The Victoria Cross had its origin IN the Crmeau
War, and primarily intended to be conferred
upon junior commissioned officers and the rank

wounds nor any circumstance whatsoever car

Of signal bravery performed in the presence of the

Each Victoria Cross is made from bronze which
once formed part Of some Russian suns captured
during the Crimean War and although the medal
itself is ntrinscally worth only about fourpence

There are other commercial ammunition plants

the Krupp establishment in capacity. Can any OF

as well? Not to my knowledge. Can the Ameri-

Most certainly MOI. Therefore shortage of am
munition among all the bcllgerents IS more likely
to bring th;s war to an end than the lack OF either
food or money.

Dode Paskert Most Consistent
Performer in Adding Name
to Hospital List.

The year 1914 was peculiarly fruitful
n baseball injuries and mishaps. Some
Of them upset team chances for pen
nants. Others were confined to the per-
soaal discomfort Of the damaged player.
But the chapter of accidents probably
was more extensive and far-reaching
this ear than ever before.
1t is true that no single club ran into
az tough a streak of luck as did the
Cubs Of 1903, when that peerless ma
chine came within a razor's edge of be-

injury on the last day of the season
was. of course. the most spectacular
damage of the year. Smith broke a
leg in a game with Brooklyn. and was
cut of the worlds series, which. how
ever, had no appreciable effect on the
outcome Of that event.
Ty Cobb turned up a lot of trouble
by breaking thumb while humping a
butcher in Detroit, and took part in few
more than half the games OF the sched-

Even before the season opened, George
strained his side while sliding to second
in an exhibition game at Baltimore. AS
soon as he got back into the game he
twisted an ankle while sliding to the
plate in a game with the Giants. After
from this mischance, George
tried to stick one of his fingers through

minutes later the digit was in splints
