Quite large party of young people
spent Monday in picnic style. Baskets
were prepared and the yacht Blanche
chartered for the days outing which in
cluded cruise down the river in the
morning and game of ball at Urbanna
in the afternoon Every feature of the
day was enjoyable, although the ball
game was too one-sided to be exciting.
In fact, three Urbanna twirlers were
knocked out of the box and the game
stopped for the want of another. Score
4 to % in favor of Irvington. The fact
that the manager of the Southside
team insisted that team sufficiently
strong to furnish good contest be
brought, when told we were not yet in
good playing shape, is furnishing the
victors good bit of amusement.
