While the crowd was assembling
Friday night there was a contest in
dart throwing. X was a William Tell
event and with no girl under the
apple. Wise was it that no girl was
there. Many wild and savage throws
were made that rent the atmosphere
near the apple, but failed to touch it,
Finally M. w. Oliver speared an
apple. J. c. Vivran, b. Grunest A.
Mulman and A. T. Lusty after some
wild throws did likewise
In throwing the medicine ball back
ward j. A. Colen took first place and
b. w. Butler second.
X. A. Harrison won the rope climb
ing contest. After shooting off tie
j. A. CIllins took the chief prize in
tho basket ball throw. with B. w.
Butler taking the lesser one.
In the next event, the standing
broad jump or, better. sliding broad
Jump, much coaching from the side
lines seemed necessary 1t was
though: for time that many requisi-
tions would have to be made on the
quartermaster's department. Thanks
TO the good quality of the o. D., all
was we'll c. w. Gillidette won. with
". r. Worthington and l.. w. Werner
tied for second. G. D. Idean won in
a similar event for small men.
ID" Hut Notes.
D hut was busy Friday, the boys
putting on their various stunts. One
thing that was quite noticeable was
that good many of the old standbys
were gone. but those of the boys who
are left are surely making things in
teresting.
Terry Jones. the little boxing de-
mon, was on hand, but hereafter we
will have-to change his name to some
little mild parlor name in order to get
bout for him. We will change that
hsTSe name of his from Terry to Pts
tol Pete or some other mild name
we had quite number of aspirants
for the endurance race. which was a
topnotcher. Many times the bows
brought the house to it's feet in this
race before a winner was declared. /
am sure the lucky one deserved the
prize. Rope climbing Is quite popular.
After ten of the boys had contested
II was won by Company A, 417th Labor
bureau. One-leg race was quite hard
20 decide with So many crossing the
tape at the same time. All the bows
who took part received candy and
fruit.
Throwing for goals was the real
stunt OF the evening. After many of
the boys tried by the elimina ton
fellows who were actually experts at
goal punting. The highest score was
nve out of six trials. His record will
stand until next Friday at least.
We had splendid night of enter
tainment. Don't forget that base ball
team in the labor bureau. They know
20 defeat. With Capt. Brinkley lead
ing the boys with the stick. Martin
behind the bat. Vanderbilt on the
mound. with Melvin holding down any
position, it is a team that is hard to
beat.
The boys from 18th Company (whitel
came down with blood in their eyes
Sunday determined to win. 1t was a
pitchers battle for four innings. be-
tween Brinkley of Labor Bureau and
Sergeant of 10Th Company. After two
men were out Martin hit for the cir
cult. 1t paved the way for victory
for Labor Bureau. Oh, that ninth in
ming finish.
In the last half of the ninth the
score was Is to 3 in favor of 18th
Company. But after two homers. one
three dagger. a few singles and some
more singles, the score was: Labor
Bureau. IA; 10th Company. I3 The
boys came away singing I'VE have
met the enemy and they are ours"
