MEMS BIBLE CLASS Jay
ENJOY OUTING ON
BAY RIDGE SHORE

The Wesley Brotherhood of the
First Methodist Episcopal Church
held a stag outing and basket picnic
at Bay Ridge on last Saturday after
noon The affair was well attended
by the members of the Brotherhood.
The boat left the dock at the foot
of Main street about 2.30 o'clock, with
about as many men on board as it
could carry. Other members of the
organization made the journey to Bay
Ridge in automobiles.
On arrival at the old resort a game
of baseball was the first thing of the
program Two teams were quickly
organized The pastor of the church,
Rev. H. w. ,Burgan, acted as umpire
and only once or twice did serious
trouble threaten because of disputed
decisions The teams played with lots
of pep" and the game was mostly
characterized by baserunning. The
final score was 16 to 10. Messrs
Doan and Hemke were the winning
battery and Major Riley and Irving
Brown the losing battery. Brown
made a couple of Babe Ruth" hits.
The feature of the game was perhaps
the double steal engineered by ]. Nj.
Armstrong and his son Edward. 1t
was a merry contest.
Following the game the members
of the Brotherhood engaged in swim
ming, bathing and Grabbing. Messrs
Rippere, Burgan and Clancy caught
the largest number of crabs. A fire
was then built on the beach and sup
per was prepared, consisting of crabs
and coffee, and such dainties as each
man brought with him. The party
left the Ridge about s o'clock, reach
ing Annapolis one hour later. The
outing was pronounced by all who at
tended as a great success.
Yesterday morning most of the men
who were on the outing were present
at the Bible class session, and knew
their lessons all the better for the
afternoons frolic A similar outing
is being planned for the near future
and on this occasion the ladies are
TO be included. The Wesley Brother

AGAIN BEFORE COURT

sociate Judge of the Fifth Judicial
Circuit, held a session of the Equity
Court here today, the case before him
being another angle of the long pro-
tested Remson "Greenbury Point"
mortgage foreclosure litig ton, which
in one form or another, has occupied
the attention of the Court during the
past three or four We RS.
. The point this morning was con-
cerning the alleged default of Fred. B
Rhodes. of Washington, in complying
with the terms of the public sale OF
this property, which took place in
February, 1919. ] Henry Strohmeyer
Of Baltimore, the holder of the $4,000
mortgage under which the lie was
made, claims that Mr.. Rhodes, who
W the purchaser at the figure OF
1900, has failed to complete his
purchase in due course and asked the
Court to order him to forthwith COM
ply or to have a resale It the pur-
chaser's risk. Mr. Rhodes conten-
ton is that Mr.. Strohmeyer, through
his attorney, agreed to a concession
as to the terms of lie and that there
has been no default on that sccount.
The Court held the matter under
advisement and announced that an Or
der would be filed within a few days.

NEW FERRY SCHEDULE
OFFERS CHANCE FOR
TRIP TO OCEAN CITY

The napolis-Claiborne Ferry line.
today inaugurated the summer sched-
ule of the steamer Emerson c. Har-
rington, operating between the East
ern and Western shores of the State.
No additional trips have been put on
the schedule. but the hours of arrival
at, and departure from, the two
points. have teen changed to times
that are deemed more convenient to
the pleasure-seeking public.
Under the new schedule the Har-
rington will leave Annapolis for the
across-the-b -bay-runs at 8 O'Clock in
the morning and $50 in the afternoon
and returning will leave Claiborne at
10 a. M and p. m. This will be
the daily schedule and it will thus lie
seen that pleasure parties may have
a full day to visit relatives or friends
over on the Shore.
There will be only one trip either
way by the steamer on Sunday. the
schedule calling for the Harrington
to leave Annapolis at 3 O'Clock in
the morning, and leave Claiborne at
7.15 p. nj.
BY a study of the schedule, it will
thus be seen that the service will
offer fine opportunity for weekend
trips to Maryland's only ocean resort.
Ocean City. For instance, persons
taking the $50 boat on Saturday,
could. make train connections at the
resort, by which they would be back
in Annapolis by 8 o'clock Sunday
evening.

WOULD LIFT TRAFFIC
BURDEN ON BOULEVARD
Roads Commission To Consider
Idea Of Diverting Some Of
1t On Upper Section
MACKALL HAS A PLAN

Taking away large port of the
burden of traffic from that part OF the
altimore-Annapolis boulevard. be-
tween the south end of Hanover street
bridge, ltimore, and Glenburnie
this county, which is already over.
burdened, and throwing it to the new
concrete road which starts at Glen
burnie and reaches Baltimore via
Westport and South Baltimore, is the
plan which has been evolved by
Chairman Mackalla of the State Roads
Commission. ta
The road through Westport is little
used because of the number of narrow
and roughly paved streets that mus
be traversed to reach the business
section and it is avoided by motorists
Chairman Mackall proposes to bring
this road into greater use by con-
structing a section from Westport tc
near the angle of the "V'' in the Han
over street bridge. This would in
volve the construction of something
lesss than a mile of road, at a cost OF
about $3O,0O0,' and would relieve
situation that, he said last night, was
rapidly becoming acute.
The formal plan suggested is:
In building the roads within the
city had you anticipated anything
on the point of land formerly in
Baltimore county, between the
Hanover street bridge and the
Westport road? Such a road
would be of immeasurable benefit
TO the State road in Anne Arundel
county. The road from Glenburnie
to Westport is wide, in good con-
dition, and if the entrance to Bal
timore was better would relieve
the present light street ro1d of a
vast amount of traffic, and the
traffic at this time is more than
the road is able to bear without
extensive repairs, and, in the necr
future, reconstruction
BY the construction of road
from the Westport rold to the
Hanover street bridge approach
the traffic going up this road
could still enter Baltimore by the
uncongested Hanover street route
as against the present very con-
gested and unsatisfactory en-
trance by the Westport route.
/ would be glad If you would
look into the mstter and see If
something cannot be done toward
opening a road between these two
very important thoroughfares.
