ZOwie! Troop Four
Initiates New Members

Troop held its meeting last Mon
day evening. The minutes were read
and a new scout was admitted into
the troop, whose name is Joseph
Climber.
We were shown some snapshots of
our soldier boys who are down South
and over there. We went outside and
did the scout pace around the block.
When we returned we found sack
of apples and they tasted fine. The
thanks go to Mr.. Hallman, our scout
master, who produced them.
We moved that we adjourn, which
was seconded and passed. After the
meeting we took our scouts out for
a little initiation up in Reservoir
Park. After fElling over many
things blindfolded and so forth they
were taken out in the country and
left. We laid in wait for them and
finally they came walking past us,
never seeing us. We followed them
and they lay hiding from us, but we
found them and we went home to-
gether.
A new patrol was organized in
Troop and Alex Wieland was made
patrol leader. 1t was decided that
we name it the Pine Tree Patrol and
we hope to make it as good as the
original Pine Tree Patrol was.

Fans Never Fell For Hart
as Heavyweight Champ

II is, just 10 years ago that Joe
Walcott, the BLACK Demon of Bar
bados," passed in his checks as a
fighter.
The former champion of the welter-
weights, who was one of the creates.
hghters of all time. engaged in his
last important ring battle on Novem-
her 29, 1906, when he fought Honey
Melody. The eX-demon was pounded
all over the ring, and was at last
brsught to the realization that he was
all in as a fighter. He was then in
his thirty-fifth year. but it was not
age that ended his pugilistic career,
but a bullet Walcott was fond of
sporting a, gun, One night he was
showing off at a dance, and acci-
dentally sent a bullet through his
trusty right-the fist that had won
him over 100 battles. After that he
was one-handed fighter, and natur-
ally couldn't last.
Joe was born in British Guiana in
1872, and later removed to the neigh
boring West Indian Island of Ba.-
bados. There he worked at various
jobs, and eventually became a human
punching bag in gym" At first
his shape was source Of amuse
ment, for he was almost as wide as

KHAKI IMAKES MEN
BETTER PLAYERS
Jack Holland Takes Optimis-
tic View of 1919 in Base
ball World

ChicagO-Jack Holland is the own
er of the st. Joe club of the Western
League Jack is also the acting
president of that organization, and
Jack Holland says that the baseball
of 1919 will be of a higher caliber
than any the fans have seen in many
and many a year.
This Jack Holland sustains his
argument in a most peculiar manner.
He says that the players will play
better baseball because of their eX-
perience in tn army
alexander will be a great pitcher
because Alexander will be bigger.
a broader man." said Holland
Among the things that Alexander
has been taught as a soldier are dis
cipline and morale, and he has been
given a new viewpoint of life. What
applies to, Alexander is equally true
OF every ballplayer who went into
the service. l am merely using him
as illustration.
THE average ballplayer knew
little of the life when he entered the
service, and especially the average
major league athletic. He went into
the game when young, accepted hero
worship and adulation as matter
of course; assumed that travelling in
luxury and living in splendid hotels
were his due, and the only time he
was concerned was when the service
was a little slow.
He knew nothing of real discipline
and less of morale. Now? He rea-
Lies their value. Actual contact has
taught him that the American boys
were winners because they were so
determined to win that nothing could
stop them. That feeling will save
many a player when he gets into the
diamond game back home. There
will be more hustle, more fight more
games won in the last innings than
we have ever witnessed, and those
are the qualities that arouse enthu-
siasm and draw the fans.
Those players who have seen SER
vice in the army will have greater
appreciation for the luxuries provid-
ed and their stories will quickly con-
vince the fellows who didn't go
across that their lot is a happy one.
And, above all. the army has
broadened, has widened, has educated
the men. It's difficult to see how
any man could witness and partici-
rate in the great struggle, observe
the heroic deeds of the battlefield
and retain any of the littleness that
was his
