May 1, 1917 - The Chattanooga News (Chattanooga, Tennessee) - Military Training for Team
Guns for Lookouts Now
Plan of "Kid" Elberfeld
The Lookouts are to have full military training, if the plans of Manager Elberfeld and Sergt. William Myers, of the local marine recruiting station, are carried out.
Myers, besides being a past master in the art of marine drilling, is a baseball player of some merit and has been "working out" daily with the Lookouts while they are in Chattanooga.
He has played professional baseball with different teams during the summer months and his methods of "working out" are not amateurish.
Elberfeld made the request that the club be drilled; it is probable that when the players return from their next road trip. Andrews field will take on a military atmosphere.
