FIFTY-SIXTH
COMPANY WINS
By A. D. Dalrymple.
Coming from behind in the seventh
inning with a slashing, irresistable at
tack. knocking the opposing pitcher’s of
ferings to all corners of the diamond,
and purloining bases almost at will, the
baseball team of the Twenty-sixth Com
pany of the Officers’ Training School,
began a bombardment that continued
throughout the game and culminated in
the defeat of the team of the First Com
pany of the Training School to the tune
of 6 to 5 in a game played on the “Y” 78
diamond last Sunday afternoon.
For six innings the Twenty-sixth team
had gone to the attack only to be turned
back by the snappy defense of the op
posing fielders and the air-tight hurling
of Pitcher Timm. Rut in the seventh,
that old inning which has seen so many
thrilling rallies, the team of the Twenty
sixth was not to be denied and when the
dust had cleared away three runs had
crossed the plate and the score was a
tie. In the eighth inning th? attack was
continued and two more runs were scored.
The old game was put on ice In the ninth
when the winning run camo across the
plate.
The First Company began the attack
in the second inning when the Twenty
sixth fielders temporarily aviated and
three runs were allowed to cross the
plate. In th*? next inning they settled
down and the First was unable to ne
gotiate run for the next six innings.
In the ninth inning, Kbwever. the First
made a game but futile attack which
netted them two runs, leaving them one
short of tying the game.
For the winners. Winter pitched a
strong game, allowing only four hits,
striking out six men apd giving only two
bases on balls. He had the game well
in hand at all times, the runs scored
against him being due mostly to costly
errors. Hart, that old Texas Longhorn,
caught a strong game behind the bat.
getting everything which came his way.
and shooting the ball to the bases with
the lightening like rapidity, which char
acterize.** all his games.
Hankins rapped out a long three-bag
ger, which would have been a home run
on a hard diamond, and Bradley con
nected up for a two-bose hit Elliott
played a strong game at first, and started
the double play that shut off the First’s
rally in the ninth Inning and saved the
game. Dziedzic was the other partici
pant In the double play. Brown at third
played a good game, as did Deitz. Bradley
and Little in the outfield.
Fir the First Company Timm pitched
an excellent game for six innings, but
weakened in the seventh. when his
fielders went up in the air. McCullem
was the consistant baiter, getting three
hits out of five times up. and starred in
the field, getting four put outs and six
assists at third without an error. Hardi
son played a good second base, and Norris
covered first after the manner of Hal
Chase.
.This is the first game which the newly
organized Twenty-sixth team has played
and as it does in everything else in the
Officers' Training School, it won out in
this. The Twenty-sixth claims that it has
the best team In the O. T. S., and it is
willing to show the other companies
which do not admit the claim.

and 267 points respectively.
Ferguson, of the Thirteenth, was again
the first man to break, Hotting such a
swift pace that he finished well in front
of his nearest contenders and won the
rave under wraps. The next ten men

out in sprints for second and third
places. In the first ten the Fifth Com
pany placed five.

TRENCH AND CAMP
Fistic News and Gossip
By JOE JACOBS
What promises to be one of the most
bitterly contested bouts between light
weights in Chis part of the country, will
be the scran between Frankie Russell,
the lightweight champion of Camp
Hancock, and Georgie Cohan, the light
weight champion of Camp Gordon, At
lanta, Ga., which will be fought at
Warren ParlCon Igibor Day at the big
boxing carnival. Russell recently
knocked out Joe Mandot, while Cohan
administered a severe beating to Butch
O'Hagan, just before coming South.
The winner of this bout is to be
matched with Benny Leonard, the
lightweight champion of the world, in
the near future, the bout to take place
also at Warren Park.
Jack Williams, the welterweight
champion of Camp Hancock, emerges
from his bout with Billy Powers on
last Thursday light with his crown
still on his head. Although defeated by
Powers, Jack lost no credit, because
of the fact that Powers was a middle
weight and not a welterweight. Never
theless, Jack is angling for another
match with Billy, and therefore the
writer will bring them together in two
weeks for a six-round bout before the
K. of C. arena No. 1 Building.
Mike O’Dowd, the middleweight
ohamnion, who is now in France with
Uncle Sam's soldiers, in a letter receiv
ed from him today, states that he ar
rived safely on the other side and that
it will not be long before he will be in
action against the Germans. Mike
further stated that his ship was con
voyed by a large number of war ves
sels and that they did not see a I—boat
all the way over.
All of the boxers who arc to appear
in bouts at Warren Park on Labor Day
are rounding into the best possible eon-

