They worked wonders in doing so,
ana despite the manifest discomfnrts
Oh dall! rains and perpetual mud
they have in Pountanezen provided a
halfway station between the battle
front and home Which is second TO
none IN the world. PountaneZen is
about seven or eight miles outside OF
the town itself. Its present capacity
is about 10000. Within three months
1t VIII have been expanded to take
care of 10000.
The embarkation hospital at ker-
huon, separated only few hundred
yards from pountaneZen. will ultI-
nately have a capacity for caring for
l3,tSU cases. 1t can now care for

plants are near completion. The plans
when finally worked out will provide
accommodations for three-fifths of the
military establishment maintained by
the United States on European soil.
1t Is gigantic task, this making II

and well, but it is one that the men

can accomplish under the most un-

To Keep the Well Diverted.
The big thing. as the responsible
olnclhlS view it. is to provide the
healthy men with diversion to keen
them not only out of mischief but in
good spirits While waiting for trans
portation. Men who have been living
next door to death and constantly un-

Is the purpose OF the officials reSpOn-
Sible for their welfare to keep them
occupied so that they will not miss
the tumult of war or brood too much
upon the delay of getting home
Up to date the chief occupation of
the 10000 men who are centered here
has been confined TO speculation as to
dates OF departure and taking close
up view of the few attractions Of
Brest.

SHOPS DEFEATED 26 TO 8

One of the best football games of
he season was played Tuesday after
noon when a combination of High
school and town team defeated the
Shop team by a score Of 26 to 8.
A game had been scheduled for
this date between Winslow and Flag
staff but at the last minute Flagstaff
.elephoned that they would be unable
to come and the Shop team came
forward in the emergency and helped
1ut. We understand this team is
going to play some games in Califor-
mia and we feel certain they will
make good showing. Outweighed
and handicapped by the loss of
Lawrence Hitchcock, who was hurt in
defensive game and showed that they
had the making of a real team.
The team representing the High
school was the best aggregation of
-ootball players Winslow people have
5een in a long time and our citizens
Ire Wiling TO DacK tnem against
most anything in the state.
The most exciting feature Of the
game was a touchdown made by Hub
BARD who recovered the ball on the
kickoff on his own twenty yard line
md carried it the whole length of the
field for a touchdown. Hubbard,
Jones and Clark were all consistent
ground gamers and the work of But
ton at quarter and Fisher and Wyrick
at ends was commendable.
The one score the Shop team made
was obtaind by a bautiful drop kick
from the forty yard line by Lawrence

HOLBR0Ka aWINSLOW
TENNIS TOURNAMENT

Considerable excitement was shown
last Sunday by the local tennis fans

to qlay the first game Of the inter
city series. Though Holbrook was
quite successful in the first set after
that it was Winslow that did most of
the scoring
Curley and Funk of Holbrook took
Mansfield and Sheriff. on first, tho
the sets were 6-3 and GA the game
was very interesting. Jordon and
Mott of Holbrook were easily defeat
ed by Anderson and Keyes, score q
6 and Is.
Then came more excitement when
Anderson took Curley of Holbrook
on for single, which was easy for
Anderson as Curleys stroke was not
breaking in his favor Both men
played good and exciting tennis.
Score 2-6 and 1-6.
Next was Jordon of Holbrook
against Mansfield and in spite of the
the first quarter, they put up good
balls hitting the net too often the
men played a good steady game. The
score was Sc when play was called
On account of darkness.
The series will be fought to the
finish in Holbrook next Sunday at 10
a. m, and no doubt but what the
local team will make a good showing
and ''brlng the bacon home"
The line up for Sunday will be;
Jordon VS.. Mansfield, one set played
at Winslow; Funk VS.. Keyes; Mott
