THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[Aucus'i i, 1903. 



Although the rain drove most of the visitors, even the golfers, 

 indoors at the first breaking of the clouds, the base ball game 

 between the " Rubbers " and the " Rubouts " was immediately 

 started. The two nines were made up as follows : 



F.RS. RUBOUTS. 



Hood, 2b. Payne, 2b. 



Kelley, c.

The Hon. L. D. Apsley, the president of the Club, waschosen 

 as umpire and his rulings were among the most interesting 

 features of the game. The playing of E. B. Pearson at first 

 base, William J. Kelley's catching, and W. E. Barker's pitching 

 also received special encomium. Very early in the game the 

 rain began again, and at last with reluctance both spectators 

 and players were driven to cover. According to the official 

 score the game stood : Rubbers, 7 ; Rubouts, 1. 



The remainder of the afternoon was spent in social con- 

 verse, in playing pool and pingpong and in absorbing the 

 fine music. At 7 o'clock all were assembled in the banquet 

 hall and facing the beautifully decorated tables. The dinner 

 was most excellent.

During and between the courses the musically inclined in the 

 Club sang popular songs oftentimes very successfully. During 

 a hiatus in the singing President Apsley made a brief speech 

 which he pointed with a story in a rich Hibernian brogue that 

 delighted all hearers. 



After the coffee W. E. Barker, as chairman of the sports 

 committee, announced the prize winners, speaking very hap- 

 pily and drawing pleasant acknowledgments from those for- 

 tunate enough to be thus rewarded. The winners and prizes

 humor.
