some Chemicals Helpful Q. Many people add chemi cals to the water. Are these ben eficial and do they preserve the life of flowers? A. Some do, some don't. Some chemicals sold at florist and most hardware stores are good: they are good because they check the growth of bacteria and so aid in keeping flowers fresh. But even when using pre servatives c ommercial or home-made it is best to change the water after two days and prepare a fresh solution after that time. The addition of sugar or salt seems to benefit some flowers. Sugar acts as a food; salt helps some flowers absorb water, as begonias and coreopsis. Our old friend aspirin seems to have no value. And as for put ting pennies in the water to add copper little as they amount to today they'll still do more good in your purse.

The combination of pitcher John Carmichael and outfielder Floyd Robinson propelled San Diego to within a half game of the first division as they won their series with San Francisco.
