A great athletic program, with every company in the 112th regiment having some part in it, featured Liberty Loan Lay on Wednesday. With the pass privilege curtailed from midnight on Tuesday until 8 o’clock Thursday morning, every soldier was obliged to remain within camp limits. So, during the morning hours, as well as in the afternoon and evening, the Liberty Loan campaign for subscrip tions went on, and the bays gave lib erally. The presence of every man in camp made canvassinb comparatively easy, but it was more difficult in the afternoon as hundreds of the boys in khaki flocked out upon the drill field to see the football game between the Headquarters and Machine Gun teams and the splendid baseball game be tween Erie and Kane. Ball Game Is a Dandy. The teams lined up a& follows: Company G Kelly, leftfield. Dinley, rightfield. Donosky, second base. Vogel, shortstop. Diver, third base. Bretz, first base. Ench, Centerfield. Russell, catch. Hart, pitch. Company E Baumparty, center field. Bergren, shortstop. Merook, third base. Brown, second base. McEnteer, catch. Reese, leftfield. Litwick, first base. Letman, rightfield. Costello, pitch. The lone run was scored in the sev enth inning by McEnteer, a fumble by Ench proving costly when Litwick banged the ball to center field. Other Athletic Exhibits. The football game, full of plenty of excitement, and one of the hardest fought the boys have been treated to since the season opened, ndd 0 to 0.

GAME IN THE AIR Tn granting the Army permission to re sume the gridiron sport this fall, Secre tary of War Baker was careful to em phasize the fact that this did not carry with it the usual game with the Navy. In the order granting the Middies per mission to play this fall nothing was said of the annual game with West Point. It can be stated on the highest authority, however, that strong official influence has and is being brought to bear upon Mr. Baker to allow the soldiers to meet the sailors in New York City on November 24, the date originally set for the contest. Up to the present time Secretary Baker has refused to recede from his stand when issuing his order for the Cadets to resume the game this fall. The strongest argu ment used in the attempt to influence Mr. Baker to rescind his order against a game with the Navy is that this year’s game should be played for army and navy charity exclusively, that the usual free admission to West Point and Anpapolis students and their friends be denied, and that every person who enters the Polo Gorunds be required to pay $2.50 or $3 for a seat. This is a powerful argument at this particular time, when such a game under such conditions would easily net anywhere from SBO,OOO to SIOO,- 000. all depending upon the price per seat and the extra seating capacity that could be provided. FIELD BAKER GYMNASTICS. An instructor comes down from the Y. M. C. A. each morning and proceeds to send the bodys of the boys into strange snake-like postures. Os all our apt pu pils the brown derby was awarded to “Pop” Hillman who we can truthfully say deserve credit for inventing new exer cises while performing the old and doing both at the same time, needless to say he is a star at our new game. “Wallop ball.” In wallop the "all” is silent like the razor in shave. Dippy Column. We are proud to announce the safe re turn of Private Kurtz from Field Hospital No. 109. Who said “they never come back.” We have lots of dough still we need (knead) it. Here’s hoping Private Carr’s eyebrow will cut its visit to the lip short and re turn here it belongs. Our official baker—Bones. Our official machinist—Fusser. Our official hard guy—Cambulance. Our official comedian—Slim. Private Garner received a letter. After studying the contents of the letter for about three hours he ejaculated “Gee. its from my girl.” Last Wednesday afternoon a very pret ty military wedding was solemnized in the mess hall of the Eighth Regiment, when Miss Margaret Kellam Leary, of Ridgway, Pa., became the wife of Capt. John A. Smith Logan, a reserve officer attached to Company B of the Eighth In fantry. The ceremony was performed by Cap tain Harry N. Bassler, chaplain of the Eighth, while the bride was gjven away by her father, Captain S. A. Leary of the 112th Infantry. The colonel and many officers of the Eighth and 112th Infantry were in attendance. Early possibilities of service in France hastened the wedding. Y. M. C. A.

