Bay District Hoo Hoo Picnic

Kendall Dell, one of nature's beauty spots situated in the foot-hills of the beautiful Santa Cruz mountains, was the scene of one of the most delightful outings ever given by the Bay District Hoo Hoo on Sunday, August 16. Over 400 people attended the festivities, which included lumbermen and their guests, from practically all sections of Northern California. In a beautiful spot under the shade of the large broad-leaved trees and adjoining the ever running Permanenta Creek, where tables and benches was placed, the gathering sat down to lunch at one o'clock. With the completion of luncheon, the tables and benches were cleared away and the scene was all set for the entertainment program and field events, which were run under the supervision of D. R. Perkins of the San Francisco Y. M. C. A.

The first events were the Rope Jumping Contests' The ladies'event was won by Miss Beatrice DeVries. Ecl. Johnson was the winner of the men's contest, while Teddy Lerch, Jr., captured first prize in the boys' contest.

Kenneth Smith, Jerry Casey, Bill Russell, Walter Medill, Richard G. Hiscox, and Ed. Ivory were the victims selected for the next event. They were led into the large circle, blind-folded and then turned loose, with instructions to locate the fair damsels with the bell and rattler. The ladies didn't have much difficulty in eluding the blind-folded contestants, but after much milling around to the great enjoyment of the crowd, Walter Medill and Jerry Casey finally did make a catch.

Ilomer Langdon, Gus Russell, Harry Gaetjen, E. M. Tilden, Frank Trower, Hugh Handley, Garnet Fraser, and Bob Grant were the contestants in the Balloon Contest. Frank Trower was declared the winner of the first prize, with Hugh Handley carrying off second honors. Gus Russell put a lot of kick into this contest, by getting a lighted cigaiette into action at just about the time the boys had used up all their energy in getting the balloons blown up, making the contest resemble that ever delightful Orpheum vaudeville act entitled, "Somebody Touch."

The Ladies' Hammer and Nail contest brought out a large field of entries, but Mrs. J. Walter Kelly proved too efficient for the rest of the field and won first as far as from here to there. Mrs. A. J. Nolan was the rvinner of the second prize.

Beauty Contest

One of the big events of the afternoon was the Beauty Contest. Special judges were appointed for the awarding of these prizes, and Bill Beebe chairman of the Beauty Contest Committee, used rare judgment when he selected Gus Russell, Ed. Chamberlin, and Kenneth Smith for this job. These three handsome gentlemen, adorned with their elaborate badges, had a bevy of "Beauties" to select from, b_ut finally annbunced Miss Barbara Kelly, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Walter Kelly, and Miss Margaret Roth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Roth, two lovely little children, as winners of the contest. Barbara Tilden, the beautiful little daughter of Mr. arid Mrs. Waverly Tilden of Oakland, and Mrs. Louis A. Godard, together with several other of the contestants, were also arvarded prizes.

Following the Beauty Contest, was the Ladies' Novelty. Race. This event was won by ${iss Irene Wilson, with

Mrs. Walter Medill second. The winners.in the Fat Men's Novelty Race, known as the Fox-Trot, were Garnet Fraser, Kenneth Smith and Milt Conklin.

The entries for the Fat Men's Race brought out Kenneth Smith, Milt Conklin, Hugh Handley, Garnet Fraser, Ted [-erch, Walter Medill, D. P. O'Connell, Bob Grant, Frank Parker, and Harry Gaetjen. Owing to the large field of entries, it was necessary to run this race off in two heats. The final heat was run off by Kenneth Smith and Ted Lerch, and to decide the winner they had to run twice, the first trial being a dead heat. Kenneth Smith was finally awarded the first prize, crossing the tape just abollt an inch ahead of Ted Lerch.

The last running event lt'as the Fat Ladies' Race and was won by Mrs. A. J. Nolan from a large field of entries.

The last event on the field day program was the tug-ofwar between two teams captained by Jerry Casey and Harry Cahalan. For the first rninttte, this developed into a hot contest, but during the second minute Harrv Cahalan's huskies hit the skids and Jerry Casey's gang were the winners.

San Francisco Beats Oakland

The next event was the baseball game between the Hoo Hoo teams representing San Francisco and Oakland. San Francisco was represented on the field by Art Hiscox. third base; Reg Smith, shortstop; Forrest Wilson and Jimmie Atkinson, pitcher; Pat Sublett and Forrest Wilson. first base; Joe Cuneo, catch; Bob Gehring and Walter Kelly, left field; Ed. Johnson, second base, and F. Bock, right field. The Oakland line-up was as follows: Tom Bronson. second base; Bacon, third base; C. Terrell, first base; Rod Hendrickson, pitcher; Stapleton, left field; P. Terrell, short-stop ; Charlie Wood, catcher; Henry Wills, center field, and Phillips, right field.

The Oakland team got the jump on the San Francisco team, as Rod Hendrickson was displaying as much stuff on the ball as Walter Johnson, but in the fourth inning he lost his stuff and backed up by some rather erratic fielding, the San Francisco crowd stepped out in front and were never headed off again. The fielding event of the game was a snappy double play by Art Hiscox and Forrest Wilson. Rod Hendrickson, and Forest Wilson who had a home run to his credit, carried off the batting honors. The final score was San Francisco 15, Oakland 13.
