Volunteers Testimony tends to show that

Tenn, the regiment was ordered out to play
ball for exercise.
During the game Allen received disabling
injuries for which he claimed a pension
The case was originally rejected by the
commissioner of pensions on the ground that
the injury was not received in the line of
duty. Assistant Secretary Busy takes an
opposite view and directs that the claimant
be allowed an opportunity to establish by
further testimony the fact that he was in
jured as alleged. In case the proof shows
that the contestant was so injured a pension
is to be issued.
