Friday, January 27, 1922

Beautiful, bright, cold day. Arose 7:30 A.M. Read paper etc. Out on business. Dinner. Worked and delivered in P.M. Out to Uncle John's to call. Stayed to supper. Bowled with Church League. Home. To bed 11 P.M.

The paper that Stanford was no doubt reading, the Schenectady Gazette, carried the notice of upcoming bowling matches to be held that evening. Stanford was probably a member of the First Methodist League. They were to play against Trinity Lutheran at the Star Alleys. Stanford doesn't give us the scores or tell who won, so we'll have to wonder. Below is the piece about the bowling leagues. The other leagues are kind of interesting. I wonder who bowled in the Theatrical League--workers at those theaters? And what about the Liberty League? Maybe that was just a city league with people from all over.

Below is an excerpt from the front page that day--what Stanford must have read that morning. The front page articles are interesting in their similarity to the news of today: Democrats vs. Republicans and police brutality. Not much changes, I'm afraid.
