Pastor at Methodises' -
Meet Once Famed Pitcher
The Rev. F. H. Urwin, pastor of
the Methodist church at Inman,
Neb., who is attending the Metho
dist conference now in session in
Omaha, revived recollection of the
state championship base ball tour
nament in Omaha in 1899 when the
Omaha team won the pennant by
one score..
The Rev. Urwin took a prominent
gart in the series. He will be re
membered by pioneer sport fans as
having pitched for -Louisville,
Omaha's final contestant for the
prize. .
The Rev., Urwin was then 18
years old and was kpown through
out the middle west as "Nebraska's
Kid Pitcher." A year later he en
tered Nebraska Wesleyan univer
sity to study for the ministry. He
is still a great lover of sports, he
says. -

For one hour, John waited, per

telling of the intended battle.
' "An' it's goin' to be settled this

Pedestrians and passing autoisjs

at the elder sitting -alone on the

of the intended fight made a run to
Nineteenth and Charles only to find
the father-in-law in fiery mood.
"Yeah, he ain't keerfiil with his

How Dicky "Took" Maj. Grantland's
Words of Madge.
As Major Grantland stated the
terms of the promise he wished, to
exact vfrorn me I stared in horrified
amazement. -
"You cannot mean that,- -JSajor
Grautland," I exclaimed. "Not to
go outside the house unaccompanied
by my husband or father " 4
r Or some other man. the army
officer Suoolemented cravelv.
cut but that s virtual imprison matic t
iri?ht,"T said hotly, yet with a little faced c
chill of fear creeping over me.
I know it and regret it, Major
Grantland replied, and I think you
know that I would not ask it unless
I were absolutely compelled to do so
fdr your own safety.''
1 threw back my head and looked
at him steadily.
I here is danger then to my
safety?" I asked quickly.
He hesitated, and 1 saw Dicky
throw him a swift, fjurtive look. It
was a look of inquiry, and I saw
that the bizarre situation, whatever
it meant, was dominated bjn Major
,
Grantland. Dicky wasbut a super
numerary. While I was reasonably
sure that he knew the reason for
Major Grantland's actions I was
also sue that he had no idea, of the
methods which the army officer
meant to employ, f
When Hugh Grahtlant's eyes next
met mine there was pain behind the
firmness shining in. them.
Yes there is danger, he said
ward' me, and I saw that his fingers
were clenched into his palms, He
disregarded Dicky's presence as if
he 'were not beside us, and his eye's
blazed down into mine.
""Ypu know I would give my right
hand to spare you this," 'he said
tensely, and ffie wordwere re
deemed from banality by the pain
andXsircerity in hisvoice and face.
"That's a nrettv biff order. Grant-
quietly, "but you must not ask mejland," Dicky drawled mockingly,
what it is. - I can promise you, "It's a good thing you 'won't be
nowever, mat it win oe removea -in
a few days." ' - i
urantiana is urim. n.
There was a grimness in his nian-had been struck an unexpected blow,
ner, a vsternness m his. tace which
reminded me of the strenuous dra-
lmes when he and I had
death and .danger together.
His expression boded; no easy time
for "the danger" whoever or what
ever it might be. He waited for
a long, tense minute before he spoke
again. . v '
"May I have your promise?" he
said at last. " '
"Of course," I replied with-a great
weariness settling upon my"Spirits.
I had counted so much upon the rest
and comfort I should gam from this
trip south, and here I faced one of
the strangest, nost maddening re
strictions my life had ever 'known. '
Major Grantland took a step to-
called tipon to. fill it"
Dicky's Mocking Comment.
Major Grantland flinched as if he
Then he straightened himself to his
full height.
"I will not detain you longer," he
said quietly, "and I pledge you that
your discomfort will only be tem
porary." . - :
He bowed ceremoniously and left
the. place almost abruptly. I braced
myself to hear whatever Dicky had
to say. I knew by his tone when
he" had commented upon the army
officer's unconsciously theatrical lit
tle speech that ytc was furiously
angry.
He chose to mask his angeij, how
ever, by scathing ridicule of the
man striding - rapidly toward the
road. . , " , . v -v ;
kk mat guy s certainly missed his
calling." he'drawled with a smile, buf
I caught the viojous note in his
tones. "He'd make a hit in the
novies, or, better still,- in the ten-twenty-thirt,
if they'd only revive
that lassic entertainment. Can't
vou iust see him. stretching out his
right hand and thundering 'Yow
know I would give my right hand
to spare you thisl' "
He paused, threw me an impish,
malicious, smiling glance, then went
on meditatively:
"You know, thereTS one line rye
omitted., I was sure he was going
to spout, 'Rags, are royal raiment
when wont for virtue's sake.' How
he ever left' that out I can't imag
ine. It's the prize gem of the whole
collection. Come on let's go back.
I'll lock you in your dungeon cell
and turn the key over to-Dad while
this nonsense lasts. s He'll have to
squire you round on your, walks
abroadi-Tll be damned if I'm going
to make myself ridiculous with this
nonsense." '
"Dicky 1" I sprang from my seat,
grasped him by the arms, and faced
him. "Is it all nonsense or Major
Grantland's agitation? Jl you say so,
I'll go directly to himllnd ask him
to release me from my promise." v
My husband ', stopped abruptly,
considered a minute.
."Oh, I' wouldn't say there's .noth
ing in iM'he said, hesitatingly, "Bet
ter do whatjie asks for a, few dayS,
anyway, even f it is ridiculous."
