Owens, Athletic Officer of R. R. D. Co. Baseball is now booming in the R. R. D. Co. Eight teams have been organ ized in the 32 companies each team will be selected from every four companies and a regular schedule is now formed, ar ranging games every night for each team with a jHjnnant for the winning team, the schedule to run one month. Lieut. Owcii| is having several base ball fields cleared up and will be ready when the schedule opens Wednesday night. Most of the companies have al ready organized individual teams and have been playing several weeks and many college ar.d professional stars have been -found among the recruits so the brand of bail will be of a hi/fh order. Baseball from the sth R. R. D. it is customary for the defeated team to say 'Our boys were not in shape,” but we will not make that excuse for the de- I feat we received from the 23rd Company. I But our boys promised lie Her things and made good when they defeated the fast ! 3th Company Saturday afternoon, i We lost Sunday afternoon to the fast team from the Oth Company in a close and exciting game, the score being 6 to 5 against us! Other teams the sth has met are as fol lows : The 24th, which we beat TO to 3. The Bth, which we also won. 15) to 5. The sth has some verf good material and we expect to have a go; d representation on the team which will he picked from the 56th, Oth. 7th, and Bth Companies in thoi new league. Sport Notes from the 22nd Co., R. R. D. Th»: 22nd Company broke into the ath letic limelight last Monday evening by playing its neighbor, the famed 23rd Com pany. The line-up of the 22nd consist ing of high school, college and big lea gue men and made a fine showing con sidering they had never placed together ebefore. Lurch of the New York White t>ox, hit Homewood for three bases and jit took the best they had to beat us as I Ullss had to relieve Homewood. With a little more practice the 22nd will have a winning team. On Saturday afternoon the fith Co., R. R. D., baseball team battle to a 7-inning tie game with the strong I.6th team. Good i plays and heavy hitting abounded on | both sides and at times the many spec tators were thrilled with the fast work of [both teams. For the 16th Turner pitch led a good game but poor support al crticle times lost an opportunity to win the game. For the 6th, Atkins pitched a good game but both »earns showed lack of form at times during the game. IT’S YOUR MOVE Under the direction of Private Ernest Leacock, a checker tournament is being formed at ”Y” Hut 75. Mr. Leacock is quite an expert player himself, and wants to form a live tournament. Any person ! wishing to either join, or take on Lea cork for a series of games, please com municate with him care of Y. M. C. A. 75, TRENCH AND CAMP Promoter Jacobs Developing Boxing Team at Camp Hancock Promoter Joe Jacobs, who has for the past ten weeks been conducting the most successful kind of boxing shows at the K. of C. and Headquarters’ arena, has a novel idea, which he intends to put into effect very shortly That is to pick out the winners of the past tournaments and make up a boxing team consisting of the best boxers in camp. The boxing material now at Camp Hancock, is without a word of doubt about the best throughout the South, and when stacked against another camp's team will more thart uphold their own. Captain Hammond and Lieut. Murphy In Heavyweight Clasb The heavyweight class will be well rep resented by Captain Hammond, the for mer heavyweight champion of the United States army, and Lieutenant Murphy, [Camp Hancock’s wonderful referee, who was formerly the amateur heavyweight champion of New York state. Middleweight Class. The best boxers in the middleweight class are Joe Ferro, the nigged Californ ian battler; Jack Hoffman, 2nd Group’s strong contender and Sergeant Jim Wcl by. the Fighting Harp of the 64th Com pany. Welterweight Division. In the welterweight class, come those two wonderful battlers. Jack Williams, the welterweight champion of Camp Hancock, who has never been defeated and Buddy Ryan, the star New York 145- pounder, who has met the best in the country in this class. The Lightweight Contcnderi. The lightweight class is the proud possessor of one of the foremost 133- pounders in the world, namely Frankie Russell, the lightweight champion of the South. It must be admitted that Rus sell is in a class by himself at the pres ent time in this part of the country, and it will be necessary for Promoter Jacobs to secure the best lightweights available j jlrom other camps to come here and stand' [up with the Southern Champ. Russell’s nearest rival in camp at the present time is Bobby Greer, the Oklahoma Bearcat, who has performed on numerous occa sions satisfactorily. Featherweight Class Has Several Stars For keen competition. the feather (•weight class has the distinction of pos sessing such sterling performers as 8 am jmy Waltz, the champion 122-pounder of the East; Phil Virgits, the fe ltherweight king of the South, who bails from Now [Orleans; Joe Nelson, the sensational New' | Orleans battler, who has fought several 1 20-round battles, and Kid Beebee, the hard-hitting and aggressive Detroit flash of the Ordnance department. Good Material In Bantam Class. The contenders for .the bantam crown of Camp Hancock, consist of three of the most scientific little boxers in this I part of the country. They are Frankie j Marone, one of New York's foremost ban i tarns, who has held his own with some of (the best little men around, Kid Murphy, one of the cleverest ever seen in action at Camp Hancock, Sanford White, the former amateur bantamweight champion of New York state and Joimny Knappi, the 2nd Group’s little contender, who throws science to the winds, and simply relies upon his slugging ability. K. of C. and Headquarters Arenas Scenes of Many Good Fir.tic Encounters. • Credit is more than duo Mr. John Don ohue. the general secretary of the K. of f. War Activities at Camp Hancock, and Captain S. G. Blanton for their co-opera tion is allowing Promoter Jacobs the use of their spacious areas, in order to stage the several big tournaments during the past ten weeks, which has brought be fore the men of this camp all of the above named star fistk? performers. The captain has gone so far as to even erect a brand new regulation boxing ring on the Head quarters Company’s ground, while Mr. Donohue has secured everything at the K. of C. building which goes to make the tournaments h<*l#l there such big suc cesses. 35 th Company Cadre Shuts-Out 27th Co.

Quick, 1 catching for the 35th, hit a home run with two men on. The feature of the game was pulled In the last inning when, with a man on third and first and two out, Meehan of the 35th, picked up a fast grounder and made a wonderful throw from the out field to home, which killed the only chance the 27th *had to furore. The line up was as follows: 27th Company— Whittle, hs. Gallagher, c. Kenny, 2b Sawyer, p. O’Lien ry, of. Rathburn, ID. Herkel, rs. Lorrny, If. Aekerson, 3b. 35th Company— Sribilia, cf. Quick, c.

When a man was found to be stalling he was put out. of the ring. John Nelson was the winner, j the prize being a 24-hour pass with J spending money. The "shines" mixed it up at the start, and two of them clinched and battling hard, went over the ropes to gether. The crowd yelled to permit one of them to return. Lieut. Murphy said there were no set rules for a bat tle royal, and that he would take a vote. The spectators were unanimous for the return of the negro, and back he went. But ho waft able to remain back In the ring only a short lime, as all of the other lighters went at him with a massed attack. He fought hard to de fend himself, but in jiffy was hurled outside the ropes.

You can’t see ’em 'cause they’re camouf..ged." “I’m mighty glad they’ve got. one general now for the allied armies. Let’s see, what's that his name is?” “General Issimo.
