tend the Northern Nebraska declama-
tory contest which is to be held here
Wednesday night. Mr.. Mount has ar
ranged to bring as many extra pas
senger coaches down on the early
freight from the north that night as
will be required to accommodate the
crowds, and 1t is probable that they
will be returned by special train that
night. There are indications that
there may be also a large number of
people from the west and the east who
will want to attend, and 1t is likely
that similar arrangements will be
made for taking them back on The
same night, after the contest is neld.

kFEFE'S FAMOUS SLOW BALL

"Along about 1892" said Arlie
Latham, during a game between
Cincinnati and the New York Ma
tionals, Tim Keefe, the greatest
pitcher of his day, in my opinion,
and the only man pitching who had
a slow ball, was in the box. Tim
pitched the slow ball with the
same delivery that he did his fast
ones. therefore making it diff
cult matter for the batter to hit.
After the ball left his hand it would
not turn at ALL On a brand new
ball you could see the lettering,
and every stitch was perfectly WIS.,
ible. 1t was surely wonder.
Keefe had for his catcher the IA
nous Buck Ewing. He was certain

went back of the bat, besides being
very heady catcher. During the
game of ball, which was nip and

which Keefe and Ewing were the
battery, very funny incident oc-

was standing down by third base

making all sorts of gestures and
at the same time telling the audi

Reilly was the most peculiar look

Being so exceedingly tall and lean,
he wore the largest cap he could
find. and had it pulled way down
over his eyes; then he would pull
up his trousers, and strike one of
his queer attitudes.

Wister tells of the "Virginian's'
courtship and first meeting with
the young woman who was finally
to capture his heart. 1t was when
the amorous and half drunken
driver of the stage, on which she
was the only passenger, managed
to nearly upset the coach while
fording a stream.
Then a tall rider appeared close
against the buried axles, and took
her out of the stage on his horse
so suddenly that she screamed. She
felt splashes, saw a swimming flood
and saw herself lifted down upon
the shore"
Her rescuer sees that all is well
with the girl and then goes his
way.
The "Virginian" then develops a
sudden interest in things pertain
ing to school, and calls upon the
young teacher.
Thus the romance goes on until
one day the hero is shot by cattle
"rustlers" and the school ma am
finds him dismounted beside a
spring, fainting from loss of blood
She helps him to his saddle and
saves his life. One adventure fol.
lows another, and the "Virginian'
grows in the readers favor as the
tale goes on until he becomes the
most popular hero of the day-and
now the story has gained fresh in
terest when it is learned that each
of these thrilling episodes is taken
from real life.

ball Keefe pitched with exactly the
same motion, it being just the re-
verse, a slow ball about a foot on
the outside Of the plate. Reilly
made a quick snap at the ball, his
bat whirling around before the ball
got half way to him. Keefe then
gave him another fast one around
his neck, and then another slow
one which Reilly went after the
same as the first, He then had two
balls and two strikes. and matters
were getting very interesting. To
the establishment of the audience
and more so to Reilly, Keefe wound
himself up as IL to throw a very
speedy ball, but instead pitched an
other slow one, about three feet
outside. Reilly swung at the ball
desperately, and 1t being slow
one, he tried to hold back. but could
not, and he fell head first into the
dirt. of course striking out.
"Keefe. Ewing and some of the
New York boys went up to call on
the genial Harry Weldon that
night. when Weldon made the re-
mark that in all the baseball games
he had ever seen, Reilly's attempt
to hit Keefe's slow ball was the
funniest Of the 10th century. In the
midst of the conversation which
followed. Weldon asked Keefe
where he thought Reilly's weak.
