Newly Arrived Outfit Can Boast
of Some Excellent Entertainer#?Fast
Wrestling Bouts.
The recently arrived Fonrth engineers
displayed to the boys at I 102
that they can boast of some of the best
/material In camp as entertainers In
/their stunt night programs. With the
/ Y. hut packed to the doors and even
the rafters serving as a place of observation
they put on an entertainment
that was full of laughter and
at the same time displaying talent of
the first order.
Much credit Is due Chaplain Blake ey
of the engineers for his help In
making the program a success.
Bushell and Hall started the show
| by rendering a duet on their guitars
i which soon got the crowd in good
Vpirlts.
We next had the long and short,
otherwise known at Mutt and Jeff, in
the persons of Henderson of the Engineers
and "Spider" Kelly of the Forty-seventh
machine gnn battalion.
Henderson, who stands well over six
feet is probably the tallest man in
the camp.
Taylor and Morton, of the engineers,
cave an exhibition wrestling match
m which both displayed that they
were master of the game.
Under the able leadership of Sergeant
French several members of the
company , put en & pantomine called,
"Saw-Bones and Pull-em," staged in
* three scenes, and which as a fun producer
takes second place to none.
v The final offering of the engineers
, wan a three round boxing match between
Corporal Galbraith of Company
' C and Private Hansen of Company C.
No decision waFrendered.
;Congratulations are given to all of
the boys of the engineers who took
park and It is hoped that this will not
be the last entertainment that they
will stage while they are in camp.
- After the entertainment given by
s the engineers several boxing and
I wrestling matches were held.
1-. -Lieutenant Flitner of the engineers
' handled the bouts in a manner worthy
Of. a professional referee and kept
" the bouts lively throughout.
All of the bouts were three round
bouts and were of a fast nature. In
the first bout Norcross of the Seventh
machine gun battalion got a decision
oyer Garbled .of the Tenth machine
gun battalion.' The bout was onesided
throughout. "Kid Kay" ol
Company K, Forty-seventh infantry
. regiment challenged anyone In the
, house und^r 135 pounds to a three
.round bout. Young Digiralamo oi
-.the- Ninth machine gun battalion ac,
cepted the challenge. The bout was
> fast and both men fought hard for d
vflecision. Digiralamo was given the
~ r decision.
The next bout was an exhibition be.tween
Digrolamo and "Spider" KeljEfif.
No decision was rendered. Kelly
"challenges any man in the camp at
; either boxing or wrestling.
i ' The closing feature of the program
lwas a wrestling match between Angelo
and Tripp, both of the Seventh
machine gun battalion. They were
i lo wrestle 15 minutes for falls. Angelo
got the first fall in seven minutes.
Tripp made the second In six
BjSbfoutes. Tbe third fall was not
Blade.
A very pleasing feature of the eve-,'nlng
was the presence of the large
"number of officers In the audience and
*?Jt Is hoped that they will see fit to at^!lond
the "Stunt Nights" In the future
TjUld give encouragement to the boys
bK their activities.
^CHECKER TOURNEY FOR
SOLDIERS IS PLANNED
& , The checker tournament should
start before long, as the men have
,trbeen putting long hours in preparation
and study over the board. This
, new sport is bound to bring out a
I great many athletes formerly un}$imown
to the public. I am sure thai
ijttbe danger of^loss of limbs can be
( overcome oy me puanmK *= ?'
?(Qng game.
v Chaplain Ballentine, .of the Sixth
LMassachusetts infantry, ia a former
expert and we1 have his word thai
rtfcere la not much danger connected
'to this sport providing the men dc
not get too rough. There will be an
.'open tournament started as soon a>
We find the prizes to offer.

BASEBALL DAYS FOR
CAMP DRAW NEAF
Baseball is in the air?some men

fellows have actually been practicing
bunting. One good one dollai
baseball was lost in the deep mud recently

sports and if t^e fever continues wt
may hear of many more being lost.
Seriously speaking, there is a feeling
of longing en the part of "base
under way.
There will be company leagues, regimental
leagues, and a star camp teair
organized.
The "Y" physical directors an
stocking up with baseball goods anc

MUD AT CAMP GREENE
[ : WKESaOjAfes SCRAPE
Tift poet Erqerson .found some
beauty in mud?not so the fellows in
Camp Greene.
1 A large portion of the soldiers dally
program Is Just one scrape after an
other?scraping the mud off shoes.
There are some things in life that
"sticketh closer than a brother" and
one of them sure Is this Camp
: Greene mud.
But wait until the sunshines?then
the mud will dry up and the beautiful
southern breezes will blow all the
. mud away?away in your face as
; dust.
NEWS FROM COMPANY "G," FORTY
SEVENTH INFANTRY.
"Steve" and "Leonard" missed the
non-commissioned officers' school last
Friday night, and as a result will
spend a wek of evenings in the camp,
t Private Curry Is the mystery of the
company. It cannot be that he Is
worrying over his transfer, or could
I it be one of their "fair sex?"
Some day we'll have that much delayed
review.
The refusal of many of the "jitney
drivers" to take the boys of the Fortyseventh
from town to this camp has
: caused much comment It is the
s unanimous opinion of this company
that If they are willing to cater to
the trade of the soldier, from whom
they obtain their livelihood, they
t should be forced to drive to all camps
regardless of their location. Company
. G wishes to enter a strong protest
a'-ilnot (ha rilatlnrdnn thev arp m;ik -
in*. ' I
t Corporal Macken may be boss of the |
j "Stetson squad," but he has yet to /
, to learn how to play cribbage. Otherwise
he Is quite a nice fellow.
t Private Vail left for New York city |
5 for a seven-day visit with his people. |
Private Newman also left for the
sunny north last week.
Sergeant Graves still hears from I
Syracuse, but latest reports show
t Rochester leading the Held by a slight
margin. "Fickle gravy."
Private William Shemin left Tuesday
for a seven-day visit with his
mother in Bayonne, N. J.
When it comes to company agents,
i Privates James and Weikel are in a
J class by themselves.
9 These "coalless days" have no effect
on the soldier, which only goes to
, prove th^r there is a "silver lining to
every cloud," but Corporal Addonisio,
> who is in charge of the "special duty"
- squad, seems to experience some dilll1
culty in getting wood. Go out and get
it yourself, Louie,
t As far as U is possible to ascertain
i, there is no news this woek about Sergeant
Oldfleld or Private Morrison.
. but you never can tell what next week
will bring forth.
