and Mai. r. K Brown, new squadron
commander, is due to arrive within the
next few weeks This pair, teamed
with Capt. Cunningham and another

Sixteenth Fled Artillery of Fort Myer
has lost the services of Capt. Joe Tate,
who goes TO West Point, and Capt. Fred
erick Sharp, another familiar hgure on
the Potomac Park oval. These losses
are partially overshadowed by the aooi-
ton of Mai. Cortlandt Parker. Tor sew
eral seasons a mainstay with the war
Whites. Mai. Parker has been welding
a rnallet since 1906 and his experience
combined with the speed and accuracy
OF Lieut.. Mcclure and Lieut.. Benson
should provide the Artillerymen with
q well balanced team.

est losses. Mai. Parker's transfer came
close upon the heels of the loss Of Col.

to replace Mai. Parker. Gen. Frank
Parker. Mai. Chaffee and Maj Hoyle
are the present mainstays Of the White

One Of the sensations of last weeks
pIay In Potomac Park was the show
ing of the newly organized War Yellow
team, which defeated Loudoun-Fauquier
polcists Of Middleburg, Va, In decisive
fashion. Capt Shafer has organized a
quartet worth watching, with Mas.
woodward and Crittenberger and Capt.
Hastey supporting him.

Mai. Ralph Talbot, Maj. Eager, recent
" transferred here from Panama; Ma.
j. T. McIane, Capt. Legge and Capt.