Each of the men attached to the Y. M. C. A. buildings put in practically the entire day in assisting the athletic officers in direct ing the activities. Recreational games in the One Hun dred and Ninth Infantry are now in full swing. Lieutenant Harry Fryck berg of Company A, is one of Phila delphia’s prominent athletes. He re alizes the value of competitive ath letics in the training of’fighting men. With the co-operation of George K, Tyson, the Y. M. C. A. physical in structor of building No. 79, a few sim ple games with the medicine ball were introduced. These games soon attract ed the attention of Major Meehan, commander of the first battalion of the One Hundred and Ninth. For a num ber of years the major has been in terested irt promoting clean amateur athletics in Philadelphia and the vi cinity. He is a prominent member of the Middle Athletic Union and the Mil itary Athletic League. Major Meehan was quick to realize the value of these games in welding the men into strong sturdy units, full of team work and lacking in petty jealousy. The inter est in this work has spread rapidly and the Y. M. C. A. physical instructor is a much sought after man. Realizing the value of athletics for the men, the officers of the One-Hun dred and Ninth are trying it for them selves. A visitor who passes through the regiment just before the mess hout will hear loud shouts and outbursts of laughter near the officers’ mess. An investigation will reveal a scene of of ficers busily engaged in the game of volley ball? Captains and a colonel, as well as lieutenants try their hand. One of the "regular fans,” is “Jim Nasium,” the newspaper correspondent. If the cartoonist of a rival newspaper could see this ardent gentleman in his bursts of enthusiastic endeavor, the result ing cartoons might be of exceeding in terest to the dear old “General Public.” Interest in this game has spread to the men. A court has been arranged in the company street of the Sanitary Detachment and this is used frequent ly. On Thursday evening, October 25, the first series of boxing matches was held. A wealth oi. excellent material was unearthed. Every one of the ten bouts was filled witn action from the word “G 0 to the announcement of “Time.” Chick Heyers of Company L, who is a well known fighter, acted as referee, while Davis of the Machine Gun Company was Timekeeper. The popularity of these bouts was demon strated by the presence of nearly every man in the regiment and their vig orous applause. In the 100 pound class, Jordan of Company A, was winner over Conlin of Company E. Reed of Company’ A, won from Corporal Heyne of Company E. Stead of Company K, defeated O’Donnell of Company A. Carberry of Company A, outpointed Barrow of Company L, won from Brady of Com pany B, 130-35. Dougherty, Company K, won from Griffith, Company B, by the knockout route. Wells, Company G, outpointed Breen, Company E. The star bout of the evening occurred to the class when Feeney, A Company, de feated Sturgis, H Company. Feeney is to meet Cravath of B Company next Thursday evening. The most exciting bouts were those between Flannery, Company A, and O'Brien, Company L, and Meyers, Com pany M, and Bowers, Vompany A. Both bouts ended in a draw arrf tne crowd clamored for an extra round. On sev eral occasions the men were knocked through the ropes. The bouts consisted of two rounds of two minutes each, with an intermis sion of one minute. The honors were carried off by A Company, with four winners and two draws. Another series of bouts will occur on Thursday, November Ist. Oct. 31, 1917. The One Hundred and Tenth Regi mental football team went to Atlanta Friday night to play the Camp Gordon divisional team. This team was com posed of college men, mostly officers, in the conscripted army. Naturally we lost 26-0. For the first three-quarters of tha game, however, the One Hundred and Tenth Regimental team put up as game a fight against odds, as has been seen for some time. During the last half of the game fresh men were con stantly being put in, which in the last quarter proved the finishing toucn — three touchdowns being scored against us in this quarter. Wickerham and Lee were the stars of the game. Lee’s kuicks averaging 50 yards. No con sistent gains could be made around the ends, practically all gains by Gordon being made through the line. It was an ideal day, although a little warm for football. Ninety men from the One Hundred and Tenth composed the cheering section for our team. Their enthusiasm should have won the game. The following made the trip: Major and Mrs. Thompson. Major and Mrs. Anderson. Colonel Crockston. Captain and Mrs. Aiken. Captain Doan. Walter Camp, Jr. E. G. Kalbfleish. George R. Fleming and Wickerham Whitehill, Long, McCooley, Lee, Scho les, Alpern, Brown, Murray, Farrell, Truxal, Weber, McManus, Albright, Garrett, Sincock, Coulter and Flanni gan, the players. Referee W. Camp, Jr. Umpire, Anderson, of University of Georgia. Time of quarters, 10 minutes. A return game to be played in Au gusta against a picked team of our di vision will give football enthusiasts a chance to see a battle royal. THE ‘PHUNPHIENDS 7 AT FIELD HOSPITAL NO. 111 The boys of Field Hospital No. 11l were treated to a vaudeville surprise on Wednesday afternoon by the "Phund Fiends,” one of Loew’s classy vaudeville acts that was filling an engagement in Augusta. Just as the boys were busy eating their noon mess several blasts from an auto horn announced tke arrival of six, pretty, smiling girls under the personal escort of Sergeant Morris Bopp and Cook Sam Jones. The boys greeted the girls with three lusty cheers and the girls in re sponse gave them a song and dance ex hibition which brought forth applause that shook the mess hall. A camp cook ed dinner served in true army style was served to the girls.
