S.-On of the greatest compliments that could be rll pitcher has been Pd "Christy" Math ewson by "Eddie" Colllni In a story on pitchers I Have Faced." He writes: "Neither his fast ball nor hit curve li remark abU-lndeel. they are only ordl nry bot ther la oroethlng about Math eweon. hla bearing, hi manner, that Aire you th impression that you are going up against Gibraltar. Uncon sciously you think: T am up against something aow, for fair.' " Colllna adds: "Mathewaon's bralna really make him a rreat pitcher, although hie other bis aaaet la hla control. He comes nearer putting a ball where ha wanta to than anyona else pitching to day. Possessor of unlimited nerve ana Mnnoiun.

S Umpire live In the golden ago today; their existence la passed In a garden spot. So aay E. II. Wood, on of the old-time umplrea In the We ft em league and later, aubatltut umpire In tha National league. , In hi time, according to Wood, a handler of tha Indicator was shunned by all man. No person dared to call htm a friend. Ha wu an outcast, a man without a country. "Umpire had to hav nerve, and bunche of It, when I waa In tha business many year ago," ays Wood. "Thoaa wetp tha time when we had to fight It nut with the players on the ball field, and and other trade, whlla they are alao able) we didn't have a Ban Johnson or John Tener to back ua up. w could, it in true, tack a fin of S5 on aa offending player, but we couldn't put him out of tha game, or even bench him. Bo you apeak a H ha batted against Mstnew aon In thre world aeries. Furthermore, Collins has proved himself one of the greatest "money" batter In the buel nesn Ha can alwaya b counted on to do his beat tlrk work when thar I something big to ho accomplished In a abort time. If ha has atsed Matheweon op la thta way tha "fan" can get a good Idea of how big, powerful and masterful tha "old master" look to younger play sr and batter of 1 ability. CMllaa has revived a toplo whloh has neen going tha rounds wver etno certain well meaning crttlos decided that "Matty" had treated hlmaelf to enough glory and Boney and waa primed to dlalooata hi right shoulder, crack his elbow, become weak at tha kneea and ha counted out by senility. tTeee His Head. Long ago ball playars decided Mathew eon does not pitch with hi arm. but with his head Instead. And, from Math awaoa'a viewpoint, not to refer even passingly to that of New York, It Is a profitable and effectual way of crowd ing a baa ball over some part of tha eventeen-lnch front of a home Plata without ambitious batters turning tha pitches Into base hits with too much con sistency. And about the aame time It waa found that MathewsoiVs fast on and his curve were not such all fired rip snorting sta gier they were no better than a lot of other pltchera were able to propel. But somehow or other "Matty" always has possessed the happy facility of being able to throw a batter a fast on when the hatter expected a curve, and vioe versa. Furthermore, tf the batter misses It the hall see ma to hover In the general loca tion a strike. In hla story Cbluns raises another point which is herewith referred ' to eertala Yankee pita hers. If they should adopt the suggestion, there might he a chance af American league ball gamee In this etty being played within a responsible length of time and not finished Just as the silvery beams of a summer moon be gin to mingle with tha gentle ripple of tha Harlem river. Wastes Ne Timet. Tn tha bos "Marty wastes no time or orpins energy and ' he pHohea a soon as a hatter takes hla place at the plate. By doing so he bothered me a lot, I knew, because I waa not used to It Z go through habitual movement, fix my cap. hitch my trousers, tap the plate, and I am accustomed to do these things a I watt for the pitcher to wind up. " "Matty." however, didn't give me a chance. Before I could hitch my trousers the ball waa tn the catcher's mitt, and the result waa I felt at a loa Dlsturb th habitual preliminaries of a batter and yon bother him. The result was that I was forced to do all my motions before I got Into the batter's box." This la very true. Matheweon Is one of the fastest working pltchera in cap tivity. Whenever he 1a delegated to guide the destinies of the Otanta from the pitching mound a fast game results. Mathewson knows the batter. lie knows What he wants to rive them. lie does not have to atudy them each time they step to the plete. He 1 prepared to pitch when the are ready and he has so eoerhed the Giant catchers thev too know what be wants to throw. There Is no dllly dallying. -no "hire a hall" confer, en res.

