the realtors,
with worries
Dick Baker off their minds
are ready to play again. They
played yesterday to the last let,
ter fthe word.
Even the old timers-big
timers too-were there. Some Of
them were too cautious to par
take Of the refreshments provided
by Christian Heurich's refresh
ment committee, but they were
there just tn esame.
Randall Hagner, Walter A. Brown
and Allison Miller surprised
everyone by being there. In the
first place. the younger realtors
seemed to think their older
brethren had outgrown such af-
fairs and in the second place
they feared the threatening
weather earlier in the day might
have frightened the oldsterS away
from the outing.
But whoever heard of a little
bit Of wind soaring realtor?
President Arthur Houghton was
kept busy all day-so engaged in
fact was he that he was compelled
to keep to the upper terraces OF
the club house at Annapolis Roads
-greeting the members and
guests.
The guest list was an imposing
one, including E. A. Dent, District
surveyor; Dorsey w. Hyde, jr, Sec
retary Of the Chamber of Com.
merce; Robert j. Cottrell, Secre.
tary to the Board of Trade; Col.
John w. Oehmann, and Capt.
Hugh P. Dram, of the Building In
spector Department; Capt. H. c.
Whitehurst, of the Highway De
partment, and c. r. Alley, E. K.
Allen, Carl j. Bergman, Thomas
M. Cahil, w. M. Chance, Gerald
Griffin, Chester Jacobs, Charles A.
Jones, Clifford Lanham, James v.
Newton, Calvin c. LAUDER, Ray
Roberts. Ray Smythe, c.. M. Tow
erS, and w. j. Voss.
OF course, with a police escort
: the realtors made it to ANNAPOLIS
Roads without mishap. The base
ball game between the builders
and brokers got off simultaneously
with the horseshoe pitching con
test and golf tournament.
The baseball game was the most
unusual affair of the day. Capt,
Morris Cafritz was head herds.
man for the builders and Capt.
James Salkeld for the brokers.
Both had their hands full.
Robert Montgomery and Eddie
Carr started as pitchers for the
builders and brokers respectively.
The substitutes who later an.
peared could not be enumerated
in this column, but Garfield Kass
for the builders and Fred Berens
for the brokers managed to stay
in catcher's position during most
Of the game.
Now for the score. It was feared
at O. late hour last night the play.
erS would have difficulty in ex.
planning the score to their bosses
who allowed them to make the
"a souting so for the benefit of the
latter the score was 9 to 8 at the
end Of the game. There was still
plenty Of light in which to play
off the tie, but the players were
thirsty and tired so they retired
to the clubhouse and Captains
Cafritz and Salkeld flipped a coin
to decide the winner. According.
ly, by the flip of a coin the brok.
erS (maybe it was the builders)
won the score Of 10 to 8.
Uncalled-for disorder was
strangely absent and the rulings
Of Umpires Raymond Taylor and
Herbert Harvey were accepted
without serious riots.
The Washington Times Tro
phieS-National League baSeballs
were presented to the individual
members Of the winning team.
Jack Weldon won the Herald
Trophy in the swimming contest.
The water was not very deep
where the meet was held and this
rgave rise to the complaint of some
of the spectators that Mr..
Weldon had possibly given him.
self an extra push with his feet,
but the claim could not be proven.
