"Many and many ' " , . 1 T - 4 A 1, j time-I r)ave 'iei,ra nim saj, vu i tt-m or ever will he, 1 owe to my mother.' every word he uttered was. as true as the sun that shines, aaaea "urana- m nines." "But whenever he would speak of )iis mother tears would nil his eyes. He would tell me how she taught him to always he honest in all things, and lrniv she taught him to kneel at her Iuipps and say a childish praye. Her band would be Pn h's head as he said his prayer. After her death he would kiwi beside the empty cnair to say nis prayer, and he said he could seem to fed her hand on his head, and felt that she was near him watering over him." He always spoke kindly of his step mother, aeeording to "Grandma Hines," but would say that no person or no thing emild ever mean as much to him as his own mother. Often iTalked of SInve , Slavery was another subject of wlii'h he won Id often talk to her. He told of his trip t0 tho south when Just j boy in his teens and of seeing slaves Mid at auction.. When he beheld a ne po mother "hid in;" and her nursing hatie torn from her breast he made a solemn vow to strike a blow at this Inhuman thing. Lincoln's hiographers all speak of his unfailing sense of humor, despite his apparent seriousness. "Grandma Hines". corroborates '"this statement, telling how he could relate the- .fun- nest kind of a joke without even cracking a smile. Many of his jokes re on himself, she says, many being about his homeliness. One day he said to her: "'Sis.' don't iJnu' think I'm about the handsomest man you ever saw ? " She hesitated i a moment, then an- wored with childish frankness: "No. Wo A be. you are the ugliest man I sver saw. but von are th best man I ever knew."' This answer brought a look of nar- W"ilr delight, to. his face to her sur prise. This she afterward came to un U'Tstand as the pleasure it brought him to know that she had heeded his ad v!eMo never tc a lie, even to please W best friend. Stephrn A.

Generally, in such cases, Mr. Some One Else also presumed a trifle, the result heint- that tnb- hasn't been snapped up as it should have been. It has been definitely agreed that if sufficient stock is not sold by the middle of the coming week, that the ways and means body can call everything off, and Wilmington will be without professional baseball for an other year at least. This is something most earnestly not wished by hundreds of citizens, who, to prevent disappoint ment, must act during the next two or three days if baseball is to be provided this summer. It thus develops that the "put up or shut up" period grows shorter and more acute the time for subscriptions to talk is present if it is ever going to be. John McGraw, manager and part owner of the New York Giants, has al most a corner on recruits, a dozen and a half youngsters are to report to the Giants at San- Antonio for training in the course of a few days. Among them is Roy Grimes, second sacker, who, with his. twin, brother, Ray, used to Play with Durham in the Carolina league. Ray was a first sacker and the twain happened to be so much alike in appearance and mannerisms t,hat James Kelly once had Roy, the best hitter, bat for Ray in a pinch. Ray was a first sacker and both brothers stood well over six : feet in their spiked shoes. . t Arthur B. Riviere, of Liberty, Texas, has become a member of the St4 Louis National league club. Nothing remark about that until you know: that the young man, in an independent Texas circuit last year achieved the wonder ful record of hurling four complete games and allowing but one clean smack. He's a phenom, if there ever was one, but that doesn't mean that the big league biffers can be fooled as easily as those in the tall and uncut. Surplus talent from the Piedmont and Virginia leagues will be available to Eastern Carolina clubs, in the event the league doea come to pass, and this means magnates in the eastern circuit can save quite a bit on railroad fares an3 other expenses. Both the Piedmont and Virginia will be faster than last season and this means that many cap able pastimers will be available for the new circuit.. Then too, some fast semi-pro and college players performed in the eastern cities last year and The Sally league advancing to Class B means that the Piedmont will not get the advantage it craved when it sought and got Class C rating. Had the Sally stood at C, it could not have drafted from .Piedmont clubs, after the latter was elevated, but conditions remain just as they were last season when Charlotte got the jewel of the league in Duck Smith, the Greensboro first sack er, for just a handful of jack.

Virginia league moguls meet at Wil son next Thursday to adopt a playing schedule for the season of 1921. The season will be longer than last season and. there is quite a difference of opin ion as to whether it should be a split or whole season. The average bush league should do etter under split sea son terms than as a whole, since it gives the club that starts out a hope--less tailen3er a chance to get in sight of the money later on. A small city or town can easily become disgusted with its club it it is out of the running and a split in the playing schedule serves to resurrect interest when it is low down. ATTENTION!

Roland, whose real name is D.wyer, has won three or four contests down there and has shown great promise. Billy Shade watched him at a benefit performance one evening recently and was favorably impressed with the big fellow's work. It would stimulate boxing greatly if ...... - Australia could step ou.t with a first class heavyweight a year or so from now. They haven't had one since they gave away watches with boys' suits, and you know that was many years ago. , A fellow has to skip quite a bunch of ' years before he can name the day that a good Australian heavy set his foot upon these shores. They sent us the cream of the crop seven oV eight years ago, but the cream was cream cheese. Bill Squires and Bill Lang were the two canvas kissers we piped at: - Before that they sent over a boatload that will never be forgotten. That party consisted of Peter Jack son, Bob Fltzsimmons, Frank Slavin, Joe Goddard the barrier champion), and Jim Hall. :Australia has, of course, always had little men who - were .masters of the naririi mitts 'but we haven't seen a star in any of the smaller classes lately either. Lew Edwards came over here and was knocked kicking by Ritchie Mitch ell. He was looked upon as a wona beater, at that. Too bad they can't dig up some of the birds that we saw in the 90's, such as George Dawson, Billy Murphy, Young Griffo and Abe Willis. Crlqnl UIng the rtabbfit Pnncli Below we reprint a clipping from the Sydney Referee. You will nottce tnat the sporting editor, W. F. Corbett (W. F. C) comments on the rabbit punch: Jack 'Feneley penned this: Reading your comment re Jack Green's defeat at the hands of Criqul through terrific uppercuts and jolts to the head, Justi fies my reniinding you of Vince Black burn's exhibition with Criqui. Cannot grasp why our boxers are so impetuous in boring in against Criqui. He, using good tact does very little leading. A strict referee should pull him up on the rabbit-killing punches he uses in close work. (Why? the Wow is not barred. W. F. C). Godfrey, with his long leads, should gauge Criqui s pow ers. He is the only one with a chance, and a punch In the early rounds to drop the great French, fighter. If Jerry Sul livan boxes Criqui and steps out in m!x-ups, he will win on points. All the French contingent are great ex ponents in close quarters, and worthy of the titles they hold. Humor In the Headline "Efforts to Make the Country Drier Still." To make the cSuntry a drier still, is, of course, what they mean. "You say he swears awfully?'' "Yes." "Profane, is he?" "Yes pro-fane is right. It's more than semi-pro, anyway."
