Trench and camp. ([Admiral, Md.) 1917-1919, 1919-03-27
CAREY PUTS OVER A
FEW GOOD TRICKS
V Hut Stunt Night Includes Fine
Battle Royal.

There are twenty-three men lined
up for the try for goal" McDon-
nell, Besztarda, Alban, Wiedmer,
Wolfe and Hillman are the best, as all
got three goals in Ave trials. Now
all these get another crack as to who
will be the best in the final. Wolfe
gets the blue" Weidner the 'red" and
Besztarda the green" ribbons.
The strong arm" men DO not show
up as well in the Ginning" as on
last stunt night. Nevil pulls her for
IL. Moore, C. for ~; McCampbell tries
and gets 8; Cooper IL. and Howard s.
Nevil and Moore are willing to try
again to see who will get first place.
Both being tied, they are not able
to make as good showing as at 1rst.
Nevil gets first with 8, and Moore
second with 6.
Now we'll have the rope climbing
contest Several make trials, but
Slower, Howard and McCampbell are
the only ones to complete the climb
seconds, Slower comes next with
twenty seconds and Howard third
with twenty-five seconds.
Putting the Shot.
About twenty five take hand at
putting the shot," in which a big
medicine ball is used. Some hit the
benches some the stage, and some
even hit the rafters. Cooper and Nc
Donnell tie for first place ard put
over again. Cooper leads with II
feet 6 inches, and Mcdonnell gets 40
feet 4 inches, Some of the other con-
tenders are Fox. Burris, Saros, Antell,
Sehoyer and Besztarda.
The '1O0-yard dash" calls for eight
men, and the following respond:
Anterior, Stillman, Davis, Mazzitelli,
McCampbell, Weidner, Fox and Alban.
Anterior Is best "chewer" and Stillman
Is second by about two ''chews." Two
of the rag eaters" get so much Of the
string in their mouths that they choke
anu have to disgorge.
Blindfolded Battle Royal.
Now we have the most fun Of the
evening Only four men have the nerve
to take a hand In this biindfolded stuff.
The rounds are for one minute each
with one minute intermission. McDon-
mel, McCampbell, Stillman and KEEL
menson bid farewell to their friends in
the audience. and sent parting messages
to their LADY loves" and families al
home. Then the. masks are put on and
their eyes no longer see. They are LED
as though they are going to be the cen.
ter of attraction In an old-fashioned
execution bee" When the whistle
blows the "blind" men start. as they
suppose, at each other. But various
and many are their ways. One lands
on the "Y'' man In charge and forces
him out of the ring. Another "whacks'
the big corporal from the Motor Trans
port Corpse" Finally. things get 60
ing properly and the proper ones get
hit. The seconds surely do fly all right
and you never heard the like OF laugh
ing 1t is funny to see fellow swing
hard at a man and to miss him and
fall to the floor and just as he gets up
to have another swatter to swat him;
Then they go after each other until
some other fighter lands on both OF them
at the same time. Mere words will not
do Justice to the fun there Is to one
of these fights. If you want to see one
you will just have to come down 10
that the ones in the audience are the
ones who enjoy the fun.
Dart-Throwing for Prize.
The big prize for the performers Of
the evening Is awarded In somewhat
"carnivalized" fashion. large board
in which there are thirty-five holes Is
placed on the stage. 4HEOu6l SdSh AOAc
is a string and on one end OF the string
is a card. The card is pasted on front
of board On the other end of cord and
out of sight behind the board Is prize:
The big grand prize is also on one end OF
one of the cords The men throw three
darts from opposite side Of the stage.
The dart that hits card has the throw
ers name put on it. If no dart hits. then
the nearest card to a dart is taken.
After all the cards are taken they are
pulled off, one at a time, and the string
to each cut. The prize falls out from
a chute in the back and winner gets
This" There Is lots of fun in this game,
all right One fellow nearly gets a dart
stuck in his hand. 1t happens that the
last card drawn is the one connected
with the big grand prize. Kelmson Is
the happy winner Of this box Of candy.
Next we have a guessing contest for
all soldiers in the audience. The win
ner is to guess how many pieces OF
candy are in the second big box OF
candy.
There are several close guesses, but
Stillman Is the lucky one. He guesses
flfcy-two, which is right. The winners
in each of these events were able to get
