LIVELY SICK MEN, THESE!
MARINES AND JACKIES MIX IT
UP AT HOSPITAL.
It All Arose Over a "Duck"-The
Worst of It Is It Hasn't
Ended Yet.

"Gwan. You fat-foot spudhead This is
no slippers can, and if you hang around
here any longer you'll be runnin' back to
the old man for help"
The foregoing was an informal declara-
ton of war between a bunch OF conva-
descent marines and jackfes at the Navy
Hospital shortly after o'clock yesterday
afternoon. 1t occurred in the rear Of the
grounds, where many Of the almost fits
gather in the afternoons and rush duck
to bust, the monotony of hospital life.
Inadvertently lonesome jackie butted
into several marines who were enjoying
themselves, and innocently asked for a
swing or SO.
Amt you got two bits of your own,
TriX?" asked a second marine.
Go to, you barber stick dude holly
retorted the jackie.
Biff. bang, whack followed in quick
succession and down went the jackie for
a count of five with a big marine corpo-
raj standing over him. Just about that
time five other jackies wandering down
that way, spotted the game. and off the
quintet started in a dead run for miX-up.
The marines squared off and the clash
came. For several minutes fists, growl-
ers. sticks and profanity filled the air.
The sound of hefty body punches didn't
fall on corresponding ears. and in ten or
fifteen minutes possibly twenty marines
and sailors were having it out for dear
life. They came from the street, over the
walls. from the barracks. the meSSroOmS
and every conceivable place at the hospi-
tai. Clubs, stones and what not We're
used in the affair with telling effect, but
hardly had one of the combatants hit
mother earth before he was up again like
Antaeus and in the thick of ii. They
were doing nobly for sick men.
At the height of the fun. some one-no
one knows who it was-Sent in a riot call
to the third precinct station house and the
patrol wagon with five or six policemen
dashed to the scene just in time to see
the remnant of the Scrappers scattering
in all four directions of the compass. Po-
liceman Lake was the first to land on the
battle-ground and succeeded in capturing
two sailors and one marine.
Given Their Liberty Today.
This morning the jackies-one of whom
it developed had undergone severe alb
dominaI operation about three weeks ago
We're given their liberty in the Police
Court on condition that they behave
themselves, and the marine forfeited 50
collateral.
Say, mister. don't put my name in
the paper. will you?" asked one of the
iackieS. We got to so up before the old
man. anyhow-and it might make it
harder for us.

Well, wait Till we get 'em ont on the
street. They'll look like a bunch Of
guinea bumboats when it's over

No State Boat Could Sail Bay.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, September 11.-So
far as the state oyster navy is concerned
the outlaw oystermen operating in Sine
puXent bay may continue their operations
without fear of molestation. 1t Is ad-
mitted here by a member of the shellfish
commission that none of the heavier boa s
of the oyster navy could enter the waters
where they are operating. This is eX-
planned by the fact that neither the Gov
ernor McLane nor the Governor Thomas
can pass the intercepting shadows be-
tween tho ocean and the bay in which
the marauding fleet is operating.
Commissioner Benjamin X. Green, who
was in Annapolis to accompany Gov.
Crothers on his deferred trip down the
bay, said:
1T is impossible for either OF the boats
from the ocean into SinepuXent bay, be-
cause of their heavy draft. The only way
the naval force of the state can interfere
to preserve law and order is to diSem-
bark and cross over to the bay. This
would leave them without A vessel to
cruise among the predatory Oystermen.
Their force is small and probably would
be ignored.
The state at present has no force ade-
quate to cope with the situation in Sine
puXent bay. If there were availab BILE ves-
sells sufficiently heavily armed to sail into
the bay and among the invading oyster
boats, the effect I believe. would be suf-
ficient to enforce the law and preserve or
der
True. the forces of the oyster navy
might 80 to Ocean City. hire a launch
and sail among the oyster boats. but
without an armed vessel l do not think
this would have much effect. Therefore.
1t is evident that the state is powerless
to enforce its oyster laws in this partic-
ular case.
AS explained. the oysters being taken
from SinepuXent bay are under the legal
size. All those small oysters taken in the
bay are sold to planters. but it must he
remembered that it is unlawful either TO
take or have in ones possession oysters
under 2l2 Inches from hinge to mouth
