There was all kinds of class in the baseball game with which opposing bunches of married men and single men entertained a howling multitude at Recreation park last Sunday afternoon, the multitude paying $20 net for the experience. The rooters were far more attractive than the game itself, one bunch being a choice collection of the most charming married ladies of the city and the other a bevy of beautiful debutantes. The game was hotly, almost fiercely, contested, and the married men won out with a score of 8 to 5.

The dedication services for the Westminster Presbyterian Church will be held at the regular hour of church services Sunday morning. The Rev. W.A. Major, D.D., of Seattle will give the address.

A funny thing happened in the shower to Bud (Dr. E.A.) Strom the other day... Bud, who summers at Guemes, was in the basement shower of the dental clinic when he became aware of rapid footsteps and he peeked out in time to see Dr. Ray Pinson rushing out with a fire extinguisher. A fire? Oh yeah! Except it was in Bud’s Kharman Ghia parked in the lot and nobody knew how to raise the hood to extinguish it.

The Seafarers Memorial monument, now located just west of the city’s commercial fishing fleet in Cap Sante Boat Haven, will find a new home at South Harbor Park.
