FEATURES RACE WITH MELLEN

relay" he said.
Hunt lost the second heat of the
220 dash because he fell over the line.
Mel1en was the winner and ran so
consistently that Hunt was overtaken
and outrun in the final dash.
The boys were interested in the an
nouncement made by Secretary Sweet,

athletic meet would be held in Pat
terson Park. Baltimore. September IL,
when three silver cups would be of

player in the final squirt Those spiked
shoes help lot in that shifting sand.

Lieut.. Feist had his hands full in

Whitman's well known smile never
left him.
The-boys had real walters at their
banquet. Everything was served,
even to- Maryland duck and good old

1t never became known to the Ger
mans, but Battery A, 311th. F. A.. did
not sail with the rest of the regiment.

which. 1t was alleged, was found in
the pipes OF the base hospital one
day he and his friends got busy.
The water was traced all the way
from the>pumping station to the base
