McGraw. | er of New York Nationals.) OME time ago, a year or #0, when Christy Mathewson was first starting to fade, he was told by the New York club that he could re- main with the Giants as long as he wanted to, After the Cincinnati trade was proposed I was averse to letting Matty go to the Reds, even as much as I wanted Herzog. “Well, I'll tell you, Mac,” remarked Matty in that quiet way of his, ear- Her this summer, “I was figuring on stopping after this eeason and tak- ing up something else, if my arm did not get better. I have not been much good to you or the club @o far tn the race, but I thought to give the wing @ thorough trial the rest of the season, I can't eee drawing my eal- ary without dolng any work.” Matty made this statement to me some time before the Herzog deal came up. Then Herrmann offered to make a trade, including Matty, and I put it up to the Big Fellow. “Cincinnat! will eee. © deal for Herzog, provided Hi Mo can get you to manage the club,” I told Matty. “You know," he answered prompt- ly, “I have always wanted to try my hand at bossing @ ball club when my arm gave out. I'll take a chance on the Reds.” Matty has meant a great deal to my York Leader. club and me, and I could not see him @o without attributing to him much of my success in New York. For yeare be was iny mainstay and the one man I could send into the box and know he would pitch a ball game. Somebody once asked Connie Mack if he had just one game of ball to win which pitcher in all baseball he would rather see start it for him, “Chief Bender,” replied the wily Connie, without hesitation, This was in the days when the Chief waa in his prime, If anybody should ask me to-day who I thought was the greatest one game pitcher that ever lived, I would reply with- out @ second thought. “Christy Mathewson.” hold of a bad ball club, jt in not there, The to be built up slowly. Matty knows baseball, and he knows real talent when he sees it. He also has the faculty of getting along with players, but 1 think he should adopt what I call the “salving” ystem in managing. For years whenever any of the ball players of the Giants have got into an argument they have referred it to Matty for settlement of their own accord and have abided by his judg- ment and sense of fairness, That isa pretty good test of a man around a ball club. And Matty never lost a club house argument in his life, be- cause he can talk loudest. Matty ts still a boy at heart and he will be able to get along with his ball players. But the owners of the team will have to show patience while he builds it up. If they don't, there is no use in biring him, (Copyright, 1016, by John N, Wheeler, Inc.)
