Fensom Elevator Works baseball team loses
The 3 August 1903 edition of the Globe details how the Brotherhood of St Andrew and St Philip baseball team of St Cooke’s Presbyterian Church defeated the Fensom team 10-4 at Bayfront Park. Cooke’s was one of the most important Orange churches in the city, and its ability to field a baseball team illustrates the Order’s communal influence.
