SPORTS
Teams  Lose Championships.
On August 8 the Company team
tangled with Company 3703's team in
a City league game in Cloquet. The
game was close all the way, ending
in the fifth inning because of darkness with the score tied, 1 to 1. Hits
were even, four apiece, and strikeouts
were even at six apiece. We tied the
score up in the last half of the fifth
inning when, after two were out,
Deveney got on base, stole second and
came home on Frew's hit to short left
field. Wallace hit a triple to lead our
hitters.
On Aug. 11 we met Company 721's
team at Two Harbors. Frew did the
pitching and made a nice job of it,
gathering 12 hits over the seven innings. Frew led with three hits,
while Kelsey, Deveney, Fernandez,
and Hintz each collected two. Eight
of our men went down on strikes. The
score was 12 to 3 in our favor.
To decide the championship of the
City league in Cloquet, it was decided
that the Jay Cooke team and our
team play a three game series, the
winner of two games to be the champion. Jay Cooke had won the first
half and we had won the second half.
We met Jay Cooke Aug. 12 in Cloquet and lost a tough game by the
score of 5 to 1. We outhit the opposition 8 to 6, with Frew and Kelsey each getting two hits. Fernandez pitched pretty good ball, but was
allowing hits when they hurt. He allowed six hits, struck out 10 and walked none. Anderson, Jay Cooke pitcher, allowed eighth hits, struck out
seven and walked one. We are still
wondering how we happened to, lose
that game. Our team played good
ball in the field.
On August 15 we met again, and
lost again, this time by the score of
5 to 4. Frew did the pitching and
pitched good ball most of the way,
but he, too, was allowing hits when
they hurt most. He allowed five hits,
struck out six men and walked one.
Anderson, Jay Cooke pitcher, allowed
five hits, struck out six, and walked

Superintendent Trengove and Ranger Carlton attended a three day
meeting at Grand Rapids last week.
The meeting was held for the purpose of discussing the various work
projects now under way in all of the
camps. All of the superintendents
had a chance to air their grievances
and to find out what was going on in
the different state camps. Highlights
of the meeting were a banquet and a
j field trip to Camp S-53 to inspect
'. model completed work projects. The
i skipper made the trip with Inspector
Gillis and reported a very fine and
interesting time.
Since the last issue of the Breeze,
improvement work on the Rapids
stretch of Otter creek has 'been completed by the hell-divers of Section
E. More work of this type will soon
be started on Squaw creek.
EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
Survey shows that there are no illiterate boys in camp—all are able
to read and write. The last report
shows 50 have graduated from the
eighth grade and 53 are high school
graduates. The camp is of high calibre, from an educational standpoint.
Many of the boys who are graduates
are making use of their present leisure time by doing voluntary reading
in the educational rooms of the camp.
These high school graduates have
been broadening themselves by this
extra   reading   and  are   looking   for-

The construction of the new building over the forestry gas .pump has
been done by Magnett, Gilliland, and
Nasenius.
Newman has been replaced as assistant clerk in the state office by
Lelan Davis.
Turner and his three-man crew are
still busy cutting quarter and sixteenth lines. This is quite a job.
These men have to keep their bearing at all times or they might not
get back.
All of the crews, excepting the double-shift gravel crews, are working
on dead and down. They hope to complete this work sometime.
TENNIS  TOURNAMENT
Since the last issue of the Breeze,
another sport, and a very popular
one, has come into existence in camp.
The tennis court was completed about
the first of July, and since that time
it has been the scene of much activity from morning till night. So much
interest has been shown that we decided to have a tournament, which at
