BLAKE, Town Mgr. After placing the forms of our last issue on the Dress, the machine broke down before we had run off a single paper, and the broken part had to be taken to Spartanburg for repair. In consequence the NEWS was not printed until Saturday. It seems as if we were having more than our share of misfortunes, but we live in hopes that ther will be a turn some ' time. , " 1 ' Mrs. Frank Wilcox, of Union, S.

The immediate response would naturally be baseball However, this is not correct, according to the latest statistical report com piled by R. C. Cubbon, Army Y., M. C A. physical director for the southeast era division, aided by the the 126 phys ical directors in the camps. Their fig aires of the number of games played and the number of men participating show that volley ball is the most pop ular of all sports. There was a time when baseball was the most popular sport in the camps, and in the month of March it was three times as popular as any other game, but in the following month the newly introduced game of volley ball was taken by the soldiers with the greatest of enthusiasm and the report of the physical directors in the camps of the southeastern department show that, commencing with the month of April, Tolley ball has easily held first place as the most popular sport with the soldiers. This- is very easily understood when it is explained that volley ball can be (played " in a very small space about the size of " a tennis court. The sol diers with little practice can. -become quite expert in the game. Another fea ture is that all of the players- on both sides are playing the entire time, (no bench warming) and the games do not last nearly so long as baseball, in fact not much longer than the average baseball inninc. The only equipment needed for this game is one ball and one net. Plaveround baseball is another game that is making a great hit with the soldiers nd now ranks fourth in pop niaritv. This game also can be play ed In a small space, the distances ibe- tween bases being only thirty ieet. Tn this came a large, soft ball is usea and the pitcher is required to use the underhand throw. All the skill of the tm ppnt pa IT) A of baseball is required for playground ball and the playing has all the tnriiis ana ense iuumcuw that is to be had in the national past As an entertainer boxing is Tery much in the limelight in the camps ta nvo baseball has an immense mi- aiiu a. - . lowing of devotees. Providing games of entertainment is or no smau impm t- n in thP p.amDs as it is shown in the physical director's report that 905,375 spectators were in aupnuam; 918 Tames in which 662,056 soldiers " . - X participated in x. m. u. a. gamca. v "am r.
