It was Lady Mendel (what's she
doing in a sports column, you ask ? )
( who said:
“Never complain and never ex-
plain.”
That, as far as it goes, is a
sound philosophy, But it isn’t GI

And soon, it won’t even fit the
sports section of the Sentry. We
are requested and with good rea­
son to explain that it was defi­
nitely not Lt. Robert Barrett’s
Deadeye Inf. Regiment Bulldogs
who were taken into camp by the
slim count of 6 to 5 by the Tim­
ber Wolf Mountaineers in boxing
bouts the other night.
It was that tough aggregation
shepherded by Capt. Fidward Me-
Cloy.
The Bulldogs, who are among
pioneer boxing teams at Camp
Adair, have yet to be defeated
in conflict, armed or otherwise.
Also the ball team represented
as the Wildcats last week in the
Sentry will henceforth be known
as the Green Sox.

Getting thus far into baseball
we thought it would be a good idea
this week to tell you who will play
in the world “serious,” then take
a nice long furlough. But we dis­
covered the authoritative Sgt. Ed­
win (The Muzzier) Gottfried, who
knows his baseball better than

with these remarks:

“You want it on form? Or
what I think?
“Well, what I think is that
you’ll see the world series played
in St. Louis, between the Browns
and the Cards.”
This makes a nice reading for
Sgt. Jack Knott of the Timber
Wolves, since the Browns, re-
member, are his old alma mater.
It will also make a nice deal for
A-card holders and the walking
public around Sportsman Park.
Gottfried dopes it out this way:

Post Hdq. Co. 5; Post Hdq., 0 (Oh, No!)
It was a thumping fine evening for softball Tuesday, so
Post Hdq. Co. thumped its way to a 5-0 win over Post Hdq. in
seven innings. There is only one answer to that—a return go.
Hdq. Co. is also aiming at Post Hdq. officers, but they haven’t
practiced enough (they do say) to send out a big, brave call to
the prime outfits in the Timber Wolf and Deadeye divisions.
