Itooy apolovles to 8-8gt. Jimmy Cutrooe for the error which hi>
peered In lest wek’s story concerning Us flsUo beckground. Hie story
reed thet Outrone bed been knockea down niae times by Merty Lib*
bermen In the first round of their fl^t—it should have read Just ▼ice
verse. Cutrooe clipped Liebermen Instead.
Some of the best sportsmanship on the field Is evident these days
during calinthetlcs when OIs grab bats, a softball and a glove or two
and rush to a diamond for a few minute cd Impmnptu playing. Svra
though the man on first base may not know the difference between It
and home, and evoi though the pitcher tosses every ball* right down
the middle, his teammates and the opposing side doesn't objMt. They
know that he's trying. tf he tries, that Is all they ask. That’s
sportsmansUp.
When you get In the Army and every man wears a uniform, you
engender an appreciation for your fellow man that many times was
pr^ously lacU^. This shows up in soldier* sports, where “the game
is the thing,” and it Isn't whether you're exceptional at such and
such a sport but whether you 'can take it ” and ^ again. The Army
loves s good loser. And It's an affection thet many of us didn’t have
when we wore mufti.
ALL-STAR HIGHLIGHTS—Officers felt the lash ef defeat Toee-
day might when the 91Stb topped them 7 ta 6 In a retsm match.
Pvt. Bay Bobber, pitcher tor the MPs. was feand to be all that he
was ‘crached-^ to be. His stellsr pitching kept 'the game on an
even keel antU anasual factors developed. According to reports
beard by Ole Sarge, Major Prohaaka ran Into a little troable dor*
lag the game. As easy pop fly was traveling In the general direction
of right field, the pesltloa whldi Major Prrtiaaka was playing. The
Major ran ap to aaatch It, bat encoantered a slippery mad paddle.
The reaolt was thiU be went off balance and tamed a foil flip In the
air to land on hit neck. Before he coaid regain bis feet, the batter
bad tonred the bates to even the score. (Bd. Note: Madder, be lays!)
If a fellow Is interested In bowling, and bsa bis eyes set on the
opening of the Bowling Alleys around the first of August, the guy to
get real friendly With Is T-6gt. John Evans, who wiU be the big gun
of Uie set-up. Accwdlng to John, there will be no partiality shown to
anyone. Every man will be able to bowl as an individual. But his
main Interest is to form bowling leagues amongst the squadrons.
Second enlisted man In charge of the alleys wlU be Pvt. Bill Mc-

Jast in case Mme OIs weald tor a mlaato think that women are
alerglc to the sight of blood, w«Il. they weald soon change their mind
if th^ woald attend one ef the boxing shows. Officer’s wives and EM’s
friends caa be heard screaming, “Clip him in the belly! Hit im, Oeoh
Boey! He’s dews—It serves im dght!”—and so goes the aide coaching
and fan yellteg ef ear dear weaker sex.
The TMth Technical School. Squadron was add^ to the hardball
league this wetfe.^ to this time, the 794th has not played any games,
but will catch up-to other league members by playing double headers
and twill^t games.

From the depths of the unknown, Ivon Berry come bock
Wednesday night to knockout the undefeated Tomas Mona
celli in the most exciting and main bout of the evening before
the customary large crowd ot the Sports Arena. Although
Berry made his debut two weeks ago, he was defeated by
Monacelli in the first fight. The decision wos so close, that
for the first time at Johnson Field, two men were rematched.
The result was the smashing victory for Berry.
The hard pimching Monacelli, from Washington State,
is no doubt, a tough opponent, and proved it by going on
on even keel for the first round. However, the much more ex.-
perieneed Berry kept clipping him with a fast one that
spelled ultimate defeat for the former. During the last round,
Monacelli went down for the first time in his fistic career
here.- But he was up with a short count. He retoliated some*
what, but the telling blows hod olready taken effect. Berry
slammed home with a terrific right thot poralyxed MondcelH's
stonce cmd olso his winning streak.

Another knockout was scored
when Ralph Krueger of toe 794m
met Mario Avlgnooe In toe 175-
pound division. Both boys came cat
slinging leather from toe floor and
frcrni wherever they could ges
enough leverage to swing. Both
men hit hard, and' neltosr had any
defense. Tbe bout ended abruptly
when Krueger knifed home a
“killer pun^” toat rattled Avlg-
tume from bis fast moving perebi
Tbe knockout came In I nilDute
and 8 seconds of toe second round.
