'World’s Title Will Again Be Put Up to Matty, Who Has Been Giants’ Mainstay Eléven Years More Valuable Than Ever, Having Saved Seven of Last Ten Games, BY BOZEMAN BULGER. Cincinnati, Sept. 23. | OW that the season {s in its gloaming and columns have been ex- N hausted in praise of the Marquarde, the Alexanders, the King Coles and the Chalmerses, the searchlight which for months has shed over acres of young athletes finds itself focused on one small spot. In the centre of that spot is a big blond haired Giant, who spent the greater part of his last days in St. Louis showing an eager and admiring crowd of mes senger boys how to pitch the fadeaway. This demonstration by Christy Mathewson took place in the Stock Exchange, and the object he used for illustration was a tissue ball put together by the young bank runners. Ask any man in the West, whether an expert or of the laity, to mention the name of the greatest pitcher in the world, and without hesitation ho will answer “Matty.” Ask any baseball manager on any team and he will tell you the same thing. Ask any man who has wagered a sum on the world’s series what pitcher he would like to carry his money, and it wili be the same answer: “Matty.” And last but not least of all, ask the players on the New York team their choice of a pitcher to twirl them to victory and the big prize at stake and they will look at you in amazement. “There's nothing to that,” is the general answer; “Matty is the greatest money pitcher in the world. With anything at stake he is in a class by himself." MATTY GIANTS’ MAINSTAY. Mathewson is the mainstay of the New York club after all, and he will be that very same thing as long as no injury befalls his good right arm. | To-day Mathewson is in as good condition way. battled away with con. few days of trouble and worn-out arms the Gia) be brought forward at the least sign of troubl An evidence of his value as a relief man is the fact that he has saved seven games within the last ‘ten days, and during that entire time he only pitched one full contest. In St. Louis he saved two games by pitching one entire inning. In the first one he worked one-third of an inning and in the second game he | worked two-thirds, which is to say he retired two batters and got out of Four of! |the game. In Boston and Pittsburg he worked in five games. | those times he went to the rescue and in the other he twirled an entire! | nine innings just to test his endurance. The Giants are enthusiastic over the success of Marquard. They say he has as much etuff on the ball as any man in the world, and, though he 4s young, he will cause the Athletics a lot of trouble; but right there comes the rub, If the Athletics begin to cause Marquard trouble, Matewson is he man they will cry for. In critical moments he is supreme. While many fans had the fdea that Matty had gone back this season | they did not take into conetderation the number of games that he saved besides those that he had won from the start. So far Matty has won | twenty-four games and lost twelve, according to the records. Six of his defeats were the direct result of errors, and five of those unlucky games were played at the Polo Grounds, whore the fans could see for themselves that it was no fault of his pitching. ,| MATTY LEADS ALL THE BOXMEN. The best way to get a line on Big Six, however, i# to look over his | record for the past ten years. Compare that period with the best ten years of Cy Young's activity, and it will be seen that Matty leads them all. In ‘i 7| ten years he has won 274 games and lost 109. During the best ten yoars of Young's career he won 397 games and lost 12 That gives Matty a winning percentage of .715, against .705 for Youn, Matty's premier years were 1901-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11, while Young was at his best {n 1892-3-5-6-8-9-01-02-03-04, | The calculations are based on those years. Mathewson had his best year in 1904, when he won thirty-five games 5|and lost 8, an average of .%14. Young's best year was in 1892, when he won | 36 and lost 10, an average of .783 No other pitcher in the league has ever approached these figures for a n elven period of years. In match games, such as the post-season series or the games for the world's championship, Matty {s in a class by himself. In single handed | pitching duela when much 1s at stake he {s supreme. | During the world’s championsh{p series of 1905, when the Giants played {the Athletics, Mathewson pitched four of five games and the Athletica did not score off him, When he faced the Highlanders last fall he won four straight games and the championship. In the slimly attended Boston |series two years ago Matty pitched two games and was beaten once. Just now McGraw 1s very carefully grooming Matty for the world's series. He admits that the Glants will have to depend on the big fellow to lead them on, but, not to take anything away from Marquard, he says that the Rube will be Matty's chief Heutenant. Big Six ts saving every ounce of strength that is possible. On this trip he has pitched but one full me, Any time that he gets a safe lead he is taken out, so that his arm y rest and grow stronger. He will be worked in one full game a week | wo as to keep him right to go the distance. The fans of New York need not worry about the condition of Big Six When the day comes for the big stake event of baseball McGraw will go to his paddock of thoroughbreds, pick out old Matty and take off the blanket. Then {s the time to get down your dough “Big Six” Regarded Best Pitcher That Ever Lived and Now he ever was in his life!

It was due to Matty’s great pitching that the Giants won the world’s title from the Athletics in 1905, and base- ball history may repeat itself this year. w Ap ¥ {TH Erasmus, Clinton, Manual Curtis and Stuyvesant on the fleld the scholastic football season Which promiaes to be a record breaking one this year, {# well under way, The coaches are rushing things along, en- |deavoring to get their charges In trim for the opening games which come a MATTY" TODAY week from to-day, Some of the squads have already taken up scrimmage work and are in far better conditions than the others.
