BASEBALL IN THE WOODS

The game on Friday between the
Wagon Train and the Horseshoers was
the first game of the season. Although
neither side had had any practice skill
was shown by both teams. The work
of both pitchers was one of the fea-
lures of the game. Heller, for the
horseshoers, and Kennedy for the
Wagon Company. did good work at
first. Pitcher DeyeIin allowed thirteen
hits while fourteen We're gathered from
the deliveries of Gawanis
The game was close and drew spec
tators from the officers and enlisted
men. Lieut.. Nolechech umpired the
game and Lieut.. Morris gave decisions
on the bases. The work of both UNI
pires was impartial and satisfactory
to both teams.
One of the side issues of the game
was the kidding of the impires by their
brother officers.

were at a decided disadvantage be-
cause Of their utter lack of practice.

be one of the biggest contributions OF
the United states to the war. These
machines already are travelling the air
from the factories to ports of tpar-
ture. American aviators have been
anxious to make the complete trip
across. but they have been held up
because of the problem Of fuel. Now
n plan has been devised whereby par
cnt ships will be sent out TO certain
