Heroism Wins an Iron Cross

Capt. Arthur Hunt Chute, in Leslie's
 valor and glory shine brightest when we behold them in sacrifices such as that of Gen. John Cough, V. C., who went from his place of safety far down the. line. to take comforts to his old regiment, and was Killed while on his mission of mercy.
 If where a high officer sacrifices himself for his men Is glorious, what shall we say of the deed of a Brit ish officer who offered himself to save his foe? During an attempted daylight raid on the part of the Germans, they were held up by a whitening ma chine gun fire and retired with great loss to their own trenches. One poor Hun who was terribly wounded, was fmpaled upon his own wire and he eyes of both armies. Finally tue sight of his suffering and his cries for help were too much for an Eng fish officer in the trenches opposite. Vaulting over the parapet he walked boldly across No Mans Land in the direct face of the foe; and lifting lis wounded enemy from the impaling wire. he carried him across the Hun parapet and down into his own trenches. When he arrived there a Ger man officer took an iron cross, which he wore on his own breast, and placed it on the breast of the Brave British officer. The firing on both sides ceased while he returned to his own trenches And looking on, both friend and foe alike knew that they had beheld tEe highest form of glory.

MOLLY TAXES BOYS
 FOR RIDE ON RAILS
Black, SIapnicka and Glaz- ner to Pitch Game Against
 ColIegians

The Barons went through two more grilling sweat-drills yesterday put ting in nearly two hours practice in each appearance at Rickwood Con- trsry to expectations. Jesse Altenberg failed to show up and Moley doesn't understand the delay, IS he had re- ceived a letter stating that the new gardener was on the way. It is more than likely that Altenberg will lift the latch-string sometime this forenoon.
 The same old seven and six pepper game was the favorite sport at practice yesterday and will continue to be the only means of warming up until more pitchers are secured for use in bat ting practice and in games between the regulars and yannigans In the after noon Bill Waldron was stationed at third base in place of Mcdonald, who went to town suffering with tooth ache Waldron. according to Moley, is one of the gamest and best throwing young third-sackers he has seen TOT sometime.
 Today the Barons will leave for Tus- caloosa, where they play one game this afternoon with the University of Ala hama team Moley will take 12 men along, leaving the others in charge of Capt Eddie Mcdonald, who plans to hold two workouts, as usual.
 Slapnicka, Black and GlaZner are the moundsmen that will make the trip. Bowman and Long are still little sore, especially the former, who hasn't been able to work this week. Reports from Tuscaloosa are to the effect that the collegians are hoping to trim our professionals, or at least to make it interesting to the finish.
 Following is Moley's batting order for todays game
 Waldron, third base.
 Southworth. right field
 Coombs, left field.
 Dernsen, first base.
 Clark, second base.
 Debus, shortstop.
 Purcell, center field.
 Patterson and Haworth catchers.
 Black, Glazner and Slapnicka, pitch CTS.
 For the University, Christovitch and Ross will twirl, with Lena" Stiles re- ceiving. Shackleford will hold down first; Red Brown. second. Joe SeweIl, short. and LoviclS Stevenson third base. In the outfield Capt. Daniel Boone, Francis Pratt and Rat Brown will chase flies.
