CAMP LEWIS BALL TEAMS
 LINING UP

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, April 1S.- plenty of baseball this summer. Doz- ems of baseball grounds, some of them resembling the corner lot variety and others approaching the standard of those of the professional leagues, have been supplying recreation for hun dreds of soldiers in the afternoon and just before sunset, after retreat has been sounded.
 At least two games a week with teams of the Pacific Coast Interna- tional League have been assured. These will be played when the teams are at Tacoma. Either the Tacoma games will be cancelled on days when they play at Camp Lewis, or the games will be played late in the afternoon, after retreat has been sounded
 The daylight-saving law is giving a great impetus to baseball. It means another hour of daylight after retreat, which is sounded at o'clock, and full nine-inning games can be played with out any trouble with darkness
 There are inter-company teams play ing for regimental championships, inter-regimental teams playing for the division championship, and a division team, drawn from the best baseball talent of the camp, which will meet outside teams at Camp Lewis and other cities of the Northwest.
 Baseball practice has been going on at intervals since February, whenever a few days of sunshine dried the rain soaked grounds sufficiently. Baseball .paraphernalia is carried into the train ing grounds and trenches, where this sort of recreation is popular during the noon hour. Virtually every com pany has its own equipment, and to this has been added equipment sup piled by the Young Mems Christian Association in its athletic work.
