king BASE BALL YIELDS
TOVOLLEYBALL IN CAMP
Popularity OF VoIley Ball Among Sol
diers Surprises All Old Base
ball Fans.

What are the favOrite games with
the soldiers in training camps in the
southeastern division? The immediaj"
response would naturally be baseball
However, this is not correct, according
to the latest statistical report com
piled by R. C. Cubbon, Army y. M. c..
A. physical director for the southeast
ern division, aided by the the 126 phys.
ical directors in the camps. Their tg-
ures of the number Of games played
and the number of men participating
show that volley ball is the most pep
uIar of all sports
There was a time when baseball was
the most popular sport in the camps,
and in the month of March it was
three times as popular as any other
game, but in the following month the
newly introduced game of Volley ball
was taken by the soldiers with the
greatest of enthusiasm and the report
OF the physical directors in the camps
of the southeastern department show
that commencing with the month Of
April volley ball has easily held first
place as the most popular sport with
the soldiers.
This is very easily understood when
, it is explained that volley ball can be
played in very small space about
the size of tennis court. The sol
diers with little practice can become
quite expert in the game. Another fea-
ture is that all of the players ON both
sides are playing the entire time, (nO
bench warming) and the games do noI
| last nearly so long as baseball, in fact
not much longer than the average
baseball inning. The only equipment
needed for this game is one ball and
one net.
Playground baseball is another game
that is making great hit with the
| soldiers and now ranks fourth in pop
ularity. This game also can be play
ed in a small space, the distances be-
tween bases being only thirty feet
In this game large, soft ball is used
and the pitcher is required to use the
underhand throw. All the skill of the
parent game of baseball is required
| for playground ball and the playing
has all the thrills and tense moments
that Is to be had in the national past
| time.
AS an entertainer boxing is very
much in the limelight in the camps
and like baseball has an immense fol
lowing of devotees. Providing games
of entertainment is of no small import
ance in the camps as it is shown in the
physical directors report that 905,375
spectators were in attendance at 143,
348 games in which 662,056 soldiers
participated in Y. M. c. A. games.
