A} the boys en- joyed this work-out under the new arrangement, and the contests ar- ranged by Lieut.r Bewes, Sergt.- Major Rainbow and Mr. Ward, of the "Y! staff, provided plenty of exéreise as well as amusement for the boys. Group races were parti- cularly enjoyed, as well as medium hall and ball passing games, but the feature of the afternoon was the boxing contests, each bout being. of but a few minutes' duration to al- low every man a chance to show his class. With certain indications of the Weather clearing, it was decided to play ball,' and the regular lefgue game between C.A.D.C. and E.O.R. Was called at four o'clock, the men turning out full strength to toot for their respective teams. C.A.8.C. got away to an early start, and looked to have the game safely on ice when the slugging ability of E. O. R. came to the ifront and for a while it was rather bumpy for C. A. D. C,, but the Service Corps boys got together and put across a win by the score of 9 to 12. It is predicted that the scheduled for Friday night -between C.A,.D.C. and C.A.M.C. will be one of the closest and hardest fought contests seen in these . parts for many a moon. Both teams: are on edge and anticipate a real battle. Everyone who attends this game is game | --- gE Military News | Thé residents of Hastings gave Lieut. ¥F. 8.
