I HAD RUDE with me along about
L 1898, twirling for Milwaukee. The
Brewers were sure of 4 game every
time Big RUDE was in the box, bur
he kept me at my wits end to have
him on the Job when he was slated 10
pitch.
One of his many hobbies at this
time was 10 fish in Lake Pewaukee. J
had RUDE down to pitch a mighty I'M
portant game against st. Paul When
got to the grounds. they told me
that RUDE had left word that
he had gone to Lake Pewaukee to
fish for black bass, and that he would
surely be back in time to pitch, as he
had RIDDEN out to the fishing grounds
on a bicycle.

Lloyd street grounds straning my
eyes, looking down the road before
the game for my precious RUDE.
waited a while, and then put the
ground keeper on the fence as look
out, while / ordered another man to
warm up. Just three minutes before
the call of the game the lookout let
out a whoop, and informed me that
Rube had just turned a corner and
was coming like an express train,
down the road.
I dashed for the gate ready to cuss,
but when l looked at that big smiling
boy I couldn't help smiling. He was
the biggest natural kid ] ever saw,
and | had to say: why, hello, RUDE!
l had you down to pitch to-day. How
do you feel?"
Feel fine, Connie" said RUDE, and
II you'll give me about two minutes to
warm up, ! will be fine and dandy
Just rode twenty miles from the lake
and feel great"
RUDE was into his suit in two
shakes OF a lambs tail, and tossing
a half dozen balls to his catcher, ne
yelled: THE whip is great, Connie;
bring on the aints!'
And then he began one Of those
wonderful pitching sessions that mare
his name a household word. I never
saw such masterful work. He shut
out St. Paul without man reaching
third. I've often wondered what
Rube would have done to those fell
lows had he not ridden 40 miles on a
bike before starting to twirl.

XHJE were playing a second-rate
w team an exhibition game one
Sunday, and Rube was tossing
for us. Evidently he had had a hard
night, for they kept stealing a hit
now and then. But RUDE managed
to retire the side each inning before
a run crossed the pan.
II came to the last half OF the
ninth inning with the bush" team
at bat The first man up lined one
at Rube's head, and got his base.
With two strikes and three balls on
the next man, Rube sent over a slow

toward first for another safety. I
was getting sore again. The next
man up put one over third, and the
bases were full.

T. Granger, hero, knows what pro-
pane is. He knows that it is "a heavy,
gaseous hydrocarbon, and he knows
further that it is very deadly and
insidious gas. Yet he fought his way
through this gas to save human be-
ing! - :
So when Francis E. yetter, pipe
filter, fell unconscious on the bot
tom of gas tank in a gas-compres-
sor plant here, Gordon Granger, fore
man, knew precisely what had hap
pened to him and that Vetter had
been overcome by propane and that
he would soon be dead if left there.
Yet he went down into the tank.
He dropped himself though ff-
teen-inch manhole to the bottom of
the tank, ten feet down.
There he took the unconscious
man in his arms and, standing erect
himself, held Vetter's head as far
above the bottom of the tank as pos
sibIe.
Propane is a gas much heavier
than air, and, as it flowed into the
tank, it displaced the air in some
such fashion as a flow of water
might. Imagine man standing in |
a rising tide of invisible waters and
you have a rough idea of Granger
standing in the tank holding Vetter's
head above the level of the food of |
gas. 80
Changers head was in a dizzy |
whirl when a rope was let down, but |
he had strength enough left to en-
able him to tie it about Vetter. He
told the men to hoist away-be quick.
Vetter, limp as dead man, stuck
in the manhoIe and by the time the
men above had pulled him out Gran
ger was lying prone and unconscious
where Vetter had lain before.
