Page Four 41 THE CUB 4: GROUP FOUR WINS IN SMOKER BY DEFEATING GROUP EIGHT ...,..... With the booming voice of Mickey Farrell, C. T. C., blaring out across the quarter-deck, the second of a series of inter-divisional smokers got underway on 28 April with Group IV, composed of the 7th and F Divisions, meeting and conquering Group VIII, made up of men from the R and PHS Divi- sions, by a score of 19 to 8. After an exhibition of wrestling in which Whitey Young of the E Di- vision ,scored a win over Yagle of time '7th D'vi.sion, the iirst of the boxing bouts came up bringing Orr of Group IV a decisive victory over Six of Group VIII. Both men in this match were as game as has been seen with Orr having the edge at all times. The next bout saw Agee, one of our scrapping mess attendants fighting for Grafip VIII. 101.1 2, vary r-Inse decision to Bennett of Group IV. Both of these men were fighting very hard at all times and both were plenty willing to get in and mix it up. Simmons, lighting for Group VIII, started his fight with a bang and led most of the way to garner a win from Jenkins of Group IV. Both men in this bout did plenty of heavy punch- ing but Simmons got an early lead and held it through the course of the three rounds. The next and last oiiicial fight on the program gave Waldron of Group IV a very close win over Grant, another of our iighting colored boys who was mixing it up for Group VIII. There 'ras considerable dissention among the spectators over the decision in this match: plenty of them thinking that it should have been declared a draw, but, as always, the judges' decision hc-lds, so the comments soon fi .ed away. Another exhibition bout next took the center of interest with Markham of the E Division and Swain of the S Division mixing it up in a slugfest that came out in a draw. In this last smoker Group VIII de- faulted two of their fights while Group IV defaulted only one. There were no official wrestling bouts on the after- noon's program. As is usual with the crew of the CALIFORNIA the highest degree of sportsmanship was shown throughout the matches. Another of these entertaining after- noons will be provided wnile we are at Pearl Harbor, and we might possi- bly have two or three. While it is not ' . 1 . . f f f f .

According to the Naval Reserve Act of 28 February, 1925, Sec. 23, he except when on active duty, shall be paid at the rate of one-half of the base pay he is receiving at the time of transfer . This amounts to 86300. 2. According to the same act, he shall be paid one-half of the base pay of his rating plus all permanent additions thereto, and the allowances to which enlisted men of the same rating are entitled on retirement after thirty years' naval service. This will total 8119.70 for a chief. 3. Yes, if he has a mark of not less than 95 percent for 20 years, but this is not added until after 30 years, amounts to 10 percent. 4. Yes, by 15.75. According to the Joint Service Pay Act of June 10, 1922, Sec. 10, Retired enlisted men are not deprived by this act of the allowances of 9.50 per month in lieu of rations and clothing, and of 56.25 per month in lieu of quarters, fuel, and light, which were provided for retired enlisted men by act of March 2, 190'l '. possible to assemble the whole crew on the quarter-deck for these smokers with any degree of comfort, it is hoped that we may continue to see the large group of interested spectators. THE SEA-GOING SECOND l-Q1-. When the U. S. S. CALIFORNIA was built in 1921, the high naval officials realized that wherever the port fore- castle went the rest of the ship would have to follow, so for the good of the ship and the naval service they gave this honored portion to the Second Division. It's too bad but the rest of the ship will never be able to catch up with it. During the short intervals that W. W. Johnston, B. M. 2c., can spare from yarn spinning, he ably keeps this part of the ship in trim condition, from the voids deep down under to the eyes of the ship. Turret II, under the guiding hand of Chief Turret Captain C.J. Farrell. is known as the high turret. This designation has come from years of standing highest in turret competition and general excellence. The Second Division is a happy divi- sion. When there is work to be done. all hands turn-to without a growl. Of course it is not quite Paradise, for we have our gripes. such as the Crews Washroom lwe get mad when We can't keep it closed all dayi. and the Anchor Windlass, the greatest. undrilled oil- neld in the United States. But as a whole mot a fewi we like it, and to the great majority it is home.
