Private Enriquez of Company C, 59th Battalion strikes a fighting
pose for the photographer after being named middle weight
champion of the Post. The scrappy youngster was given a close
decision over Private Dillon of Company B, 56th Bn., in the final
Imut of the Post’s spring boxing tournament. Winners in other
waiglil classes included Scott, 56th Bn.; Holer, 58th Bn.; Holquiu,

play. If interested, call 64.
B-59 team has had its share of
hard luck. It dropped a hard-
fought game to Civilian Person
nel Monday night after leading
in the early stages. C. P. finally
cracked through defenses in the
last minutes to win 28 to 26.
Abbot Face!
The idea of fair play and clean
spori has obviously paid divi
dends, according to the statistics.
Civilian Personnel had been guil
ty of only 20 fouls in 12 games.
We don’t know, but perhaps that
is one reason that C.P. is leading
the pack as they approach the
finish line.

In Two Contests
A placard on the wall just
above Major Z. S. Beiser’s desk
at Post Engineers headquarters,
reads: “I complained because I
had no shoes Then I saw a

Down in Tennessee Private W il

graph office with a somewhat
bored expression on his face. A
blank was handed him. Immed

his "draft board in Petersburg,

‘‘Sorry cannot report 13th. A l

Baseball Talent
Sought for Post
A call for diamond talent in
terested in playing with the
Post baseball team during the
coming season was issued by the
sports department of the Special
Service Office this week.
It is important that players,
especially pitchers, begin prac
ticing as soon as possible, Sgt.
Leo Frizzi, coach, pointed out.
Prospective team members are
urged to contact the Post Re
creation Hall, ’phone 64, im

Softball equipment was dis
tributed '.o units throughout the
Center, and recreation officers
were asked to be on the lookout
for talent for the forthcoming
softball tournament and the
Post baseball team.

the all-important message—sol

of the better half. But something
happened, or rather nothing hap
pened. When released the birds
fluttered right back to perch on
the guy’s shoulder.
Finally, in desperation, Pvt.
Reissen, United States Army,
used the telephone.
