Westfield writes a weekly page detailing social visits and Local events. Mrs. G. B. Main Hosts Ladies Aid. 4-H clubs meet June 21. anniversaries and funerals fill the week with guests from Sioux City, Akron, Blair, and Morrisons. A weekend trip to Pocahontas and Lake Okoboji appears among the notes.
Special Correspondence reports the 50th anniversary of the Congregational church in Westfield attended by Mr and Mrs Clarence Hummel and family. The piece also covers visits in Minneapolis Des Plaines and Palatine, a sister’s wedding, birthday celebrations, and a late-season baseball game where Akron defeated Canton with notable plays by the Dirks and Hartman families.
Akron built a 18 to 3 lead with three fourth inning runs aided by Canton errors and solid hits from Miller Harmon and B Tucker. Canton answered briefly with three fourth inning runs and Miller later added a three bagger in fifth as Moore and Bob Tucker extended hitting streaks. Box score shows Akron 18 Canton 3 with Akron errors contributing to Canton’s woes, and notable plays include Miller’s triple and Tucker’s third straight hit roll into three runs.
A brief game summary notes Peck driving in runs with Tucker and Moore contributing. Harmon, Vanderloo, Dirks add small RBI totals as the Register-Tribune lists umpires R McCarthy and R Brown with F as a contact line. The fragment hints at a local score update and a promotion to “Try it” for better results.
