UP TO DAT MATTY WILL PITCH ALTERNATE GAMES ~ TOLAND PENNANT ap Giants’ Star Accepts the Great Task of Twirling Three Games a Week to Keep Team in Lead. ES IS BY BOZEMAN BUIGER. (Special to The Evening World.) Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 26. HRISTY MATHEWSON is about to assume the most monumental task C that a major league pitcher ever had thrust upon his shoulders. He has expressed a willingness to pitch three games a week for the rest of the season, provided that the Giants are at any time in danger of dropping out of the first place. Mathewson is the most powerful built pitcher tn America, and though he believes that his constitution is rugged enough to stand such a con- tinuous strain upon his muscles, it looks as {f the task were too much to ask of any one man. He is determined to make the effort, however, | li DONLIN and if he succeeds he will have performed the most wonderful feat that WILL baseball nas secn since the National League was organized, back in the Bore | seventies, Sallie ; Bone uue ago McGraw admitted tha: | of distress, No one can say that, the SCORE | he had but two pitchers of the magni: | ° New Yor s composed Of quitters. j tude of stars, and that on Wiltse and Chicago a Bugaboo.
