Considering the fact that the local fig - /track was primarily Intended to be py churned beneath the hoofs of thoroughbred horses rather than to be steam -ollered by the wheels of whlxV sins gasoline buggies, the races were ' ^? ?airly good. They were not, with a exceptions, close enough to excite y the interest of the crowd to any high 3 . pitch, but after all they were satisfactory, and the big part of the spectators acted as if they had received their iv: money's worth. ; The only untoward events that marred the pleasure of the afternoon were mihor accidents to two motorcyle ridlr~ ens, who sustained slight injuries, and V; - an argument that brewed up during Ir'-. the progress of the free-for-all automobile race. The latter started when J3ag?>ltalph D.

The player to take nrst i pitch shall alternate in pitching one, quoit until all four have been thrown, When the judges will measure to de- | termine the point winner. In pitching quoits, a player shall stand in line with or back of the pin at his end, and not more than ^hree feet' to either side of the pin. He may assume any position white pitching, but may not touch any part of the ground in front of the pin until after the quoit he has thrown strikes the ground. After four quoits have been thrown by the two opponents at one end, the judges shall determine which quoit or quoits are nearest the pin, and shall award points as follows: * One point to the player having the nearest quoit. Two points to the player having the nearest two quoits. Three points to the player having ?* minU laanlnrr afrainaf tha nln Five points to the player whose j quoit encircles the pin/ The distance shall be measured with a yardstick, and shall cover a direct line between the nearest visible parts of the quoit and pin.

The crack baseball team from Camp Sevier, which has been making bread championship claTms, went down In defeat before the strong aviation team at Wearn field on Saturday afternoon. A bunching of hits by the aviators at opportune times accounted largely for the 6 to 2 victory which they achieved over the visitors. The aviators led of? in the third Inning, Ellison getting on by a pass. The next three batters singled in succession and there was uneasiness in the dugout of the visitors when the score-, board was read three to nothing against them. Guthrie tightened up and no more runs were made until the fifth round. Williams singled. Lundgren went out, Clark to Houses, but McDermott got Hfe when Houser tossed wild to Clark, who covered the base. Ellison missed three of Guthrie's fast ones, but Colle singled. McDermott tried for the plate, but was finally chased back to third, the runner^and Hector staging a dash down the~line that terminated only when McDermott had reached the bag safely. Havirn then hit the centerfleld fence for a triple, scoring McDermott and Coile. The visitors made their two runs In the fifth inning. Houser led off with a single and Groom sacrificed, but Dennings fumbled and both runners were safe. Pittman's second hit of the afternoon and McDermott's error allowed both runners to score. Coile brought down Clark's liner for the third "out, with two runners perched on the sack at the time. One of the military bands from Camp Greene was present and enlivened the occasion by a number of stirring selections. IT'S ENJOYABLE VOLLEY-BALL GAME.
