~ DFOLARES FAMOUS PITCHER “Big Six” Says All Twirlers Will Try to Slow Ball Yank Star to Death Next Season, but He Can Cross Them if He Fol- lows His Advice. By Bozeman Bulger. ATTY looked pretty good as he came down the corridor, He was easily overwe.ght—around 216 pounds. Stopping at a lounge in the hotel hall he sat down. His one Strange act was to adjust a big pair of tortoise shell spectacles and serl- ously regard what seemed like a pair of dice in the design of the carpet. “Say, be said with a reminiscent laugh, “you know I haven't tried to Make a third pass with the bones in six years. Brings back old times, @oesr t it?” Matty came out of the room to talk because Mrs, Mathewson was dress- fing fc: dinner. “You think this new lively ball {s upsetting the pitching?” I asked, “Anything will upset the pitching,” he sald, “when they let che batter Get byld of the ball, It makes no difference whether it's a lively ball or &n old fashioned one, they've got to got hold of it to smack it. Right?’ “Babe Ruth didn't get hold of one.’ “Yes, but he will. That bird bit the longest long fly in the last series that I ever saw in my life. You remember the one that Tiuker hit over Cy Seymour's head ‘n that play-off game with the Cubs, in 1908? Cy Played away back and then missed ft. Lemme tell you something: On this cne bit by the Babe to Cunningham—well, ff Cy had beca that far back he would have had to run in fifty yards to have caught Tinker's ®nash—that's how far out {t was.” “The fellows tell mo,"* 1 reminded ¢@————_—_ him, “that the pitchers arg up against it with the lively ball because they're hot allowed to rough the surface and Mt often slips out of their hands.” “Dayne,” ne said,)**put that sounds Uke the old gag \of the infielders bout a pebble making the ball boun: Wrong.

In the old days if a batter took a Hornsby, Williams, Ruth— all of them—are taking that long swing simply trying to hit home-runs That's it."* “Feel like you'd like to get in there again?" “Sure, but I won't. I'm getting mighty good at that. You know," he added, exhibiting his 200 pounds of weight, “1 am a full-exercise mas now. Know what that means?

Brocco and Coburn started a terrifie jam just after midnight, and after twenty minutes, of heartbreaking rid- ing uliet and Belloni and Brocco and Coburn lapped the entire fleld. ‘The sprint ended when Freddie Bll, Harry Horan and Alf Grenda went down In a tangle of broken wheels on the 26th Street bank.

All told, the Jam lasted half an hour, a record for the race The jam started with Broeco and Coburn jumping out with rapid changes for a substantial rain, Verraes and Hill caught them and then McNamara and Grenda went out to do a little Jamming on thelr own account. Then Goullet and Belloni put om thi real fireworks. They raced into a half lap lead ahead, and with Brocco and Coburn closing in on them the pair lapped the field, carrying the game Brocco with them, Goullet thought that his partner was 9 joke, but Belloni proved to be a great sticker and he made marvellous pick-ups with the fiy- ing Goullet. Verraes and Hill rode gal- lantly, but cculd not keep up the pace.
