EARLY SEASON BASEBALL SCHEDULE STARTED AT CAMP GREENE. Camp Greene claims a record in the starting of her spring baseball sched ule. The first game was played on last Sunday, January 26th, between the Ambulance Corps and the Nin- tieth Infantry. There will be a game tomorrow at the camp and it is ex pected that a full schedule of weekly games will be carried on. In the opening game, on last Sun day, the Ambulance Corps won a well- earned victory at 8 to 2 over the play ers from the Infantry. There was ex cellent pitching considering the short time in which the twirlers have had to prepare. There were several two- base hits and a few heated argu ments. The Ambulance drivers and the In fantrymen will cross bats again this Sunday on the diamond formerly used by the Fourth Recruit Camp men. The field is in excellent condition and the bleachers are being set up to accom modate a crowd. Camp Chaplain Thomas Ryan is slated to umpire the. contest. At the game last week there were many attendants from Charlotte, who had driven to the seat of the game in automobiles. The public is cordial ly invited to see the coming tilt and there will be no charges. Camp Athletic Director Mel Shep pard, the former Peerless Mel of cin der path fame, is responsible for the arrangements for the, “first peep o’ spring’’ baseball games although the fine weather, with a beaming sun which make coats unnecessary in the afternoons, is the factor which allows the plans of Director Sheppard to pro ceed. THE CADUCEUS DIAGNOSIS UNDETERMINED. CHILDREN ENTERTAIN ALWAYS READY. When you are cold and chilled through from exposure to the cold night air you can always get a good warm cup of coffee at the Red Cross building. The door is never locked and a passer-by is ever welcome to drop in for a cheering cup of the hot fluid regardless of the hour. Darkness is deceiving. No names mentioned but t’other night two young ladles, whose smiling countenances are seen daily about one of ' our numerous mess-halls, awoke with a start. Big Ben registered the hour of 5:50 a. m. (to them). Gee! fifty min utes late! The detachment boys sure can dress at revielle but there are two in our midst who can go one better. Swiftly along the boardwalks flitted raid maidens, fearful lest they be seen reporting for duty at such a tardy- hour. All was dark and cold at the mess-office. Switch was turned and valve opened; the wheels of daily 1 outlne began to rotate. Like the moth to the flame so was a cook 61 the night shift naturally attracted by this unexpected light. Entering he in quired if they desired their midnight luncheon served in the office. Mid night luncheon? Where are the break fast chow-wagons? It was the cook’s turn to be mystified. Drawing forth his "ever-since-I-joined-the-army” In- gersol he proceeded to draw the two n’aidens out of their somnambulistic trance. 10:45 p. m. While the cook was suffering a paralysis of the vocal cords two “earlv” bluebirds hastened back to their downy nests. The wilds of Vermont or Takoma Park, D. C., never held the terrors as did that winding trail back to quarters. What if they should be seen returning at that late hour? What a disastrous misunder standing might follow! 10:30 p. m. Is not 0:50 a. m. The ninth edition of The American Illustrated Medical Dictionary has been perused but the diagnosis still remains “undermined.” Moral: “Looks are deceiving. Al ways look twice at the face hands of a clock.” By SGT. GEORGE ROSE OH, DOCTOR! “I want some intelligent men as hos pital orderlies,” announced Lieuten ant Worley. “Any pharmacists in the Detachment?” A flaxen-haired individual shuffled forward. “Ye gods!” said the lieutenant, “are you a pharmacist?” “Shure ay bane pharmersis,” was the indignant reply. ‘Vy, ay bane work on pharm all mae life!” BOYS AND GIRLS OF CITY BRING FINE CHEER. One of the most highly appreciated programs yet delivered at the Red Cross building was the entertainment given on last Friday afternoon by the children of the Fourth Ward School of Charlotte. The series of readings and songs were arranged especially for the benefit of the wounded men, who gathered in a body for the pro gram and whose presence seemed to call out the best efforts of the young entertainers.
