COMMERCE men
CONSIDER HOW TO
INFORM PUBLIC
Newspapers. Preferred
Reports Make Dry
Reading

J. r. Coyle, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, returned
yesterday from Ontario, where he
attended the monthly meeting of
the Southern California Associa-
tion of Commercial secretaries. An
interesting address was given at
the meeting by J. d. Givens, direc-
tor of the 18th California district
on the work of the War Veterans
Bureau, who described the func-
tioning of this department of the
government in looking after the
welfare Of the ex-scrvice men, par
ticularly those suffering from in.
juries as a result of their war SER
vice.
General discussion of the work
of commercial secretaries occupied
the great part Of the session, an
open forum being held for the pur-
pose Of receiving suggestions on
the work from all who cared to
make them. One particular ques-
tion ON which practically all the
secretaries agreed was that more
good is accomplished through max
ing the work of the secretary and
the Chamber as whole, known to
the public through the medium of
newspapers, rather than through
printed reports to the membership
and board of directors, the latter

Garden Committee Is
Urging Fi0Uer Gardens

The Garden Committee of the Ten
Thousand Club considered the dates
set for National Garden Week too
late in the season for Imperial Val
ley, and are observing the week now
as far as possible. Ministers of the
city were asked to speak of garden
growing last Sunday, and teachers
in the public schools have been
urged to do what they can to inter
est the children in growing flowers
and vegetables.
The flower show held last fall
by the FL Centre library was so
great success and aroused so much
interest, that the club committee
hopes to see it become an annual
event, with much larger exhibits
than was possible last season. This
can readily be accomplished, if all
bear it in mind end get their roses.
erysanthemums, and other fall and
winter plants to growing early early
in the fall. 1t has been demonstrat-
ed that as fine flowers can be
grown in Ell Centre as anywhere on
the coast and there is no reason why
home gardens cannot produce cut
flowers i'll abundance.
Interest in home grounds plant
ing has been awakened through the
farm home department of the extern
sion service and Miss Miller, agent,
will stress the planting of flowers
and shrubs this week as she meets
with the different centers. Many
rural homes are improving the
grounds about the house and senti.
ment is growing all over the valley
for better and more beautiful homes
and yards. With the water cheaper
in FL Centre, there is reason to ex-
pect that wider interest will be
taken in flower production next sea-
son than for many years.
At least the garden committee is
doing all it can to create sentiment
in this direction and is asking the
cooperation of all who love flowers,
not only during Garden week but
all summer and fall.

title. Not long afterwards he met

HOW TO KEEP SCORE
John b. Foster Will Instruct Light
Readers In the Mysteries OF Ii.

John r. Foster, whose entertain
ing stories of the baseball training
camps have been daily feature
of the San Antonio Lights sport
page for several weeks, will begin
a series of instructions for ANA
teur score-keepers next week. His
first article on how to score will
appear in Tuesdays Light.
Foster, who is one Of the vete-
rams of baseball, was among the
first to use the scoring method now
employed all over the United
States; in fact, he originated some
of the symbols that appear on the
score-books today and look to the
unititiated like the tracks of hen
that had been scratching all morn
ing in sour mash.
Foster intends to take up the
art of scoring--which is really very
simple when IL is fully understood
from its foundation and carry
his students through the rule-book
until they should emerge finished
score-keepers.
Some people have the idea that
marking down runs. hits and errors
in the score by innings is all there
is to scoring. Foster will disillu-
sion these folks, but he hopes TO
make his articles plain enough 10
be understood BY all and make
everyone who cares to follow the
instructions competent manufac-
turer of box-scores.

CHANGES BACK AGAIN
Neis Decides He Can't Hit as Left.
Handler.

Clearwater. Fla, March 31.-Is It
possible to change a players batting
style after he becomes a big Lacquer
and have it work out successfully?
Manager Wilbert Robinson Of the
Brooklyn Nationals is not sure.
When Bernie Neis came to the
Dodgers in 1920 he was a right-handed
hitter and seemed to have much prom
Use. However, he failed to hit up to
the standard.
Neis early showed that he could
cover plenty of ground and excelled
as a fielder. 1t was believed that if
he shifted from the right to the left
side of the plate he might be able to
take advantage of his great speed in
getting down to first base.
After much preliminary practice he
was converted into left-handed bats
man. though as a rule he went back
to the right side of the plate when
batting against southpaws.
Neis met with Indifferent success
after changing his batting style. Last
season he batted only 300. which is
hardly enough for an outfielder slated
to take the position held down by Hi
Myers, who hit nearly 100 points bet
ter.
Manager Robinson is convinced that
Neis is not cut out t, b. a left-handed
hitter. He has instructed him to hit
only from the right side Of the plate.
This is pleasing to Neis, who never
was very strong for the left-handed
idea. He says he will jump his aver
age at least 80 points this year il al
lowed to do all his batting right-hand-
ed.

JOHNSON AND RUEL
Catcher From Yanks to Take Walters
Fast Ones This Season.

Tampa. Fla. March SILT has been
definitely decided who will catch Wal.
ter johnson the coming season. When
Walter is selected to pitch his first
game the announcer will yell:
For Washington. johnson will
pitch and Ruel will catch"
Thus Muddy Ruel will become the
fourth catcher to be paired off with
the great johnson.
The original battery was johnson
and Street. then came johnson and
Ainsmith. followed by johnson and ri.
cinich. The latest is johnson and
Ruel.
Ruel dotes on speed. When with
New York he handled the fast-ball
pitchers of the Yankees. Ruel will
also be paired with Allan Russell, the
spitballer.
Eddie Charity never liked to catch
Johnson, and incidentally has never
done much receiving for spitballcrs. so
it is certain Ruel will be behind the
bat when either johnson or Russell
works.
