AO CLUB OUTING
IS BIG SUCCESS
Probably Greatest Day in the
History of the Beautiful
Resort.
SOMETHING IS DOING
EVERY SINGLE MINUTE
Malcolm McAIlister Wins the
Feather-Heavyweight Cham
pionship by Default.

Those live ones who lived until July
/ this year, after the first annual out
ing Of the Ad club ut Lagoon Thurs
day, decided to live until July l next
year and "do 1t better If possible
although there is considerable doubt
as to whether even the Ad club could
outdo the high variety Of stunts which
were put through at tho "prettiest
spot in Utah on July /.
To say that there was something do
ing every minute would he putting 1T
mildly. The fun began some time be
fore the famous Ad club special left
the city for Lagoon. Promptly at 1918,
as advertised, the steam roller con
test was run Off on Main street, the
run being made from the Judge burld-
ing to the Kenyon hotel An idea ex'
lists in the minds of many people that
q steam roller - vehicle OF slow and
dignitied motion. II was demonstrated
in the race Thursday that this Is a
fallacy. 4 teu-ton steam roller would
not be expected to do stunts like
circus horse, of course, but those used
Thursday acted like first'class automo-
biles, it was said, and the race was
an interesting one.
J. r. Player, driving a CLIFTON high
grade p. j. Moran racer, won by
neck in a close contest, with Len Lewis
looking over his opponent S shoulder
and driving a tentou machine. Char
ley Pitt, with his scvcn-ton machine,
was third, but was ia the race every
minute of the time.
Ad Club Special.
The Ad club special, gaily decorated
with signboartls and placards, left the
depot at 2;05 and made ii quick run
to the grounds. Other trains left dur
ing the afternoon and evening and a
eood-sized crowd invaded the pretty
resort and took possession, The base
ball game between mines from the
Press club and the Ad club was the
event OF the day. Farley Jensen, the
umpire, brought with the Press for its
individual use, was knocked out early
in the game and real bruiser was put
in his place The efforts of all the
special police on the grounds were re-
CURED TO keep order among the play
ers, and after five innings the game
was called on account of undue tumul-
tuous conduct on the part of the play
ers, The scorer was unable TO count
the runs ut the latest report, and as
game is not made public The lineup
follows: Press club-F'itzgerald, right
field; Paul Armstrong pitch; Tobin.
third base; Brown, first base; =. Arm
strong, second base: Settle, catch; Pat
ten, center field; Maynard, shortstop;
Magruder. left field, There Were sew
eral substitutes The Ad club-Har-
ris, first base; Mcclure. center field;
Panney. shortstop; Brazier. left field;
81
Young, second base; Levin. pitch;
Lambert, right field, No substitutes
could be found
Greatly to the disappointment of the
sports, the 103-round go for the feather
heavyweight championship Of the
world, between John Critcblow and
Malcolm McAllister, was defaulted to
McAllister on account of the nonap-
pearance of his opponent. Several very
interesting preliminary bouts were
pulled OF. however, to the amusement
or the large crowd of spectators. The
Judgment of the referee was that every
one was satisfied and there was no
kick coming.
Fast Time Made.
The fftyyard dash vas won by May
nard in the fast time Of 10 minutes
Hale was second and Tobin third. The
peanut rolling contest. open TO all, was
hotly contested, but was finally won
by Miss Annette Londy, aged 8 years
The lap boat race proved most inter
esting. especially as an exhibition of
the different methods Of rowing now
in vogue, and collisions were many and
various. f. d. French was credited
with the finish and two laps; +. A.
Panlta with one lap, and r. A. Vande.
venter with one lap.
The prize waltz was won by Mrs.
Isobel Christensen, who displayed ex-
ceptIonal grace and received q hand
some silk umbrella. Joseph Poll re-
ceived first prize for the gentleman.
The pie-eating contest was won by The
Tribune, with the Telegram second by
slight amount. The affair was voted a
complete success by every enc present.
Several additional engines were re.
CURED to haul the crowd home. but this
favor by the management was in line
with the others granted throughout the
day and was certainly greatly appreci-
atcd.
