HONOR TEAM IT SO. MOT Big Event is Held at Y. M. C. 9 A.--New Home for Asso- “ ciation Discussed SOUTH AM BOV. MaJ 5.—The lo- j» cal P. R. R. Y. M. C. A. laat night ESI honored the -Jr. O. IT. A. M. repre- HI tentative bowling team, that ao euc- gg cessfully won the coveted position n» in the Y. M. C. A. Bowling League 6? of the season of 1921-1922. and in QS addition *et a pace that will lie ex- fig ceptionaily hard for other aggrega- gjj tlons to follow by their remarkable S showing of the season. pH Despite the inclement weather al- S3 ^^nost one hundred members and H I^Hlend* gathered to watch the lion- j§ players receive the tokens S from the hands of Secretary Rev. ESQ A. A. Mell. Rev. Mr. Mell address- S3 ed the members of the victorious ra team in glowing terms, wherein he g9 described the victors as superior in Eg strength and In courage to any of E« the tea^ns that comprised the Y. gs Jd. C. A. league. The prizes awarded this season 5) Were in the form of sweaters, with Eg the letter "Y” in a four inch cut, ^ With S. A. nn either. Those that g9 comprise the team were Donald and Rfl Fletcher Hoffman, H. Anderson, g Kugene Thomas and Milton Fox. The high scorer for the season. J. ESQ Horton Curlew also received a gc tweater. J;' The aecretary, during the presen- gS tatlon speech, described the triangle which is emblamatic of the "Y”, &u stating that the three corners signi- m fled the teaching of the association: RS The body, spirit and the mind. H A musical program previously ar- E» ranged, could not be carried out due Is to the fact that the troupe engaged «j from the Juniors was unable to at- H tend. Mr. Mell, however, carried on gS a lengthy program with the clever gg team of Hoffman and Mason, who gj] succeeded in keeping their listeners in an uproar during the best part RS of twenty minutes. BJ Delightful refreshments were pre rented during the course of the eve- gfl ning, in charge of a very active By committee especially selected for the Rfl occasion. Toward the close of the evening’s gj program, Mr. Mell made a plea for B additional membership, in which he §9 enumerated the many assets the Y. RS C. A. of this city boasts of. The g| j^Bcretary. who is well known for his ^Wratorical ability, pictured the pos- Rj sibilities of a very near future, in J0 which he hinted at a T. M. C. A. gt on Broadway and expressed the hope B cf It being a Chase memorial. The gS property which the secretary had in H mind I* the site now occupied by j§ D. C. Chase, adjoining the I’resby- gj terian manse. This is a coveted site ® and has in the past attracted aulte gfl a numher of real estate men who 3 were anxious to annex this beautiful 9 site as a magnet for the establish- 2? inent of a great theatre. The plan R< it has since become known, has & tailed, and the hopes of the secre- g tary are brightened with the thought & that it some day will become a home S< for the Y. M. ft. A. The evening's program was con- B eluded with a quartet selection, ra composed of Harry Macholl, Frank Sj Goraminger, Harold G. HofTman and S J. Arthur Ingraham. Several side splitting recitations by Frank Gom- £ mlpger, sent the audience home feel- H ing that they had shared the honors B due th,e members of the Junior gj Bowling team. The Y. M. C. A. at the present E£ time is conducting a man to man 0 campaign for additional member- B ship. It has been reported that PS membership to the “Y” of this city gS could only come by being connected g with railroad activities. The sec- 0 retary is anxious to right this im- ® pression and has extended an invl- it tatlon to all the men and boys of 3 the city to join the ranks of what £ is hoped to be one of the largest 3 active bodies of the city.
