negotiated the distance of 100 yards in fourteen and one-fifth seconds.

Other races were: 220 yards, 440 yards, 880 yards, one mile, three miles and two motorcycle races, which were hair raising contests. These events alone were well worth the price of admission.

We make this suggestion: If Judge Harvey ever comes to you with tickets, just get out your wallet and come across. He is among our best sellers. Erother A Veit made a special trip from Baltimore to get in the game.

We had about 2,600 pounds of good solid beef ready for the tug-of-war against all comers, but could get no team to accept our challenge. The committee deserves the thanks of the members for their efforts to make the affair a success.

The final handsome silver loving cup brought the Elevator Constructors and Electricians on the field, and as the rivalry between the two is very keen, they were some little time in deciding on the officials. At last, after allowing the Electricians to pick the umpires, the game began, with our boys at bat, the other team winning the toss. And like every good job should start by getting material, we started right in and got three runs in the first inning. However the electricians were not to be denied, and came back in their half with the same number; but after that we had our templets set and lines down, and how our boys lined base hits (not rails, remember), good solid drives, and piled up nine runs, it was a sight to see. They sure kept the outfielders and pitcher working overtime so much that when they came to bat they were all in, and only two men reached first base after their first inning, so the game ended 9 to 3 in favor of the Elevator Constructors.

To say that any one or two of our boys featured would be an injustice to the others. Every one done the proper thing at the right time; hit and run, bunt. steal and squeeze play were all pulled off, and it's too bad they aren't representing the American

League in our fair city instead of the Athletics. They sure showed the 6,000 spectators that were in the massive motordrome some baseball.

It is not too much to say that Brother Storey Green, who was our manager, kept the boys from stage fright in front of such a big crowd by his coaching at first base, and we know by the sound of his voice at the finish he won't do much shouting up the hatch for the next few days.

The line-up: F. Isard, 2b; R. Crowley, 3b; A Viet, lf; G. Southcott, ss; C. Herman, 1b; H. Schueman, rf; F. Bell, cf; W. Graham, c; C. Schueman, p.

Besides the above, Manager Green had Brother F. Lynch for a pinch hitter should he be needed; also Judge Harvey warming up with F. Conrad in the bull pit.

Business Agent R. Smith and Davy Neal, who have been acting as scouts for the past couple of weeks, had some good subs on the side lines. They even tried to ring in Brothers Frank Feeney and F. Schneider, but as ball players we tied the can on them long ago. It would be well to mention that several of our boys rooting in the grandstand helped considerable. After all is said and done, rooters and play ers worked like one, and so again we were victorious and the handsome loving cup will be on exhibition in one of our large stores for a few weeks, after which any out-of-town brothers can see it when they pay Local No. 5 a visit.

As the correspondent was official scorekeeper he hadn't much time to root, so busy was he marking down runs and hits. Brother Jas Farrell was water boy and was kept busy keeping our team supplied.

Local No. 5.

PITTSBURGH, PA.

To the Editor:

The heavier the storm the more sport the boys of No. 6 have. Such was the case at our annual outing on

ANNUAL OUTING OF LOCAL No. 6, I. U. E. C. OF PITTSBURGH, PA. AUGUST 5, 1916.

August 5. There was a lot of modern, up-to-date elevators completed and put in operation on that date in the Pittsburgh district and other places in the world. The second annual outing of Local No. 6 was a grand success from start to finish. The storm in the afternoon chased the crowd to cover, but did not lessen the pleasure of the day, for it gave the boys an opportunity of getting acquainted with their families and also with the other fellows' families.

Our genial business agent, H. D. Rowan, handled the indicator at the ball games; those hazy decisions were occasioned by the cloud of soft smoke from the pipe. Barney Dreyfus missed the chance of his life by not having some of his scouts on the job. We know if he had, Pike, Schultz, Millman, Born and some of the other youngsters that performed on the ball field there would be no doubt of bringing the National League pennant to Pittsburgh this fall.

We take our hats off to Brothers Knorr and Diley when it comes to amateur surgical work. We would suggest that they give the same amount of attention to a brother's bunged fist as to a lady's sprained ankle, but, like regular physicians, they'd rather hold a lady's foot than a man's hand any time.

Brother Lighthill forgot his high water boots, so refused to make the balloon ascension in his bare feet. He had a "hunch" that the air was full of cross currents.

Brother Kidney was as loose as ashes and twice as dusty on the "slack wire." He's an alright kid in his palm beach. Chairman of the committee, E. S. Breidinger, "The Weiner King," was there with a nine-year pair of trousers. We wonder how an elevator man can wear pants for nine years, but we wondered more why he had two safety pins on one pocket. He didn't have the committee's money, so we are permitted to surmise that he expected another date morning.

Sunday

Brother "Officer" McKenna out

shone himself in handling unruly arguments, so much so that "Police Judge" J. Ulrich had the lightest day of his life. Hoppy worked the night before, so got out too late to make the high dive.

Brother Johnston refused to build any elevators, but he was caught in the act of expressing a few of "Kelly's ideas."

The heavy rain in the afternoon made the races short, but some good time was made. Miss S. S. Sweitzer won the ladies' race (free for all). Mrs. Guier won the fat womans' race. Mrs. Dunn will be in the same race for at least a month. She was winner half way down the course, but turned two ankles on the home stretch and is finishing with splints. Mrs. Thomas Allen won the second ladies' race (free for all). Mrs. Glenn Hopkins won the ladies' race (married women only). Mrs. Krone won the prize for married and single women race. Miss Olive Diley won the prize in the young ladies' race. Mrs. L. Porter, first prize (married women only). Miss Dorothy Allen, girls under 8 years, first prize.

Miss Ella Bracey, girls under 8 years, second prize.

Miss Florence Hopkins, girls 8 to 16 years, first prize.

Miss Phylis Allen, girls under 6 years, first prize.

Mr. B. I. Burkhart, Jr., boys 10 to 16 years, first prize.

Mr. H. Goldby, men (free for all), second prize.

Among some of the brothers who were conspicuous by their absence we noticed B. I. Burkhart and Geo. Soy, who are saving their money for Palm Beach suits for Labor Day. Brother Wm. Young had to stay home and bug potatoes. It's tough luck this suburbanite business on picnic day.

In the guessing contest Brother Hatfield won the "lemon" on his guess of eighteen ounces. The brother refused to accept his prize. Mrs. Rowan won the monkey in the ladies' guessing contest.

Marion Kidney won both boxes of candy in the little girls' guessing contest. Miss Phylis Allen a box of gum, and Master Horace Erbeck the coin for the boys.

Dave Dyer and P. E. Cryder had their pictures taken. We expected the camera to explode, but on account of the cloudy weather the camera was safe.
