GOLD CORD A WAR PERIL
Heavy Losses of Officers in European
War Caused by Badges of
Rank.

Paris.-One Of the earliest lessons
Of the war was that of the danger to
officers in allowing them to wear
badges of their rank, gold cord around
their coat sleeves, gold decorations
on their headgear, etc., which marked
them out to the enemy's picked shots
and resulted in unnecessary and
avoidable losses among them. This
lesson was learned, and now it has be-
come so difficult at the front to iden
tify an officer that failure to salute
is overlooked on this ground.
There seems, however, chance that
this danger is being revived by the
regulations making the wearing OF
chevrons obligatory. These chevrons
are in the form of an inverted V and
are worn on the right arm between
the elbow and shoulder to denote that
the wearer has been wounded, and on
the left to show the length Of time
he has been at the front, one showing
one year of active service, two for Is
months. They are worn in all sorts
Of material and colors, officers wear
ing them in gold and silver. Wher
worn on leave or during convalescence
their visibility is a good point, but al
the front they draw upon their wear
ers the same danger that badges OF
rank formerly did.

to cast an ominous look at the umpire,
thereby conveying the impression that
he had been cheated.

KNOTTY POINT ABUSES
Very Serious Situation to Aus
traIian Baseball Fans.
Clipping From Sydney Paper Pub
Iished for Benefit of American
Bugs-Somebody Pulled an
Awful Bone Play.

Doubtless this will be amusing to
fans in America, but it seems to be
very serious situation to the fans OF
Australia. It is what correspond
ent from Sydney, Australia, terms
"knotty point" and he asks what the
decision would be in 1.-THE American
game" He furnishes clipping from
Sydney newspaper in order that
the problem may be clearly understood
just as it appeared in the Sydney pa
per, for the benefit of American fans,
says Sporting News. Whatever the
meeting of umpires decides, the deci-
sion of fans in this country will be
that Sellars pulled an awful bone when
he left his base just because some
body cried foul" But who would
have believed the Australians were up
to such tricks-perhaps it was a
stray American in the game that did it.
But to the 'knOtty point" Here it
is as outlined in the Sydney clipping:
"a mild sensation was caused at
the decentralization Victoria)
game, arising out of the decision of
the umpire (Mr w. Bowes) in giving
Sellars (HawthOrn) out. 1t appears
that the Hawthorn batsman hit the
ball into the left field-a runner scOr-
ING. Sellars crossed first base.
'While he was midway between first
ana second base one of the fieldsmen
called FOUL whereupon Sellars i'm

"The ball was returned to the pitch
or, and Mackay Captain of Rich
mond), running to first base. appealed
20 the umpire.
Though the Hawthorn batter dis
sented with the decision, he had no op-
lion but to retire. However, he asked:
How was 1 given outY and there the
trouble starts, for the umpire ex-
pressed a certain amount of diffidence,
as he was unable to particularize the
rule, remarking: You are out; but
n the moment I cannot point out the
rule to you
"Sellars, in support Of his argu-
ments, states that the call of foul was
unfair, inasmuch as the ball was not
outside the recognized territory; that
he was not advised by the umpire or
his coaches as to whether the ball was
foul or not, and that 1t cannot be
shown under what rule he was given
out.
"There is, however, diversity of
opinion on this matter, and the views
advanced by Sellars are by no means
shared by the general body Of play.
ers, who are of the opinion that the
Hawthorn player was correctly given
out. In view Of the dissatisfaction
expressed the question will be fully
debated at the next meeting Of the
Umpires' association"

MANY HITS WITHOUT SCORING
Pirates Made Three Triples, Single,
and TWO Passes Without Count
ing d Run.

rs it possible" asks a Joliet, ILL.,,
fan, "for a team to make three triples,
a single, and get two bases on balls in
one inning and then fail to score a
run?'
Not only is it possible, but such an
incident actually happened back in
1892.
The Pirates were playing the Cubs
in Pittsburgh, with Pittsburgh at bat.
The first three Pirates tripled. Two
died trying to stretch their drives to
homers. Then came the two passes,
filling the bases. The next batter
drove the ball along the third base
line. 1t hit the Pirate runner coming
in and he was out under the "hit-by-
batted-ball" rule. The batter, however,
officially was credited with d single.

how apt he Is to be extremely jealous
of that work. It relates how two
street sweepers were discussing the
merits Of a deceased member Of their
craft.

in an effort Of praise.
EYES," said the other, slowly, "he
was that. But now that he's gone,
Hank, don't you think he was just a
little weak around the lamp posts?"
There should be asterisks or some
thing here, because the scene shifts
suddenly to somewhere in Mexico"
and those who follow this narration
find themselves on the aviation feld
at the edge of headquarters camp, the
day q relief aeroplane is expected to
arrive. Her starting point is a mill
tary secret, but it is sufficient to say
that she would complete journey of
$50 miles by the time she glided to the
ground at this camp.
Finally, far over the mountain
range, the machine was sighted. The
aviator was having rough time OF it,
caught in the swirls and eddieS that
suck up out of the rough mountain
country. Then the machine fought
clear and lowered over the field, ap-
parently seeking place to alight. FL
nally the machine made sudden
swoop, struck the toughest part of the
field, bumped badly, skidded and tip
ped, but finally righted itself and
rolled to a standstill.
How They Were Greeted.
The aviator assigned to headquar-
tiers strolled leisurely out to greet the
newcomer. They reached the machine
as he and the observer were climbing
stifly from their seats and unbuttOn-
ing leather jackets. One felt that it
was a moment in which these casual
young tempters of destruction might
relax a bit. In France, one imagined,
there might be an embrace, at least.
Probably q slight peck on the cheek.
Jake had really shown that he was
mighty handy man with the brush.
But did they relax? Here is what
happened?
Hello" said the headquarters avia-
tor.
"Howdy," replied the visiting pilot.
There followed keen survey Of the
visiting machine.

quarters aviator.
The visitor said nothing, but peeled
off his jacket and picked up the mail
bag.
How long did it take you to make
the trip?" asked the headquarters
flier.
Exactly an hour and half" stated
the visitor, somewhat proudly.
1--WE did it in an hour and twenty
eight minutes" returned the headQuar-
tiers aviator.
"Of course we lost lot of time in

But you had a stiff wind behind
