Thursday, May, 26th, 1916 LAST OF DELEHANTYS LEAVES BIG LEAGUE Five Brothers Starred at Baseball During Quarter Century—Greatest Players of All Time • •In an obscure corner of a newspaper appeared the following "The' Pittst' burg Federal League 'club releasee James Delehanty" 'Whet of it? 'Thiel It was the closing sentence of the his- tory of the World's greatest baseball' fatuity. James was the last of that Delehantys, The six eons of an ob. scare, hard-working Cleveland team - titer who became great ball players, Elicit, by brilliant exploits on the dia mond,. assisted in -carving the name of Delehanty in fame as endur'ng as the game itself: Ed,. Tom, Joe, Jaeme, ' Frank and Will all 'played -in the h,t leagues in direct refutation of the es tabliehed' opinion that a ball player s brother never makes' good, Ed. Delehanty was the eldest and the greatest of the tamily. He began to make a name for himself in the late 80's, and for eleven straight year,: established a big league reputation that bas never been surpassed. For eleven straight years "Big Ed" batted well over .300, twice he passed the .400 mark, on one other occas'on he fell but one point short, .399. and in the following year hit for .394. Three other years he averaged over 370, and his poorest year was his drat, when he batted .312. Ed, aecomp.ish- ed many feats with tihe willow; the most famous of these was' probably his achievement in hitting Your home runs and a single In five times at bat in one game. Ed. Delehanty is cons'derd by many as the greatest of old-time players and the best natural hitter that ever lived. ,Almost all of his career was with the Philadelphia Nhtionals, but he also played with Cleveland, and was a mem- ber of the Washington club when .he met his death, in 1903, by falling tro:n a railway bridge, The career of Tom, the second of the Delehantys, extended over fifteen years. He played with Cleveland. Joe, the third brother, starred with the St. Louis Nationals for two years. James was the fourth. Ile starred since 1900 as a star of many teams, He was .played with nine bag league teams and in every position on the diamond. Frank, the fifth brother, played with the New York Americans, and with Cleveland. Will, the youngest, never bad a chance to star with a big league club, althou;h he was drat ed. An injury to hie arm put him out of the game for good. Jim was released to the Co'onial League, the Federal farm, He is this. ty-flve years old. He is tee las'- of the Delehanty's, and there are no more to take his place. It is the Cyst time in nearly twenty-five years that the game has been without a Delehanty VAR BY COMPASS FULL OF EXCITMENT 'Difficult Night Attacks Feature The I Present Conflict—Easy To Get Lost—"The Death Watch" Among British wounded roldlers the compass le often known as the Death lWatch. And for very gaol r aeon pays Jock, "When you gee the officer squinting along the sights of his nom pass all the afternoon, marking the cl. rection of churches and mills, it mean r a night attack sure, and that sotne of you will never take tea in the trenches again." In night attacks at close quar- ters the compass is the only sure guide. Most night attacks are deliver- ed in oblique lines, and when four or flve regiments, covering maybe a mile of front, are on the move, there is a chance of a dreadful mix-up. ' Tricks In All Trades The orders may read At a given signal, leave trench and advance at angle of 25 degreer north of east. The officer sights his compass onn some prominent abient, gives instructions to his men to advance right or left of it, and starts. As all officers have given similar instructions it is wonderful how many thousands may advance parallel, yet invisible. "Our regiment did not know that the next was in the game at all until they came out of the darkness, yelling like blazes, just on our left ten paces." Many a night at- tack, guided by bump of location only, has come to grief, one regiment firing on its friends by mistake or even charging them. In Belgium and North- ern France, where every detail of military importance is carefully map. ped, the compass is less used for long distance work than in otherwara, The greatest mistake in using the compass in peace or in war 1s to sight OA tOo near c s, cC�aiveu a irly d t an c• rite o pTTIi th officer an hie men aatonld keep true direction, though the hill may only-oceaslonany come into view. More important still is the checking oft of progress. A man trailing a few yards in the rear Will help to pivot the company back to the true line by looking backward as often as forward. In absolutely shell -cleared country one must careful' ly fix a line of route, and trust to the bump of location, dangerous though such may be. There is a temptation' to change direction when the British searehilght picks out the glinting rifle" barrels of the enemy. But the'officet has his compass direction to remem ber, and to appreciate that the slight' est change in bis front will give the enemy opportunity, through the gap 'left in' the living wall, to press home .a successful counter-attack. e.

