American Soldiers Stationed There
Have Facilities for Almost
Every Kind Of Sport

Elaborate preparations were made at
Coblenz, Germany, for the football sea-

Third army championships were de-
cided last season, but the ground at
that time was not in as good con-
dition as 1t Is today. Neither were
there proper facilities, such as dress
ing rooms.
At this island there are now two reg
mar baseball fields, two football fields,
golf course of nine holes, polo
ground, quarter-mile cinder track.
with 300 yard straightaway. and out
door basketball courts. On another
part Is ring for horse shows and nine
tennis courts.
Suitable bleachers to accommodate
5000 spectators have been built, and
there also are large number of prop
erly equipped dressing rooms with
showers, rubbing tables and store
rooms.
Not only at Coblenz are there
grounds available for the soldiers, but
at Andernach, Montabaur, and Neu-
wied the old grounds left by the A. e.