This represents a saving not only in money, but also In men, for It lessen the laboring cine see, trlctly so-called, and gives to the city a larger percentage of skilled mechanics and Independent craftsmen. South Omaha within the last few years has been designated aa ons of the local ities for the normal training In the high school. The state contributes annually to this end t&0. A year ago the state placed the local high school on the lint of those accredited to the Agricultural de partment of the University of Nebraska. In support of thl work the state con tributes an additional f00 to 11.200, ths amount differing year by year. To carry on this work five acres of land have been leased for five years and home gardening has been developed. Closely linked with the school life of the elty Is the religious and social life.. Churches of different denominations have seemed to vie with one another tn South Omaha in developing their organisations.

They are all edifices of stone and brick designed after classic models In church building.

Among the leading one who have added to the architectural wealth of the city are the Eagle, with th magnificent hall at Twenty-third and N street, th Moose, with their hall at Twenty-fifth and M atreet. and the Workmen, with their Temple at Twenty- fifth and M streets also. Other lodges have their halls also, but perhaps not as elaborate In, design nor a commodious In construction! Among those are the Masons, the Odd Fellows, th Danish Brotherhood, the Viking, th Mystla Worker, th Redman and many other.

Mr. Dewltt needed a lot of rolled barley. He bought five tons of the Mesa Milling company and shipped It from Mesa to flnowfleke In 200 sacks of fifty. pounds each. , For railroad transportation of thle barley, from Mesa to Holbrook, a distance of several hundred miles, and team trans portation from ' Holbrook to Snowflake, thirty . miles, he paid the United State government 1108, and the United States government paid him for carrying It the thirty miles 1160. He received fuS more than he paid for transportation. He got his 209 sacks of rolled barley carried for nothing and -' obtained ST2 besides. Lo Angeles Times. .

"I remember onoe, when I was an um pire in the Western league, a foul tip had hit me In the throat, and I couldh't talk above a whisper; had to work by sign when I called "em out. Every de cision was trouble for tn. Ill Wild West Experience. "It was tn Denver when I first heard oowpunchers firing revolvers from th stands. The stands then were like the bleachers of today, a bunch of hoards piled together. The cattlemen were hold ing their convention there at the time, and I remember It sounded like a sham battle. Tha cold sweet poured down my back Whenever I made a decision against Denver, and I could almost feel the bul lets clip me on the feet or take my hat off. I was a tenderfoot then. "Perhaps th worst experience I ewer went through waa In the Western league, the first day I officiated at Wichita. Base ball was In Its Infancy out west then. Th umpires were the goat for apectator and players and evry game waa a nightmare. "That was a battle P11 never forget. and you never will know how welcome a safe hit was until I tell you thl. Th game went seventeen inning, and Kansas City, Wichita's hated rival then, was playlnr. Th stand over near third bsse didn't have a fence, and U seemed as if every decision was mad either at third or at home base. "After the ninth Inning every time a man was put out at third or at the plate more spectator came down and gathered around th field. By tb twelfth Inning the player and myself were almost sur rounded. They kept saying what would happen to me If Wichita lost Never Fu the Rail. "Finally It waa In the seventeenth Tom Mansel came to bat He waa fa mous before he hit the Western league as a batter. Suddenly he leaned on the hall. The center fielder took one look at It as It sailed over his head and then started In, The game was won right then and there. I don't believe they ever found the ball. "It waa quite some distance te the depot, but I led the procession all the way and broke all reoords getting on a train. I never umpired there again, ask ing the league president to send me else where In the future. They tell me they have never quite gotten over the habit of umpire baiting In Wlehlta and that even now the Indicator holder often has to run for his life after giving decisions that can't agree with opinions held by the fans. Makes Tle-rnrd Ran. "At Peoria one day came something I till remember with great clearness. They used to slide head first then, sijd a run ner. I forget his name, dived headlong for second tn this game and managed to knock the ball out of the tagger's hand as he touched him. I didn't see It but the runner got hold of the ball and stuck It tn his shirt ss he lay there sprawling. "He got up and as the players were hunting for the ball started for third. Ha bluffed around for a moment and then dashed for home. He slid In. Then, com ing to hi feet, he dusted himself off and walked leisurely to the bench. During all this time the other Bid was frantically looking around for th ball. When he finally got to his bench he took the ball out of his shirt and tossed It back on the field. "They yelled for a decision. I called the runner safe. Honestly I believe all rec ord for (peed from th park to the hotel were broken by me after that battle." MaslnsTa of a Modern Maid.
