Here Is Company 6.
Trench and Camp:
Private Louis Brown (better known
as Brownie) will be one of the headliners
in the coming minstrel show
to be held shortly. Brownie has been
on the stage for the past seven years,
playing in all the leading vaudeville
houses throughout the country.
Corporal Joe Martone who has defeated
some of the leading boxes In
the last, including K. O. Eggers, Eddie
O. Keefe and Joe Mooney, challenges
anyone in camp at 125 pounds.
Private Joe Schneider certainly can
put away the feed. S nee he has been ]
back with his company he has gone up |
! for three portions at every meal. He
I received three boxes of chocolates !
I this week from New York. You know j
I ne s a Dig unrer. wonder wtio his I

COMPANY EDITOR. !
Co. 10 Baseball (lame.
Company No. 19 is the livest outfit !
in the camp and has won seven games :
and lost none and claims the cham- I
pionship of Campe Greene. Company
19 is supported by a very loyal Jtggrc- [
gation of rooters and Base hospital
No. 92 will sure have to go at their
best to beat this outfit as Company.
19 claims such stars as Lemkuhl.'
Spungler, Captain Novak. Messner.!
which certainly is a hard-vtprkiqg,
quartet.
The last victim of Company 19 last
week was Company 15 by the score of'
5 to 3. 1
The feature of today's game was i
the pitching and home run of Lem
kuhl, the all around Dlaying of Captain
Novak, the juggling one-handed
s.ats.v. n* Snanirlor the beautiful back I
stopping of that hard-working catch- j
er. Mossner.
Company II to Front.
We have read in song and story I
the wonderful accomplishments and
traits of Companies C and 9, and
especially Company 9, for It was part I
of this company that formed the old :
10th company, one of our closest)
neighbors, and knowing them as well
as we do, we feel as though we can j
walk all over them in athletics, music, i
stunts, and?well in fact anything j
they want to bring un.
We have a Jazz band, a violinist unexcelled.
a quartet that when it sings,
in the words of long ago. really "hath :
charms to soothe the savage beast."
We also have a man who lets you
break big rocks cn h*3 chest with a
sledge-hammer, who gets out of any
German barbed wire entanglement,
or any system of ropes you might
weave or tie around his body, a boxer
who challenges any one In recruit |
Camp 4. and who has won his title}
\ in this profession long ago.
We have a landscape artist and |
; card writer. It was very evident we ,
had the best lan'icape artist in camp
by the insignia in front of our mess |
, hall before tty? rain washed it away. J
i And this boy in., a wonder in doing,
i fancy scribbling on. cards. Wc invito
j you to call around, and get film to i
. "show you."
! In speaking of athletics, wc are
i unrivalled in ball teams. Only last
J Thursday we beat the champions of'
i Recruit camp 4. and are anxious to j
j get up with "our class" and get a j
j game with the Base hospital team. |
In the- regimental band we have i
four musicians; two of them make'
I the biggest" noise in the band, be- j
ing none other than the bass drum
