 A THRILLING AFFAIR
Jehuda HaleVi Lodge Holds Outing
 at Lake COmpounCe


 large crowd, the annual outing of Jchuda Halevi lodge, I. o. B. B., held yesterday afternoon at Lake Com- l bounce was one of the most success ful ever given by the order. All the 1 members and their families and friends were present and each and every one declared that the picnic was the best ever.
 1 On arriving at the lake the married men and the single men crossed bats for an indoor baseball game. At torney M. D. Sake and Constable Fred 1 Wrinkle composed the battery for the married men. while Dr. Mendel Volk- | cnheim and Lawyer A. A. Greenberg were the board of strategy for those 1 who were not yet enjoying connublal | bliss For several innings the game 1 was excitingly played, neither side be- ing able to bring a run across the plate. In the seventh inning, now ever, the married mon, led by Lawyer Saxe hit the ball to all corners ot the field. The exact number of runs scored will never be known, for the official scorer, "Jack' Keimowitz, had suddenly disappeared. After much hunting he was discovered try ing to convince A. Aisenberg. who had charge of the pies, that it was about time that the Die eating contest should be held, exclaiming that he was almost starved.
 The pie eating contest furnished most of the mirth for those assem- bled. Hyman HOrwitz, "Jack' keimo- Witz, N. M. Miller and Harry Gordon were opposed to each other and Fred Wrinkle acted as judge. When every thing was ready and Wrinkle was about to give the participants the signal to start devouriDg the pies Git is ru- mored that all had been preparing for the event and had not tasted food for four days) Hyman HOrWitz set up tremendous howl. When things were somewhat uuieted down by this out break it was learned what the trouble was It appears that N. E. Mag had suddenly taken a keen liking to the luscious blackberry pie that HOrWitz had been guarding with almost father ly care. Now Mag decided that 1n order to secure a portion of the pas try he must use strategy. He ap- preached TIOrWitz and eXcitedly told the latter that a SiXtecn-fOOt Sharh had been captured in the lake and was being hauled towards them. Lyman looked. It was when he turned back to the place where his precious DIG had been a few seconds previous that he let out his yell. His pie which he had been guarding so Vigilantly was ivy l, icto seen the willy MT. Mag sitting on a rock toting it. Quiet was restored only when Horwitz was furnished with another pie. Wrinkle gave the signal and the foul, pie eaters were off in an instant. KekimOWi finished first and Horwitz was a close second.
 The following took part in a race around the lake: Kennedy, RabinO- witz, Schupack, Gorfain, Shapiro, w. C. Raphael A. Kolodney and E. Hor- witz. A. Kolodney finished first, Shupacl< second, while William Ra- phael was third.
 In the hundred yard dash for young ladies, Miss Edith Pouzzner won, de- feating Miss Sarah Rosenberg, Miss Sophie Weinberg and Miss Minnie Kennedy
 The fat WCmans race was captured DV MISS keDecCa hGunouy. HostletlI Rosenberg dem Onstratcd that she is a runner of no mean ability when she easily outran Miss Clara DuboWy and Miss Rudman in a fifty yard dash. Hiss Dora Chernaik was matched against Clara Dubowy, Miss Chernalk winning by a few feet.
 A race to decide the supremacy among the married women was held Mrs. Menus, Mrs. Mag, Mrs. Levy and Mrs. Solomon opposing each other, Mrs Menus winning. Mrs. Levy entered protest, saving that it was unfair that two short women should be matched against two tall women and so an- other contest was arranged between her and Mrs Mag. Mrs. Levy won by a yard after an exciting dash. Edward Rachlin captured the married mems 120 yard dash, defeating Mesken, Goldberg and Birnbaum Suitable prizes were awarded for each event
