Show CAMPCAHILLBOYS HOLDELECTION Desert rarie Civilian Conservation corps camp No. F-15, located at Wah Wah springs, is now Camp Cahill, in honor of the popular top sergeant at ttiat camp, W. J. Cahill, a typical regular army soldier but one who has endeared himself to all the men and boys at the camp and likewise to all townspeople who have contacted him. The naming of the camp and the election of activity officers took place last week, with all those attached to j the camp taking part. ! Francis Marshall of Tooele was elected president; Alvin Boyd of Salt Lake City, vice-president and Carl I Simmons of Tooele, secretary-treas-1 urer. Ralph Pratt of Tooele was , elected general chairman of athletic i activities, with the following viee-j viee-j chairmen representing the various I sports: Wrestling, "Red" Merrill of ! Tooele; boxing, Pete Powies of New- port News, Virginia, volley ball, Lou-I Lou-I is J. Carper of Newport News; and horseshoe-pitching, Sam Mclnto.-h of Tooele. Mr. Carper was also elected to head the music activities of the camp. The Camp Cahill boys engaged in their first baseball game Saturday afternoon on the Milford diamond, when they ntet the boys from Camp Delano, the Beaver mountain C. C. C. camp. With only one practice as a team since the belated arrival of baseball equipment, the Camp Cahill boys were no match for those from the east camp, who have defeated almost every' team they have met during the past several weeks- The Beaver team had things their own way virtually all through the game, the final scoie being 9-0 in their favor, but we have an idea that a more careful selection of players with a view to improving the batting of the team and some intensive practicing, prac-ticing, will bring about some decidedly decid-edly better results in the next meeting meet-ing of the two teams. A box score of the Saturday game was promised The News but it failed to materialize. |
