BROADWAY SUNDAY SCHOOL
HAD A BIG RIcNIc
Glowing Reports on Their Return from
Atlantic Beach Tuesday Night
Baseball One of the Many Features.

The broadway Congregational Sun
day school had one of the best ptcnics
it ever had. at Atlantic beach on
Tuesday, under the management of
Supt. Herbert B. Cary, who as chair
man of the outing committee had the
happiness OF 240 people more or less
on his hands and did his part in a
manner that ELECTED unanimous praise
from the picnickers. In three special
cars the party left Franklin square
over the Norwich and Westerly line
at S.45. It turned out to be an ideal
day at the beach; the water was fine
for the swimmers and those who tried
to, and those who loitered on the sands
or remained in the pavilion were kept
cool and in a satisfied frame of mind
by refreshing saline breezes. Occasion
ally, of course, to the favored 240
came an even deeper appreciation of
their lot perhaps even a kind of self
congratulation with thought of those
they had left sweltering behind them
in the city.
OF the features of the day, which
were many. the enc that seemed to
stand out most glaringly when the
crowd got back at 5.45 was the base
ball game, wherein Norwich lined up
against a team of Mystic Sunday
school excursionists under the lead of
Rev. A. F. Ea1nshaw. The fact that
Norwich was beaten by a score after
81
we'll for the Mystic team, while the
additional fact that Norwich fought
gamely until the last man was out in
the ninth warrants a somewhat init
mate individual analysis of the game
from q Norwich standpoint The work
of Herbert Cary, alternating between
pitchers box and first base was out
standing in its brilliancy. In fact
among some of the 230 home fans (the
other nine being in the game, while
Rev. Mr.. Worcester was umpiring-
making the sum total $40 as above)
wonder, arose as to why Mr.. Cary, a
consistent scrub player in his days
at Yale, had not easily made the var
sity. George Dyer was pitcher when
Mr.. Cary was not, and the same in
regard to first, while Albion Heebner
caught both. At second was Charles
Dyer. playing nearly the whole inf1eld,
and at shortstop and third Avery
Holmes and Richard Lane performed
similar extensive functions. In the
outf1eld William Blair, Samuel Kerns
and George Clifford chased the long
ones. Besides Rev Mr.. Worcester
there were two other umpires, Carl
Kinney and William Buckley, but
which went first our special informant
did not state. For Mystic, the score
says enough.
There was a special diversion for
the girls of the party in the form of
nail-driving. 1t was an interesting
event, carried out with a facility that
showed practice.
Peanuts and orangeade at II O'Clock
increased the gayety and at o'clock
ice cream came to cap the copious
basket lunches that were carried. The
return trolleys started at AIS o'clock,
and everyone declared that it had been
q day attended with delightful socia-
bihty and fun. and spent in a most
pleasant place.
