SEE THE FLOWERS

NEVER have the desert flowers been
" more abundant or more beautiful than
this year and they present a gorgeous
spectacle which every resident of I'M
perial Valley should observe.
Such is the beauty and fame of this
work of nature that daily visitors from
all parts of the southland are coming TO
Imperial Valley to witness it.
Parties from the coast have been ar
irving here during the present week and
for several past week-ends to view the
spectacle, their interest having been a
reused by the widespread publicity which
the flowers have been given in coast pub
lications
Certainly with such beautiful spec
tacle in their very baekyards, Imperial
Valley residents should not miss it.
Easter is a most appropriate time to
visit the desert and view the beautiful
spectacle which nature has created there.
The heavy rains of the winter, which
proved so undesirable to some of us, are
responsible for the beauty which we may
now enjoy.
A visit to the desert tomorrow will af-
ford a delightful day to the entire fam
lily. Strange as it may seem, there are
still many residing here who have never
seen the desert in its flowery garb. For
them, the spectacle is certain to be de-
lightful surprise. To those who have
witnessed it before, it will provide a re-
newal of their appreciation for the hand
iWork of nature.

CRUCIAL GAMES !. co MING UP IN
 LEAGUE F|CH I
Close Race for First Half Flag Makes All Three
 Games Important

With the current City League bunting chase tighter than the strong box of an Edinburgh bank CT, the three remaining games on the rain-washed schedule all come under the heading crucial. Both the Moose and American Legion outfits have chances to cop the flag for the first half. and the Elks have a chance to make a tri- pie tie out of the contest.
 The first of these games will be played this evening between the American Legion and Elks. The Vets figure in all three of the games, the Elks in two and the Moose in one.
 The Ve:s had slim lead of II points after last nights game which the Moose won from the Bills. The former have won one less and lost one less than the latter. The Veterans have to beat the Moose in order to win. But if they beat the Paps and drop their two en- counters to the Elks each team will then have won six and lost six games, tying the count for the half and neceSsitating round robin playoff.
 The ex-soldiers can win by win ming two games, but one of them must be won from the Moose which have already won six and lost five games. If the Vets won two from the Elks and then lost to the Moose, the game count would be seven wins and five losses for both the Vets and Paps.
 Pete Schmitz, who was assigned to the Legion this season, but who did not report for duty, walked into the fold yesterday and was assigned uniform. If he is in shape. and he says he is, he will be sent to the mound tonight against the Elks, leaving Bob Kea- ton available for the Vets next game against the Moose.
 Manager Andrews of the Elks is in a bad way for pitchers to- night. Manning, hit on both wrists last night, will hardly be in shape to work. Junge pitched half a game last night and may have to go the whole route tonight.

Southern Team Lacks Zest
for TiIt-Dixie's Season
Marked by Upsets.

"A few Southern elevens have
| games this Saturday, including
Alabama, which meets St.
Mary's. st. Msry's would appear to be
stronger, and Alabama having lost two
games Will not have that high tide of
enthusiasm which an undefeated sea-
son brings.
Auburn should win from South Caro-
lima, Maryland from Western Mary
land, en- intense rivalry, and Tennessee
from Florida.
At the start of the season the ex-
perts thought Tulane, Tennessee and
Alabama would have the outstanding
teams in the Southern Conference. with
Vanderbilt pretty close behind the big
three.
Along came Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute, totally unexpectedly, with a fine
team composed of intelligent players,
although not quite good enough to win
from Alabama.
Tulane, after misfortunes of one kind
or another, has lost once and been tied
once, Alabama has lost twice. Ten
neSsee has lost none. but was tied by
Vanderbilt, and Vanderbilt has lest
one, but was tied by Tulane and Ten
nessec.
Duke made a remarkable record con-
sidering very hard schedule and a
modest amount of material Georgia
Tech set an inspiring example. despite
repeated defeats, of keeping the flag
flying at the top of her tent.
Many fine teams and individual
players, who were expected to be at the
top have not quite made it, but have
Appropriated it. There generally has
been continuance of the fine sports
manlike relations between the teams
and coaches, and all in all the Southern
Conference has had very fine season.

w YHEN 1t comes to locating the
M all-America hard luck team
for 1882, the answer is SIM
pie. The award goes to Tu-
lane, with something to spare.
As the season opened, Tulane had
three of its star backs left from the
backfleld cast of 1881 which stood out
as one of the strongest scoring quar-
tets of the country. These three were
Zimmerman, Felts and Payne. Here
was a combination of great offensive
and defensive strength, capable of win
ming another Southern title.
And then the cyclone struck. Before
the first big test came along, Payne
suffered q broken bone, which retired
him for the year. Then Nollie Felts,
one of the best fullbacks to be found
anywhere, was barred for brief con-
nection with the Cotton State League
before entering college.
This left Zimmerman the sole veteran
in the backfield. And that wasn't all.
When the game with Louisiana State
arrived on Thanksgiving day, thinner
man was in bed with the flu, making
clean sweep of what should have been
one of the strongest backhelds of the
country.
Zimmerman's record, with Felts and
Payne missing, was one OF the seasons
brightest spots but think what the triple
combination might have shown!
THIS isn't bad year to watch $4,000
i roll In on q single putt. II there
is any doubt about it, ask Denny
Shute, who set the pace for such stars
as Sarazen, Hagen, Farrell, Smith and
Coral Gables
It was a bad closing putt for 81
year-old Johnny Revolta, the Michigan
kid, who finished second. But the lat
ter's own final putt, which beat Ed
Dudley by one stroke, was worth 81 ESQ.
When you check back short span,
Denny Shute hasn't done so badly since
he switched from the amateur into pro
ranks. He has won several big money
tournaments and has made more than
one bid for the open.
Shute is a tall, slender entry with
full. free swing a golfer always willing
ton. he is one of the best putters IN
the game. Tommy Armour still talks
about the putting exhibition Shute put
on at Providence in the P. G. A. test
of 1881 where he dropped putt after
putt from 8, 10 and IL feet to beat one
of the finest rounds Armour ever
played.
1t was something of a jolt to the
talent at large to see such golfers as
Sarazen, Hagen. Horton Smith, Johnny
Farrell, Ejlly Burke and other head
liners falling In back of young Revolta,
who was one Of the sensations of the
tournament.
IRON latest reports, leading profess
L sional stars have made no plans to
draw away from the P. G. A.,
where the main idea is to enlarge the
tournament scope.
This will be no easy Winter on the

ranging from 81 1000 to $4,000.
When you have to finish among the

IN addition to the Army-Navy scrap
i Saturday at Franklin Field, both
the South and the Far West are
somewhat steamed up over the clash
between Alabama and st. Mary's
Due partly to accidents and illness,
both teams had spotty seasons, but
both at their best were able to show
unusual strength against strong oppo-
sition.
Both are now well conditioned for
this contest, which should be one of
the best games Of the year.
