BASEBALL TEAM WINS
Score 16 to 5.
The company baseball team opened the season last Sunday with a win
over the Barnum town team, the
score being 16 to 5. This runs the
string of wins to 18 straight, continuing onto the winning streak of 17
straight games last summer. Wonder just how long this thing is going
to continue!
From a strictly baseball standpoint,
the game was only a fair exhibition.
However, considering the early season and the cold weather, the team
performed creditably. Frew was on
the mound and pitched good ball,
bearing down only occasionally.
Hintz was behind the bat.
The game was featured by heavy
hitting on the part of the company
team. Kelsey hit a home run, Frew
hit a triple, and Watt, Deveney,
Maynor, Cavanaugh, and Lt. Halbeisen hit doubles. Most of these extra
base hits came with men on base.
Maynor hit his double with the bases
full.
The infield looked especially good,
only one error being made by the in-
fielders.

Convoy of Trucks Stored Here; Camp

ATHLETIC PROGRAM
Sub-district   Competition.
At 8:30 p. m. on May 2, Superin
tendent Trengove received a phone j
call from Grand Rapids supply depot requesting the immediate deliverance of 18 drivers for as many new
Chevrolet trucks—the same to be
brought to our camp where they will
be distributed to other state camps
in the near future.
As the crews had already left
camp, the Skipper was forced to round
up all available men from the camp
overhead and pick up several more
from the crews that were working
closest to camp.
Due to conflicting orders on the
docks at Duluth, Supt. Trengove
found himself in an embarrassing
situation. While the skipper was at
one end of the dock looking for Bob
O'Connel (who was supervising the
unloading of the state trucks), a boss
stevedore told the 18 men who were
at the other end of the dock the
trucks they were after were in an
adjoining transfer yard and to get
them out right away so as to make
room for more trucks which were being unloaded. So-o-o, the Skipper returned after locating the right batch
of trucks to find his 18 men in the
cabs of 18 trucks lined up, one after
the other, along 19 city blocks—almost.
What made it woi-se, the 18 drivers
had driven out of all the unloading
confusion, and a nice job at that,
trucks that were assigned to federal
camps and which were shipped by a
competitive firm. Wre think the Skipper lit a couple of Kools about that
time.
After  the  confusion,  however,  the
i trip back to camp was made without
any mishaps whatever and the trucks
J were lined up in a beautiful row fac-
i ing the ball diamond on the west side.
Phil Joyce didn't think much of the
! power of the new '35 Chevs until it
was discovered that he was starting
out in high gear.

Lt. Halbeisen attended a meeting
of camp athletic officers at Company
2710 on Tuesday, May 6, for the purpose of discussing competitive sports
to be held in this sub-district during
the coming summer. Following is
the dope that he brought back from
the  meeting:
The sub-district will be divided into separate parts—Eastern league and
Western league—due to the great distance between the camps in each side
of the sub-district. This camp is located in the Western league, and will
compete against the following camps:
701, 703, 719, 721, 1721, 2710 and
2773. At the close of the season
games will be held between the best
teams in the two leagues to decide
the winners in the sub-district.
Only two of the sports have schedules drawn up for them. The two
sports placed on regular schedule are
baseball and diamond hall. The other
sports will be played as the most convenient time presents itself, but it
is hoped that the horse shoe pitchers
and volley ball players will make the
trips along with the baseball and
diamond ball players.
The schedule for baseball and diamond ball for this company for the
\ first half of the season reads as follows: Co. 1760 will meet Co's. 70.1,
703, 721, and 1721 at Two Harbors.
Company 1760 meets Co's. 719, 2710,
and 2773 here. The second half of
the schedule will be a repitition of
the first. All games will be played
on Sunday, except that it might be
necessary some time to make up a
postponed game on Saturday.
A track meet is to be held sometime later in the season and the following events are scheduled to be run.
off: '50, 100, and 200 yard dashes;
440 relay; high jump, broad jump,
shot put, discus and javelin. One of
the group sports will be a tug-of-
war, with ten men to a team. Chaplain Normoyle feels that he can secure the Cloquet track for this meet.
