i.MS Hotel, White Plains, New Yc 



FAIR wkather greeted ihe three hundred and lifty rubber men 

 and their guests on Wednesday, July 28, at G«dney Farms 

 Hotel, near White Plains, New York, where the Nineteenth 

 Annual Summer Outing of The Rubber Association of America 

 was held. 



Easily accessible from New York City by train or motor, Ged- 

 ney Farms, with its comfortable modern hotel, beautiful country 

 surroundings, and every facility for sport and recreation. Is an 

 ideal spot for a summer outing. 



The members and guests commenced to arrive by tram or 

 motor as early as 10 o'clock and soon the hotel lobby was filled 

 with a jolly crowd of rubber men who had forgotten business in 

 a day's outing where good fellowship reigned supreme. 



.\mong the tirst on the grounds were the golfers, who took 

 possession of the 19-hole golf course and the club house, situated 

 on a shady knoll not far from the hotel proper, and provfding 

 every comfort and convenience of a first-class country club. With 

 clear skies and a cool breeze, the ball was driven from the first 

 tee promptly on time and the golf tournament was on. 



The contestants in the tennis tournament were on hand early, 

 also, and occupied the excellent courts adjacent to the hotel. 

 With an entry field of some 25 in the singles and 8 teams in the 

 doubles the day was hardly long enough for the elimination con- 

 tests in singles and doubles and the playing of the prize-winning 

 finish. 



Impromptu contests were soon in progress in the bowling al- 



leys where picked teams representing rubber manufacturers and 

 importers contended for the satisfaction of beating the other 

 fellows. 



The knights of the cue took possession of the billiard room, 

 where match games of billiards and pocket billiards afforded 

 amusement for the devotees of these sports. The adviser-gen- 

 eral was W. G. Kelly, of Poel & Kelly, credited with the inven- 

 tion of kelly pool. 



During the heat of the day the swimming pool was well patro- 

 nized by those aquatically inclined and in the afternoon a water 

 polo match between picked teams afforded amusement for the 

 players and interested spectators. 



Between 1 and 2 p. m. an excellent luncheon was served in the 

 hotel dining hall, accompanied by the latest music and popular 

 songs, led by an efficient jazz band. 



THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT. 



In the inter-firm doubles, the plan of a team of players repre- 

 senting firm members was not followed and the players teamed 

 up as they entered the courts. After the eliminations, the finals 

 were played by the following teams : S. H. Johnson, of J. H. 

 Lane & Co., and H. G. Smith, of the United States Rubber Co.,
