the 8O1st Machine Gun Battalion of Camp Devens. showed the All-stars of tnis city under at St. Marys play mounds Saturday afternoon. The final x Soore was 21 to o. It can be said z without fear of contradiction that the victory of the soldier boys was not Qasappointing to the home folks, who cneered a every opportunity for the ohAps now serving Uncle Sam. In winning over the locals, the players showed very clearly the benefits de- raved from a military training, and the sxcsllent tutoring of Lieutenant Daily < showed itself in the team work of the Victorious eleven.
 8 Following tho street parade from StAo State Armory to the field, the 1aembers of the City and Home Guards 1uod upon either side of the field. md when the National Army arrived on tho greensward, a mighty cheer was accorded them. Under Captain Daiy. the boys gave an exhibition drill thA* will be long remembered. Par ents, sisters and brothers of boys In tho army. looked on with amazement as they watched their beloved friends < 70 through the military work. It seemed almost impossible that the few short weeks spent at the cantonment could bring about such @ knowledge of drilling, and the exhibition given ty the boys only strengthened the statements of so many of them, that besides being the finest fellow in the world. Capain Daly is also an exceel- len1 military official. On the com- past1or of the drill. the boys from Camp Devens walked to the east side Of the field where their cheering Was carried on and it proved one of the features of the day Immediately at the close of the drill the City and Home Guards took possession of ex- oellent places of vantage to watch the game.
 Naughton's Gar First
 When the first sounds of the npusio were heard in the distance, the crowd commenced to pile into the enclosure, with the usual number of "pikers" noticed working their way through the unprotected places around the field. Had the corr. .nittee only known of their attitude toward assisting such worthy cause. this class would have received complimentary tickets In a few minutes after James J. Naughton and family had entered the auto gate. MT. Naughton's car being the first on
 
 with cars. The invited guests were 1 escorted to the seats allotted on the l west side of the field, and contained General G. M. Cole, Colonel Burpee and Chaplain Diffenbach of the Homo Guard, Mayor Quigley and his guests and the clergy of the city. The mem bers of the women's auxiliary commit tee and friends were also seated in the reserved section.
 The Garne.
 The football elevens arrived at the AeId about the same time, and ran through signals for about 10 minutes. At the outset, it could be seen that tho Army team was a fast, snappy eleven and that Captain Ginsberg's boys were in for g. hard tussle. In tho visitors lineup were Hartman, Koplowitz, Sullivan and Robtoy. 'sYump'' Johnson of Hartford and Mckay tho former Trinity captain were recognized as familiar faces by many. 'Chick" Bonenfant and Tom my Coyle, were in uniform but did not rot . chance to enter the battle. After tho captains had tossed the coin and . short conference was held with the ofi3cials, the Army elected to defend ths north goal and the game was on.
 Captain Mckay booted the pigskin to Captain Ginsberg (this was not due to oourtesy) and the elongated lead CT of the locals was soon downed in his fSaoks.
 Tho soldiers came into possession of the ball on a tumble and imme- diately started a procession down the field. On the 10-yard line soldier was detected holding and the touch down scored by the Army was disal- lowed. Captain Mckay dropped back for a field goal try and made it good with a perfect boot from the 25-yard Nne. The period ended a few minutes later. During the rest Lieutenant Daly gave the boys sharp talk and when they lined up at the commence ment of the second period, more dash was shown in their playing.
 Captain Mckay again kicked off to S.aptain Ginsberg who ran but short distance when he found two Army players ready to down him. After series of rushes which availed the home eleven naught, schofleld was forced to punt Once again the Army .tarted an onslaught which resulted n Perrin going over for touchdown. Mckay failed to kick goal. After the k,ckoff which fell in Ginsberg's out .+retched arms, the locals braced and Connolly made Il yards around the end. An attempt at a forward pass failed for the home team on the fourth down and the whistle ended the first half.
 During the intermission, the gold an football" presented by F. c. Mon fer, was handed to Captain Mckay oi the Army who bowed his acknowl' odgement.
