GAME ALL ONE WAY.
Battery B Team Gives Scrubs an
Awful Drubbing.

Battery 3 Of the 311th Field Artil-
lery gave their scrubs an unmerciful
drubbing Sunday morning on the Ma
tional Junior Republic grounds. The
game became so one-sided it was
necessary for the first team to bat
left handed. SO it's members would not
be late for reveille the next morning.
The game was featured by Imbert's
clever pitching, Burns batting and
Koch's base running. The Scrubs still
think they compare with, the first
team and they do, but the comparison
is obvious. >