that Smith went eight rounds with Ket

Sam Langford
Before Willie Lewis carried the ring
game "overseas’' to George Carpentier,
and showed some other good Frenchman
how to wield the mitts. Jack had the
benefit of his knowledge in helping him
train.
At this time Jack had to his credit a
decision over Louis Yates at the Fairmont
Athletic Club, the boxing home of Benny
Leonard. Shortly after this he took the
measure of Jack Diamond, the Laurel
Hill chanip. n sx rounds. Jm Foley, of
Philadelphia, was the next victim in ten

—*——
The three judges selected to act in ■■
this capacity of Labor Day, are the
most competent boxing experts in this
part of the counrty. They are Major
Hall of the British Army, Captain
Daniels, also of the British Army and
Captain Hammond, the former heavy
weight champion of tha United States j
army.
In an interview with the writer Cap
tain Daniels conveyed the glad tidings
that he was the official referee at the ,
Loverpool Stadium, and refereed sev- :
eral bouts in which Jimmy Wilde, the
English bantamweight champion par- !
ticipa.ted in. The captain claims that
Wi«lle is a marvel and can like any
man ’n the world. As a matter of fact
the captain goes so far as to say that
in his opinion he thinks that Widle
can knockout the English lightweight
champion. Freddy Welsh.
Fred Fulton has retired for the du
ration of the war. Retired indeed as
one of the world’s fitting fistic stars. ,
and while eschewing pugilism he in- [
tends to engage in war work. From ■
Minneapolis ho has made his resolve |
known. In stepping down and out of I
the big prgillntic sMing Fred pauses ■
and says that he has little or nothing
to say about his 18 second catastrophe
except that Dempsey smote him when
he least expected it.
Jack Williams
Retains Championship
The K. of C. arena. Building No. 1,
was the scene of one of the most sen
sational boxing bouts ever witnessed
in this part of the country on last
Thursday night, when Jack Williams,
the welterweight champion of Camp
Hancock, stacked up against Billy
Powers, the California middleweight,
in the main event of four rounds.
At the termination of the bout, the
judges awarded the decision to Powers
by a shade. Nevertheless, Williams
still holds the welterweight champion
ship, because of the fact that Powers
outweighed him by 15 pounds and was
a middleweight instead of a welter
weight. Jack must be given a great
deal of credit .or the great fight he
put up against such heavy odds.
Nelson and Virgits in Star Exhibition.
Just before the main bout was put
on. Joe Nelson, the hard-hitting and
aggressive New Orleans lightweight
champion, boxed a fast three-round
exhibition with Phil Virgits, the south
ern featherweight champion. These
two men save the big crowd a real fis
tic treat, in the line of handing out
some very clever boxing which they
comboned with soporific punches.
Bobby Greer and Eddie Sullivan in
Sluggin-' Match.
The third star bout of the evening
brought together Bobby Greer, the
Oklahoma. Bearcat of the Ordnance
Department, and Eddie Sullivan of the
Cayalry Sue.-ialist School For three
rounds these two men went at each
other like two iff era. and to the de
light of the big crowd slugged through
the entire bout.
The judges awarded the decision to
Greer, and the 15,000 men present ap
plauded tame with plenty of enthu
siasm.
Medic I Corps Men Put up Great
Fights.
Preceding the main events, there
were six bouts put on between evenly
matched men from the Medical Cqrps
of Third Group, M. T. D. These bouts
were all secured through the courtesy
of Captain De Vries.
Following is the results:
Abe Kitzes defeated Isadore Cook,
