CAMP LIBRARY SUPPLIED
WITH BEST TYPE DRAMAS
Works Of Shakespeare and Other
High Grade Authors included
in Collection.

"All the worlds a stage" said
Shakespeare, and never has this been
80 true as today, with the drama in
it's heyday, both in Europe and
America. Fifty years ago the drama
was q somewhat discredited form OF
literary explosion, but revival has
taken place. and the drama, rapidly
coming to the fore, threatens to sup
plant the novel ~. -
The Camp Meade library is supplied
with the best works Of both the
older and the more modern drama-
lists. Shakespeare In man forms 10

playwrights, - Galsw0rthy, Barrie

One Of the salient pfsstufes Of the
modern drama To- the rise Of a series

Among these. Lord Dunsany's plays

perhaps the best. These few short

swEEzEY1TEs AGAIN WIN,
Ball Tossers Successful Against
Mount st. Joseph.

Another successful offensive was
conducted Saturday afternoon by the
313th Regiments base ball team. This
time the advance OF the Sweeseyites
was made against Mount st. Joseph's
bail tossers. AS in the case of the
attack on Jack Dunn's Orioles two,
weeks ago. the soldier boys had an
easy time OF 1t. downing the Joseph
ties in a seven-inning engagement, Is
to 3.
The Meadites were short several Of
their regular men, who were on pass
leave, but at that they put up slash
ing game. Bill King, who hurled in
the Blue Ridge League last year. Was
on the mound and he served up an
article OF ball that probably would
have proved bafning to any team In
this section Of the woods. He allowed
the lads from Irvington only three
hits and famed fifteen. He whitfield
the side in both the second and fifth
innings. Once he made Ave breeze in
a row and later in the contest six
went out in succession by the strike
out route. King gave no base on balls,
though he hit two men.
Bruf and Baker played practically
the whole fielding game for the
Sweezeyites. The catcher had four
teen putouts, the first baseman six
a runner trying to steal third. Carney
got one of the three assists and Bruff
the two others. 1t was a freak COM
test in that way. Only four balls
pitched by King were hit to the out
field.
