this historic document.
“Dear Sar^:
Seymour Johnson Is a wonderful

There is only one thing that can

About Baseball And Boxing
On the sandlots of Seymour
Johnson Plbld, dally baseball wars
are being csi^ed on to clinch glory
and fame and also for the trophy
to be awarded the winners of the
respective leagues. Seem as though
the OlSth Guard Squadron is lead
ing the show In the Softball League
by remaining undefeated In the
battle of the glove-less game.
From the pitching mounds and
from the catchers bmc. a real
brand ball playing Is being dis
played by Individuals. Already
several soldiers have walked
through the doom of ”baseball
gam^ by pitching no hit, no run
games. Batters and fielders also
have sparkled in uiriioldlng their
respective teams.
Jseksen And Sfanen PaverHea
On the boxing fronts: Already
the boxing shows have become' one
of the levying sports sttrscUona at
the ^Kirts Arena.
From the dressing room every
otb^ Wednesday night, tile boys
who enter the ring with detmtl-
nation. spirit and ttte vrUlIngneas
to fl^t Uke'belL The crowd has
licked favorite performers, as told
ly the cbeen and ovation that fol
low fights. Pvts. Simon and Jack-
son, colored boys from the tOOi
AvlatloD are real crowd pleaaers
and have fared quite well In their
battles to date. Jackson atslkes m
Joe Lmils manner vriileh has
b(Mdn fans curious In guessing Jus:
bow much be really knows. Simon
displays an imusual shuffle that
really Is a dlUy contrary to
orthodox stance,* nevertheless^
can heave a ml^ty punch and
shuffle away from one Just as well.
I^’s Bematch Teel
Pfs- Sam Tocl. who was one of
Philadelphia’s leading Goldra
Glove fighters, has managed to
beat the color^ ace. Jackson, and
now It would be a grand Idea to
match these boys In a return-bout.
Pvt. Frank ZoUexri, who’s story
appears In the Ring Magazine this
month ha3 fought a few times st
the arena. T^ 35 pound ace
shows much promise and skill.
When ZoUesxl Is on the card, the
night Is complete.
Lt Eckman la Oveove
Incidently. the boys responsible
for the management of these re
cent boxing shows have been do
ing s good Job. Lt. E. P. Eckman
heads the program with Pvt. For
rest Petray as boxing Instructor
ABsther BsMe Beyal. Please
It hs* been suggested tbrou^
this department, that another ’’bat-
tie royal” be held In the coming
attra^ons. But this time, they
should not bq bUndpfolded, since
It doesn't seem fair to some of the
boys wbo are still covered up
.wbUe others peek ttuwugh blind
folds broke loose by blows.
