Garden City the Scene of the Latest Baseball Game Between the Wholesale and Retail Forces
of Aeolian Co.—Unusually Warm and Humid Weather Prevented the Game Being as Inter-
esting as That Played in Tarrytown Recently, but All Present Enjoyed the Outing.
Garden City, L. I. was the scene- of the latest
battle royal between the athletic members of the
retail and wholesale staffs of the Aeolian Co.'s
forces, which occurred on Saturday last. It was a
happy party that boarded the train at the Penn-
sylvania station at 12.59, and they were just as
their joints, and announced that they were ready
for the battle. And maybe they weren't ready?

happy when they returned to America later in the
day. The wholesale department and retail mixed
•it up again. The score was large and one-sided,
with the wholesalers on the long end. Out of con-
sideration for the tender feelings of the retail de-
partment we won't publish the actual figures.

pecially Brother Stroup, when he is trying to beat
out a three-base hit. He's there.
The batteries were, for the retail, Mansfield and
first inning was the beginning of the end and the
end was like the beginning. The wholesalers in
their half of the first piled up a lead of ten runs
and right there is where they lassooed the retailers'
"goat" and took it into camp. You have to hand it
to that retail "bunch," though, they sure are a
bunch of scrappers and they fought right straight
through to the limit. No use, however, the whole-
salers were there with the wallop, and the way
they trotted around the bases was disheartening—
to the other side. Even "Governor Bogert" and his
megaphone couldn't stop them.

Suffice to say that the majority held by the whole-
salers was a substantial one.
It was the third game of the season and the
rubber game. Both teams were out to win the
odd one. The retailers took the field for first prac-
tice, and of all the snappy ball playing you ever
story. We show a clever little party of "fairnesses"
in one of the pictures. It is said that they were not
at all fussy about which side they rooted for, just so
long as they were allowed the privilege of making
a noise. Then there 'is Assistant Treasurer Jos.
Forshay; for the wholesale, Velsey and Kelly.
With the retail, Hibshman, Alesbury, Fay, Lau-
rino, Decker, Neel, and Bischoff formed the bal-
ance of the team. In the wholesale, Hull, Wells,
Weber, Mearns, Kuck, Campbell, and Stroup were
the balance. Space will not permit of individual
mention in all cases. It is sufficient to say that they
were all right up on their toes and playing the
game all the way.
Nearly the whole party met at the Pennsylvania
station and traveled to Garden City via the Penn-
sylvania railroad. The crowd was not nearly as
large or as enthusiastic as attended the Tarrytown
game two weeks ago. There was a reason, though,,
and the weather was the reason. It was actually so
hot that the slightest move left an uncomfortable
feeling. The St. Paul School grounds, where the
game was played, are better than the average. The
surrounding scenes are truly beautiful and it cer-
tainly is an ideal spot for a day's outing.
