CAMP POSTPONED
BASKET BALL COURT BEING LAID
OUT IN EKONT OE Y. M. C. A.
BUILDING, AND PREPARATIONS
UNDERWAY TO FURNISH EXCEL
LENT SPORT FOR VISITORS.
The regular scheduled games of the
Y. M. C. A. League at Souther Field
this week were postponed on account
of “too much fatigue” until Saturday
afternoon. During the last few
months of very- extensive construc
tion work at the camp the woodpile
had grown from a mole hole into a
mountain, large enough in fact to
conceal the proverbial “nigger in the
woodpile*” if the occasion ’should
arise, and so it was decided tone
move the woodpile. A detail of twen
ty-five or more men from each bar
racks was put on this job and some
general cleaning-up. Appreciating
the fact that many of the baseball
men have shown great unfamiliarity in
handling the wood in some recent,
they were not excused from hand
ling the wood, so no baseball ’till
Saturday.
One detail of men. under Lt. D. V.
O'Flaherty, put In some nice work
in laying out a basket ball court just
in front of the Y. M. C. A. building.
A few white posts and a rail for
guard against tresspasses along one
side of the court present the very
pleasing appearance of a fair grounds
No sooner was it finished than about
, two dozen of the enlisted men .had-to
, try it out to see just how it felt on
the new- court.
Things are fast rounding into shape
for the “Twilight League” among
the different squadrons for basket ball
and volley ball, two of the most popu
lar games among the soldier camps
in this country.
At night on the open air platform
the usual informal boxing bouts were
held. Ray I-antz of the 236th and
Gyp Dolpnih of the sth, started the
fun. These men are. much alike in
being red-headed, and the “mixing"
was fast and furious for two rounds,
at the close of which the referee held
up Gyp Dolphin’s glove thereby desig
nating the winner. In addition to
both being red-headed, these men are
both married and have been present
' ed with heirs by their wives. The
heirs will doubtless stage a bout in
the Loy Scout division in the near
future. We Can’t tell at this writ
ing whether both will be red-headed,
as they are bald-headed • now.
Hogan and Coosuth, just for the
fun of the thing, pulled off a blind
fold bout which amused the crowd
very much. The referee aiding the
“mixing” by putting in a few light
taps to confuse the boxers as to each
other’s whereabouts.
•‘Red” McMillan and Otey, both
from the fifth, furnished a live bout
of two rounds. Otey was the heavier
of the two, -Red” showed up in speed
and dodging ability what he lacked in
weight. They showed their brotherly
affection by frequent clutches.
Next on the list was Willard, a dis
tant relative of the famous champion
of that name, and Young Parker.
These boys came over from the Arles
Plantation. They- showed great prom
ise of making future fighters for Un-
► cle Sam.
• The last bout between Ivals, from,
California, and Cline, from lowa,’•both
of the 236. was a good exhibition so
the boxing pastime. Each fighter se-|
cured one fall from the other. The
i
decision was given in favor of the:
gentleman from California.
Chas. Korsuth from 116th squadron
acted as referee and H. S Lipscomb
of the Y. M. C. A., was timekeeper.
