FANNED 24 MEN
IN SCRUB CAME
* COLUMBIA. S. U. July 20 — “Wh:u
you fellows need i." a b..ii “gmae" said
tile young lieutenant. to a crowd of
newly-arrived recruits at ( amp Jack
son. “How many of you know how to
play ?
There was a fair showing of up
raised hands, and the joutig officer
went to work sorting out his talent.
Soon he had two teams complete with
the exception of one pitcher. Every
man had some familarity with the
portion to which he was assigned, but
team No 2 hadn't evt n an apology or
a pitcher.
“Well, don’t you folk \vs get dis
couraged," said the officer, “k iird
a pitcher for you . Limber up, now.
and get ready for the show. t’il Ik*
back right away.'
The lieutenant's method of recruit
a pitcher wasn't the careful one known
to baseball scouts for majoi league
teams, but it brought results. Going
into a bunch of bystandeis he singled
out a big athletic looking chap and
said brusquely. "Po.you know any
thing bout baseball?"
“A little" replied tk<* ccruit meekly
■“Yes, I’ve pitched a Vv. games"
“Good! Now you report at once to
pitch for team Xo2. l>on*t be afraid.
There’s nothing to be scared about.
It’ll give you nerve, and that’s what
soldiers have got to have.’
The lieutenant led the big recruit
to the diamond, cautioned him about
not letting the crowd ratt’e h m and
then donned protector and took his
place as umpire.
Team No 2 went to bat fi st and
made one run. Then Xo2 took the field
with the bfg meek-looking recruit
walking slowly toward the mound.
“On your toes, now; action, action!”
shouted the umpire director.
“Yes sir," replied the new pitcher.
“Strike one! Good boy: try It again."
The big recruit hurled another that
broke just over the inside corner.
By this time the lieutenant was
thinking hard.
“Strike three!*'
Team No 1 was retired on ninepit
1 died balls.
between innings teamates sur
rounded the new pitcher.
“Cues - y >ii’ve had a little experience
ii .ven’t you ?
•* A Little/* replied the big fellow.
Team No 2 went at it hard and scor
ed three more runs. Two men were on
b uses and two were out when the pit
« her. the last man on the batting order
v‘ ime to the plate. He heaved at the
ei'ond ball pitched and it cleared the
: e »nter field crowd. He trotted home
j st as casiy and quietly as though it

: tci make a home run.
£*ome ball player, cnoruscu tne
I crowd.
Whf \ the game was over the big
chap had struck out exactly 25 men
a id had allowed only one hit.
The lieutenant-umpire director then
, maichcd up and said:
' “Who are you. anywnj ?*'
Oh. mv name is Benton: 1 come from
the New York Giants.”
“Y» u mast be a biother of Rube Ben
North Carolina.”
“f haven’t got any brother.”
*S..v are you Rube Benton?”
“That’s what they call me in Xew
York,” said the big recruit. And that

its would carry out their threats to kill
all Chinese in Mexico and General
Pershing gave them permission to pro
ceed to the border with his column.
Arriving at Columbus, N. M., the
Chinese were placed in n internment
camp, until arrangements were made
between representatives of the United
States immigration department, the
Chinese government and the tongs to
which the Chinese belong foi their
transfer to San Antonio. Here they
wore allotted to the army camps and
posts where they do all classes of work
for the army and do it well.
Many of these Chinese arc wealthy,
having owned stores and rancehs in
Mexico. They have endowed a bed .in
uhe American hospital at Neuilly
France, gave what was characterized
as the largest chop suey party ever
held .in Texas as a Red Cross benefit,
subscribed to Red Cross funds, and
many have bought Liberty Bonds and
Thrift stamps. Many Chinese have
applied for permission to enlist in the
United States army.
