The tourist had it coming all right.

day he made me order cold tea for
breakfast when had my mind on

cause he wanted to loosen up about
the swimmers that he knew at some
half-portion town on the mainland.
After he had got through gargfing
lot about aquatics he said he mag
ined that Duke would give his friends
who try out on the North Fork OF
Scriggins creek a good test Then he
casually remarked, as he let soft

Especial Star Bulletin correspondence)


SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, II. T.,
Aug. 28.-The baseball team from the
cruiser st. Louis dropped anchor at
Schofield Barracks Sunday and en-
gagged the 18th Infantry team in nine
inning contest. This was the first
meeting with the Wrecking Crew. and
after hostilities had ended the navy
had wholesome respect for this one
particular Fart of the army.
There was too much Johnson and
Rogan to make the game very evenly
fought. This battery did most of the
execution and the other big guns OF
the home fleet were not needed.
Rogan famed 20 of the 81 men who
faced him. He allowed the jackies
but two Eits, one of which was
scratch and only one of the cruis-
er's crew got beyond first base. Those
men who reached the initial station
very kindly attempted to steal second,
where they were tagged by Mr.. john
son, with one exception, and that was
because shcrtstop dropped the throw.
Rogan, in four times at bat, hit
twice and scored two runs. Johnson,
in five times up, hit four times, one
single, enc trinle, and two homeruns.
He also scored four runs, which gives
him very good day average.
The crowd Ct fans enjoyed the game
Notwithstanding the one-sided score
and caeered vociferously when any OF
the visitors were lucky enough to foul
the ball. There were over 100 paid
admissions to the park, which clearly
shows that the Schofield fans will sup
port the national game, Yesterday $
crowd was about the same size. There
is no doubt but what any first class
team, recognized as such by the fans,
can draw over thousand gate any
time they wish to come out mere and

TONIGHT AT THE ~"

TUESDAY night al the Is
the hue and the cry
OF the broker and banker and
fan.
It's welcome to them. It's
the one greeting gem
For yollmer and LANCER and :
Cam.
Two hundred or more will
jam through the door
OF the place where the eats are
all spread
And it's on with the swim and
honor to him
Who suggests that we all
should be fed.
There1l be guys with the
inumps and some in the
dumps
A grabbin' off feed by the haul.
There'll be ricl geezers there
with braid in their hair
And others with no hair at all.
The starter will cry: "On your
marks there. big guy"
And some man with a mouth
full of cheese
Will stand on a chair, run his
hands thru his hair
And utter some words just like
these:
Il m really surprised"-oh how
that man lies.
He knew he was booked for a
spiel.
Then he pulls the old bluff, It's
all writ on his cuff
As long as q Paramount reel.
There's one guy who means to
dig into the beans,
While he's listenin' to talk on
aquatics.
Ii they'll PASS him the soup,
He'll give a loud whoop
For swimmin' for golf or rheu-
matics,
But eatin ain't ail-There1l be
many a call
On what is the secret OF swim
ming.
There'H be the old gag ana
chewing the rag
On new bathing suits for the
wimin.
Duke will be there--He was
known to declare
That his talk was gem in the
rough.
Some other guy wrote it-He
said not to quote 1t
But lay all the blame onto
Tough.
And then there's the Mayor,
who'll dish out a layer
OF welcomes to all of the
bunch.
And while he is greetin' some
guys will be eatin'
And spoil all the looks OF the
lunch.
Then w. R. F. in his choice
treble clef
Will call ON some others to
speak.
They'll get up amazed. an.
nounce that they're dazed
They've bee ntryin' their spiel
for a week.
See what Glenn Jackson done
when he started the fun.
He didn't know quite what 1t
meant.
Think of 200 there, enjoying a
square
And the eats don't cost EN- a
cent.
Here's to Herbert and Ted-to
Ludy, Old Head.
May they have good success
with the wimin.
May they grab heaps OF gold
and never grow old,
But well leave out the toast
for the swimmin.
