Up late- After breakfast news comes from Major Bonell that a team is to play the Colombey team this morning 1st Rosenbloom (Doc), Bill White (C) Gorman (P), (Bugs, P.), 2nd Ashenden, ShortS Norton, 3rd Elliot, C.F. O'Neil, L.F. Raible, R.F. Miller. 

Played a hard game with the Colombey team but as they got three runs start, in 1st inning on Raymond we were unable to make up for it. Score 4-3

Our men played also and lost because pitcher went under Left beaucoup francs behind us when we came away. I played a poor game This war does some strange things A year ago I never expected to be playing Sunday baseball in France today.
