Garden Club Go
On Tour of Gardens
Many beautiful gardens were
visited by members of the Gar
den club on their tour last Tues
day afternoon.
The T. B. Mills place on
Stony Point road is unusually
beautiful this year—the succes
sions of planting of perennials
and annuals show an unusual
amount of study and thought.
The rock garden, newly complet
ed, is exceptional.
Other rock gardens visited is
the one made by Mrs. T. L.
Timmons whose home is on Rose
avenue. One member described
the garden as “a perfect doll
house garden anl perfectly ador
able.” Mrs. E. E. Knight has
constructed a lily pool with a
rockery in her garden on the O.-
A. hill. The pool and garden
on the Greenman place has been
planned and designed by a land
scape architect. The whole ef
fect is perfectly balanced, the
rockery being planted with suit
able plants and lilies in their
pottery containers placed in the
pool.
Many other gardens were vi
sited, all receiving favorable
comment from the members.

5 TO 2 SUNDAY
The Vernonia Baseball club
played the Rainier club Sunday,
taking them to a 5 to 2 clean
ing. The game was played in
fast time and was one of the
best exhibitions ever put up by
the local club. McGregor, hurl
ing for the Redshirts, was in
excellent form, allowing only
four bingles, all of which were
«ingles, and struck out eight of
the Rainier batsmen.
Rainier crossed the plate first
in the third inning when they
marked up a run on a walk, a
tolcn base and a single. Ver
nonia tied the count in their
half of the third on a walk, a
couple of stolen bases by Linn
and a single by Brooks. They
added two more in the sixth on
successive singles by Hawkins,
McGregor, Malmsten and Green
man and then pushed across two
more in the seventh to make sure
of the game, on singles by Linn,
Brooks and Malmsten.
Rainier shoved their final
counter across in the eighth on
errors by Malmsten and Mc
Gregor.
The crowd viewing the game
was very small and was most
disheartening to the local club.
The manager reports that be
cause of poor crowds the locals
will have to drop out of the Two
State league and play indepen
dent ball for the remainder of
the season. He is at present
dickering with St. Helens for
a couple of games and will also
itry to get games with Jewell
and Timber, as well as a few
games with some of the faster
clubs from Portland. There will
be no game next Sunday but
there will be a game the follow-
ing Sunday with a club to be
named later.
