THE CADUCEUS.
SINEWS AND SCIENCE
JOSEPH LAWLER, WENDELL ROBERTS, J. K. DALKTJIST.
FOUR FAST BATTLES
ON BOXING SLATE
AT IT AGAIN.
The Hash Sllngers and Dough
Wrestlers met Monday night In the
second game of their series and the
tables were turned this time. Zelzet's
crew came out victorious but it really
was on account of rain. The score
stood 10 to 6 at the end of the sixth,
and Kurtz’ gangsters protested vigor
ously at stopping the game, although
a small sized deluge was very much in
evidence.
One argument after another led to
big stakes being produced ("Sol
Laske wasc the only producer) and
.another game has been arranged for
Doug. Fairbanks for Charlie Chaplin
Monday night. This promises to outdo
Doug. Fairbanks for stunts and Charlie
Chaplin for comedy.
WE HAVE HOPES.
The wlress are burning on a game
with the so-called champions of Camp
Greene. The Aviators have laid claim
t othis honor, but they have got to
beat the Base- Hospital team before
we will admit it. As a result a series
is to be arranged if possible, to be
played on Wearn Field in Charlotte.
Nothing Is getting by us now, and we
are positive that we can beat the best
of them.
WILL FEATURE SWAT FEST
ARENA BEING REARED FOB MON
DAY NIGHT SHOW.
The entire detachment is keyed up
with interest in the opening exhibit
of the “manly art” which is to be
staged on Monday evening. The
arena is being reared, just west of the
barracks row, and prerarations are
being made for an attendance of sev
eral hundred men when the gong
sounds at 8:30 Monday night.
Privates Prank Donovan and Jonn
Terrilo, two of the most clever mid-
dleweights in the camp, will put on
the main contest. They have been on
the training staff of several national
mit artists. They aro both game to
the core and remarkably clever. They
will fight six rounds and nobody is ex
pecting a moment of stalling.
The first preliminary will be be
tween Privates Kramer and Purcell.
For many who have seen these ban
tams in action the opening number
offers the big attraction of the night
of sport.
Two sergeants of base hospital No.
54 will put on the second fight. They
do not care to have their names in
troduced as yet although both are do
ing plenty of road work in prepara
tion.
Tommy Bums and Private Edgely
are to box as the third match. They
are real mixers. It is expected that
Camp Physical Director f the Y. M.
C. A. Bergeman will act as referee
for the evening.
PRIVATE JOHN TERRILO
PRIVATE FRANK DONOVAN
WHO WAS WHO
IN ATHLETICS
MANY SEE RACES.
Delving a bit deeper into the history
of men at the detachment who have
dabbled in athletics we find Pvt. Zech-
er who hails from Mass. “Zeck” has
played with Hartford in the Conn,
league, with various semi profession
al teams throughout the “North.”
Pvt. “Tommy Grey” has played pro
fessional basket ball in the North and
refused many offers to go to college.
Pvt. “ammy Brown” has played semi
professional ball around Haverhill
with the Wlllets.
Pvt. “Phill” Barran has played soc
cer football with the sons of St. George
and was known as a consistent play
er.
Sergt. Evans has also played ball
around Connecticut and was known
as a sure man.
Pvt. Jarlvs has played the Infield
for a lot of good teams and also can
sting the pill.
Pvt. Wilson can also get them on
either side of him and has had lots of
experience in the national game.
Pvt. Goddard Is known among his
acquaintances as a steady quiet ball
player and it is also known that he
can swt the ball,
Hundreds of the base hospital en
listed men, closely followed by sev
eral dozen officers, watched the thrill
ing auto races at the fair grounds
Wednesday afternoon.
“It was great stuff” is the general
comment.
Several of the finishes were close
and there was lots of dust stirred up
when the machines skidded at the
turns. There were a few minor acci
dents but no critical injuries. It was
a dust begrimed but happy lot which
came back too late for 'chow'’
ANOTHER GO,
It is understood that Pvt. Cyr, the
New Hampshire light weight, chal
lenges Kid Farrel, who formerly
fought out of New Haven, for a ten-
round bout. Cyr weighs 140 lbs. while
Parrel’s ringside weight would be 125
lbs. at the most. A little light for
the Hay seed but plenty of nerve.
Parrel is training with Pvt. Connors,
another very clever boy. Pvt. Jawn
Patrick Mullvhill Is their boxing in
structor.
Both Cyr and Parrel are Telephone
“girls,” but they are sure hard boiled.
An Interesting bout is looked for.
