Private Joe Jact
Boxing Instructo
• • •
> Private Joe Jacobs, formerly one of
New York's foremost boxing promot
ers and managers, but now of the Di
visional Headquarters Company, Camp
1 Hancock, has made application to Dr.
1 Joseph E. Raycroft, chairman of the
- Training Camp Athletic Activities, for
his appointment as boxing instructor
of Camp Hancock.
Manager Jacobc is very well ac
. quainted with the boxing game, hav
ing been one of New York's most
formidable boxing promoters and
managers for the past seven years.
During that time, he has developed
such sterling performers as Dave
. Astey, the undefeated amateur ban
tamweight champion of the North,
■ Willie Astey. the hard-hliilng and ag
gressice New York bantam. Mickey
Dunn, Allie Nack and Walter Lau
rette.
Joe's one big idea is to develop a
boxing team, which will represent
Camp Hancock. The team is to con
sist of the champions of the various
classes. In order to pick this team,
Matchmaker Jacobs has arranged to
run a big boxing tournament at the
K. of C. arena, on the first Thursday
night in Augusta. The final victors
in each separate class will be declared
the champions. by very competent
judges, and will then be chosen for
the champion boxing team of Camp
Hancock.
I Jacobs will then endeavor to secure
I the permission of Col. Edwards, the
I commanding officer of Camp Hancock,
to allow him to use the dry reservoir,
which can accommodate 20,000 men.
in order to stage a monster boxing
carnival, between the champion box
ing team of Camp Hancock, and the
team which Camp Gordon, of Atlanta,
boasts so highly of. Moreover, if
given the permission of the Colonel,
Promoter Jacobs will arrange for just
such a boxing show at the reservoir
every month between the champions
of Camp Hancock and those of the
nearby camps.
With the aid of Mr. John Donohue,
secretary of the K. of C. war activ
ities of Camp Hancock, Joe is going to
endeavor to have some of the star
boxers of this country come on to
Camp Hancock and give the men some
expert exhibitions of the manly art
game. Included amongst those whom
Manager Jacobs expects to bring to
this ramp for a few bouts arc such
sterling performen? as Benny Leon
ard. Johnny Kilbane,* Fred Fulton,
Jack Dempsey. Dave Astey, Pal Moore,
Joe Lynch, Kid Williams and Pete
i Herman. As all of the above men
• tinned boxers are very intimate
friends of Joe’s, and .s they are fur-
I ther boxing at all the different train
ing camps, for the benefit of supply
| ing entertainment to Uncle Sam's boys
in the service, there is no doubt that
they \ '1 readily agree to come to
Camp Hancock and perform for the
men in such a great service as “Ma
chine Gunnery.”
Already the crack little matchmak
er has arranged for his own protege,
Dave Astey, to come on to Camp Han
cock for a couple nf weeks, meeting all
comers in the bantamweight division.
It will be remembered that Astey is
the boy who was scheduled to go to
Liverpool, England, where, on Sept.
2nd, he was to stack up against
Jimmy Wilde, the sensational English
bantam champion in a twenty-round
bout for the bantamweight champion
ship of the world. Joe had the articles
all signed for this match, and was re
ceiving for the services of his star bat
tler a guarantee of $2,000. three round
trip transportations and expenses,
when he heard the call of “Uncle Sam”
to enter the service, and therefore
called the bout off.
Trench and Camp ads. are reliable.

' SPIRITED BOXING
) I Snappy Soldier Scraps.:
' Monday night a big night at *‘Y” 78.
More excitement was shown at the boxing
and wrestling matches than has been pull
ed off here for some time. The crowd
was an unusually large one. It was hard
to keep the ones in front so that the ones
in the rear could see.
Several new faces were seen on the plat-
> form. The first bout was a snappy one.
I It was fought between Tim Conley of 39,
M.T.D. Co. and Art Wiltey of 45 Co. It
• was full of vi mfrom the beginning to
1 end. Art won by a small margin.
- The second bout was fought by A. C.
• Smith of the School Supply Co., and Nick
, Dimadimao of 38 Co. Smith was the
heavier, but the bout resulted in a draw.
r The last fight was R. E. Dale and
. Herman Esaterman. It lasted only one
three minute round. Dale decided that
he would wait until he was in better con-
’ dition. He will be back later.
’■ At this time, the wrestlers came out.
■ W. R. Kennedy and C. A. Selmyhn start-
3 ed the music rolling It resulted in a
, draw, but we want to see these two boys
) decide the game next Monday night/
• Next came was a hard battle between
. R. Debell of 154 M.T.D., n-d Kid Blankie
i Os 15 Company. You could not tell who
. was going to win. It was so exciting
that the ten minutes wore up before you
c could realize it. Neither was ablt to "put
r the other one’s shoulders to the mat.
■> Then came the little champion of the
camp. Carfl Liljekult. His opponent was
? Kid Kregg of 4S Company. Kid nut up
• a wonderful fight but was finally defeat
ed.
The last round was staged by Carl and
’ Frank Chopp of 46 Co.. M.T.D. Frank
was active and everybody will have to
’ say that he is a clever little wrestler.
This was a very exciting match and re
’ suited in a draw.
Remember, Buys, if you are a boxer or
f a wrestler be here next Monday night. If
, you want to see some good bouts be here
t too. In the meantime try t<, roust up
r some one that ran pm Carl Liliehult’.s
~ shoulders to the i:i:;t If you do, you
, will have to find a crackerjack. Carl is
" considered the champion of the camp ard
it will take a good man to deprive him
> of his tiles. it will do you good t > watch
- him wrestle. He don\ take any unfair
> means t<> throw' him opponent. He is al
i- ways smiling. In fact, f; know him is
> to like him. Yet the old boys from the
» grand old state of Wiserm in say thej’ arc
I going f" down him before they stop.
t That’s the spirit, keep it up.

