COKPAUY AND IffiTACHLEiMTS.
Company "E".
We came out on the long end of a 15 to 10 basket ball game
with the Detachment last week. The game was fast and hard fought
and now finds the two teams one and one, with the deciding game
to be played in the n§ar future.
Company "E" and the Haines Athletic Club played one of the
best games of the season Thursday night of last week, that kept
the spectators thrilled and keyed up to the highest pitch to the
last moment. The score is still in doubt in our minds as many of
those who witnessed it will agree that we had the best team on the
floor. According to the score board the score stood 22 to 20 in
favor of Haines, but take away a couple of baskets that were al
f lowed and give us several that were -di sallowed, and the score is
about correct.
' Our team goes up against " F" Company next Saturday night, and
the game is sure to be a real battle as we won the last game by
only a few points.
Although the rain drizzled all week-end, many of the boys
used their imagination and sallied forth in quest of the wily rab
bit and "brer fox", but no record bags have been reported,
"E" and "F" Companies bowled last Monday night with the Fol
lowing results: "E" 2078 pins, and "F" 2025,

Pfc. Evans, Post Painter, and his assistants are painting the
interior of the Hospital and we expect to have it in first class
condition in a short time. Pfc. Evans deserves credit for his un
tiring efforts to complete the job on record time as well as for
his first class workmanship and decorative ability.
The Med. Det. basketball team strengthened by Sergeant Major
Renwick, hopes to give a good account of themselves against the
Sitka Natives and other teams that we are scheduled to play in the
near future.
A letter has been received from pfc. Wagstaf f, a former member
of the Det. , wishing all his friends a Happy New Year.
Private Faulkner has returned to the iold again after spend
ing several months in the City of Haines, and we extend to him the
"glad hand", and hope his stay will be prosperous and pleasant.
FRED W. BERRY WRITES A LETTER.
Fred W. Berry, ex-member of Company "F",writes the Assistant
Editor of the Chilkoot Post, from Monterey Park, California,
that he is employed by the Los Angeles Gas Company and is doing
fairly well, but has never been satisfied since he left Alaska
about six months ago. He says he is basing in the Land °* Su^“
shine and Flowers", but to him there is no place like Alaska, and
he intends to return soon. He is still a prompt at-endant at Sun
day School and has never missed a Sunday since he left, and was
fortunate enough to receive a pair of silk hose for a Christmas
present and has been very busy ever since getting used to wearing
them, which to him is no easy matter. Konterey Park is a small
burg about twelve miles from Los Angeles, and he says a beautiful
little city at times visited by the "movie actresses of Hollywoo .
