While the protests have not been as
strong as might have been expected,
nonetheless there are mutterings in
Cleveland against Ban Johnson's inten-
ton to allow Delehanty to play in that
city.
Ed Bang comes out in the Cleveland
News with sarcastic comment on the
subject, the burden of which Is that
the Maps management will not consent
to the reinstatement. He argues that if
Del were to be restored to good stand
ing because of any supposed advantage
in close race that Cleveland might
obtain because he was barred in two
series there, then Ban Johnson would
always have a row on his hands when
he suspended a star player at a critical
stage of the pennant fight.
That sounds logical. but the trouble in
the Delehanty matter is that one team
is deriving the benefit of his punish
ment for a whole year. which is diff
ferent from the incidental suspension or
a man for a brief period, even If his
enforced idleness does happen to come
when his services are most needed.
Ban Johnson made a mistake when he
inflicted his remarkable penalty on
Delehanty. Everybody else in the league
we believe they will come around with
comparatively little fuss.
Most of the fans and sporting writer's
appear to have overlooked a most I'M
portant point in discussing the way
Niles overran Danzig in the eighth in

Cantillon this morning 1T is certainly
an unusual play. and a fan might go

when l was umpiring a man was ex-
pressly allowed by the rules to go past
another runner. 1t was trick when
player was being run down between
bases for the man behind TO come up 20
him and mix in the proceedings by
ctrcling around the prospective victim
and trying to get TO the base ahead.
This caused confusion, and so many
close decisions that the rule was
changed, and now the gay and gallus
galoot who is too previous is out

Jake Stehl was coaching at third
when Niles bobbed up there ahead of
Danzig. Talking about 1t, Jake said:

No new player has come to Wash
ington in long time who has made
himself so popular in a few games as
has Wild Conroy. It is the unanimous
verdict tnat he viii make good His
work thus far has been brilliant. and
he has been hitting well The double play
he pulled of with Freeman on Satur-
day was the best hit of infield
work that has been done here this
year. He had to take the throw to
third while running away from Free
man, had to watch the ball. the run
ner, and the base. How he did it is
a mystery. Incidentally. we must not
forget that Freeman deserves praise
for heaving TO exactly the right spot
for Conroy to get the runner.

"Human Hearts,

The mere announcement that the
peoples favorite play Human Hearts"
is coming to our city, is matter of
much import to the theatregoers in
our midst. No melodrama of modern
times has enjoyed tae vogue that has
been accorded to w. e. Nankeyille's
solid substantial success, Human
Hearts" The reason is apparent. The
play is interesting from the rise of
the curtain on the first act until the
final curtain falls. The climaxes are
strong and exciting, and the story is
one that will appeal to all classes of
theat re-goers, no matter what their
stations in life may be. The situa-
tons, lines, and incidental business of
the play are of such nature that they
compel the undivided attention Of the
spectators. A strong vein OF comedy
runs through the play, but it is so plac-
ed that never at any time does it con-
fiict with the more serious scenes. The
author has been careful to preserve
the dramati cunities. His characters
are finely drawn, and as true to nature
as possible; in fact. he has taken most
of his characters from life.
Human Hearts" will be seen at
the Grand Friday evening.

When Miss Petticoats" appeared
first in fiction, she created a sensation
as an original, charming creation, and
made place for herself in the hearts
of the people with her lovable quail
tiles and fascinating career. 1t was
not long before there was a great de-
mand for play, and George T. Rich
ardson of Boston, the eminent Jour
nalist, who was one of the joint au-
thors of this great story. wrote the
dramatic version, and it was first pro-
duced at the Boston theatre some five
years ago and made an immediate
hit Critics pronounced it a delight
fully original and powerful play, and
the public crowded the great theatre

caught the attention of the old thea
tre-goers, who are always on the qui

it in this fresh. sweet play of Miss

on the shores of the quaint town of
New Bedford and in the fascinating
city of Paris. where, in the climax,
the heroine appears as the Countess
Fornay and dazzles society by her
brilliant and artistic entertainments.

funct whaler 'Harpoon" living with
her grandfather and his sea cronies

serves as an odd contrast to her fu-

she meets with the temptations and

HIS FAMILY HISTORY

His Illustrious Rel
alive.

The Centerville Iowegian has found
a cousin OF Lincoln living in that city
and tells of it as follows:
How many people in Centerville
know that there is relative of Abra-
ham Lincoln living in our midst? Not
many But nevertheless there is. J..
H. Sharon, who is spending this win
ter with Mrs vermillion on West
Washington has the distinction OF
being cousin of Lincoln. In
thinking of our great war president,
we place him on a lofty pedestal and
seem to forget that he was man of
like passions as ourselves. We forget
that it was because his great heart
beat in sympathy with suffering and
oppression that he is loved and re-
vered by all people. AS the century
of his birth approaches everything
about him has an added interest. We
want to read about him and are eager
to talk with anyone who has seen or
heard him.
representative of the Iowegian
called on Mr. Sharon the other day He
is very unassuming. So much so that
he seldom speaks of being related TO
Lincoln. He says: Il have always
known of the relationship but seldom
that am not proud of it but because
it might seem too much like advertis-
ing myself I will not go into great
detail My information comes from
the Lincolns of Pennsylvania. Being

"Mordecai Lincoln vas the first of
that name to settle in Pennsylvania.
Ife had two sons, Abraham and John.
John moved to Virginia. His oldest
son was named Abraham, who moved
to Kentucky This was the father of
Thomas Lincoln. the father of the pres
ident Abraham Lincoln who stayed
in Pennsylvania had a daughter Sarah.
Sarah Lincoln married Joshua Davis
and their daughter Sarah married
Samuel Sharon, my father.
II was born in Juniata county. Penn
sylvania. December, 1927, and spent
my early life there. When Lincoln
was nominated in 1860 some of our
folks wanted to invite him to make
us a visit but others were ashamed to
have their rail-splitter cousin come.
The thought of one coming from so
far west and the knowledge we had of
him gave a rather low estimate of him.
Il enlisted in the 10th Pennsylvania
infantry in August, 1852, and served
till June, 1863. At the time of the ex-
piration I was in camp convalescent.
