Both Maj. W. H. Dorm, head
Judge, and 1t. Col Wallace M.
Craigie, commandant of the high
school cadets. commented today on
the earnestness of the cadets as
they began what may become a
, lengthy military career,
Maj. Dorm also called attention
to the cadets effort to make their
three-pound wooden guns seem ex-
actly like the eight-pound Spring
fields returned by the schools to
the Army.
They have adapted themselves
to the guns splendidly," said Col.
Craigie, land the entire spirit of
the drill has been admirable"
AS the sun grew hotter, the con-
cession stands ran out of soft
drinks and each vendor of ice cream
was swamped as soon as he ap-
peared in the stands. The dozens
of school principals and admins
traitors attending the drill were
bufieted by students swarming down
into the box seats reserved for
officials.
Stands Well Filled.

tive company drill. the stands were
well sprinkled with spectators at

other reasonably good catcher avail
able. Private Watkins went in and
did his best, which wasn't anywhere
near good enough. Then the only
way that the SOU team could finish
the game was to tear up it's entire
organization by putting Turner be-
hind the bat and bringing Mccoy,
who had been temporarily relieved
as pitcher, back into the box. This
combination worked very well and
in the opinion of many was the COM
bination that the team should have
counted on throughout the season.
Even in it's strongest days, the SOU
team would have been much more
efficient had Turner been behind
the bat and Leonard on first. After
Turner went behind the bat in the
fifth inning, the score from that
time on was to 2 in favor of the
SOU.
Now that the baseball series is
over, the Sou will attempt to Or
ganize a football team, but there are
very few fans who are optimistic
enough to believe that they will be
as effective during the football sea-
son as they were during the baseball
season. The SOU did not have men

A Summation

A Summat ton
Private Turner was a good first
baseman all through the season, and
Sgt. Young at short stop was in
there doing good work most of the
time. Moore at third had good days
and bad ones. Luke at second played
almost faultless ball and batted well
until last Sunday. Culpepper bat
ted well, but was none too sure on
fly balls. Hinton in center field
batted poorly, but made some good
catches, also some very bad errors.
Leonard, hard worker and one sub
ject to injuries, was the best of the
catcher crop. Wright was much the
best outfielder, making sensational
catches that saved a number of po-
tential home runs. His hitting was
poor, however.
Moore played the season with his
legs bandaged, and according to his
coaches should not have attempted
to play ball at all. Jackson won sew
eral games as a pitcher, and did
pretty well in the outfieId, as well
as being a fair hitter.
Harper and Nix (catchers) were
useful substitutes.
Baseball went over big at Fort
Huachuca during the past season,
what with $50 games being played
by SOU and 92nd Division teams.
The Division (92nd) had 102 teams
and the Service Command fielded 6
teams.

to the games won by the division

SOU defeated the strong Cananea

MurieI Sieyert
Fine Golfer

Miss Muriel E. 'Sievert, head tech
nician at Station Hospital No. 2, has
probably won more acclaim, as well
as more medals and trophies in the
world of sports than any other wom-
an at Fort Huachuca, having ex-
celled in golf, swimming, and la
crosse.
She is the daughter of Colonel
Herman A. Sievert, Cavalry, former
Commanding Officer of this Post,
retired.
Miss Sievert held the Philippine
Island Championship from 1914 to
1916. She has played the Camp
Stotensbnry Golf Course near Man
lila scores of times. She was IA
years of age when she first won
this championship.
After swimming three miles in the
bay along with Miss Sievert in 1925,
Grin B. Wilson. well known long dis
tance swimmer of Venice, Calf, said
she was destined to be one of the
worlds greatest ocean swimmers. He
further said she had one of the best
back strokes he had ever seen.
In 1925 she was also star and as
sistant coach Of the All Star la
crosse team, when they defeated
Santa Monica for the national
championship title, and was given a
chance to compete in England.
Miss Sievert won the first annual
Southern California Public Links
Championship for women, being the
best player on the Ladies' Clover
Field Golf Club in April, 1884 Her
name appeared daily in the Western
newspapers for her excellent per-
formances. She received much COM
ment as well s a letter, making her
a member OF the famous Hole In
One" Club which was dated Febru-
ary 20, 1884, after she had made an
ace.
Miss Sievert has played golf on
practically all of Southern Californ-
las private and public courses. She
still has a great yen for golf, and
last week saw her playing over Fort
Huachuca'S new course.
