The work in the cook stacks is one
of the many things that attract the
visitor to Camp Cobb, this week, and
more than one of the ladies' that in
spected the quarters, yesterday. We're
surprised to find the excellence of the
service, with the white floors glisten-
ing in the glory of a good scrubbing
and the pans and all the accoutre-
ments of the kitchen in their proper
place. The inspectors to have had no
cause to find fault with this branch of
the service as yet and if the present
period of excellence keeps up they will
have no cause
The boys of Co. NJ and Co III had
their scheduled ball game, yesterday
afternoon, and the ganf resulted in an
overwhelming victory for the boys of
Augusta. The game was at no time in
doubt as to the issue, although at the
start the boys from Waterville secured
two great big runs and they really did
look big for the time being, but os soon
as the Augusta boys began to get into
the game they played all around their
adversaries, and the way they piled up
the runs was caution, although at
times the aggregation from Co. H did
show that they had seen the game be-
fore and knew how it was played.
1t might, however. be to the credit of
Co. H to say that the men from Water
Vile were handicapped greatly by the
absence of Wiley and Craig. two ball
players of well-known ability. who
play oil the Augusta Trolley League
team.
