This little grim comedy is told by
correspondent of the London News:
II heard of an incident which is said
to have occurred when the British
boats were busy picking up German
survivors of the fight in the blight Of
Helgoland A German officer was
seen swimming; a line was thrown to
him, and he was helped on board, but
his first action was to spit in the face
of the British officer in charge.

the German overheard, and another
drowning German among the many
within the boats reach was helped

Aug. 26. 1t says:
"An officer told me it was a terrible
day. The German forces assailed the
British position not only with determi-
nation, but with what can only justly
call ferocity.
mo doubt the German general staff
were of the opinion that the British
force could not stand before an attack
by an enemy twice as strong in num-
bers and more so in artillery. It was
really the first occasion in history on
which battle had taken place between
German and a British army, and I
think when we can read it's story as
we can that of Waterloo it will be
found that the battle, in which twice
as many men were engaged as at Wa

Shakeup in Batting Order.
Manager Richards today shook up
the batting order of the Arsons in an
effort to make the teams batting more
productive Of runs. The team has been
securing hits sufficient to win games
but the difficulty has been that the
hits have been so scattered that they
have been without effect, and batters
frequently fail in the pinches. The
new batting order follows:
Delaney, second base; Harvey, short
stop; Foster, first base; Jude, center
field: Richards, third base; Seibert,
left field; Andreen catch; Shook, right
field; Richardson, pitch.
Delaney, who is sure hitter, is
made lead-of man, with Harvey. who
is proficient in drawing passes and in
sacrificing, to follow. and Foster, who
is usually sure in pinches. as third in
the list. Jude is placed as clean up
man.
