Private II. C. Kaufman says that!
there is no doubt that we are ground
mechanics, as he saw at least 1,000
picks and shovels one of our warehouses.
and we have also done con- 1
siderable manufacturing on the roads ,
here since we arrived.
Bill Secure says the rumble of a
freight train is music to the ear.:
* Cheer up, Rill!

COMPANY G, 39TII INFANTRY. I
The boys in Company G are surely
proud of their new company street,
as it makes it very nice for them to j
go to Liberty park.
We surely 'have got to hand it to
our tlrst and second squads when
there is a tire. They are already on I
their feet when the alarm goes off. I
Corporal Freer will surely get rich1
in a few months if Tic keeps on drawing
what he drew the last pay day.j
What are you going to do with all of
that money, corporal? Drawing two
cents a month is some payroll, as I
see it.
The boys in the company were certainly
surprised when they found that
there was someone who could "sling
the bull." So we've got to hand it to
Private Pugh for doing the job neatly.
We understand that Private Pugh was
a preacher in his day. But it's too
bad. Old Boy, you are in the army
now. He surely had the' boys guessing
when he preached to them the
other niirht. Keen it up, boy, you
will be a real hon'est-to-Gqd preacher
when you get out of this army.
Pretty soft for those fellows who
are quarantined on account of spinal
meningitis. They say that it is the
first* time that they had a few days
off. and they say that they needed
it.
ATHLETES OF TWO \
REGIMENTS MATCHED
The Thirty-ninth and Forty-seventh
regiments put on another good athleticprogram
it "Y" building 103 on Monday
evening. These athletic nights
are coming to be a feature of entertainment
in camp that affords much
pleasure.'
Private Ware, Company F. 47th. and
Private Merenbaek, of the 47th, started
the evenings program by wrestling
for 10 minutes to a draw. It proved
a good opener itnd we were pleased
to see th enien enjoy a good fast bout.
Private Wright. Supply company.
3Dth. and Corporal Bridge. Company
H. 47th, did a fast bit of work and
in one minute Wriaht was on his back.
Ledergerber, Company M, 39th. took
his place and In four minutes Bridge
was again on top and was given a
good hand.
The best of the evening was between
O.I M. Lee, Headquarters company,
39th, and McGhan. Company C.
39th. both men know the game and
for 10 minutes they sure, did use all
they knew, first one, then the other.
bQth men as quick as could be and
no one could pick a winner. McGhan
had a little on Lee in weight, but the
men were very evenly matched. Lee
and Schultz bout was posponcd again,
as Shultz's arifi is still sore.
When boxing came to its turn Barry,
Company I, 39th, and Lattera, Company
M, 47th, took places and then
there took place a bout as never seen
but few times in the same place. Latterra
started with a great spirit and
for a few minutes looked very good,
but we never can tell, for the third
round bell all but saved Latterra.
Barry took things In his hands and
for a few blows we thought we would
carry Latterra ofT in a stretcher. Yes.
it was good, and the crowd sure went
crazy, all having a fit and seeing who
could make the most noise.
Peters, Company F, 47th, and "Bill"
Sprout, Co. M, 47th, did a neat Job,
both men went at it easy but 8prout
is a bad man and it takes a good
man to keep from meeting a hard
on not many men like to be the one
to take his jabs.
We are pleased to state that the
athletic field for the 39th is completed
and is ready for use. Mr. Foster
"and Lieut. Weller have been at work
on the prbject for some time. The
men should soon be in trim for the
battle and sure will make use of these
new things. ' ^ ^ '
