That He Is a Pitcher
Columbia, June 5.?Rube Benton,
New York, National League, pitcher,
was discovered at Camp Jackson yes- j
terday when he was asked to take i
part in a company game.
The southpaw had not spoken of his
connection with baseball and was '

was a bip fellow and "looked like he
could pitch." j
He accepted the invitation, strikinp ,
out wenty-five batters, allowinp only
one hit and hittinp a home run in the
second inning. <
After the panic he admitted that
pitching baseball was his profession

GOOD DESIGNING IS SEEN ,
IN NAVY AMBULANCE ]
Quick, easy loading is one of the
important features of a fine-appearing
ambulance lately built for the
medical department of the navy.
Twelve sitting patients, or four
stretcher cases, can be accommodated. ]
Tl>e interior arrangement is such that \
one folding wall seat and two stretch- i
ers may be used simultaneously, if it
should be found desirable to do so.?
