FULLAM ON BALL FIELD;
FIRST TIME IN 40 YEARS.
Superintendent Of Academy Plays
2 Innings As Member of
Married Officers Nine.

Rear-Admiral Fullam. superintend-
ent of the Naval Academy, emulated in
minor degree. his performances as
an athlete during his days as a Mid
shipman nearly forty years ago. when
he appeared on the baseball diamond
as member of the married officers
team in the annual contest with the
single officers
Admiral Fullam took the right field
position. When student, he was the
Midies' backstop. That was in the
days when they played without gloves
or other articles as body protectors.
So yesterday ne chose to hold down
position where there was less -physi-
cal exertion involved. Ii so happen
ed that he did not have Single chance
in the field, and as a result of his only
trip to the plate, he laid down a
rounder and was thrown out at first
The married men demonstrated their
superiority over their younger oppo-
nents, by winning the game by a score
of 8 Ito 5. incidentally. the game was
well played, in contrast to the contests
of former years, when they developed
into a comedy OF errors.
For the Benedicts, Austin Sands,
son-in-law OF Admiral Fullam did the
twirling for the first few innings, and
later on Lieut.. c. c. Gill, a former
Navy star. served them up and finish
ed the game The Bachelors could
not hit their blenders" with any sue
cess. Prof. Paul j Dashiell did the
slab work fro the Bachelors. and the
married men managed to hit him
quite frequently.
Lieutenant Van Auken, a former
MILDLY twirler,was on the receiving end
for the Benedicts, while the backstop
for the married men was Lieut. Thos.
A. Symington, of Walbrook, Baltimore,
one time catcher on theMidshipmen's
nine. The playing of Lieutenant Dom

was a feature He handled several

MEMORIES OF THE OLD SOUTH
BY MISS LOUISE WILLIAMS.
Audience Pleased With Artistic Enter
tainment by Gifted Southern Girl.

One rarely has the opportunity of
enjoying an evening of such true pleas
ure as did the large audience which
gathered at the High School Audito-
dium last evening to hear Miss Louise
Alice Williams in her wonderful dia-
lect stories of the plantation.
From the opening number of the pro-
gram plantation melodies by the "Old-
Fashioned Choir" to the closing dainty
bow of Miss Williams. one almost inn
agined himself back in the days of the
Sunny South and living himself. the
joys and sorrows of those glorious de-
parted times
II is indeed a remarkable gift which
Miss Williams possesses in being able
to disguise her pure English with it's
sweet Southern accent. into the broad
dialect of the Southern negro. MAN
my's Memories of the Old South" was
especially beautifully rendered by Miss
Williams, who pictured most faithfully
the old-fashioned Southern Christmas
win a&i ttS SlOilSot AhSAuulhS It's re-
nowned punch bowl.
"A Negro Sermon" was so perfect in
its detail that one truly imagined him
self taking part in the religious serv-
ice of the Southern negro and was, by
its amusing nature, just the touch
needed to perfaee the pathetic mono
logue of war times, Looking fer Marse
Willie" The artistic stage settings,
with profusion of old-fashioned garden
favorites, Chipendale furniture and
paintings of famous Southern Generals
added to the evening the only touch
necessary to complete the Colonial
tableau.
The "old-fashioned choir" composed
of students of the High School.a and two
of the faculty. added to the pleasure oi
the evening by singing old-fashioned
songs which they gave in good voice
and sweet melody The audience was
large, considering other things going
on, and showed marked appreciation.

Attendance at the Chapel is practi.
cally voluntary, through parent oi
guardian. a Aidshipman may secure
permission to attend service in any
church in the town OF Annapolis. II
is significant Of the appreciation by the
NIidshipmen of the Chapel service
that, aside from the members of the
Roman Catholic Church, not more than
twenty of them take advantage of this
privilege.
The superintendent wishes to en-
phasize the fact that the Chapel serv-
ice is most inspiring and that its in-
auence and teachings have a directand
practical bearing upon the moral and
professional conduct and duties of Mid
shipmen both before and after grad
uation. For these reasons the Super
inendent, after many years experience
at the Naval Academy, can advise pa
rents that attendance at the Chapel is
for the best interests OF the Midship-
men in every respect.
Parents and guardians are urged TO
keep in close touch. by correspond
ence, with AIidshipmen at all times.

but it is proper to state that the rou-
tine duties and responsibilities of OIL
GERS SO completely occupy their time
that unnecessary correspondence
should not be required of them. In
emergencies however, their complete
sympathy and personal interest may
always be counted upon, and letters to
them will be carefully considered and
promptly answered
In conclusion it must be plain that
self-relance and u high sense of duty
can reasonably be demanded of Mid
shipmen, inasmuch as their status is
enviable in comparison with that of
students in other schools and colleges.
The latter are not clothed, fed and
cared for at Government expense, and
they are not paid fifty dollars a month
while receiving their education! Thus

MIDDIES AT WEST POINT;
READY FOR BIG GAME
Team Given Big Send-0H Upon De.
parture Last Night Confident Of
Winning.

Bound for West Point. ~ Y. where
hey will do battle with the rival West
Point Cadets in their annual game on
Saturday. the baseball team of the
didshipmen. substitutes, coaches and
other attendants. making party OF
hirty in all, left Annapolis last night
on special train over the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad.
The players were cheered to the
echo by their fellows of the regiment
as they departed from the Government
reservation to take their car at the
Short Line terminal station. The team
is in fine fettle for the fray, and there
is a large measure of confidence that
the team will bring the bacon home.
The Middies. however. realize that
they viii oppose a most worthy foe, as
the Army nine is made up of practi-
cally the same coterie of players that
beat them last year, s to 2, and they
are particularly aware of the pitching
ability of Bob" Neyland. whose rec
ord of twenty consecutive wins. thus
beating any performance OF any major
league twirler.
Neyland will undoubtedly twirl Sat
urday's game and he will be opposed
by Blodgett. the big halfback of the
football team last fall, who has been
the mainstay of the Navy staff of
tWirlers this season
The makeup of the Navy nine, in
the order of batting is as follws:
Third Base-T Fisher.
Left Field-A Smith.
Center Field--H A. Fisher.
Short Stop-Adams.
First Base-Rodgers
Right Field-M Mdran.
Second Base Calhoun
Catcher-Hicks
Pitcher-B Blodgett
For the benefit of the stay-at-homes.
the Navy Athletic Association has ar
ranged to receive a complete story Of
game, Play by play, in fact, every
incident of the game, will be received
by telegraph and displayed on the
Photograph score board. which has
been installed in Dahlgren Hail. 1t is
expected large crowd will gather in
the building to see the big game in
miniature.
Two years ago when the game was
played at West Point, the naval folks
received the returns in like manner,
and the enthusiasm was quite as great
as if the crowds had been gathered
