The third annual outing of the Holy
Name Society connected with the
Church of Our Lady Help of Christians,
East Orange, to Bayonne yesterday
afternoon was one of the best and
most enjoyable social events ever held
by that society. The one hundred men
or more in the outing returned about
midnight AND they declared today that
they Certainly had all the pleasure the
arrangement committee had planned
for them.
They played ball that would be
envied by the Newark Tigers. They
had a tug-of-war hat would have been
enjoyed at the recent London Olym-
piad. They threw quoits with a clever
ness that was surprising, ran races and
just turned themselves loose and did
everything hat care-free folks felt like
doing.
Then they rested in the large fields
and at the pavilion. They ate a sump-
tuous shore dinner Inc would be still
eating had not their spiritual adviser
cautioned them on one of the Seven
deadly SINS Joe Tierney thought
there never were so many clans in the
ocean. andy Murray looked de-
pressed, but it was said he was only
meditating just where he could open
up an ice cream parlor where he could
sell on Sundays. After the shore din
ner had been served the dramatic
bunch broke loose. They danced and
soloed, quartetted and ~chorused, while
some of the single men were goo-goo-
cycling the pretty girl musicians en-
ployed at Meister's.
The baseball game between the mar
ried and the single men was won by
the latter, who were victorious through
the effectual pitching of George Holey.
The score was: Married men 10, single
men 8.
The ball game was followed by a foot
race. The competitors were men
weighing 200 pounds or more. For men
endowed with an abundance of flesh
they ran 100 yards, more or less. in the
remarkable time of ten seconds fiat,
more or less. Dennis Cleary was easily
the winner, with TON" English sec
ond and Oar" o'Halloran third.
If Martin Woods had not met with
an accident he would undoubtedly have
won the coveted prize, but his friends
claim his jaw was In the way.
Among the married men Frank Nc
Council proved himself the %leetest,
with "Tom'' Walsh a close second.
The most exciting event of the day
was the tug-of-war between the mar
ried and the single men. The members
of both teams went into the contest
to give battle royal to each other. The
tension of the rope was so great that
it broke, and the rest a be imagined
by those interested in such sport. The
decision was in favor of the married
men, but the youths were not satisfied.
The rope was placed together and a
game battle royal was on, but the
young men were no match for the men
who have seen more years of hard
ship than their younger friends.
The Rev. Father O'Malley was we'll
pleased and declared the outing a big
success.
