MEET ARMY ————— WOULD . MATTY DID THE BEST HE » Goud WO CHEER UP Stocrass } ‘BY BOZEMAN BULGER. HB one big figure that looms up head and shoulders above the joys and disappointments of, the world’s series is Christy Mathewson. Here is a man who occupies the paradoxical position of hav- failed to win a game and at ame time is looked upon as the hero of the annual baseball gle. In defeat this past mas- ter of the pitching art overshadows of the twirlers who led their teams to victory. Even the players ofthe Red Sox team declare that} Mathewson is the greatest pitcher | in’the world. They also add that notwithstanding their happiness over winning the big prize the saddening feature of the hard struggle is that work of a master went for ht through misplays that woula not, happen one time in a hundred. ‘The people of Boston were so worked up in sympathy over the defeat of Mathewson that Mayor Fitzgerald delivered a speech in Faneuil Hall in which he declared Bix Six the real hero of the series. rson's resord of thirteen seasons fm the major | cague is one that will probably never ve equalled. Though he has been with the Giants that number of years, he has really worked only twelve seasons, as he joined the club in the late summer of 1900, HIS THREE GAMES AGAINST THE ATHLETICS. Aside from his regular work of help- tng to win four pennants for the Giants, Mathewson has taken part in three world's series and two post-season eeries. One of those, the famous frost Detween the Giants and Red Sox, eed @id not draw enough spectators for the games to be played at the Polo Grounds, ts not to be seriously consid- ered. Even at that Matty won his first Game and was lator defeated. ‘His most wonderful performance was t the Athletics in 1905, when he pitched three games in one week and did net edlow the Philadelphia club a single ‘run, No other pitcher has even come Close to that. His next important work ‘was against the Hishlanders in 1910, when he pitched three games and won well as finishing up an- other game st ‘Im the world’s series of 1911 he kept up hig Bnbroken record by deating the Ath- Jeticas the first game of that famous eertes. The break came when he lost the second to the Athletics, after having fhekd them to a shut-out for eight In- ings. One drive from Baker's bat changed the complexion of the game e101 ta ty most amazing feature of Math- ewson's work is that his most wonder- ful exhibitions of pitching have re- sulted in defeat. The umpires wh worked behind him in the recent se- ries eay that the baseball world has never seen anything like the pitching Of Mathewson in the three games, though he not win one, The Na- tional League officials had seen him work before and so had Evans of the American League, but it was @ revela. then to Silk O'Loughlin. e in amazement,” said wes going back, but that is not true, I never saw anything like the kind of pall that he pitched, I had heard of tt, but I could not realize it until I stood there and watched the break on the watls, ao well as bis perfect control, It YALE WARRIORS CHEER UP orp SCOUT!

In the three games pitched against Boston only two runs were earned against Mathewson and even at that perfect fielding would havo resulted in three shut-outs, The Giants made nine runs behind him, all earned, but in the crucial moment an unfortunate error would arise and everything would go for naught, | The fans as a rule do not realize th fine work of a pitcher when he los This time it was so apparent that it could not be overlooked and to-day Mathewson has the sympathy of the en- \tire United States. rT ‘An evidenc that a dozen theatrical man- | agers hat vaudeville at a higher figure than he/ been after him to go into received two years ago. Matty has de- | clined all such offers and steadfastly | maintains that he will never appear before the footlights again. He does not care for the theatrical business, even with the chance of making quite a sum of money. He wants to go on a long hunt and will let nothing interfere. ERRORS HAVE BEATEN MATTY BEFORE. For @ year or more it seems that Mat- ty has been under the influence of some hoodoo. In the last six games that he has lost, every one of these has resulted from eome simple error that came up at a critical moment, On the last West- ern trip with the Glants, for instance, when the fa re saying that he was all in, he lost three games through the dropping of easy fly dalle by Beals Becker, At other times these errors would never have been noticed, but it so happened that they fitted tn just right to bring abodt defeat. The impression that M heart over his 4 ries and that he has unkind feelings toward Snodgrass or Merkle 1s far trom the truth, He looks upon those things Asa mere “break” of the game and has no censure for any one. As a matt@ot tact {t was Matty who aid more to con- sole the other players after the defeat than any other man. He and McGraw took 1t good naturedly and went about the train patting the other fello the shoulders and telling them to ‘ up” and laugh, ‘To give you an den of the lon heart- edness of this great pitcher and the ab- sence of resentment from his make-up a | | ‘brace DIAGRAM SHOWING How MaTTY \S_ WORRYING AND GRIEVING OVER THE. Loss OF THE WORLDS SERIES brief conversation with him immediately after the Red Sox had won might prove Interesting, The players and scribes hotel about the ba. playei dress hurriedly #0 as atch a special train, “Say! yelled Matty as he caught sight of one of the newspaper men, “I want to #ee you a minute, Got some 00d news for you, Come up to the room.” In the elevator he appeared to be bubbling over with good humor, “I have just seen Tom Keller,” he ex- plained, “and he says that hunting pre- serve of thetrs down &n North Carolina will be ready for gunners about the first of November and he has invited you and me to o down there. Be sure and get ready. We'll have a great time. On ‘the train Matty met Mr. Keller, and they talked over the plans of the hunting trip with the pleasant antl pation of two boys. Just then a porter came tn and said that Payne Whitney, who was in a private car attached to the train, wanted to seo Mathewson a minute, Matty went back and Joined the party, and after reviving their spirits, sat down and played bridge with them for two hours, Coming back through the car he saw nodgrass in the dumps and went >ver and tried to console him, “What's the use of bothering about a thing ike that?” he said, ‘‘Dhose things are Hable to happen at any time, and the fates were simply against s, You fellows fought hard to pull me out, and that's all we cap ask.’ ' © ~ HERE Comes A COUPLE OF MY FRIENDS MERK - NING WORLD, & ia ObCK HU om Copyright, 1912, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York World).
