Rivals Club Outing Ends With Boat Incident and Political Jibes
A Rivals club gathering at Jermacher’s picnic grounds produced a day of famous pranks and a boat mishap. Supt.

The voyage home saw a boat engine fire and a brief panic, while guests included Warden Murphy and Congressman Snapp amid a list of dozens of club members.
