Yesterday was Navy Yard day

down to the lowest non-com-

on the occasion of the first Off
cial field day. Athletic events
for all classes of individuals
were held; several Red Cross
booths furnished light lunch
cons, and the whole stadium
was decorated with United
States flags and call flags of the
Navy. Just prior to the official
opening of the affair a company
of marines went through some
simple evolutions and the man.

sailors gave an exhibition drill

Following the drills the two hundred

events drew up before the section of
the stands reserved for Capt. Willard,

were addressed by him

men today, Johnson being re-
turned victorious over Watson

Perry got 5-to-2 verdict over

entirely too good for the Ath-

sessions in the wind-up battle,
in each of which he issued pass
and both developed into runs,
the first coming with two alien
doubles and the second with one

fellow who did not look like he could
run forty yards in a week. However,
the sailor stepped over ground faster
than anybody in the kaiser's army has
gone in the last two weeks. which.
according to reports, means tnat ne
was going some. When the race was
over it developed that the slender
gentleman was none other than Van
derwast, champion sprinter OF the
whole Atlantic fleet for several years.
Probably 1000 spectators sat in the
stands during the sultry afternoon to
watch the competition. which showed
much more than the average interest

splendid sportsmanship was evidenced
