SAVING THE WOUNDED
Red Gross Is Doing Heroic Work
in France.
Georgia Soldier Says, "They All Work
cd Like Dogs in That Hell
Out There"

WashingtOn.- .-"Tost the nerve of
those Americans" evidently was thc
order given to tho German soldiers
facing the sector held by our boys in
France. and gas shells and all cther
methods We're uscd. Completely re-
pulsed as the Germans We're, the test
must have been anything but reassur-
ing TO them!
,5,,sA correspondent talked with some
of the American soldiers Wdilnded in
the attack. One youth, whose home is
in Savannah, Ga. and who looked to
be not more than eighteen years old,
made the following highly compliment
tary reference TO the American Red
Cross stretRher-bcarers and ambulance
drivers:
''I've sure got to hand if to those
men With the Red Cross on their arms.
They all worked like dogs in that hell
out there. They seemed TO have but
one idea--to do their duty-and appar-
emily cared nothing for their own lives
while doing if. They were game right
TO the core"
In this connection It may be said
that thrre Hrc a certain number OF
men who wear the Rcd Cross whose
names are on the casualty list. If any
ono has thought that a Red Cross
worker goes ont on a battlefield only af-
ter the firing has ceashd and brings in
the wounded, this statement by 4 sol
der will correct the wrong impression.
Stretcher-bearcrs work under fire-and
the Germans have not hesitatcd to fire
upon Red Cross workers.
The knowledge that the Red Cross
workers will be at his side almost as
quickly as he falls wounded, to take
him TO tho first-aid station and subse-
quently to the hospitals, has given
great comfort tc the American troops.

BIG LEAGUES
More Than One Axe Will be Present
When Magnates Get Together,
January IS, In New

[By H. C.. Hamilton, United Press

[By H. C. Hamilton, United Press
| Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Dec. More than one
axe will be present at the joint meet
ing of big league magnates, probably
to be held in New York Jan, Is, ac'
cording to present indications.
And they will not all be present for
grinding purposes, either. Ban John
son has one he is ~reserving for spec
ial use on Harry Frazee, while Frazee
has one made especially for JChnson's
neck.
The minor leagues are going to be
in on what fence building takes place.
Sentiment is SO strong for a oneman
rational commission, that it is gener-
ally recognized the result will be close.
even with Ban Johnson's influence
thrown to the side Of the old three
headed supreme court.
If the National leaguers and that
section of the American league which
favors a change, win the fight, the mi
nors will probably have a great deal
to saw regarding the commissioner and
his powers AS matters now stand the
minor leagues are allowed a voice in
the commission when a minor league
is involved.
The president of the Interstate
league and the secretary Of the nation
al association of professional baseball
leagues, each has a vote, which in
cases of this kind, gives the present
commission five members. Johnson's
gradually crumbling hold on the mag
mates of his own league and the undis-
prted antagonism OF the National
league made it practically certain that
some change will be effected for tho
National feels keenly the affair which
developed over the recent Perry case,
resulted in the commissions
awarding of the player to Boston and
the subsequent refusal of Johnson and
the Philadelphia Athletics to accept
the award. This is the main reason for
the battle to supplant the three Pres
ent commissioners with one man.
