the most unique places for funeral
service that this state has ever pro-

Hundreds of friends who gathered
at the funeral from Christian and
nearby counties found that the trees
immensity was not exaggerated. II

spreads over the entire yard In which
the homestead is located.

clared the greatest figure in baseball.
It's been 10 years since saw a

"The-game sure has taken long strides.
Back in my day We had some heavy
hitters. but none Of them could hold

Back in the ninetes when Rusie
appeared at the Polo Grounds, the
cheers and the shouting We're all for
him. The Hoosier Cyclone. they called
him fer he was considered the great
es. right.handed hurler in the game
He dropped from the game in 1902 af-
ter trying vainly for two years to ov-
ercome the handicap II an injured arm.
When Rusie left the game he re-
turned to his home in Muncie. Ind,
and later went 10 Seattle. Wash,
where he worked as a laborer. He is
rast the ~ mark in years and his
hair is gray He sat unnotced by
| players and fans alike, for he was

Then Kid Gleason, the old manager
CT the White SoX, recognized him. They
were rivals for pitching honors in
the old days. I'm sure glad to see
I YOU. Amos. smiled Gleason. seems
Ike Old times to see you around" The
,amous old jwirler returned the greet
ing and they walked 10 the White SoS
dugout sarm.in-arm.
Although Ruse had not witnessed
a major league game for so many
years he had kept up with the gam,
through the newspapers.
Rusie said he didn't approve Of put
