Visitors at the Club House
On Saturday and Sunday we had the pleasure of greeting a few of our returned boys from thc Rainbow and 77th Divisions. The Rainbow boys promised, lots of them, that when they returned if they were sent back to Cniap Mills they would visit us again within twenty-four hours. They were sent to Camp Merritt instead, but three score or more of them took the day off and visited their friends and the Club on Sunday.
Among these were three Alabama boys whom the writer met Sunday af¬ ternoon, and they were as much in¬ terested in talking about Lieutenant Harold Brown ¦as in anything that we got them talking about. As one of th^m  remarked:  "He surely am one

whenever he saw yoa, and yea can bet we took his orders without any questions." They were mighty proud, evidently, that Lieutenant Brown in¬ sists on going back to Alabama with the outfit to which he has been at¬ tached since last July, aud remaining with them until they are mustered out of service.
In the morning we met three boys from the 305th, real Long Island boys, who had stopped in our Club on their way home for a visit. They were Thomas A. Smith, Machine Gun Com¬ pany 305th, of Patchogue. Mr. Smith has been recommended for a Disting¬ uished Service Cross, and also two ad¬ ditional citations. Mr. Smith did not speak much about this, but he did tell us that Lester Bedell of Freeport, with whom he was well acquainted, had also been given a citation for bravery.
With him were W. T. Rogers, also of Patchogue, of Company G, 305th Infantry and Daniel Havens of the same company, from Center Moriches.
Like all the other boys, without ex¬ ception, they said they would much rather go home than to wait around for a week for the privilege of pa¬ rading the streete of New York with heavy marching equipment.
Entertainment Committee
An unusually large crowd atte ided the baiti dance on Saturday night. The dance room was decorated w'th traw| everybody had an apple. The musicians were dressed as farmers.

The Old Ball  Players
(From S. W.

satisfaction that the deed is not genuine instrument. "The defend¬ ant RandaU" says the court, "is n'> party to the fraud. He was evident¬ ly imposed upon by the carelessness or otherwise of the lawyer who ob¬ tained the conveyance. The Notary who took the acknowledgm.ente wa^, too credulous and careless when the
Carties who executed the deed were rought before him, and evidently did not understand the duties of his office."
The lawyer who obtained'the deed to clear the title was a Mr. Cothren, deceased. The notary referred to was Osboume H. McKee who was a witness for the defendant at the trial held laat week at Mineola.
The names of those who appeared as grantors in the alleged fraudu¬ lent deed are: Thomas Carman, Mary Carman his wife, Emma Car¬ man, widow of John Carman, Henry Carman and Frances Carman, his wife; Cornelius Carman and Susie Camian his wife, Grace Jaggs and Seymour Smith.
The tract which waa under dispute is bounded on the north by Brook- side Avenue and was formcriv known as the Alpine property.
Thomas R. Fay, of Mineola, repre¬ sented the plaintiffs in the j^tion. It is not exactly clear as to what status the householders or lot owners on thc property would have in the event that the new ownera of the tract seek to ejfct them frtm t>}e premises.
