Pete has to quit he will have much in the books to show for his pres- ence in the big time. | Most notable of performances crcdited to the 42-year-old pitcher | will be that of beating the remark- able total of victories credited to Christie Mathewson. Old Pete drew up on even terms with Matty's record of 372 victor- ies late in July and then had the rest of the season to surpass it. The Cardinal veteran has had a trying time of it this season, which has been one of his worst. He was out of the game six weeks because of illness, and for a time it ap- peared that he was through for good. teenth season in the majors. All of this time was spent in the National league, seven years with the Phil- lies, eight and one-half with the Cubs and three and one-half with the Cardinals.
