| Galveston, Texas. May 26--Lieutenant
Colonel McCaleb, in charge of regimental
barracks, is proving himself tactician in
more ways than one. Ever since the mo-
bilizing Of the troops began one of the Sc
rious problems has been how to keep the
men together. There has been no binding
force other than the patriotism of the men.
In most instances this has been sufficient
to keep the recruits promptly at their posts
Of duty day after day Now and then,
however, some man would tire of the dull
routine and suddenly conclude that he
didn't care whether he obtained a set-to
with the Spaniards or not. For this reason
there have been few assertions, hut to
the credit of the men Offering 1t must be
said that such cases are few. With only
rare exceptions every man has showed his
faith by his works and has responded 70
every call OF the officers.
| The latest thing devised to amuse the
men while not otherwise engaged is to put
| them to playing baseball. This morning
Lieutenant Colonel McCaleb laid in a sup
ply OF bats and balls and at an early nour
| was seen vending his way TO the ball park.
| The playing that will be done at the Beacn
park by the recruits may not be up to the
| league standard but it will furnish amuse-
ment no the men and will afford pleasant
diversion from the monotony OF camp life.
The first mastering in took place yester-
dav afternoon at Beach park. To Captain
Cooke belongs the honor of having his men
ready first. They are fine body ana
