Men Enjoy Returns of Game at the Albion Hotel. The University of Pittsburg and Wash ington and Jefferson men who are in the service at Camp Hancock gathered at the Albion Hotel Saturday afternoon to hear the returns of the football game between the two schools. Much interest was manifested in the reading of the various plays. Cheering and the yelling for the schools and for the athletes resounded through the build ing. A banquet of both the schools was held in the hotel this evening. This was probably the first occasion where Pitt, and W. & J. men fraternized, especially on the day of the annual foot ball contest. Even during the announcement of the game, there was the most friendly feel ing but in rivalry. The W. & J,. men particularly cheered the work of “Scrub by” McCreigh, while the Pitt, men divid ed their honors with McClaren. Basterday and Cougler, though McClaren received by far the lion's share o fthe glory. When the first field goal for W. & J. was an nounced, there appeared to be gloom; con fidence was later restored. The scoring of two touchdown followed, and which finally gave Pitt, the victory made the Pitt men confident that the old Warner machine had struck its stride and that their favorites would make another series of memorable marches down the field. But those expectations were out rooted when the touchdown- for W. & J. was scored. As the plays were called through a megaphone, men of both sides would compete with each other in trying to anticipate the play. Both sides appear satisfied in the outcome, Pitt men that their team was able to register a win, and W. & J. men that their team was able to hold Pitt so closely.

BASE BALL SATURDAY AT WARREN PARK An echo of the world’s series will be heard at Warren Park Saturday af ternoon, when two of the fastest com pany terns in the Twenty-eighth Di vision will cross bats, to decide the supremacy between Philadelphia and Scranton players. Came called at 3 o'clock. Ever since the merger of the Scran ton boys with the Philadelphia con tingent, there has been fr iendly rivalry as to the merits of the football and baseball teams. Company B, of the old Thirteenth, is still Company B, but belongs to the One Hundred and Ninth now, and the fast team repre senting the old Thirteenth will battle for honors with Company M, of the One Hundred and Ninth. The Red Cross will benefit by the game. The One Hundred and Ninth boys will wear the old Philly uniforms. Company-M lost but one game out of eight on the border and is considered the best team in the One Hundred and Ninth. Three Philadelphia boxers art included in the line-up: Tommy My ers, who has issued a 128-pound chal lenge to the division, will play second base; Sheridan will play right field, and Blair will pitch. Blair is consid ered one of the speediest pitchers among the many amateurs of Phila delphia. SOLDI ERS~DEFEATY. M. C. A. No. 3 Hospital Corps basket ball team defeated the strong Augusta Y. M. C.

BRITISH TOMMIES TROGEIIITHINF. Visiting Non-Coms From the Trenches Show How to Flay Soccer. Although not having played the game for almost three years—not since they entered the trenches on the western front —an aggregation of British Tommies who are at Camp Hancock to give instruction in the art of handling death-dealing de vices against the Germans, gave a classy exhibition of soccer football on Saturday afternoon against the 111th Infantry team on the grounds near Y. M. C. A. Building No. 78. The score ended 7-0 in favor of the Tommies. There were exactly six Britishers from the trenches disporting themselves in the ■sands of Georgia and the hot afternoon sun made the work rather strenuous. The non-coms and orderlies aroused great in terest as they appeared on the scence, their heavy drab uniforms and round caps making the inconspicuous among the sol diers from Pennsylvania. Groups of Sammies soon gathered about the Tommies and before and after the game, some interesting information was imparted by the men—one of whom has been in the trenches for three years and three months, and who came through it without a scratch. Some of the men had received wounds from the Germans, but they played soccer as if nothing had ever happened to them. The Tommies formed part of the team from the old Third Infantry, now the 110th. Most of the players hailed from England and it was a contest of English men against Englishmen. The team from the 111th (the old Sixth) was a trifle more cosmopolitan than the 110th, the line-up including Americans, Englishmen, Italians and Irish. Two 35-niinute halves were played and by the time the game was ended, both sides had had enough. For the Tommies, Sergeant Kelly, Serg eant Pope, Sergeant Dyball, Okley and Horn displayed great cleverness. ‘Okley gave the finest exhibition of the after noon, his blocking, dribbling and passing being of unusually high order. It is expected the two teams will play again this afternoon. Following was the line-up: Tommies. Position. 111th. Goal Marville Jackson Right Back • Bope Panchella Left Back Bastable Townsend Right Half Pemberton Taylor Center Half Horn J. Lyons Left Half Robertson Buck Outside Left By ball McCoy Inside Left Mann e. Lyons Center Forward Lcgerton Donahue Inside Right Kelly Ford Outside Right Okley Farlev Goa’s—Horn, 2; Dyball, 2; Okley, Kelly, Lcgerton. 112TH FIGHTING FOR CHAMPIONSHIP CO. M DEFEATS CO. I. By defeating Co. I last Saturday after noon by the score of 13-6, Co. M won for itself the Third Battalion championship. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Welch, Co. M has developed into a fine football machine. Welch was a former University of Pennsylvania fullback, and knows the game through and through. He has a variety of plays which are good ground gainers. At the beginning of the game it looked like a walk-away for Co. M, but Co. I came back in the last half and scored a touchdown on a long forward pass. CO. F LOSES~TO CO. I. Sunday afternoon Co. E won from Co. F by the score of 9-0. Co. E has not lost a game this fall and incidentally, has cinched the Second Battalion champion ship. Line-up of the game: Co. F. Position. Co. E. Full Back Steel Mclntyre Left Half Fleming Merook Right Half Sullivan Kern Center Ewing Adams Left End Richie Nicholas Left Tackle Ricalton Frieband Left Guard Mayer Baroney Right End Adams Broderick Right Tackle Howser Kully Right Guard Shaffer Lewis Quarter Back Creswell Houses Merook played a heady game for Co. E, throughout the entire game, and has been chosen to represent Co. E as a candidate for the Division football team. FIELD DAY’TODAY.
