Northwest
League Edge
By RAY ANDREWS
United Press Sports Writer
Eugene had a little breathing
space atop the Northwest League
today as the Emeralds opened a
one-game gap on second place
Yakima.
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-

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.
If you readers would like to
get flower-lasting hints on some
particular popular common cut
flowers, I'll be happy to do an
