Thirteen of the 19 man squad

Sport SlhOls-hary Willow

At a recent meeting of well-known
local sportsmen a question came up
as 70 which game was the most
thrilling to watch, the toughest and
the game that called for most en-
durance.
The argument rose and fell for
various sports. There were the boys
who claimed football was the game
with the forward pass-the long run,
the line plunge and the stiff tackle.
Then the hockey enthusiasts got
into it. They claimed the speed and
body checking made football look
like a dime and for being rough
hockey was tops in any sport. In
hockey. the boys claimed, there was
never a dull minute from the time
the whistle sounded until the final
bell.
Bicycle racing fans put in their
vote and claimed that in six-day
races there was nothing tougher
two men going off and on when a
sprint was called the. man who
was resting had to get In the race.
When some one fell he was sure to
get floor burns and splinters that
made the other games look mild.
Then We had the gents who go for
their horse racing and wanted to
know what about the jockey - the
training programs he had to go
through and the chance he took in
a race.
The arguments flew thick and
fast about here and the boxing boys
spoke their piece and then those
who go for wrestling got in but one
Of the fellows asked us If any had
seen the game called FL Patio.
Well he went on to explain the game
and this it it.
The game is so dangerous where
it is played down in Argentine that
it has been outlawed by the auth
critics but Of course they play it on
he side anyway. Players mounted on
horses battle for a leather device
about the size of a volleyball and
having six handles The game must
be played in open country and the
course is usually five or six miles
longlong. The winner Is the one who
first reaches the finish point.
The referee starts the game and
after that the only thing he does
is to follow play and help take care
of the injured, sounds good so far).
The captains. Of the teams battle
for the ball after the referee starts
the game and there are no rules,
anything goes. Rival players may
tackles a rider who has possession
of the ball and knock him from his
horse-he may flay him across the
pusS with short riding whip which
has loaded handle, or he may use
the bolo which consists of two
weighted balls on the ends of the
rope-this he uses to trip the horse
or to partially paralyze the rider.
There are a few more juicy things
these guys do but The above are the
tops.
SO after the description of the
game and check up 20 see if there
was such sport (Which there Isl
We all called it the tops. What are
your thoughts, do you know any
that Is worse than this sport.

This hockey rink business
changes its course like a good wind.
First it was going to be out at
Pulaski park and now down at
Bishop park. The last place men,
toned is by far the most perfect
or all.
The new rink will be placed on
the tennis courts and ledge will
be built around the courts so there
will be a bank to hold water for
freezing. This will make a perma-
nent spot and will be tops. On this
rink nothing but hockey will be
allowed.
Pulaski Park courts will be fixed
the same way and there they will
have skating. This set up will make
1t possible to have one more place
TO skate and take hockey off all
the Kinks and will make these Kinks
safe for everyone. Sharples Chem
icals are going to make the goals
for the hockey rink for the Recre-
alton Department for free and that
Is darn nice. There was quite a
battle about putting the ledge
around the courts - some one
wanted to have only dirt which
would have been very unsatisfactory
but some of the councilnen who
believe that recreation is possibly
going 70 stay in the new manner
and not go back to the horse and
buggy days insisted on a cement
ledge.
The Recreation Commission has
announced that the Glass A bas-
ketball league this year will have
six teams entered. They are Allen
Park, Lincoln Park, Flat Rock, Wy
andotte Cab, Coca-Cola and Oak
Cafe. The Class B league is for
Wyandotte teams only and has a
nice start with several teams get
| ting set.
From the Recreation Department
comes IN appeal for teams for the
hockey league now being formed.
They want teams to enter in the
senior, junior and midget leagues.
81 the high schools get a nice
break If they are interested and
the smaller kids will do pretty good
also. If there are any teams inter-
ested get in touch with Benny
Yack at Wy. 1905.

Bowling league - the FOE. team
has taken first place from Charlie
kiefer'S gang by one game - this
race Is lot. In the team high three
games GaSs and Gee still have the
edge with nice 1856 total. The in
d;vidual high three is held by H.
King with 627 and the high game
score goes to A. Empel with a 267.
Superior Lunch holds the team
high game with $50.
Tonight's hockey at Olympia be-

9TH ARMY GROUP, FRANCE
Indicative of the skilled medical aid
administered Americans engaged in
battle along the Western Front is
the record of the veteran 59th Eva
cuation Hospital, a member of which
is Pfc. Roth A. Castle, Jr.,. whose
home address is 80 East Salisbury
street, Williamsport. The mortality
rate at the hospital for a four-month
period following the invasion Of
Southern France was less than 7/10
of one percent.
Supporting U. S. Seventh Army
troops in 1t. Gen. Jacob L. Devers'
9th Army Group, this 750-bed hos
pital came into Southern France ten
days after assault troops waded
ashore. During four months of
keeping pace with fast-moving COM
bat units, the 59th treated 1898 pa
tients to boost its two-year total to
over $500 patients. Surgical stats
operated on $500 patients in France.
Once they completed 10 operations
in "a hours.
"This hospitals function is to
make battle casualty and disease
cases physically fit for return to
duty or for evacuation to the larger
general and station hospitals in the
rear" explained Colonel Oral B.
,Bolibaugh of San Francisco, Calf,
hospital commander. 'It is here that
most cases receive first definitive
surgery or first defnitive medical
diagnosis"
The seth was activated on April
s, 1912, as an affiliate of the San
Francisco (Calif.) City and County
Hospital, and saw first combat opera
ton on Dec. 81, 1912, at Casablanca,
French Morocco. 1t operated as both
an evacuation and general hospital
in Sicily before going to Italy, where
it evacuated Americans wounded in
the breakthrough from the Anzio
beachhead north through Rome.
Paying tribute to his officer, nurse
and enlisted personnel, Col. Boil
baugh said they had maintained a
high standard of medical treatment
even during rush periods when facil-
tiles were overworked.

WASHINGTON - The is.
Maritime Commission now has
several pretty fancy passenger
liners under construction and
plans to start many more soon.
Built on order for American
steamship lines, they will be us
ed by the government to bring
troops back, and will be turned
over to the lines when that job
is done.
American steamship compa-
MES are worried about the flu
ture. They want to get in on
ns-oceanic passenger trade as
soon as possible. That's why
the Maritime Commission is
helping.
In addition to the competition
from subsidized British, Dutch
and French lines, a new compel
itor which threatens their exist
ence has entered the field. That
is the airlines. On the run TO
Hawaii alone, it is estimated
that so per cent of the passenger
