AUBURN NINE WILL. PLAY TWELVE GAMES
D0nahue Has Tough Job in Building Tiger Team Out
 of Material Available

Auburn, March 9.-(Special.) )-With the rising of the temperature, baseball sap has been rising around the Auburn plains and few days ago Mike Do;a- hue issued his first call for baseball ma terial. About 50 stalwart athletics have been coming out every evening since the first call, but even at that the crafty Irishman has job on his hands that would jar fear into the heart of less experienced man.
 The ravages of war have hit the base ball squad mere severely than they did last years football team Only two let ter men are back and while they are both good, they are a mighty small nu- cleus to form squad of nine around to win championship. Moon" Duccte will do the receiving as last year, but 1t looks like Pete Bonner will be taken from the outfield, where he played won derful ball last year to fill the vacancy left by Griffin at first base. The rest of Coach Donahues material must come from class baseball teams and from few scrubs of last year and freshmen. At present good infield is being shaped. but the pitching staff is still a problem to the Orange and Blue coach. Burt Tiles sub of last year, and Pat Will son look to be the best bets at present. with few likely freshmen lurking in the dark. With all these dark horses, the little IrishnSan will no doubt get to- gether nine that will stand high in the ranking.
 A tough schedule has been prepared which will consist of the best college hines in the south. It appears as below: March 29. Georgia in Athens; March 3O Georgia in Athens; April 5, Mercer in Auburn; April 6, Mercer in Auburn; April 12, Tech In Auburn; April 13 Tech in Auburn; April 19, Tech in Atlanta; April 20, Tech in Atlanta; April 26. Mer- cer in Macon; April 27, Mercer in Macon; May 3. Georgia in Auburn: May 4. Geor- gia in Auburn.

|CH|CKS LUCKY IN DRAFT LOTTERY
Cy Barger's Club Looks Stronger Than for Sev-
 eral Years Past

Memphis. March 9.-During these days player in respect to baseball and the war, officials of the Memphis club are extremely fortunate in their efforts to strengthen the Chickasaws for the 1918 Southern league campaign.
 Of the nine new players secured by the Memphis club only three are likely to be lost in the next army draft call. The three subject to call in Class A are Frank Edgington, first baseman, drafted from Grand Rapids, of the Central league, Hobbs, shortstop drafted from Dayton, of the Central league; and Sam Ross, left-handed pitcher, secured through the Yankees and with Newark last season. Both Hobbs and Edgington hit over 300 last season and were re- sarded among the stars of the Central league.
 The other six new Tribesmen who are not in Class A of the draft are:
 Bubbles Hargrave, catcher last season with Kansas City; Angel Aragon, third baseman last season with Toledo. but secured by Memphis from the Yankees; Dixie Carroll outfielder, drafted from Shreveport of the Texas league. Carroll last season hit over .300 Bankston, out fielder, last season with Richmond, put secured by the Chicks from the Yam kees. Bankston also hit 300 last season. Luke Nelson, right-handed pitcher. drafted by Memphis from Peoria of the Central league. E. Wilson, left-handed pitcher of Illmo, Mo, who played semi pro. baseball last summer. Wilson Is zo years old, over feet tall and weighs around 2O0 pounds.
 Cy Barger, chief of the tribe, arrived here Wednesday and staked camp for the summer. About the biggest task that confronts the chieftain is filling the first-base job. George Beall, who played first for the Chicks last season, is Tn the next draft call, and, according to a recent letter from Beall, he expects to be called. Edgington secured to fill Bealls place in the event George didn't return, Is in the same fix as Beall. However, Cy states that he has par of first sackers in view who played in the International league last season. and that he Is not the least bit worried if he loses both Beall and EdginSton.
 Of last seasons pit9hing staff, which includes Barger, Vance, Blodgett, Prieste Fentress and McColl, all Will probably be back but Fentress and Mc- Coll. McColl was the property of the Toledo club and it Is stated will not be returned to the Chicks. Fentress is m Class A of the draft. It is stated that several major league scouts had their eye on Nelson last season, but the Mem- phis club beat them to the youngster. Nelson is coal miner.
 Leonard ,Dobard, who played short for the Chicks last season, it is stated, has threatened to retire from the game, but the Memphis officials are not taking Do- bard's threat seriously.

