LITTER CONTEST A NUMBER OF
FOURTH OF JULY MEET.
A rousing athletic meet is planned
for Camp Greene for July 4th. A. E.
Bergman, camp athletic director, is
boosting the affair. The track and
field events will be open to both offi
cers and enlisted men. It is expected
that the meet will be held on Wearn
field.
One of the features of the meet
will be the litter bearers’ contest. The
litter team will consist of three men;
two bearers and one patient. At a
given signal the litter bearers will
start tor their patient and carry him
back to their starting point..
It has been suggested teams be
picked from the classes now in train
ing here so that the base hospital may
be represented and carry off the hon
ors.
Some of the other events will be:
Fifty-yard dash, 100-yard dash, 2H0-
yard dash, one-half mile run, running
broad jump, running high jump, sema
phore signalling, and relay race.
SO WE ARE—
There was a ball game played on
last
Saturday between a team represent
ing
The Base Hospital and the Fourth
Re,giment Motor Mechanics.
And the rooters for the respective
teams
Sat in separate sections of the
Grand Stand.
And when the game waxed fast and
furious
The rooters grew enthusiastic and
vented
Their enthusiasm hy hurling epi
thets
Complimentary and otherwise
against their opponents.
And the Base IJospital crowd called
the
Motor Mechanics “ground-hogs” and
the “ground-hogs”
Called the Base Hospital crowd
“home-guards,” slackers, ’
And there were some civilians
present of Draft Age
An they quietly slunk away when
the slacker question
Was mentioned.
And finally the “ground-hogs” ask
ed us
What we were, “Regulars or Na
tional Army men?”
And one of the “home-guards” re
plied,
“We are Regulars, God help us.”

The base hospital team was defeat
ed by the Fourth Regimental team at
Weam Field on Saturday. The score
was 11 to 3 and was caused no doubt
by our boys being unaccustomed to
the new field. It seemed that they
were attacked with a case of stage
fright, as the usual heavy hitting o”
the team was missing. They also
fielded in very poor style, eight errors
being chalked up against them. An
other game is in tnhe works at the
present time and we all hope for a
reversal of form. Barth, Craig and
Zecha stood out as the shining light of
the team. Jewell on first, played a
wonderful game for the Fourth team.

IN ATHLETICS
Among the records of the athletes
at Camp Greene, Sgt, Nickerson holds
one of the most enviable. Nick,” as
a “has been,” is not surpassed by
‘Matty” or the “Iowa Parmer” when
it comes to being a star. While a
student at Rickel Institute, “Nick'
earned his letter in three branches,
baseball, basketball and football. In
addition to being a member of the
varsity teams in these branches ot
athletics, he served two years as cap
tain of the basketball and baseball
teams.
Pvt. Cy Green was for many years
a leading soccer played with Alabama
Thistles and his services were always
in demand.
BASEBALL BREVITIES.
Well, We got tripped up. Better luck
next time.
“Dad” Craig caught a beautiful
game, besides getting two hits.
Zecha, of course, got his customary
hits, two this time.
We admit the Fourth has a dandy
team, but we fully convinced that we
can still beat them. Another game is
in the works.
«
An item of amusement was the
jeering of “Hug” Lange by the Weach-
erites. It sort of got his goat, too.
Joe Lawlor was on the bench. Ho
wanted to go in as a pinch hitter but
didn’t have on a suit, so he was
barred.
>i
This party Jewell, seems destined
for faster company. He is a wonder
at first base, and it seems that he
towered way above the other players,
although they were all good.
EVOLUTION OF KULTURED BILL
Too much pennant in “Bob” Mar
tin’s glove, we imagine. Take it out.
Bob, take it out.
Darwin was right either way you take it.
