THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[August 1, 1912. 



The Rubber Club of America 



THOSE who know the Rubber Club of America need not be 

 told, but other members of the rubber and allied trades 

 may not know so well, that when this club has an outing 

 there is always something doing. There certainly was a great 

 deal doing on Tuesday, July 16, when the club held its annual 

 outing at Peddock's Island, in Boston harbor. This island was 

 chosen by the committee because it combined all the advantages

necessary for success. In the first place it was twenty degrees 

 cooler than Boston's thermometric attempts to sun-strike the 

 population. Second : there was a good baseball field, and near 

 it a comfortable covered observation stand. Third : there were 



manly officers of the coast artillery, the welcome they gave the 

 rubber men, the cool sea breezes, the absence of flies and mos- 

 quitoes, the surf-bathing facilities, and other things too numer- 

 ous to mention. 



At 1 :30 p. m. the steamer "S. S. Griswold" started for a trip 

 down Boston harbor with 150 members of the club and their 

 guests. The band played, and the excursionists cheered. The 

 hot streets and humid air were left behind, and the salt sea-air 

 and ozone made the trip a delightful one. In an hour the land- 

 ing was made at Peddock's Island, where the company headed 

 by the band marched to the ball ground, where the "Red Sox" 

 and the "Giants" were soon pitted against each other for the 

 mastery. 



Here are the personnel of the two teams, and the score of the

 beach with plenty of seaweed, clams, lobsters and rocks for the 

 proper concoction of a clambake. Fifth: but why enumerate 

 further? For these are enough without counting the gentle-

 brilliant plays, Lampie's catch and double play perhaps being 

 the most sensational. Only five innings were played, and these 

 were voted fully enough for "gentlemen players."
