EARLY START
For several months there have been a
few hard-working men who put in an
hour or two every day working out on
the punch bag, developing their con-
trol, wind, speed, and punch. By most
of the ship they have gone unnoticed, but
their attitude is worth attention. An
early start is essential in boxing as in
any form of sport. Gradually continuous
effort develops stamina and the ability
to dish it out in the ring. Training is
not merely a few weeks of laying off
cigarettes and doing intensive work, it
is a long hard grind.
Scherer, Norris and Moore have been
working out consistently and showing
commendable Interest in the game. They
put in a good fast few minutes every day
and are building up to something.
A few others have put In time. Nor-
ton, Stayer, Stevenson, Pearson and Reed
work out every day or so. There are
still other men who have gear and who
have not been working out at all. Now
is the time to start. If you aren't going
to use the gear you have, there is plenty
of good material on the ship ready to go
to work and do a good job.
To those who have been doing their
stuff, congratulations; to those who
have let the matter escape attention,
think it over and see if _t doesn't add up
to something worth while after all.
While the hard work Is going on and
there is nobody to cheer, the sledding is
pretty tough, but the reward is sure to
come in the end. Let's see some action.
ATHLETIC INVENTORY
(Continued from Page One.)
given the proper notice in this tabulation
hand in their kicks with a full 1 st of the
men out for athletics from their division
to Ens. H. T. Johnson, and an effort will
be made to rectify the mistake in our
next month's tabulation, provided that
the coaches of the various sports sub-
stantiate the claim.
SEND THE STEER H3MEBASEBALL
Saturday's game, which the SARA-
TOGA won 12 to 7, was a ,decided d s-
appointment. Eight bases on balls and
five errors were the man contributing
factors. Three of the errors were par-
ticularly d sastrous, coming in the fifth
with three bases on balls and counting for
five runs after the SARATOGA should
have been retired.
Kirschke started in the box. He was
constantly In trouble due to wildness.
Smith was called to relieve him in the
fatal fifth. H s wild heaving and some
rather weird support allowed the enemy
to gain a lead of five runs which they
maintained.
The TEXAS took the lead in the third
inning when Bittner's long fly to right
field got away from Sanders who made
a hard try. In the seventh, with the score
9-6 and men on second and th rd, Tate
drove what looked like a home run to deep
left. Newman, however, ran back, fell
against the fence and held the ball.
A decided ninth inning threat was stop-
red by Gentner who, w th Maddox at
short, starred for the SARATOGA.
After three successive hits, rcoring one
run and placing men on second and third,
Gentner went hWgh in the air to spear
Bittner's drive down the right field line.
Stanton, Bittner and Williamson did
good work for the TEXAS.
Today's game with the ARIZONA will
start at 1500 on Number 2 Diamond at
Trona Field. Our team is out to win.
Better pitching and fielding is promised.
LAST WILL OF JOHN PAUL
JONES FOUND
(Continued from Page Three.)
France, devoted a period of six years in
the difficult search for the body. In
1905 the leaden casket n which Jones was
buried was disinterred in an entirely for-
gotten cemetery wh ch had in time be-
come a back yard garden plot. The body,
found to be in a remarkable state of
preservat on, was removed and positively
identified by methods that even included
an autopsy.

Do you know that the "R" Division
consists of the band, ,shipfitters, carpen-
ters, barbers, laundrymen, ship's-service,
buglers, side-cleaners, Chief Boatswains
Mates, First Lieutenant's Yeomen and a
couple of storekeepers for good luck!
* * * * *
Force, Yeoman lc, recently transferred
from the "C" Division, and Murphy SF3c
are staging some sort of an "Era of Good
Cheer". Everytime you meet either one
or the other in the passageway you get
the big "Hello", and hows all your folks.
This is deemed directly responsible for us
being sl ghtly behind in our job orders.
The division cannot cope with all this
attention.
The shipfitters cordially invIte the
ships crew down to the bunkroom to
park on the newly built transom (alias -
couch,) providing they are physically able
to roll "Read-em-off" Woodward from the
horizontal pos tion he assumes on it, after
plumbing here and there all day wth
Klamfoth.

An official greeting is in order to Ken-
iston C. B. CSF who is now in charge of
the Ship 1tter Shop. Welcome
Houston, W. C. and Andrews, L. S. who
are now CBM and CBMSTR respectively,
have solved the problem that has g ven
them much worry. -am will make a
few canvas uniforms and Andy agrees
to melt up that French horn to provide
the buttons.

Wouldn't it be a laugh if the First
Lieutenant wvuld tell Caxiola to pain the
pa nt lockcr..and chip it ?
In a recent check-up, it was found that
43% of the "R" Division were home
guards. Here are just a few of the
things you may have to do should you
stand-by for someone not of your rating:
Wash clothes, beat a bass drum, build a
swab rack, wr to shorthand or cut hair.
One can't be too careful.Page Four
