Proceedings of the Ninth Annual Meeting of the Pacific 
Slope Branch of the American Association of 
Economic Entomologists 
The ninth annual meeting of the Pacific Slope Branch of the American 
Association of Economic Entomologists was held at Stanford University, 
June 27-28, 1924. 
The opening and closing sessions were devoted to short business 
meetings, while the intervening time was occupied with the reading of 
papers and discussion. Following the Friday afternoon session the 
Federal and State entomologists opposed each other in the first annual 
championship Pacific Slope ball game. Due to a violent collision be¬ 
tween one of the catchers and the official scorer, whose equilibrum and 
decorum were entirely upset, the official score was lost, but it is believed 
that the State Entomologists were victors. After the ball game a bar¬ 
becue was substituted for the usual banquet and proved to be a very 
pleasant innovation.
