THE RED CROSS SOCIETY.

In other columns of the Sentinel
we are printing much in regard to
the Red Cross Movement, but yet
there are many OF our readers who
have not and will not see and under
stand the working and urgent need
of this Society. Think of the man
who rushes forth to meet an armed
foe without the slightest interest in
mis- personal safety. He rushes amid
shot and smell without fear OF falter-
ing.
Here we recall the very striking
words of the young American poet
Alan Seger, who Joined the Foreign
Legion or france and fought in the
French army almost from the begin
ming of the world war until recently
when ne received mortal wounds in
a charge upon the village OF Belloy-
en-oanlerre. In letter to his mother
"a letter which some one has said
may live longer than his poetry
after exhorting her to be PROUD like
Spartan mother, in case he did not
return to her, and to regard it as her
contribution to a righteous cause,
also showing that ii 1t should fall
to her share to make such contri
button she would be in so far su.
perior to other women and should
be CORRESPONDENCE proud, he is
quoted as saying Death is nothing
terrible after all. 1t may mean some
thing more wonderful than life. 1t
cannot possibly mean anything worse
to. the good soldier"
Can you imagine the hand and
presence of a Red Cross nurse, the
services of Red Cross physician, the
sheltering of Red Cross hospital
and the transportation of Red Cross
ambulance to have been at the dis
posal of this soldier? He restored to
health and allowed to return to that
dear mother once again. That alone
would have been worth many times
the value of all our contributions say
ing nothing of the hundreds and
thousands of similar incidences Of
which could be given.
This and even more the Red Cross
stands for. To pay for medical aid
housing and administering this medi
cal treatment by a scientific hand tC
alleviate the sufferings of those who
have been so unfortunate as to have
fallen victim to the dreadful foe OF
the opposing enemy. Then If you
can't go, give.

APlea for Clear Base Ball.

Nashville, Tenn, June 2, 1917.
Mr.. Sporting Editor of The Nashville
Globe:
think the time is about ripe when
our home team should cut out their
dirty baseball and rotten umpiring
and give the public clean sport. OF
course there are plays made in games
that are very close, but such decision
hardly ever causes the spectators to
hiss the umpire. But such baseball
as Mr.. Stratton pulled off in the 7th
and Sth innings of the Indian game
Sunday, the 18th, did not show that
he was a real sportsman and a lover
of baseball Before the eyes of about
500 spectators Mr.. Stratton forgot
himself and thought he was in q
prize ring with Jess Willard when
he deliberately ran nito the Indian
Srd baseman and jammed both fists
into his chest. In any other league
game this player would have beer
banished from the field with So OF
$40 fine to play. Such playing as
that will not entice good visiting
teams to our city, but will kill the
sporting game. I have played on
some of the best teams in the city
and also know the game.
Yours obligingly,
M. ]. SMITH,
636 Wetmore street.

falsehood and meanness and fear
nothing except cowardice; to be gov

than by your disgusts; to covet moth

to see if the agents that Manager
Ellison had hired to fool the Black
Sox out made success of which
they truly did. He had that $4,000
machine out but Stratton's Black SoE
sure wore it out. Norman of the
Sox pitched his first game this season
and did fine work for his teammates,
hut was not we in midsummer form.
Not a score was made on him until
the sixth inning, when one error and
two loafed balls which went to the
center garden netted the Nationals >
runs. Then Stratton received Moor
man and finished the game. Web
ster was driven from the mound in
the third and Merret took his part
and pitched in big league style. The
