The thousands of Jackies swarm ov-
er the field. Hundreds of them break
and run for the beach for q swim. A
crowd of them gather at target prac-
tice with small rifles. Six Of the ten
baseball diamonds are promptly put in
to use by scrub teams.
And then more launches from the
battlesh1ps come in bringing the star
baseball teams from four of the bat
tleships. A double-header Is to be
played between four of the best teams
Of the Fleet in a series to determine
the Fleet championship. The grand
stands fill rapidly and soon they are

It is the liberality Of private Ameri-

ground has been leveled. ploughed and
prepared. Ten baseball diamonds have
been laid out Docks were built at
the waters edge. A bothing beach
was cleared.
The officers of the Fleet also were
provided with tennis courts and golf
course. Every sort of sport is found
there. The result is that every man
on the Fleet has plenty Of health out

say that this provision for their recre-

opportunity to strike a blow at the
Huns in defense Of civilization and
