Downed By Co. "E"
18th Infantry
________

In a very fast and exciting game
of baseball, Company "E", 118th
Inf., defeated Companh "D." 118th
Infantry, Wednesday afternoon. Af-
ter struggling vainly Company "D"
was forced to it over in the
ninth inning, the score being 4 to 3,
Mallone for Co. "E" allowes only 5
hits against 10 issued by Medlock.
Both tean made a goof showing,
but Company "E" had an edge on
them in the form of Malone, who
pitched a superb game, and the field-
ing or Reaves and Boling. In fact,
Company "E" believes she has the
goods and craves conviction to the
contrary. If any manager in the Div-
ision or in Greenville thinks he has
the best material, trot 'em out. Ad-

Machine Gun Boys Win Another.
"A" Company, 114th M. G. Bn.
made it eight straight last Saturday
when they added another win to
their string by defeating the Divisi-
on Headquarters ball team by the
overwhelming score of 14 to 2. It
was a game featured by much hit-
ting and marred by much wrangling.
THe whole machine gun team hit the
ball hard and those deserving
especial mention were Vaughan,
Blair and Austin. Vaughan touched
the opposing pitchers for four safe
hits while "School Boy" Blair got a
home run and Mgr. Austin, not to be
outdone by his hirelings hit two long
drives each of which was enough for
him to touch all the bases. The
Headquaters left fielder displayed
some brilliant base ball when he
stopped a hot one from Catcher
Esccue's bat and immediately re-
layed it, making a double play.
"A" Company claims the cham-
pionship of the 114th M. G. Bn. and
are to tangle horn with Battery "C"
115th F. A. next Saturday and some
fast base ball is expected when these
two Tennessee teams go together.
Batteries---M. G.---Austin. Escue
and Hdys---Bishop, Walsh.

Defeats Victor Boys
________

Greer, April 4. (Special).---Last
Saturday afternoom a ball team from
Camp Wadsworth came over and
played the Victor team at the Victor
ball park. The home team played
hard but was unbale to score a sin-
gle run against the soldiers and the
game ended with 7 scores to the sol-
diers credit and nothing for Victor.

was almost out of the commission
with a bad arm, but when he gets
in trim again the Victor boys will
deliver a couter drive and restore
all their lost positions.

A HIKE.

(105th F-S. Bn.)
_________

On March the thirteenth day,
A hike was made astray.
A shelter half and blanket was our
lead,
For twenty miles down the long dirt
road,
Merry and cheerful was the crowd,
Songs were sung both soft and loud.
The field kitchen brought up the reat
And soldiers at twelve it did cheer.
The dinner was a treat,
O soldiers! They did eat.
In three minutes a city was built of
tents,
The object of which was to experi-
ment.
In no less time did the city fail,
When the bugler sounded his noted
call.
Major Van Deusen led the hike.
He's short in statue, but nor on
pikes.
As the day drew near its close.
Soldiers determined their ability to
expose.
Tired and weary were our feet,
But we bet the Kaiser we can beat.
