In one Of the prettiest pitchins
duels seen on the local diamond this
season, the Highlanders nosed out
Barlow in the ninth frame, winning
the game by score of to 2. Goodc
was on the mound for the locals
while Curtis was opposing him and
both twirlers were in perfect shape,
pitching gilt edge ball and running
neck to neck until the ninth when the
locals landed on Curtis for two bin
giles, which put Goode in the lead.
The local Bearcat should have scored
shut out as he allowed but three
flts during the entire game and each
OF these were scattered, but errors.
coupled with hit, allowed the visit
ors to tie the score.
How the Game Was Won
Nance, first man up in the ninth,
paved the way to victory with a clean
single to center and Poland who fol-
lowed him, moved him up peg with
a bunt in front of the plate, both
runners being safe when Curtis
pegged wide to second. After Thrash
er had advanced both runners, Smith
spread gloom over the fans by pop
ping to short. With Nance on third
and Poland on second and two down,
the old standby Bugs Ery came
trotting to the plae with smile all
over his face but with a look of de-
termination. Curtis was undecided
what to offer the batter, but finally
decided to shoot a fast one on tho
outside corner. Ery saw 1t coming
and with healthy swing of the bat
stung the ball on the nose for a clean
single to left, scoring the winning
run. My, but that was a sweet tune
that Fry played with his trusty war
club. 1t sounded like willie Is

The Legislature was busy today clear

position of two "bone dry" measures.
The Senate back tracked on the
amendment to the seizure and de-

the State to give liquor seized to hos
pitals for medicinal purposes when
needed.
Senator Worley, who secured the
adoption of the amendment last Mon
day, fought CALAMITY to prevent re
consideration today, but the anti
Saloon League rallied its forces sue
cessfully.
The House, however, defeated en-
final consideration the bone dry bill
which provides that officers who ar
rest and convict bone dry offenders
should receive 20 per cent of the
fines collected. 1t was the first de-
feat for a prohibition bill in several
years. Representative Hauk oppos-
ed this bill and made several talks

Reports of Shocking Conditions at Brest
Unfounded, According to Inhabitants

These officers claim that the sick and
death rate in Brest, which handles
more American troops than any other
port, is the lowest of any camp in
France.
A private from California admitted
that Camp Pontanezen is less attrac-
tive than Camp Lewis, that it prob
ably is less comfortable and that cer-
tainly the streets are infinitely mud
der, but declared that it is "the best
camp in France"
He was asked why.
Because" he replied, "they feed
you right here"
"What do you mean by 'right?"
"Well, there's lots of it, it's good,
and you don't have to wait for it.
Why, they had hot chocolate and
things for US when we got off the
train and hot dinner ready when we
got to camp, although it was in the
middle of the night. Don't let 'em
kid you, this is white mans camp"
Afterward, the correspondent talk

regarding the camp received unani-

BREST, Feb. 21.-Brest may not
be the best military base in the world,
but it is far from the worst, in the
opinion of officers and men perman-
emily stationed here.
An investigation, conducted under
such circumstances as the situation
will permit, failed to substantiate
charges that Brest is "pest hole" or
that the men are victims of misman-
agement.. 1t is true that in common
with much of western France there is
a superabundance Of mud, but this is
due to climatic and geological con-
ditions. This could not be avoided,
as Brest was selected as base be-
cause of strategic and geographical
reasons. Reports of shocking food
and sanitary conditions are unfound-
ed, according to the inhabitants of the
camp themselves.
Rumors are understood to have
been circulated in the United States
that 5000 American soldiers died in
Brest during September and October
of last year. The facts are, according
Ito figures given the correspondent,
that from November, 1917, when
Camp Pontanezen--Where soldiers
are congregated to await transpor-
tation home-was established, up to
the first of the present month, there
we're 2,19f deaths from all causes4
This includes the victims of the pneu-
monia and influenza epidemic during
September and October, most Of whom
are said to have become infected
either en- route here or before they
left the United States. 1t also in
cludes $40 who died aboard ship while
coming over. These figures were au-
thorized by General Eli Relmick, base
commander; General Smedley Butler,
commandant at Camp Pontanezen
and oClonel Guy Edie, base surgeon.
