Boxing is to Come Into It’s Own
Among Hospital Men.
“Zowie.”
“Right in the mouth.”
These are a few of the ejacula
tions which will echo among the ward
buildings of the base hospital soon.
Boxing is to be given a complete try
out. An arena is being prepared back
of the detachment barracks row.
Bouts between men of the detachment
and between mit artists in the camp
will become regular affairs. It is plan
ned to charge a small fee for front
seats and to divide the proceeds be
tween the glove warriors.
GET THEM TOGETHER.
Private Torrello and Private Dono
van are understood to be the best mit
wielders in the outfit and naturally
one’s thought turns to the staging of
this pair. It certainly would he a
great drawing card and “standing
room only” would bf in vogue when
they get together. Hi th are fine boys'
and have scores of friends that believe
in their respective ability. Top of
this bout with a couple oi prelims,
and “Oh, what a night it would be.”
A committee has been appointed to
see this through and the members
of the detachment have a big surprise
in store tor them.
TWILIGHT LEAGUE.
Dewey O’Connor is let ding the
movement to re-enstate volley ball as
a pastime for the detachment men.
He is trying to arouse interest in an
,nter-barracks twilight league. He >.o
seeking captains for such teams from
iach barracks.

BASEBALL
This leader of outpoor sports has
been revived at the hospital. Owin.g
to the fact that the Government has
taken over our old field for building
the inter-harracks league
But with the laying out of a new
field in the rear of the b.arracks thi.^
sport will soon be placed on a Ann
basis. This fact was proven last Sat
urday afternoon when the strong Med
ical Supply Depot team was defeated
by an eleventh hour team from tli3
hosiiital. The score was 13 to 5,
which goes to show that our bovs
haven’t lost their batting eyes by" any
means. The game was full of excite
ment from beginning to end and the
final result was quite a surprise to the
Supply hoys. They are clamoring for
another game and one wjll be ar
ranged for some time this week. The
surprise of the game was a successful
steal of second base with the bases
full. This was attempted by Levine
and through a series of wild throws
resulted in two runs.
The pitching of Roberts and of a
stinging two-bagger with tjyo men on
bases by Lange were also outstanding
features.
We have a wealth of material foi
a championship team and if the hoys
"dll only come out and get into the
game there is no doubt but what we
will be able to defeat the best teams.
We have plenty of equipment and ^
there Is anything lacking we can get
R. We are anxious to arrange games
with any teams in the camp, the Y.

Corporal “Bob” Martin for several
years played on tne line for the
^Academy’s crack professional outfit in
New Haven, Conn. The team was
always a runner-up for the champion
ship and Martin was considered one
of the mainstays of the team. He
also played a brilliant game of base
ball.
S.ergeant Hages is quite proficient in
wrestling and while at Fort Riley,
Kansas, was rated as one pf the best.
