We are now a pretty well-mixed
Colonel's Column
Crew, consisting of soldiers and
workmen on the area. We have
individually lost
' our entity. We
must begin to
[think now, more
of the other fel­
low’s problems—
get more of a
community spir­
it. For example,
you workmen are
trying to get the
Col. Deilslets
buildings done
and inconvenience the troops as
little as possible. On the other
hand, the troops are trying to get
moved in, and install boardwalks,
shelving, and what not, in the good
old Army fashion, — by “promot­
ing” the material—to further their
comfort. Soldiers, I appreciate your
hustling efforts, but don’t “swipe”
things from the contractors . . .
there are other legitimate ways to
do it. Ask your superiors, they’ll
know the ropes, or will learn quick­
ly-
We hope to get you all comfort­
ably established in good time, but
we need your help by not chiseling
materials now on hand. Materials
are a difficult problem under any
condition, but getting materials
and equipment now is practically
impossible.
Let's plan to think a little along
community lines now — we’re all
going the same direction, so let’s
ride comfortably and pleasantly to­
gether, rather than “getting in
each other’s hair.” I’m all for you
both—and know you’re all for me.
Just let us know in the usual
channels, and we’ll do our best to
help you. Regular channels mean
through your Post Commander­
better get used to him now, he’s
going to “be your Daddy” for the
next little while anyhow.
O. K., stay in there Punching—
see you next week.

Tuesday Night's Results
Laundries 9, SHW Builders 8.
Lumber Co. 4, Pepsi-Cola 0.
A triple by Landis in the elev­
enth inning scored two runs for the
Laundries and proved to account
for the winning margin of a tight,
extra-inning battle played here
Tuesday night which finally ended
with the Laundrymen victorious
->ver the SHW team by the score
of 9 to 8.
The game, wihich lasted two and
one-half hours, was close only after
the first seven innings had boon
played. The Laundrymen built up
a 6 to 1 lead by the seventh inning
with three ruwe in the first, two in
the fifth, and one more in the sev­
enth inning. However, the SHW
team went all out in the seventh to
collect five runs and tie the score
at 6-all. Hutchins and Hellberg
did the heavy-hitting for the Build­
ers in that inning.
The eighth, ninth and tenth
frames saw very little action, but
the Laundrymen came up in the
first half of the eleventh with their
big rally. Beard, first man up,
walked, was sacrificed to third by
Kruger, and scored on Peters’ sin­
gle breaking the deadlock. Dethman
then walked, advancing Peters to
second and both men scored on
Landis’ triple. The side was retired
immediately afterward, and the
SHW club came up. Beck scored
on an error by Landis, Laundry
shortstop and was followed by Hell­
berg who came in on a walk. Then
“Murphy got rich quick, didn’t with two out and the bases loaded,
Mattice flied out to third to re­
he?”
“He got rich so quick that he tire the side and end the ball game.

in six trips to the plate, and Lan­
dis, who hit a triple and double in
five chances, were the leading hit­
ters for the winners.
In the second game of the eve­
ning the Lumbermen upset the
Pepsi-Cola boys with a 4 to 0 shut­
out behind the tight one-hit pitch­
ing and heavy-hitting of Handy.
Starting the scoring in the first
inning with one run, the winners
then collected one in the third and
two more in the fourth inning.
Handy hit a double and single in
two trips to the plate, the only hits
off the Pepsi pitchers. The con­
test went for only five innings due
to the great length of the first
game.
