Orphans' Home Committee Finishes Work in Connection With Benefit. A crowd of 2,300 witnessed the recent benefit ball game between teams representing the Oliver Chilled Plow works and Singer Manufacturing company and the gross receipts were $575. Approximately $550 was cleared, which some will be turned over to the Orphans' home. A committee of the board of lady managers has just completed its work in connection with the ball game and will make its final report at the next meeting of the board on Sept. 12. The report will carry a vote of thanks to the Oliver Field and Athletic association, officials of the Singer works, members of the band and teams, as well as the newspapers, for their help in making the benefit a success. The game was played at Springbrook park Aug. 12. [Would anyone on this list know where Springbrook Park was? I've never heard of this one.---Rick B]