The demon- stratioh coach is equipped with a moving picture machine which throws pictures of the proper and improper firing of locomotives on a screen at one end of Oke car, and the classes for instruction occupy the regular car seats facing the screen. Some of the pictures show the difference between stiff -back firing, where the coal scoop Is held tight with both hands and a Jerking strain comes on the back each time a shovelful of coal is fired, and easy firing, where the scoop is hand- led properly and the coal is fired with a swing. The pictures also show the ease with which coal is paced who re It is want- ed when the scoop is held properly; the proper method of lining up the sides and corners of the fire box; the way in which to turn the scoop to put a fire directly under the dror; the pro- per amount of coal to pica: up in tate scoop, a._d tin bed results of plelc:ng up too much.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CAS T0FR A SOLDIERS' UNIFORMS How the Various Nations Clothe Their Troops—Khaki Becoming Popular Every regiment engaged in the war has exchanged its elaborate parade uniform for a less conspicuous fight- ing garb, but all warring .nations do not clothe their troops in costume so plain as the British khaki, The French infantry wear a single-breasted blue tunic with a red collar, shoulder -straps, and euf flaps. Their trousers are red, and the bottom are generally tucked into ankle -boots. In some cages, how- ever, the red trousers have given way to a sort of khaki, Grey -green cloth is the standard uniform for all the soldiers of the Italian army, and it 1s rare to see any- thing but grey -green being worn even In peace times, The uniform worn by Thebes finest troops, the "Alpini" and "Bersaglierl" regiments, however, is of a darker shade. In peace times these latter regiments are distinguish- ed by their broad -brimmed hats adorn- ed with immense plumes. Green is the predominating color of the Russian uniforms, which are cut ageneem— In a very stylish fashion. The tunic is double-breasted, and knickerbock- ers, high black boots, and a flat -Lopped cap complete the outfit of the Czar's foot -soldiers. In severe weather the Russians wear heavy, greyish-hrown waterproof overcoats, which are lined with sheepskin and possess a cape which can be lifted so that it com- pletely envelops the head, The Rus - elan dragoons wear trousers of blue - grey, and a peaked cap. Footcloths are substituted for socks in the Rus- sian army. The Cossacks rival the French in the picturesqueness of their uniform. They wear blue coats to the knees, black rldina boots, and a cloth -topped, conical lantloskin cap. The German uniform is very drab, and consists of bluish grey which so blends with the landscape that troops thus garbed are very difllcult to de- tect at a distance. In out, the uniform of the Kaiser's troops resembles that of the British costume. • The Dermas cavalry axe more brightly garbed than their comrades en foot, for they wear blue tunics, with grey trousirs, and black leather helmets, The Kaiser's hussars are noted for their•! gay unI- forms, which they cover with all Wan- ner of metal ornaments, and they wear fur busbies, grey trousers with color- ed stripes, and white pouch -belts, Austrian foot -soldiers wear single- breasted, dark blue tunics, trousers of. lighter blue, and hats of the ;same shade fashioned like the kepi, Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA, Monday was a hot one alright.

SUNDAY SCHOOL, Lesson IX.—Second Quarter, For May 28, 1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Acts xv, 1-35. Memory .Verses, 32, 33 -Golden Text, Gal. v, 1—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This lesson tells of a lot of trouble which certain people caused by teach- ing that faith in Jesus'Christ was not enough to save any 'one unlese'they were'aleo circumcised, 'These: peopl'e are dpoken of as "Pharisees who be- lieved" (verses 1, 5). The Lord Jesus did not believe in all who said, that they believed in Rim, for He knew all men (John ff, 23-25). Any one who aloes not see a full salvation in the Snislred work of tbe Lord Jesus for loll who receive Him, apart from any works of ours, does not understand God's way of saving people and cpm- aot be a true believer, Ever since the devil taught Cain that the best lie could do or bring was sufficient with- out any sacrifice or shedding of blood he has continued: so to teach, or else, that the blood of Christ is not suffi- cient without some works of ours, as a Sunday school superintendent once told me that he could not innow that he was saved till he bad' done bis part From the day that the devil lied to Eve and made God a Liar he has been on the same line to the present time. The argument in Isom. iv is full and clear—that salvation is wholly apart from any works of ours and that Abra- ham was a righteous man before God, apart from circumcision, and the teaching is tbe same in all the epistles. Yet the false teachers continue to this day, We might think that the testimony Skin Muddy? Dull eyes, blotches and other skin blemishes result from a disordered di- gestion.

See how along the way as they journeyed they caused great joy unto the brethren as they declared all things that God had done with thenen (verses 3, 4), and tbus this seemingly) unnecessary journey was made to glori- fy God. Rom. viii, 23, is always help- ful, When they appeared before the council at Jerusalem there was much disputing there also, so it would seem that the false teachers bad not all left the city. When Peter found his oppor- tunity he told, or reminded them, how God had sent His Spirit upon the un- circumcised ineircumcised company gathered in the Lome of Cornelius (verses 6-11; Acts x, 84-48). Then Paul and Barnabas de - tiered what they had seen along simi- lar lines in their missionary tour, tell- ing of the wonders and miracles God bad wrought among the gentiles by, them (verse 12), We may imagine how profound the silence was as the connclt listened to the record of what we have been recently studying is chapters rill and adv. Then James, who seemed to be presidingat the council, summed up the matter and gave the decision that the believes among the gentiles must not be tro0-' bled about circumcision or anything) unnecessary for them, but prove, by as life separated from all idolatry, that they were true followers of Jesus Christ This was indorsed by the, apostles and eiders and by the sbr.Ltea church and sent by Paul andBarna- bas and two of the chief men among the brethren, Judas and Silas, to the believing gentiles in Antioch, Syria and Miele (verses 22, 23). Notice in verse 23 that the Holy Spirit was really the presiding one at the council and fed them to their right decision and thus brought joy and comfort to the brethren at Antioch (verse 31), I sin often impressed with tbo fact that the Spirit seems to make so little of a voyage or a journey, aso to the time occupied or the incidents by the way or the places visited or passed through. Note in verse 30 they were dismissed from Jerusalem and came to Antioch, and so it is always, as a rule. no matter how long the voyage or the journey. Time and dig- tanee and enemy things that get much attention here seem not to be noticed in heaven whence the angels come and return as' a dash of lightning and where 1.000 years are but as yester- day when It is past or as n watch In the night (seek. i, 14; Ps. xc, 4). The speech of James gives a most concise summary of the purpose of God in this present age and in the age to come. Now, God is gatbering out from alt nations a people for His name, Elia church, the called out ones, the bod and bride of Christ, who shall with Him when [3e sets up' Hie k dom on the earth.
