 Three generations of his family had lived in St. Clair and Madison Counties before Charles Samuel Deneen. was born at Edwardsville H., May 4, 1863. As early as 1872, Senator Deneen's great grand father Risdon Moore, a Revolu- ticnary War veteran, went to Hi nois from Georgia because of his hatred for slavery. He was speaker of the lower house of the terri torial legislature and in three state legislature led a fight to prevent admission of slavery into Illinois.
 The Senators grandfather was a Methodist Episcopal circuit rider and county surveyor. His father, Samuel H. Deneen, was teacher of Latin at McKendree College, Lebanon, Ll., from which both father and son were graduated.
 Concluding his studies at Me Kendree College, Senator Deneen worked his way through the Union College of Law at Chicago and was admitted to the bar in 1883. Three years later he married Miss Bina Day Maloney of Mt. Carroll, III. They had four children. Charles Ashley Deneen, Dorothy (Mrs. AL mand M. Blow, Frances (Mrs. Cari BirdsalD and Bina Day Doneen.

He look a lead ing part in the fight to seat Frank l. Smith. who was appointed to ill the uneXpired term of the late Senator William B. Mckinley and elected for a full term as Senator from Illinois. Mir Smith was barred from the Senate because of the alleged improper sources of his campaign funds.

New Pirate Boss

Both Driving Hitters;

Poundoqe to lao
BY RUSSELL NEWLAND,

SAN FRANCISCO, March 81
The Pittsburgh Pirates, In and out
OF here on a "quickie" series OF
exhibitions. left one poser which
may provide the news behind the
baseball news this season.
It deals with the Waner boys,
Paul and Lloyd, who taught them
selves to hit corn cobs with a broom
stick so accurately during Oklahoma
school days, they became one of the
great brother acts OF baseball.
The question Is: Are the Waners
nearing the end Of their string with
the Pirates?
The answer, on the face of the
present setup, would appear to be
"yes."
1t may not happen this season,
or next. Then again, sudden de-
parture of either from the club,
would occasion no great surprise to
those familiar with the workings
of the team.
Paul Is 81 and Lloyd, 80.
They are the sole survivors of an
era that saw Pittsburgh win It's last
National League pennant-in 1927.
Like all other playing veterans, they
are becoming increasingly confront
ed with the problem Of bucking Old
Man Time.
Paul, who joined the Pirates in
1926, will be 81 years old next month.
He is beginning his 18th season
Lloyd, 80, hoped into a Pittsburgh
! uniform In 027.
| Three times Paul has led the
league in hitting. He was top stick
man of the club with 1923 last season.
His batting eye is still sharp. But
his former speed is only a memory
Lloyd, smaller than his brother,
hit 1855 in his first year with the
Pirates. Last season he dubbed a
weak 285 in 112 games.
During this spring training young
sters Bob Elliott and Maurice Van
Robays have been performing in the
center and right field berths once
completely dominated by Lloyd and
Paul. Dynamic frankie Frisch,
pulling the Pirates managerial
strings for the first time, regards
Elliott and Van Robays as corners,
plans to give them every chance.
Beth Are Hard Hitters.
Both are driving hitters, in the
800 class. Their only drawback is
the fact both are right-handed bat
ters. If they stepped In as regulars
1t would give the club an outf1eld
composed of right-handed batters.
The Waners are portsiders. They
come In handy when such pitchers
as Cincinnati's Walters and Der
ringer are working.
Although age is an important
factor in the case of Poul Waner,
there is much speculation as to the
benefits he does or does not derive
from spending his winters in warm
climate. Manager Frisch definately
is opposed to players alternating in
sunny climes on the theory too
much of this is enervating.
In the elder Waner's case. too, he
has played so much competitive golf
the last two winters he reported for
spring training weighing In the
neighborhood of 140 pounds. After
reaching camp he had to build up
weight, which reverses the usual
procedure.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, March o.
The st. Louis Cardinals, the dope.
sters' nominee for the National
League flag, scored crucial on-the-
diamond victory In signing baseball's
No. holdout.
Outfielder Joe Medwick, who
thought his slugging talents worth
at least 10000 this year-a return
to his 1888 salary-changed his mind
last night and accepted the Cardi-
nails "deadline" offer of $4,000,
same as he earned last sesScf.
The clubs stock rose sharply on
the heels of the announcement. The
Cardinals have only a mediocre rec

williams admits that not once has
he cut loose. He senses that he is in
durance vile, yet. doggedly, he re-
fuses to run risk of permanently
injuring his salary wing.
Meanwhile, opinion in camp is
divided. There are some who feel
that Williams should have opened
up by now There are others who
think Almon is right. In q sense It
has become battle of nerves. Will
liams Is afraid the Mats will release
him before he has chance to show
his stuff. The club, on the other
hand, needs pitchers badly. Will
liams did too we'll at Chattanooga
last year and he holds too much
promise to be dropped abruptly be-
fore inspection.
Almon has been knocking around
in baseball for some time. But I'm
only "a years DID," he says, land I
know that can pitch in the big
leagues now. When I was with the
Athletics didn't have any control.

Won Five Straight Shutouts.
The 6-foot 4-inch hurler from st.
Augustine, Tex, had a strange rec.
ord with Chattanooga last year. In
his first five games he pitched ave
consecutive shutouts before he lost
10 decision in game in which
he gave only four hits and no bases
on balls. Two errors were respon-
sible for the only run.
I'VE ran into bad weather after
that" he recalls. 1T was my turn
to pitch and, day after day. We
were rained out. Finally, we got to
play in Nashville and it was cold
and damp. I pitched, but the next
day my elbow was swollen twice its
normal size I've felt 1t ever since" I"
Williams, nevertheless, came back
later in the season and in the
stretch run in the Southern Asso-
citation race he won. six straight
games and the Lookouts won the
pennant. Engel, former Washing
ton scout and now president Of the
Chattanooga club, enthusiastically
recommended him to Griffith, who
purchased Williams before he came
up for the draft.
Now the Mats don't know what to
do with him. The big fellow has
been known to have good fast
ball and an improved curve. But up
to now he hasn't really done any
pitching.
Meanwhile, all Almon Is hoping
for Is q stretch Of hot weather and
more patience on the part Of the
