Some time ago Manufacturers lodge OF
odd Fellows felt confident II could find
among its members a team that would
defeat the representatives OF any lodge
i'm the state that would dare 10 meet II
I'm Ave games OF bowling. The ink on the
challenge was not fairly dry before Mt.
Pleasant lodge on Mount Pleasant ac-
cepted II. At no stage Of the game was
the Manufacturers team In II. The prize
was a supper not only for the team but
for the entire lodge. so Manufacturers
lodge lost and most willingly settled AL
most So members OF Mt. Pleasant lodge
arrived at S:15 o'clock last night and
Past Grand Edward J. Shawcross intro
duced them. and I'm his little talk did
not forget TO lab" the bowling team Of
his own lodge. From mat time on until
the lodge closed there was nothing but
fun Those who were called upon 10
make speeches. especially the members
OF Manufacturers lodge. made an effort
to explain the why's and wherefores OF the
defeat The Mt. Pleasant takers had
much compassion for their fellow bowlers.
In fact, they intimated that the team
should first take a long course in roll
ing marbles with schoolboys before 1t ever
attempted to challenge even an amateur
womans bowling team.