Why Russian Women Fight

An American woman who spent over a fortnight with the women's bat talion of death in Russia tells in the Womans Rome Companion what led them to volunteer. She says:
 Many had joined the regiment be- cause they sincerely believed that the honor. and even the existence. of Rus sia were at stake and that nothing but great human sacrifice could save her.
 Some. like Bachkarova. in the days of the Siberian village, had simply como to the point where anything was better than the dreary drudgery and the drearier waiting of life as they lived 1t.
 Personal troubles had driven some of them out of their homes and on to the battle line. One girl. Japanese. said tragically when I asked her req son for joining: My reasons are so many that I would rather not tell them
 "There was a Cossaclx girl from the Ural mountains. IS years old, with soft. brown questioning eyes and deep. rich color tinting her dark cheeks. Her father and two brothers had been killed early in the war. Soon after, her mother, who was a nurse. had died from tho effects of German bomb thrown upon tho hospital where she was working. She was absolutely alone in tho world.
 "'what else is left for mer she asked with a pathetic droop to her strong young shoulders.
 Two girls, Red Cross nurses, who had already been decorated four or five times for service to their coun- try. said they had seen too many brave men suffer and die for Russia tn be willing to see her sacrificed now on the Kaiser's altar,
 "one serious looking woman who took no part in any of our frivoiities oar ried a photograph In her knit bag. It was the picture of her husband who Is prisoner in Austria small boy on his lap. The child had died the week before the regiment was formed and there were other things that robbed danger of all its sting for her.
 On a cord around each girls neck was a colleo ton of sacred medals and tiny cloth pouch whose contents had speculated upon.
 "'What will you do if you are taken pIisoner?' asked Skridlova one day,
 No one of us will eve- be taken alive she answered. and pulled out the little gray pouch Tt Is the strongest and surest kind there is.' she said"

Cowboy Changed His Mind

Y rom the ScrlDner.
 Three. years ago on a July morning 1 rode out of town at dawn with young friend of mine. For 90 miles or so our paths lay along the same way. He had
 been to a dance; had been to town on business. He had had no sleep at all,
 but he was very gay and debonair and vigorous. The music still rang in his ears and he hummed snatches of the tunes; and, have no doubt his ears still hrmmed with the scraping of high-heeled boots and of light slippers on polished floors; with the pounding of feet when quadrille was danced. The sun came up over the snow-clad mountains to the east like the sound of a golden trumpet blow Ing notes almost too high and clear and incredibly sweet. In the valley the dark green shadows of dawn gave way to
 the light-green brilliance of day. After a while my friend talked of the war. He defended Germany. He imagined,
 you see. that single-handed, Germany was fighting the world. His sense of fair play had been aroused. There was no use arguing with him. Two weeks ago I saw my friend in Washington. He was in the uniform of United States engineer. He was very erect and de- termined and proud, although he was still unshakably gay and debonair. And he knew just why he was there and WHY Ho HOpcu III q SHotl tlIHG tO get
 to France" His sense of fair play, you see, had not deserted him; 1t had merely
 shifted to the other side.
 was particularly interested in finding out what he thought of saluting: what
 he though of this business of officers and men," He explained his position accurately and with touch of mysti-
 cism; mysticism that had to do with the symbolical relation of uniform to the flag and of the flag to the nation itself the one hundred millions. of 1t: a form of mysticism that all but biologists and
 bolsheviki and fools know Is the one thing that distinguishes man from a beast.
 And this was the boy who had once told me he'd take orders from no damn
 man in the world"
