I TRENCH > WTSICAL DIRECTORS EAGER TO MEET MEN Soldiers Urged to Get in Touch With Athletic Leaders atl Their Buildings. The reular army men Just coming] to Camp Greene should make a spec- | ial trip to their own brigade "Y" and get acquainted with the physical di- . rector. J nesc men. one in each building, are especially trained for this kind of work. They know their business, also Just how to impart their knowledge to others. Each man has one objective, and that is to serve the fellows in camp as far as possible in an athletic and friendly way. The "Y" physical director would like to know each regimental athletic director, every man in the many companies who is or has been interested in athletie or gymnastic work, and would also like to make the acquaintance of former association "gym" leaders. These points of contact will help greatly in the organization of an interesting athletic program for, the men. The physical directors of the varl ous "Y" are as foHows: "Y" No. 104. serving 47th infantry, I Carroll L. Bryant. "Y" No. 106, serving 5th and the 7th infantry, Geo. H. Ay law or th. _ "Y" No. 106, serving 60th, 39th and 58th infantry, Walter S. Williams. "Y" No. 107, serving North Dakota troops 163 and 164 N. Y. inf., -38th regular Inf. and California. Bakers. Robert S. Gourlie. "Y" No. 108. serving Wyoming troops. 2nd Reg. N. G. ammunition and supply trains, 2 Reg. and 30th Infantry. George H. Taylor. Each man is a "good fellow ? knows his story, and is ready to help every man to be a better man physically and morally. Now then.?this is your invitation; ?go shake hands with him. /Z * A I nut I 1G CUUinvitiv i AT Y. M. C. A- BUILDING The spirit of Christian fraternity and co-operation existing between the various religious organizations represented In array camps was evidenced at Camp Greene yesterday when Catholic services were held at three of the camp Y. M. C. A. buildings. Rev. R. R. Ranken, S. J., chaplain of the Forty-seventh Infantry, celebrated mass at Building 104 at 8 o'clock In the morning, and Rev. Gerald Treacy, S. J., chaplain of the Thirty-ninth Infantry, celebrated mass at Building 105 at the same hour, while Rev. F. J. Sheeran, chaplain of the Fifty-eighth infantry, at Building 106, said mass at 8:30 o'clock and conducted general services there at 9:30 o'clock. Three masses were celebrated at the Knights of Columbus building by Rev. William J. Stephenson. C. S. V., Catholic chaplain for the camp, at 6:30; by Rev. J. J. Casey, chaplain of the Fifty-ninth at 8:30 and Rev. M. J. Meehan, chaplain of the Sixtieth infantry, at 9:30 o'clock. At each of these masses the chaplains dwelt at length upon the necessity of a spirit of self-sacrifice and obedience. "E" COMPANY, 39TH, WINS BASEBALL CAME In what might be termed an exciting affair, the strong baseball team of Company E, of the 3?th infantry, won over the Company C team, of the same regiment, on last Saturday afternoon. The game was clean and errorless throughout The score was 6 to 5. Each team had one bad inning. For E company, the bad luck came in the first frame. For C company, the storm came in the second. Neither team did any more scoring until the ninth. when the E company outfit managed to put their sixth, and what proved to be the winning, run across. In the way of features, we would not fail to mention the work of the batteries of both teams. Especially would we mention the hurling of the E company pitcher, Comorowsky, who only allowed five safeties, and forced 14 of his opponents to take three healthies" and then retire to the bench. The E company aggregation are deBirous of arranging games with any of the other teams in the camp or with any team in the city of Charlotte. In making inquiries, write or see Sergeant V. M. Jenkins, of E company, 39th Infantry. '/ SUNDAY EVENING SERVICE AT BUILDING NO. 108 A very practical and helpful address was delivered Sunday evening, November 4th, by Rev. John W. Day. the religious work director at building No. 105. The subject of Mr. Day's address was "Loyalty." Mr. Day urged the soldiers to be loyal to their friends, themselves and to their God. Many of the soldiers remained after the service to thank Mr. Day for his helpful talk. VNP CAMP "SQUADS RKJHHNCS" FROM C CO- 39TH Company C now ban a glee club, composed of the following men: Corporals Radtke and Kriner and Privates Saegert, Gertlsser and Auerbach. This bunch rendered some real live ones on the way from Syracuse down here. It is expected that they will do likewise wnlle at Camp Greene. If anyone loses a liver saw. the only thing to do is to immediately go And Private Downie. It is rumored that this chap goes from kitchen to kitchen in search of such articles. How about it Downie? "Happy" Auerbach is the company, if not the regiment, "fat man." There is someimng lu who uig wuifou; ^ specimen, no matter what direction you go?there will be man for about ten feet aech way. Do any of the other companies dare contest this statement? Private Dave Hayducki certainly missed his calling when he Joined the army, according: to what his friends over in "C" have to say along this line. What It takes to use that crayon and brush, "Davy" seems to have it. Give him a stage and you've got a show already going. Can he entertain ? Oh, Boy! No mascot for Company "C." Private Katz fills the place like a professional. For some reason the fellows want to know what size shoes Private Bari bour wears. Some gunboats, those leather moccasins of his. Don't worry though, old man, so long as there is a thirty-nine there will be bull herds. Be brave. /. &( OFFICER'S APPRECIATION. I An officer to Physical Director Gourlie: "I want to tell you that I never had much use for the T. M. C. A. before coming: Into camp. Since arriving: here, your men have been kind to us In every way and have made us feel at hojne. That Is the thing; the home touch, and we appreciate it "I Just wrote to 'Dad' and told him that If ho had any money to grfve away, to subscribe to the army Y. M. C. A. campaign fund."

This reputation was '" \ lost, however, one afternoon last week I when "H" was asked to sing in the , ^gRgf concert. The best that spectators could make out there were about six . . n the company shooting forth the . mellow strands of music. The "H" fellows say though that they will -;rbt show up the other companies in the ( regiment yet. When it comes to the matt call* there la one squad down in 'H that , n is always on the Job when it comes to getting the sealed paper. And they get the funniest mail too?at times. ^jrewj The fellows are about to get things ?xed up now so that they can live at | home. The next question is "Where do we go from here?" The boys are enjoying, very much, the singing they are having in the afternoons. It won't be long until they will be good enough to sing in Purlin to make music for the kaiser. | COMPANY P, THIRTY-Nil*TH. We all like Camp Greene. ' ?
