Too bad he didn't play
in the Hawaii League

My father, Buster Major, talked a lot about Mickey Major, who is the groom in the wedding story below. I guess it's more accurate to say I heard my father mention Mickey Major's name a lot; I never did get many details except Mickey was considered a very good baseball player. His bride, by the way, is a daughter of the Dennis McLaughlin whose family endured so much misfortune. As for the newlyweds' trip "to Schenectady and other eastern points," I get the impression their honeymoon corresponds with a road trip being taken by Mickey's Auburn baseball team.

Miss Anne McLaughlin Becomes Michael Major's Bride.
Michael Major, the popular left fielder of the Auburn Empire League baseball team, hae joined the ranks of the benedicts, having been united in marriage yesterday afternoon to Miss Anne McLaughlin of Syracuse, daughter of Dennis McLaughlin of Mottville. The ceremony was performed at St. Bridget's church at Skaneateles Falls at 1 o'clock by Rev. T. J. Conway, pastor of the church.

Miss Grace O'Hara of Syracuse, a cousin of the bride, was bridesmaid and James Geherin of this city was beat man.

The bride was charming in a gown of white osprey over white silk.

Mr. and Mrs. Major after a trip to Schenectady and other eastern points will take up their residence in Auburn and their many friends will extend their best wishes for a long and happy married life.

Great things can now be expected from the genial Mickey in the left garden with his bride to watch big performances on the diamond.
