The Division Headquarters’ baseball team proved no match for the aggregation of the 107th regiment in a game played Sunday af ternoon, and went down to defeat by the score of 11 to 6. Johnny Heaslip, of the former nine, displayed his old time form, accepting a number of difficult chances at third base. He drove out a home run in the ninth inning which chased two men across the platter before him. The attrac tion was w itnessed by a large crowd of spec tators from the various organizations in camp.

MAINE PIONEERS MEET MASTERS. The 56th Pioneers formerly the First Maine Artillery, had their winning streak blocked last Saturday by Company D, 105th Machine Gun Battalion. It was the fastest game seen at Camp Wadsworth and went ten innings. The score was 5 to 4. Until the ninth inning the Maniocs had things all their way and led 3 to 1. The Ma chine Gunners found their range however and opened up w ith everything they had, ty ing the score. The 56th tallied once in the tenth but their lead was a short one, the 105th repeating its operations again for a victory. Wenstrom did the twirling for the winning team.

The baseball team of Company I, 51st Pio neers, went to Greer Saturday and played the Victor Mills team off their feet, defeating them by a score of 7 to 0. On the Victor team were a few former league players and the team had plenty of backers. After the first round, however, when Company I scored four runs the fans suddenly became very quiet. Fountain pitched mid-season ball, al lowing only four hits and striking out fifteen batters. McLeod, P eters and D’Amato came across with timely hits.

Games can be arranged w ith Sergeant Fritz. I I .®»®..®..®»®»®«®»®..®..®»®«.® PIONEERS READY FOR ACTION. Preparing Great Doings for Next Few Weeks. The Pioneer Division will lead her sister organization, the 27th, a merry chase in the athletic line for the next month or so. Harvey Cohn, Division Athletic Director, is fortunate in having live w ires on the differ ent committees that will look after the sports in the Corps Camp. The Baseball Committee, at their first meeting held April 2d in the Knights of Columbus building, elected Lieutenant Lo gan, Aide to General Sweetser, P resident of the League. Lieutenant Logan is a well known Harvard football player. Chaplain Carey of the 56th Pioneers ’ was elected Chairman. Sixteen Regimental and separate Unit teams will start in the League. They are arranged in four groups. The semi-final round will be settled by April 30. The win ning nine will have it out with the Cham pions of the 27th Division. The Track and Field Committee of the Pioneer Division will open up their season with a big set of Athletic games, Military events and other attractions on Patriot’s Day, April 19th. Most of the events will be open to all the Camp. The Officers of the Pioneer Division will not be outdone by the enlisted men, and will have leagues of their own in the dif ferent sports. Harvey Cohn, Camp Athletic Director, is some busy man these days. The two Di visions have to be worked with separate committees and he has to have two head quarters as his charges are about a mile and a half apart. Holding down two jobs is a small matter for H arvey, however. CHARLIE CHAPLIN AND DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS, BEWARE! Two moving picture concerns had their operators in Camp Sunday afternoon taking pictures of the athletic activities. The drill ground of the 27th Division was the stage, and H arvey Cohn was stage manager. Moran had his boxers perform and the 56th Pioneer Infantry sent their boxing class over under the able leadership of Sergeant Paul Fraser. The men put up a snappy drill. Sergenat Major T ector of the English Officers’ School had his Physical Training Class on exhibition and the performance they put up could not be improved upon. Pictures were taken of some of the heats in the sprints and the mile walk. The 107th Infantry had a wall scaling team out.
