The Dartmouth Club of Detroit entertained the Dartmouth Club of Northern Ohio (chiefly Cleveland), on June 26 in Detroit and the vicinity. The visitors, twenty-five strong, arrived by boat Saturday morning, were taken on a motor drive around Detroit and Grosse Pointe, and at noon crossed into Canada. Luncheon was held at the Island View Inn, about eight miles east of Windsor on the Canadian shore, and there were plenty of old-fashioned refreshments.
Detroit trimmed Cleveland at baseball, approximately 9 to 2, chiefly because of the fact that the Detroit Association turned out forty strong, and had five or six former varsity men present. Substitutions, however, were made after the first inning, and by the fifth inning the third team was representing this fair city. The Cleveland pitchers, whenever they were able to locate the home plate, were easy for the Detroit sluggers. After the game the entire mob enjoyed a swim in the Detroit river, just below Lake St. Clair, and adjourned to a supreme fish and chicken roadhouse dinner.
