PITCHERS RECORD.
Luby Holds 1t, but MatthewsOn May
Break In.

In commencing on the wonderful work Of
young Matthewson, the New York clubs
pitcher, the Chicago Chronicle says: All
wonder If by any possibility he can break
the National League record, made by Jack
Luby eleven years ago. Luby won twenty
straight, and thereby set a mark which
pitchers through all the succeeding years
have shot at without the least semblance
Of success" The erroneous inference has
been drawn from this paragraph that Luby
was a success a National League pitcher
from the day he Joined the Chicago club
and that his string of victories was not
broken until his twenty-first game. Luby,
VINO was a Texas League graduate, along
with his catcher. Jake Stencil pit ched his
first game for Chicago on June IL, 1890,
against the despised Pittsburgs, and lost.
On June IS he lasted three innings against
chicago, and on June "a was cannonaded
for fifteen hits by New York. His record
for the season was twenty victories and
eight defeats. On October 3, the day before
the season closed he pitched his twentieth
consecutive victory. New York was his last
victim, the score being ito 2. The record
shows that Chicago gave Luby faultless
support, while fVe errors were made be-
hind Rusie. The base hits were three for
Chicago and nine-thrfE times as many
for New York. Matthawsdn also made
poor start in fast COMPANY. According to
pitched two National Lsag1e games In 1900,
Brooklyn, and lost both He has Shown Shown
splendid form this season, but his most ar
dent admirers do NOT ahticipate that his
string of victories will auua1 that of Luby

New York or any other club may refuse to
play for any such reason"
When the above was shown to Andrew
Freedman he said, with considerable en-
phasis:
Mr.. Hart may protest till he is blue In
the face, and may claim enough forfeits to
pay the national debt. The New York club
will not pay any forfeits or forfeit any
games. l have got through submitting to
the tomfoolery of the men who have made
base ball ridiculous for a decade
Il have served notice on all the club
presidents, and also on Young, giving them
ample time in which to act. There is moth
ing to prevent them having other umpires
assigned to the games in question. and any
other action must be accepted as a deter
minatton to antagonize the New York club
To hear j. A. Hart talk one would think
he had never insisted the removal Of
an umpire. He certainly has, and on slight
pretext.
But let Mr.. Hart proceed with his policy
or antagonism to New York and see where
he will land.
He and other obstructionists are always
prepared with some technicalities of base
pail law to bolster up their schemes, but
they will avail nothing In the present in
stance. l am determined that New York
shall have fair play. and unless 1 get it the
league may as well say goodbye to New
York.
In case Hart enters a protest the board
of directors. consisting of Freedman. So
den. Brush and Dreyfuss, will decide the
matter.
