Fast Boxing
Last Monday night at "Y" 78 some
good boxing was pulled off by Jack
Hoffman of New York, and Bob Gree
of New York. Jack had Bob out
weighed and seemed to be the better
of the two.
Next dime Napoleon Bluitt of Chi
cago, and Mayo Williams of Provi
dence, R. I. In this match Mayo had
the stronger punch.
The third round was between Mat
thews of Pennsylvania, and Gcasheart
of New Jersey. They were evenly
matched and resuted in a draw.
The fourth bout was between Golo
fob of New York, and Little Poppy
Slappie of New York. Believe me, this
was some little scrap.
The fifth round was pulled off by
Thomas Fenali of New York, and
Young Dally of New York.
Last came John Looy of New York,
and All Felony of New York in a fast
round.
OFFICIAL ARMY
BOXING RULES FOR
CAMPS ANNOUNCED
Washington, D. C„ —Official Army Box
ing Rules to govern boxing contests
among !he million and a half men in
training were isseud today by War De
partment Commission on Training Camp
Activities The new code differs^radi
cally from the codes commonly in use for
the last ten or fifteen years and assem
bles more particularly the Marquis of
Queensberry rules which laid stress on
fas;, clever fighting Greater credit is
given to the boxer who is aggressive in
spite of punishment than to the one who
covers up ur clinches.
“A million and a half men of the army
are being taught to bax” says Dr.
Joseph E. Raycroft, head of the Athletic
Division of the Commission, in a state
ment accompanying the new rules, •be
cause it develops in them those quali
ties of alertness and pugnacity which
make them better bayonet fighters. S’
cess in bayonet fighting depends upon
aggres*. ve determination and attack even
more tl»\n upon technical skill. Boxing
develops this aggressiveness in offense
A fierce-attacking forward action trkyo
net charge means a 98 per cent quota of
fighting men return to safety. That is
<-ne important reason why the new box
ing rules set a high premium upon of
‘‘ e rather than on defensive fight
ing.'’
. U back s’epping. covering up and
purely defensive w rk are discouraged
under the Army Boxing Rules and each
contestant is made subject to a penalty
for such work. This latter recommenda
« <1 > . • q. ua’ fm e from the ac
cepted standard of ring strategy which
puts a premium on purely defensive
tactics.
Under the new rules a total of six
blows constitutes the ground plan of the
boxing program. Tin- maintenance of
such a series of blows must be taken
into consideration m the final judgment
of points. “The value of attacks cannot
be overestimated, and should be consid
ered a nrime factor in the alloting of
points,” it is stipulated .
The new rules which were formulated
upon consultaion with the Commission
boxing instructors in the various camps
lav particular emphasis upon points
which are valuable in the furthermost
’raining of the men who are going to
be bayonet fighters.
Under th? armv 'rules the referee is
shown oi- much, power. Many of his
active functions have beer delegated to
I two judges. each of whom is assisted

ATHLETICS and RECREATIO
TENTH STRAIGHT GAME
FOR HEADQUARTERS
Victorious Players Want Games
From Other Teams. Are Seek
ing Scalps From Semi-Pros.
EVen though the weather does not
strike most of these soldiers ven’ fa
vorably, they forget about the Southern
heat when on the ball diamond. The
fans. too. come out in great numbers and
disregard the sun’s rays.
Upon June 18th the Divisional Head
quarters defeated the Seventh Company
m a fast game of ball, making it the
tenth straight tor the winners. The
losers gave the victorious nine a real bat
tle until the seventh Inning, when the
old baseball veteran, Rabat, who already
made four home runs in previou sgames,
scored another homer which gave the
champions of Camp Hancock the lead.
Clay held them there until the finish by
giving only three hits during th.. entire
game. Two hits in the first, and a walk,
gave the Seventh Braves two score#. af
ter which they could not find Clay, with
the exception of Festzer making the third
hit in the eighth inning. Clay's wonder
ful pitching caused thirteen strike-outs.
The Divisional Headquarters have sign
ed up Top Sergeant Adams, who, at one
time, was one of the crack players of the
Ninety-first Division. After being out of
baseball for three years, he comes to
Camp Hancock with just as much vim
as ever. He surprised the boys by com
ing up with two good hits and playing
fast ball at secor 1 base, assisting Hack
in two double-plays. Sergeant Adams
expects tn display a groat deal more ef
ficiency in balldom after several more
games, when, as in former years, he be
comes mores accustomed to the ball and
bat.

