Saying It With Flowers

"The Alaska Yukon Club of Southern California, on Sunday sent to the former governor a greeting in flowers, with letter from President II. |. M. Higgins, in which he wrote
 "'It was with feelings of deep. est regret that the officers and members of this club learned from George Beaumont that you were still confined to your bed with sickness. We had hoped in the absence of news to the contrary, that recent news items stating that you were well on the road to recovery were true.
 "'As soon as the Alaska Yukor Club was informed of the fact that you had not yet fully recovered from your indisposition, a unani- nous resolution was passed ex- pressing cur sincere sympathy with you in your illness aIH 8 wholehearted wish for a speedy recovery from your indisposition.

 "When We review the unfaillne interest you have always given to Alaska and your unceasing and untiring efforts on behalf ot Alaskans and this club in particu lar, we feel this short letter ol sympathy is totally inadequate to express our feelings toward you, and should there be anything else we can do. please convey your wishes to the club by MT. Beau mont, the bearer of this letter.
 "'The small bunch of flowers with this is to remind you that spring is here and all Alaskana here in Los Angeles are thinking of you and praying for your early return to our circle'",

 A recent issue of the Pasadena Star-News contains the following concerning Gov Bone and the in- terest taken in him by Alaskans sojourning in California;

BEARS
ARE shut OUT
Cats, Spuds Half Dou-
bic Bill; Sports

In an era OF heavy hitting. two
Texas league pitchers claim to have
what it takes 70 stop the batsmen.
They are Hubbell of Beaumont and
Barnabe Of Waco, both Of whom re-
corded shutouts Tuesday against
first division clubs.
Hubbell led the Exporters TO a
Y to 0 victory over Houston while
Barnabe helped the Cubs administer
an s to 0 whitewashing to San An
tonic. Both were given great support
in hitting and fielding but it was
their hurting that turned the trick.
Fort Worth and Wichita Falls split
a doubleheader. the Cats taking the
first game, 3 to 4. and the Spudders
the second, s to 6. An early lead and
an eight-inning punch that scored one
run gave the Panthers the first tilt,
while a iast-inning rally that netted
six runs brought victory to the Spud-
ders in the aftermath.
Good pitching by Thompson helped
Shreveport defeat Dallas. 3 to /,
Thompson yielded nine safeties. the
same number the Sports gathered,
but he scattered them skilfully. Will
son had a perfect day with four hits
in four times at bat, and O'Brien hit
a homer.

/ Give Bob Quinn his laurel wreath.
AS president of the Boston Amer
lean league club he has pulled a wise
move that for intelligence seems to
beat anything connected with the
Red Sox in a decade.
The smart move Quinn pulled was
when he brought Bill Carrigan back
TO the helm of his old club.
Carrigan had run the Red Sox ma
chine before. He was in
the glorious years between 1914 and
1916 when, under his clever guild
ance, the red hosed bean eaters gal
loped 70 two flags.
Shortly after Bill left the helm or
the club it went into a tailspin. Since
1919 the American league representa-
tive in Boston has been the doormat
Of the loop.
The Red Sox have finished in every
position in the second division for
the last 10 years. However, every
thing now points to better times and
a lot better cam. Boston finished
in last place last season, but seems
destined, thanks largely to Mr.. Car
rigan. TO windup the current cam
paign in q loftier position.
The reversal Of form shown by the
Red Sox is also a great boost for
Bilh IL shows that Carrigan, out Of
the swim for-10 years, il still d fine
baseball man, though the national
game has changed quite a bit in the
10 years that he was out.
OF course. Carrigan couldn't pick
up Immediately right where he left
off in 1916, but he's on the right
track. The team he has moulded to-
gether this year seems destined to
upset all the dope by finishing in the
first division, and may in a couple
of years bring back to Boston the
flag that nee was her proud pos
session.
With Carrigan yanking the Amer
lean league entry out of the slough
of despond and Rogers Hornsby
whipping their Braves into a sem
blance Of a team, Boston no longer Is
such a rotten place for a baseball
fan to live.
Perhaps better days are in store
for the Cape Cod crowd-anyway,
they deserve them.
