The Weekly Florists' Review* 



RIVERTON, N. J. 



The base ball matcb between the 

 married versus single men of the pick 

 of the Dreer greenhouse staff, much 

 talked of and speculated upon, took 

 place on the afternoon of the ;lth. And 

 by the way, I may be allowed to re- 

 mark the Dreer company by granting 

 on Saturday afternoons during the 

 summer months respite from the ,wish 

 of the hose and tap tap of the pot 

 upon the bench, express sympathies 

 which are not lost upon the boys. 



'Tis amusing to watch the move- 

 ments of some, particularly the Bene- 

 dicts, usually so sedate, as becomes 

 them, now full of spirit, notwithstand- 

 ing that they had frequent rec3ur^e to 

 the water bucket for a bracer to stand 

 up against the young bucks who were 

 out for blood and showed by the re- 

 sult of the game the kind of stuff 

 they are made of. 



Of the Benedicts. Frank Betz struck 

 the finest postures. Joe Schul'?r made 

 a dandy pitcher, was a trifle wild, 

 which is contrary to his nature. When 

 he handed the ball to John Ruppert. 

 my. how the fur did fly. No home runs 

 on John's pitching. 



Chas. Stratton gracefully yielded to 

 Harry Lloyd, one of our fleetest sprint- 

 ers, and, speaking of sprinting, it did 

 me good to see Hillson making what 

 he thought was a home run. He missed 

 his pacer Harry Mur])hy. Jas. Flynn 

 made the highest number of .-uus and 

 Henry Rice was an ideal catcher. I 

 hardly recognized in Lucas an old time 

 sport. 



The unmarried boys, headed by 

 Harry Sim. did themselves proudly. 

 Should you meet Harry slightly dis- 

 abled when he calls upon you ip m his 

 next trip, he will explain he is the lat- 

 est addition to the ranks of the noble 

 army of drummers, 



Carhart eclipses many professionals 

 as catcher, and he's a sprinter also. 

 Roy Fister was the only man who 

 dazzled the pitcher. Jack Flynn, of 

 whom we are proud. Thompson at- 

 tributed his success to his sunset hair, 

 which is our Mascot since Hermann 

 Weber's yellow dog breathed its last. 



Watkins is a strong type of the 

 sturdy Canadian, an all round athlete, 

 contrasting strongly with our f.even- 

 foot umpire, Pat Finlan, who kept all 

 howling at arm's length.
