Fifty members of the Luther Memorial church Men's Brotherhood enjoyed an evening outing at Ed King's farm near Melrose chapel. They traveled by automobile, ate lunch, and played a friendly baseball game with improvised team names. Fred Mueller and Dr. Phillips starred in plays, Rueben Weeks and Charles Cordisman excelled in base running, and umpire Fred Hoelscher was mobbed over disputed calls. Final score read 16 to 15 for one side. Ice cream and cake followed at the King residence.