9th Co. Wins From
■ 19th Co. by Score 3-0
A lively four-inning game nf baseball
' "as witnessed yesterday at Y 76 when the
j -th and 19th Co.’s met. The 9th Co.
r; : <-ored three runs in the first inning
. which gave them a good start over the
I crippled 19th Co., who more all suffer
ing from the effects of their Inst inoucla-
I tion they received the day before the
| game.
After the first inning the 19th Company
improved its fielding and batting and suc
ceeded in getting a f<w sen tiered hits, hut
failed to score and the g. nie ended 3 to
<» in favor of the 9th Co.
The 19th Co. challenge the 9th Co. for
another game and promises to have a
first-class team in the field at. that time.
Sports at Hut 231
Physical Director Crozier Is putting
up volley ball nets in the company
streets so that the. boys who are still
in quarantine may have some recrea
tion.
Just as soon as the boxing stand is
built a fine boxing program wtll be ar
ranged by Director Crozier every Wed
nesday night which is athletic night at
"231” several professional boxers are
among the new recruits and plenty of
matches will be arranged.
Carl Liljehult, one of the best wrest
lers in the business at 125 pounds, has
promised to take on any of the matt
men in camp. Those who have seen
him wrestle are of the opinion that he
is well capable to live up to his repu
tation.

| WHO NEEDS THE TESTAMENT?
• He was new to the army game and
from his appearance he had always
lived back in that part of
known as the "sticks." As he came
into the Y M. c A. hut his gaze rest
ed upon the pictures on the wall, the
movie screen and the numerous other
appurtenances. After a short period
he came up to the desk and noticed a
pile of New Testaments. He picked
one up, idly turned the leaves and
then seemed to lose himself in a. maze
of thought. Finally he. turned to the
secretary and in a. voice filled with
doubt, said. “Mister Secretary, how in
the h is a fellow going to send
one of these here testaments borne to
his mother?"

MEDCIAL DEPOT SONG.
Four monos the Medical Depot have
boon assigned to the Quartermaster
- and Ordnance Company Infirmary and
this is their song:
' The Medical Corps, the Medical Corps,
With pills and lots of cheer.
' The Medical Corps, the Medical Corps,
They haven’t any *?ar.
Thecavalry, the infantry, the corps of
engineers.
They must all have the Medical Corps
To carry them to the rear.
Badgers and Empires
In Friendly Rivalry
' Among the recent arrivals in the area
f <f the First. Group are many men from
3 New York and Wisconsin. Roth sides
have the earmarks for the making of a
j fine :addlery. and from them in due time
may 1•* expected a strong addition to
Uncle Sam's fighting forces. All of them
1 seem to take to their drill work like
I ducks to the water so that officers and
instructors will undoubtedly be able to
j get excellent results.
The first night those men were allow
ed to get out of their company streets in
large numbers they came to Y. M. A.
' No. and had a t-oasnn of delightful
fellowship and ecquaintance making.
Building Secretary Harry Curtis extended
tin- association’s welcome to all and ask
ed that they nne and all make the build
ing their rallying center, and assured
them that they would be sieved in the
best possible way with such facilities as
the association had at its command.
‘ 1 t was suggetod that It be found bow
many of the new men from the two
' states particularly mentioned were pres
) ent. :;<■ a showing of hands was asked;
first New York’s showing wa scalled for.
Hundred'- of Empire hands shot up quick
' l\. There were so many that the New
Yorker, felt so sure they were in the
f asccndon< v that they gave utterance to a
i veritable Tammany or some other sort
, of a veil, while the Radgers sat glumly
, but with determined purpose. Then the
r showing from Wisconsin was asked for;
cyclonic, almost, just like the west, the
men from the timber regions, from the
j lake cities, from the dairy farms and
from both the grain and hay sections,, re
spondect. giving Wisconsin the victory
with ••core of about five to three. Then
there \.-i • some applause, sure, enough.
The New Yorkers showed the fine sports-
I man spirit applauding the western
huskies as vigorously as the Badgers did
themselves. Now acquainted and feeling
fully at. homo, they joined in a big song
1 fest, in which there was no east, no west,
t no north, no south, just one big "AlJ
’ American” merry-makers. These fellows
, say tiny are going to keep up their
singing spirit, and practice until all Camp
, Hancock sits up and takes notice.

i The following was heard on a street
I car one very cold day in winter in a
> Canadi n city. At a corner the car
was boarded by a husky soldier in the
picturequse Highland uniform—the
kilts of which leave the knees bare.
On the car was a young dude still in
mufti, seated with his best girl. The
girl cast admiring glances at the at
tractively uniformed "kiltie,” much to
the displeasure of her slacker escort.
Ho ho endeavored to make fun of the
uniform by remarking, "I think that
outfit is most ridiculous. That fel
low’s knees look as if they were frozen.”
The kiltie, overhearing the comment,
glanced contemptuously at the dude’s
civilian clothes, then scornfully re
plied: "Well, young fellow, it is a sure
thing my knees aren't as cold as your
feet.” The slacker got off at the next
stop.
“Why did she marry aim?”
“So he’d be glad to enlist* ©to' hates
a slacker."
