until big Andy" Andrews pounds /
the ball game over the fence 70 put
the Islanders atop The league sand
ings with the lone tally CT t''2 day.
AS Douglas hurler Mark Jensen
matched Kimballs chuckins TO
check the Moose power and inning
after inning went by with naught
but naughts on the score board,
the game appeared a repetition OF
the two squads last meeting, which
died a scoreless seven-frame tie.
After a furry of action at the
opening gun, when Kimball issued
two passes but was saved by the
first of two remarkable leaping
snatches by shortstop Marquardt,
there was no further threat until
the Pap guns opened up with Orme's
single and Werners double, in or
der, in the last of the fifth. Jen-
zen, then however, cinched up and
put away Blake and Kimball with
a Whit and pop fly.
Circuit CIout
With two away in the first of the
sixth, Andrews caught hold of one
of Kimball's slants to drive it on
a line over the center field wall.
after which Jensen popped up then
took the hill to put the Moose down
in order in the last of the canto.
The Islanders gathered their other
brace of blows in the first of the
seventh, when Turner singled and
stole and pinch hitter Shine Balog
plunked fluke past the box to
push Turner on to third where he
died when Brant and Manning
went down.
Not quite ready to give in, the
Moose opened up again on their
last turn at bat With two away,
Crme again reached first when An
drews muffed Turner's peg and
Werner followed up with his second
drive a single. Converse then went
in to hit for Blake, but could not
quite come through and the Is
landers took the contest to move
to the front of the league.
Splendid Fielding
Outstanding fielding by bot h
squads marked the play, with Mar
quardt, Haglund and Werner out
standing for the Paps and Turner
shining brightest for the Islanders.
Except for times when he was
careless with his control, Kimball
pitched what should have been win
ming ball, but was up against more
than his equal in Jensen, who was
breaking them around the corners
with remarkable early season mas
terry. Umpires Kochak and Iffert
also turned in business-like jobs.

This home breaks away from
the mOnotOnOus architectural
design which SO many small
homes employ. Attractive fea-
lures which stamp it as un-
usual are its generous front
porch, its novel living-room
window with pointed gable,
and the concealed garage that
gives sense of added space
to the house. Appraised by

One variety of Towering shrub
which is quite common in the I'm
perial Valley. and which does very
well here. is the CaSsia. Because of
some similarity of pronunciation
of their names find good many
confuse the CaSsia with the Acacia
family. These are two entirely dif-
ferent families of plants, not in
any way related. The Cassia is
shrub with small gray green fol-
lage, growing about five or six feet
high and covered in the winter and
early spring with small yellow BIOS
SONS. It is a native of Australia
and is naturally adapted to a warm
arid climate. The variety commin-
| ly seen here is the Cassia Arteme-
soides. There is a newer and less
common variety, CaSSia Splendida,
sometimes called Golden Wonder,
which has bright green foliage.
This variety grows about six or
eight feet high and as much across
and has larger, Shower blossoms.
Both varieties are evergreen and
give lot of color in the yard or
garden through the winter months.
The Acacia family is quite a
large one as it embraces many
varieties OF both shrubs and trees.
But an Acacia. whether shrub or
tree, may always be identified by
its blossom which comes in the
form of a small. fuzzy, yellow ball,
usually very fragrant Anyone who
visits the Southern California coast
district in early spring cannot fail
to be impressed BY the fragrance
and beauty OF the Acacia Baileyana.
This is a tree from which comes

The only variety of the Acacia
which would recommend as

the Black Acacia acacia Melan-

Peter Rabbit as he peered into a
thicket where he could make out a
brownish-gray mass on the snow,
which he recognized at once as
Lightfoot, lying down.

none too pleasantly, for he much
preferred that not even Peter Rab-
bit should see him without the glory
of his wonderful horns.
Peter crept into the thicket while
Lightfoot vainly tried to keep his
head out of sight. "Pooh!" said
Peter. Don't mind me. I know
you haven't got your horns, but
