DETENTION CAMP HAS
BIG ATHLETIC NIGHT
j Favored by beautiful wather and an
an enthusiastic spirit, the sport flends
I of the detention camp were served
up with a program on Friday night
of the past week that sets a high
i mark for interest. The outdoor are
j na, which' was constructed by the
j contacts of tho camp and Is the only
' one of its, kind at Camp Greene, was
' the scene of the activity.
J The program was begun with a
I three-round boxing match between
Dixon of Company K of the FiftyI
eighth infantry and Landry, of the
Fifty-ninth infantry supply company.
1 These men weighed in at 148 pounds.
| This was followed by a wrestling bout
; between Willhite of Company K and
' Boi'.an of the same outfit, weight 150
I pounds. Boilan was winner of the
i bout. I^andry then took on Murphy
! ?f Company E, of the Fifty-ninth ini
fan try for another boxing match.
I The laughable feature of the evening
was a blindfold boxing match between
E. L. Barnett and IL Barnett.
' both of the Fifty-ninth headquarters
i The athletic events were witnessed j
t by all of the officers of the detention |
| camp. Mr. A. K. Bergman, camp ath- |
' letic director for the "Y" refereed the i
| matches.
SECOND CAME*WON BY
FORTY-SEVENTH TEAMj
! Despite the fact of a chilly air and
I' slightly damp grounds, a real game of
national pastime was pulled off at
Wearn field yesterday afternoon. It
was a pity that so few saw the nine
[ innings of ball, as they were worth
the money. Aside from one bobble
by each team (both costly) there
was nothing to indicate that the un1
practiced nines were not leagurs.
j Kitzpatrick, the TTth's southpaw.
; bested his Indian opponent, lioog. in
I actual strikeouts, but the big chief
proved his prowest when the pinches
came. His curves-looked like snakes
[ when he needed the stuff to stem a
I bad tide. Skirnin's three-base hit and
I Risslnko's tw07ba.se hits were the |
j only long hits of the game, many bej
ing juggled by the fielders. Skirnin's |
! all-around playing and Knecht's base- 1
I running were notleeame. uassru |
showed the artillery runners a thing i
I or two in pegging. He had to throw j
[ out a few at second before they realN

The new theater has had the pleasure
of Sir Isaac Holloway's mellow
notes from his violin for a few days
past
Holtz has not had his light on for
quite a while. Continued friction
against black oak will keep the shine
off your nose, boy, better than powder.
Fritz says hot lickety!
Have some more coffee, Reynoser,
Tellemeyon. Now Leester.
Chief Ludlam will have to do away
with his hat stap, for every time he
tips his hat at concert it gets caugm

Holloway.

Macron! De Serb? is progressing ,
nicely on the peck horn.
Hruno Leek has fallen out with his ]
eastern friend since she sent him her |

If Loss borrowed all the clothes that j

Tilken. the wandering Jew. is go- i
