K. Of P. PICNIC
WELL ATTENDED

Five thousand is the number CON
! servatively placed on those who at
tended the annual K. K cct ccf P. P picnic ct
/ Chippewa Lake on Wednesday. The
day dawned threateningly, light show
ers falling throughout the morning.
However, before noon the sun was at
full radiance and the crowd began gath
ering at the lake from all directions.
The Wooster and Berea bands ar
rived at an early hour and discoursed
music until evening. Both bands elic-
tied much applause. The merry-go-
round worked over time all day and
the drowning of two men in the lake
last week did not deter bathers from
enjoying the water.
Gaiety ran high until the ball game
was on in the afternoon, when an ac-
cident occurred that not only put a
stop to the game, but dampened the
spirits of many who witnessed the un-
fortunate event. Norris Clark of
Seville, county district superintendent
of schools, while catching for the Sc
vile team suffered a compound frac-
ture Of his right ankle. A player was
making home run from third and
Clark had braced himself to catch out
with the ball from third base. In at
tempting to slide home, the runner fell
full force on Clark's ankle, with the
above mentioned result. Clark was
conveyed to his home in an auto, ac-
, companied by doctor from Cleveland
who had witnessed the accident, who,
with Dr. Hard of Seville, reduced the
fracture. Mr.. Clark suffered great
pain the balance of the night.
Dancing was in order all day, but
this amusement reached it's highest
mark in the evening. The "joy was
unconfned" and it is also probable that
that there wasn't much sleep till
morn"
Wooster merchants closed their
stores for the day, while Medina mer-
chants, who cease business every We'd
nesday afternoon, took advantage of
the afternoon at the lake.
While the crowd was not so large as
last year, it was equally as enjoyable
an occasion. A few professional pick |
pockets were reported to be working
the crowd, but officials on the grounds |
were unable to detect them. Manager
Beach was busy man all day and
evening and did everything possible |
for the pleasure and comfort of his |
visitors.
