Sept. 30.— Christy Mathewson for 15 years the fdol of baseball fans In America, re- mained at Saranac Lake today, while thousands of baseball enthusiasts gathered at the Polo Grounds, New York city, scens of many of Mathew- son's triumphs in baseball, to pay trib- Mathewson, one of the xreatest pitchers known to baseball, past or present, has been here tor more than | ® year fighting the greatest battle of hero of championship races in the Na- tional league and of world's series games, 100, was anxious to attend the testimonial to him but because of the long distance he would have to travel and the confusion which would have attended the demonstration for him had he done so, he was persuaded to remain here. In spirit, however, he | was there. Showing the same high purpose and iron nerve that carried him to victory in many gruelling baseball struggles and placed him on the highest pin- nacle in baseball’s hall of fame, Math- ewson today is winning his fight for Iite, A year ago last July Mathewson came here in quest of health. He was here only a short time when he be eame seriously ill. He was in bed for 13 months. But Mathewson has fought in the sick bed as he had fought on the baseball flelds. And today his battle for life appears to have been equally an successful as his struggles on the diamond. Today Mathewson looks like the Mathewson of old. He appears to be in normal welght and so greatly has he improved In health that now he is permittéd to take automobile rides and short walks in the village. He'll soon be allowed to go anywhere. Last month was perhapr one of the happiest in Mathewson's life. On Au- gust 12, he was 41 years old. And, he says, it was his happlest birthday. He passed the day quietly with Mrs. Mathswson, and their son, Christy, Jr., and received messages from all parts of the country. congratulating him on his long uphill fight for health, and wishing him a speedy recovery. i And then on August 30, Matherson for the first time wsince he arrived hers, appeared on the streets of the village, going to a barber shop and chatting with persons he met there This trip was characterized by his friends as the first step in increase of exercise, and a rapid return of strength and health Despite his long iliness, baseball is «till the subject closest to Mathewson's heart. He has followed very closely the pennant races in the two big I~agues and has often expressed a de- sire to pee the local team in action, interested in tha fortunes of the Saranac Lake club this year New York's feat in coming from be- hind In the National league race and passing Pittsburgh brought much joy to Mathewson. as did a telephone con- versation he had with John McGraw, manager of the Giants, after New York had defeated Pittaburgh in the pecond mama of their last series in New York National Lengue club, un- der McGiraw’s management that Math- ewson achieved his greatest honors in baseball Mathewson's brilliant pitching help- ed the Glants to win the National lea- #ue pennants in 1904, 1905, 1911, 1912 and 1013, In the world's series of 1905 against the Thiladelphia Ameri- cans, Mathewson pitched three of the five games ‘plaved, won all three and a'd not allow Philadelphia to score In ~analled | nany world’s series. The de- fent af the Giants in 1911 and 1913 *v Philadelphia and in 1912 by the Poston Ted Sox was no fault of Math- ewson. Indeed, baseball experts de- clare that Mathewson pitched the best ball of his career in the series of 1912 anly 16 he heaten by errors. PRIME MINISTER IN JAPAN FRIENDLIER Takashi Hara Gets Stronger Grip on the Empire Toklo, Sept. 30.—Friends of Takashi Hara, Japan's prime minister, say that far from being overthrown by his political opponents, he seems every week to be getting a stronger grip upon the Empire, and now stands forth a powerful dominating figure,, like Clemenceau and later Briand in France, and Lloyd George in England Hara,, the imperturbable, some one has styled him. His smooth-shaven, amiling face seems crowned too young with pure white hair. He never loses his calm even when others of his official family depart for a moment from traditional orfental impassiveness when some such event as, for example the American suggestion to discuss far-Eastern policies, comes unexpect- ed and, perhaps, undesired. At the cabinet councils he is said to impose his will like a Napoleon and like Napoleon he sleeps but five hours a day. It is a common opinion among Japanese that he is the man who decides almost all important is- sues coming before the cabinet, othar ministers merely serving as his secre- taries, so autocratic is he in the hand- 1ing of the governent affairs. Japanese attribute his domination of his cabinet to his indomitable will power and political sagacity of cleverness. There is a saying that to under- stand Japan's forelgn and domestic policies, one needs to understand Takashi Hara's character; but Mr. Hara is not a personality to be under- #tood easily. He always keeps his pl o himself and very few of his minis crs or close associates know any hing about his intended move until | the it moment. It is believed thut t Mr. Hara, and not the Home inister who recommends that drastic ps be taken to handle the labor situation in Kobe when the issue as brought up for a final decision of the cabinet and his word became law whether good or bad Reporters find Hara a hard man to s enough, but urb them Some m tried t talk about the Washingt the other day. He sparred for a whil and then added: “Now let's stop talk ing shop. 1 don't like to talk every day about such dry subjects. 1 feel in Heav only when I return tc native city of mine.” This was ence to Morioka where he wi g “How about my health? It's it I only get five hours sleep, which is hard enough to get these days. Mrs, Hara” She has recovered—may be be- cause she has stopped smoking.” BIBLE EXAMINATIONS FOR BAR ADMISSIONS Such Are Proposed by Daniel Iddings, Former President of the Ohio Bar Association. Dayton, O., Sept. 30—All candidates tor admission to the bar should be compelled to pass examinations on the Bible and the works of Shakespeare, in the opinion of Daniel W former president of the Ohio Bar us- soclation. Mr. 1ddings has urged that all bar crganizations insist upon pass- age of such quisite to the taking of the bar exami- nation that candidates be quizzed on Black- stone’s Commentaries. “The source of all law really is the Bible while Shakespeare pointedly brings out the foibles of the law,” de- clares Mr. Iddings. Blackstone's Com- mentaries, he says, should be read by every lawyer at some time during his career, for “it must ever remain the greatest exposition of what the Anglo- Saxon law really is “Such examinations would compel the reading and study of these great lterary masterpioces,” Mr. Iddings continues, “and certainly no man can read and understand the Bible without being benefitted morally, and same is true, although in a lesscr degree, of Shakespeare. The biggest duty of bar associations is insisting upon early and universal action on this important sub- Joct.” ;!ust_ Arrived +.Jhe New Red Cross Shoe Iddings, examinations as prere- proper and recommends also French Vici Kid Combination Last Fancy Brogue — OXFORDS — Red Cross make. $7.50 All Widths A to E.
