A Pro Baseballer that was not picked up in the current season, and as such is semi retired from baseball. Lived the good life when he was playing and getting paid, so has little to show from his baseball career. Lives in a small apartment. The apartment building has a land lady and a single phone.

When he needs photos taken for a story he calls on Jimmy. (Char named after Cary Grant. Archie being Grant's real first name.

Dr Nathan "Doc" Hawkes - (b early 1880's in Boston, current age late 30's) A Doctor of Medicine, during the Great War served as a field medic in the same unit as Jimmy, Geno and Nick. While he could have served behind the lines in a field hospital, Doc (as he became known as in the unit) felt his skills could be put to better use if he was there where the fighting was occurring so as he could help those wounded immediately and hopefully save more lives. He was not above using his service revolver when the need arised. Since the war he has his own practice in Boston where he both sees patients at his practice as well as making house calls. Doc also assists Gino on the side supplying medical attention when needed.

Notable Features: Very good at getting people to agree to his point of view, he has an interest in the cultures of other people. A very stable individual.
