The count is two and two on the batter as three unidentified women, attending the "vacation camp" being held at Lincoln High School, enjoyed a rousing baseball game in July of 1925. An annual camp, sponsored by the Washington State College extension service, offered western Washington farm women classes to help them manage their homes and farms including courses in cooking and sewing; they had plenty of time for fun too. The women slept on cots in the school gym and used the classrooms for course work and the playfields and pool for recreation. (WSHS) (TNT 7/28/1925, pg. 1)
