December 15, 1936 - The Chattanooga News (Chattanooga, Tennessee) - Elberfeld Girls Play Badminton
Sisters Uphold Elberfeld Name
Misses Nan, Edith and Mrs. Overmyer Sweep Badminton.
The athletic name of Elberfeld was held high by the female members of family during the first annual News-Y. W. C. A. badminton tourney finished at the Y. W. Saturday.
Mrs. Don Overmyer, formerly Miss Ruth Elberfeld, won first place in the singles competition; Miss Nan Elberfeld trimmed her sister Miss Edith Elberfeld for the consolation prize in that division; and Mrs. Overmyer and Miss Nan won the doubles division.
ALL Of THE GIRLS are daughters of the noted Norman (Kid) Elberfeld, former Chattanooga manager and big league baseball player, who is known wherever sports are played. The "Tobasco Kid" was a great sports institution, especially in the South.
At one time the girls comprised a basket ball team almost among themselves and were hard to beat. The Elberfeld girls are good tennis players and among the city's leading swimmers and golfers. Truly, the athletic prestige of the Elberfeld name was well taken care of during the badminton meet and it went a long way toward making the tourney a success.
