None ¢¢ the other star pitchers is anywhere near Matty’s record of games won, and none of them has pitched anywhere near as many games, It rarely occurs t» the fans how astonishing Matty'’s performance really is, because they are used to it. For instance, the average fan in comparing other pitchers with Matty does not take into consideration the fact that big Six, in poet of service, jg now the ranking player in the biz league, with the possible exception of Hans Wagner. In other words, Matty is the only pitcher in the game to- day who was in it at the time he started. He has outlasted them all, Since Mathewson first became fa- mous pitchers like Miner Brown have come afd gone; have risen to dissy heights only to slide back and finally drop into the minors, ‘But Matt; goes right on doing as good worl now as ho did when they were start- in.

Dick Burge, the English fight promoter, intends to stage the bout and has offered a purse of $20,000, Tom McArdle, matchmaker of the Stadium A.

They're only about half a domn, Of this number McLoughlin and Williains are certainties, What chance this country has of retaining the world's championship will rest on these two stars, who will do the bulk of play- ing against the challenging nation. The Davie Cup Committee must etill pick a doubles team, which meane @ suitable partner for Mc- Loughlin, and a reserve man for the singles, The committee complains that the recent inclement weather has prevented a good test of all play- ers who reported for the tryouts. The tournaments at Westchester and Kea Bright, however, succeeded in reduc- ing the big fleld of candidates, Most of the racquet wielders had more ani- bition than real internatgonal class, and they early dropped out. One by one players who many be- Meved had fine prospects of being nominated for the defending team have been eliminated. The veteran Clothier, who at times showed flashes of his 1905 championship form, was forced out because he couldn't stand the swift pace. Then there was Lindley Murray, the nine- teen-year-old California youth, who atartied the East with his playing @ month ago. While the committee hasn't made its official selection yet, several of the members sald privat ly that Murray was a comer, put his youth and lack of experience would show him at a disadvantage in the international matches, It is entirely possible Murray will be heard of next season when it comes time to pick, an international team, but rdly this year, RHEUMATISM PUT LARNED OUT OF THE RUNNING.

William Johnston of California is another dashing player, and it is doubtful if he and McLoughlin could regulate their speed so as not to interfere with each other. BUNDY BEST UNDERSTANDS M’LOUGHLIN’S STYLE. Bundy, on the oth and, while his game 1s far from its best form, un- derstands McLoughil' ame better than any one in the country, He is simply a feeder for the California Comet.

Even McLoughiin'’s service didn’t have its terrific speed, and both players were often guilty of netting too many balls, but these faults can be all fixed up before it comes time for playing the doubles in the international matches, There was a big exodus of players and members of the cup committee from Sea Bright last night after the challenge round was finished in the afternoon, which R. Norris Williams won, defeating T. R. Pell in a hard- fought five set match, 6—4, 4—6, 4—6, 6—3, 6—3.
