THIRD REGIMENT TEAM
WINS CHAMPIONSHIP
Exciting Contest Between Third
and Fourth Motor Mechanics
on Wednesday.
The fifth and decisive game of the
series of five baseball games played by
the Third and Fourth Motor Mechanics
regiments was staged *at Wearn
field on Wednesday afternoon of the
past week. The game resulted in a
victory for the Third regiment, by the
score of 4 to 0.
No more interesting and exciting
game has been played in Charlotte in
many years. A capacity crowd witnesses
the struggle. Rooters from
both regiments were present in layge
numbers, and under the leadership of
several officers and men they cheered
their players to the very echo. Every
device for the making of noise or for
the discomfort of the players was
employed. The Third regiment had a
goat which they labeled, "The Fourth
regiment goat." The climax of the
demonstration was reached when a
monkey, another mascot of the Third,
rode the goat.
The game was a very fast one,
though the Fourth's team was not up
to form. The runs were made on clean
hits. The Third regiment battery was
Stringer and Lynch, both of these
players doing stellar work. Patterson
and Barker started off for the
Fourth, but in the sixth inning Jewell
and Fish took their places. Both
Patterson and Jewell pitched good
ball.
ANOTHER BOXING AND
WRESTLING EXHIBITION
The next boxing and wrestling program
that will be seen in this vicinity
will be helT! June 8 at the City Auditorium
in Charlotte by the Motor Mechanics.
The last entertainment was
a huge success and was the first introduction
of boxing in the city. All
the bouts were of the best kind and
proved that the soldiers were still a
fighting bunch.
The program will be better if any
thing as the men have had longer 10 i
train and prepare for this. There will
be four or five boxing bouts and one
or two wrestling bouts.
At this time there is an open challenge
to anyone in this camp made
by "Cyclone" Moore of the Motor
Mechanics, to wrestle any man of 142
pounds. He is champion of Ohio and
has not found a man of his weight
that will give a good bout. All men
wishing to get in touch with him como
to athletic headquarters of the Fourth
Motor Mechanics, or Y. M. C. A. 104
physical director.
Tickets at any cigar store or drug
store.
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR FOSTER |
GIVINC MEN GOOD PRACTICE!
The non-commissioned officers of
the Third and Fourth Motor Mechanics
are very well off these days by
having J. C. Foster as their personal
director for the morning exercise
work. Mr. Foster takes great interest
in his leading and is giving the
very best that can be had in this fine
constructive plan. The program begins
with a snappy calisthenic drill
iiiui me men enjoy uecause ui nsi
variety, followed by a good work out
on the beam or parallel bars, in dips!
and pull ups or other exercises. Some
men in company form are given the
track work on the 220 track.
Mr. Foster is sure that any body
of men that will follow this program j
of work and do their part with some
real effort will soon show the results. I
The non-commissioned men will be
the future directors in the regiment if
these men move from this camp, that
the program will be continued seems
to be assured for all of the men are
en>oying this job and the officers see
that it means a great deal for the men. i
