HE WAS A TERROR.

In the days of the old association
Allegheny club, Matthews was a ter
ror. The great big fellows who made
up that club were able to hit the fast
pitchers, but were absolutely helpless
before Matthews. He never was speedy
in comparison with the really swift
pitchers but relied upon his curves.
He was one of the Tim Keefe type of
"heady" pitchers, and it was that
which kept him in base ball so long.
There was no desperate wearing out
of muscle. 1t was the killing habits
which finally drove him from the field
The pitching which made him fa-
nous ball player was done years be-
fore, but even in his association days
he was a formidable man in the box.
There are few things which exasperate
a hard-hitter as do those slow, wide
curving balls which seem { have no
landing place, and Of those he was the
great master. Matthews was a man
who was said to have always pitched
with his mad"
He was the greatest pitcher of his
day, and was really the first man to
effectively introduce the curve ball into
the national game. John Cummings
has been credited with discovering the
possibilities of a curved ball, but 1t
was Matthews who first made a sue
cess of it.
Matthews and Cummings put their
heads together and agreed that a curve
ball was a possibility. The former spent
several hours a day for weeks practic-
ing the throwing Of a ball upon curved
lines, and soon became proficient. The
first game that he pitched was sensa-
tional The heavy y-hitting batsmen who
had been rolling up home runs off the
swift underhand pitching were impot-
ent as infants against Matthews curve
pitching. A few scratch hits were
made and the Baltimores won by an
overwhelming score. Other pitchers
took up the problem of curve pitchir G,
but Matthews was alone in his class.
The year after the discovery of the
curve ball the famous Boston team Sc =.
cured Matthews services at a salaly y
of $1,000 for the season. Tha: was a
top-notch figure in those days. Mat
thews later Joined the Providence
Grays, played with the New York Mu-
tuals, and was with the Philadelphia
Athletics when they won The pennant.
When the American asso ciation broke
up Matthews became an umpire in
the Players league, AMI wien the
Brotherhood war ended it also saw the
retirement of the once great Pitcher.
