Manchester Unity Odd Fellows and
Odd Ladies, together with invited guests
to the number of about 100 strong, as
sembled at Dewey park Saturday after
noon for the annual joint outing and
picnic. Although the present conditions
| tended to make the attendance slightly
lower than that of events of this nature
| in years past, one Of the most pleasing
and successful outings was enjoyed by
the members of the two orders, and it
was with great deal of reluctance that
most Of the pienickers left the park late
in the afternoon. Special cars over the
| suburban road accommodated the crowd.
After the dinner, the interest conferred
on the field events Of the day and 1t was
with an unusually large amount of in
| terest that the events were carried out.

while the responsibility of Judging the

win Keast and William Stephen. The

After the various field events the cen
ter of attraction lay in the baseball
arena, in which the annual game between
the married and the single men was hot
| ly contested. 1t was only after an extra
inning of play that the final outcome
could be decided, so close was the score
throughout the nine innings, the mar
ried men finally trouncing their younger
opponents by the score of Is to 10.
Charles oliver and Edwin Keast held
down the battery positions Of the bene-
idiots and so well did they uncork some
of the brand of baseball that had great
deal to do with placing the Westerly
| team pu bHG kuptbdlA III hut hNo VI

their opponents were unable TO touch
their delivery for scarcely hit For the
| fledglings, Arthur Blackmore occupied
the hurting mound, while Harold oliver
did the receiving. Throughout the game
not murmur was heard from the spec
tators concerning the decisions of the
umpires, John Kennedy and Sidney Kidd
alternating in giving the decisions fairly,
in spite of the interest in the outcome Of
the affair The young partly retrieved
themselves in the after event and defeat
ed their elders by the score Of to 2 in
an exciting game Of soccer football
