A pump receives the overflow from the canteen and those who have been unable to spend their money for candy or pop take their chances on getting tucked under the pump. A farmer drives onto the field with load of watermellons. At fifty cents apiece his watermelons last about fifty sec onds. A colored cooks helper buys
 melon and dives into it when a huge hand belonging to Jackie from
 an Indiana farm buries the darky's face into the melon up to his ears. Another enterprising farmer brings some old farm nags on the field to hire them out for 'gentlemen's mounts to the sailors. Obviously the horses are about as used to their saddles as
 hog is to work But they are hired by the sailors at any price the farmer asks. A lad hailing from Maine takes lis first chance on horseback down he horses neck. His shipmate yells
 at him, "Go aft, you fool, go aft" The thousands of Jackies swarm ov.
 CT the field. Hundreds of them break and run for the beach for swim. A rrowd of them gather at target prac. tice with small rifles. Six of the ten baseball diamonds are promptly put into use by scrub teams.
 And then more launches from the battleships come in bringing the star
 baseball teams from four of the bat tleships. A double-header is to be played between the four of the best cams of the Fleet in a series to de-
 ermine the Fleet championship. The
 rand stands fill rapidly and soon they re a swelling sea of white suits and red and brown faces as the sailors cheer their ships teams on to vic tory. Battling good ball is played by these Navy teams. The nine men on he diamond represent the pick of a housand from a battleship and they play with the interest and a good bit )f the money of the crey backing hem They train and work for aonths for a championship series like this.
 It is the liberality of private Amer ican citizens that has given these men of the Fleet their big athletic field. When the war came on the Fleet lost nome it usually had for its ath- ic fund from the Guantanamo can zen and the Navy League of the Un. ted States offered to lay out field for the men of the fleet. In all about f15 acres have been obtained. The round has been leveled. ploughed and prepared Ten baseball diamonds have been laid out. Docks were built at the waters edge. A bathing beach was cleared. The officers of the Fleet also were provided with tennis courts and golf course. Every sort of sport s found there The result is that ev- -v man on the Fleet has plenty of
 ' 7 outdoor sport and the officers Fee; say that this provision tier recreation has done much provide happy ships" in the Fleet 7s 1t waits for the opportunity to strike a blow at the Huns in defence
 of civilization and freedom.

HOW THE JACKIES ANU SE THEMSELVES ON
 BIG ATLANTIC FLEET WHILE WAITING ACTION

WITH THE UNITED STATES AT LANTIC FLEET, June 17th.-It is ? bells in the afternoon watch when the shrill trill of the bos'n's whistles are heard piping the crews of the mighty dreadnoughts to the rails and the sing song cries of the bos'n's mates carry out over the water, Liberty party to muster"
 This is the summons given three times each week to the men of the Atlantic Fleet to take their hours of recreation on the immense athletic field provided for them by the Navy League. By the hundreds, on every battleship and cruiser, the youthful, white uniformed Jackies come rushing on deck to form into line for the lib- erty inspection.
 Two long white lines form on deck and every man stands rigidly at at -ention, while officers pass along mark ing the appearance of each one. Their uniforms are spotlessly white. Their shoes freshly blackened. Of come their little round white caps to show that their hair is closely cropped No visitor to the Fleet fails to be struck when he views that line at inspection, with the extreme youth of the men, their intelligent faces and happy, smart appearance The average age appears to be less than twenty years and many of them seem barely to have passed their eighteenth birthday on the date of their enlistment. From every state in the Union they hail and thousands Of them from the farms of the middle West. A collection cer- tainly Of Americas finest gathered on the deck of a floating fortress to form the first line of the nations defense.
 On every sun tanned face is worn broad smile in expectation of the sport that the afternoon will bring. Over the rail, the visitor sees the ships launches bobbing about in the seaway with the bowmen holding fast to the ships side with their boathooks Then the sharp word of command rings out or leck and the white line of sailors l. IS to move forward the gangway and the men go over the side 10 the waiting launches.
 Discipline begins to give way a lit e ar this point, although the coxswain 9f the boat is all business as he calls to the bowmen to shove off. The af ternoon's recreation has begun. Thou sands of superfluously healthy, ab- soIutely carefree and very young men are turned loose To be sure there Is the provost guard with their police mems sticks, but that is only 10 guard against the chance Of ugly blood de- veloping from the fun, which does not happen.
 When the dock at the athletic field is reached the men from the launches tumble out pell nell and immediately begins a raid upon the canteen. Pop s sold faster than corkg can be pulled The man who gets anything over the cantcen counter fights for it. You must come with your change ready or go without. There is too much bus |! hess to stop to change money.