TRENCH AND CAMP
Fourth Swimming Lesson
BY W. R. BURDICK.
The different swimming strokes when
learned seem very simple and look so
when a good swimmer uses them. But
to give a beginner lessons In good
stroke form would be useless, so in this,
the fourth lesson, we simply get him to
using his arms. Follow this method as
given here and it will not be difficult to
add the arm stroke to the leg kick as
g.ven in Lesson No. Three.
First review the previous steps as in
other lessons, ducking, bobbing, plung
ing. plunging with the foot kick, going
over each one several tims. To learn
to combine th* 4 arm movement start from
a plunge, gliding through.the water us
ing the foot kick, then begin to paddle
with the hands in front of the body. This
motion resembles pulling yourself for
ward on a rope except that tho hands
hre opened, fingers' out straight ahead
and palms down. Here is a very import
ant point in position, the hands should
always b? opened out flat in all strokes,
to resemble duck’s foot which gives a
larger propelling surface. In practlc
ing this stroke extend the arms out in
WAR OR FOOTBALL, BASTON IS
FOUND IN THICK OF THE FIGHT
By Paul Purman.
A war dispatch the other day brought
back to me a scene at Northrup Field,
the great athletic stadium of the Uni
versity nf Minnesota.
The scene is set in the fall of 191 G
and lined up against each other are the
powerful football teams representing
Minnesota and Wis* >nsm.
The referee’s w! le shrills, the Wis
consin line moves ward as the ball is
kicked far into territory.
The oval is captured and the interfer
ence move in on the man with the ball.
Wisconsin tacklers are bowled this way
and that and suddenly there breaks from
the interference a tali, dark, slender
youth who springs tpward the distant
Wisconsin goal.
One by one the Wisconsin men are
passed. The defensive fullback alone re
mains between the fleet-footed runner
and the goal. He tackles low, but the
Minnesota youth has dodged cleverly and
is away with a clear field.
The stand*; are in an uproar as ho
glides over the line with tho ball.
The youth was Albert Baston, per-
made a slight gain, being fifth instead of
sixth. .The standing of the two leagues
on June 15. 1917 was as follows:

Unusual feats in baseball this season
pass unnoticed, to a great extent owing
to the conditions resulting from the par
ticipation of the United States in the
world war An illustration Is found In
the fa<ft that the winning of the first
twenty games of its schedule by the
Bridgeport Club, of tho Eastern League,
elicited little attention outside of the
minor league circuit.
While this feat . doo?; not equal some
of the continuous winning streJiks, of
former major and minor k<agu< teams
it does constitute a world’s record so
far as Is shown by baseball statistics. It
is the longest string of victories ever
collect cl. beginning with the first game
of tho season and the run has given the
Bridgeport club an impressive lead In
its own organization.
Twentj games straight, however, fall
short of the beat record in either major
or minor n'ay when this restriction is re
moved. The big maximum is held by
the New York Nationals of 1916 for that
team captured twenty-six games in a
row. Tho Providence Nationals in 1884
Americansof etaoin etaoln etaoin etaoln
are second with twenty and the Chicago
Amerfcins of 1906 third with nineteen.
In 1902 the Corsicana Club of the Texas
League won twenty-seven games in a
row and the same year Chnn'otte. of the
Carolina League won twenty-five. Jer
sey (’ity ran through twenty-four games
without defeat.' while a member of the
Eastern League In 1903. and Wilkes-Bar
re, of the*New York State League cap
tured twenty-three in 1912.
At about .‘he same time this year that
Bridgeport was winding up its winning
streak "Cactus” Cravdh, of the Phil
aflelphia Nationals drove out his bun*
dredth home run since entering uuon a
big league career. Beginning with one
home ruh In 1908 Cravath continued tn
pile up tho circuit hits until the century
mark was reached two months after the
present season began. This record gives
Cravath an average of about eleven lu>m
ors per season to-date. His re-ord of
twenty-four home run during the sea
son of 1915 is the standard in this res
pect fnr the modern game.

Complete the stroke by drawing the
hands out of the water at the hips. Both

years a member of Walter Camp's all-
Arierican team, in years wl/'n many
great ends roved over the gridirons of
East and West, three years an all-West
ern selection, once captain of his team,
Baston was one of the really remarkable
figures in Minnesota University athlet
ics.
The dispatch referred to is that Bas
ton has been wounded with tho marines
in France.
It is not at al) strange that Baston
should have picked the marine corps as
the field in which to do his bit. He r»
was the type of American athlete who
wants to be in the thick of things, and
knew that tho marines would put him
where ho would not be disappointed.

record that Baston should hav/Y, ?n
