CHRISTOPHER MATHEWS0N A
PITCHER AND A
FIELDER, -

Christopher Mathewson Of the New
York National League Baseball club is
without doubt the greatest twirler Who
has toed the rubber for many day, and
while the puzzling character of his
pitching is now sufficiently we'll known
to render additional comment unneces-
sary, the Buckneil boy, however, does
not depend solely on his pitching. He is
a. fielder of the first rank. and in that
branch of the work excels any pitcher
in the country.
Not only does he stop the hottest
grounders that come his way, but he
has made large number of one handed
jumping stops that were truly sensa-
tional.
He, however has made some plays
that few pitchers attempt. Blunt hits
that have rolled down the third base line
fifteen Or twenty feet have been gath
cred by him and runners thrown out
when such a feat seemed impossible.
Owing to his swift and accurate throw
ing he has caught many speedy runners
who would have beaten an ordinary
throw to the base.
Mathewson is very quick in starting
for a bunt hit and considering his size
he handles himself like an acrobat. He
will prevent many a run by his fine
fielding before the season is over.
That the phenomenal youngster will
prove lasting success there can be lit
tie doubt. Physically he is one of the
finest specimens of manhood ever seer
on ball field Standing feet tall. he
weighs 100 pounSs and carries no su-
perfluous flesh. He Is apparently a
young man of excellent habits, and Twill
no doubt avoid the pitfalls of dissipation
into which so many promising pitchers
have fallen. =
With continued good habits, he should
be able, If he SO desires, to equal orsex-
eel the long record Of men like Nicholas
Rusie, Young ct al, who pitched sue
cessfully for decade. -
| Mathewson has another advantage IN
that he does not depend solely on one
style of delivery. He constantly varies
| his style of pitching, and thus does not
! subject any set of muscles to severe
strain. He delivers a puzzling drop
curve, which he supplements with e
high inshoot and a slow drop. Control
of the ball, and ability to send It over
| the plate Is strong factor in his sue
cess. He changes pace with good re-
suits. and considered from all points OF
view, is the most consistently puzzling
pitcher on the diamond today.
Slab men are not as rule good hit
| ters. In fact most of them are decidedly
weak with the stick. Mathewson has
good batting eye and hits the ball fire.
uuently AS a baserunner he Is but fair
| However, a man who can pitch as he
does could be forgiven If he were defi-
Gent in all other respects. His loss to
the New Yorks at the present time
would be irreparable, and it would seem
| to be the course of wisdom for him to
| avoid taking desperate chances OF IN
| jury in sliding to bases. as he did In
| recent game.

1t was expected that the team would

IT KILLED YOUR BROTHER"
The Grewsome but True Story Edwin
Booth Once Told.

The late Edwin Booth and Lawrence
Barrett were close personal friends of
Stuart Robson. During the off, season
of affairs theatrical Robson often en-
tertained his distinguished collea CUES at
his summer home on Long Island. On
one such occasion the trio, after dinner.
took their seats on the piazza, when
Booth, as usual lapsed into silent rev.
erie. While tn others began to relate
stories anent professional experiences.
Finally the conversation turned on
''deadheads." Robson had just finished
an especially funny tale about one Of
these managerial bette noirs when the
deep voice of Booth was heard thus:
II think. gentlemen, that l can give
you an anecdote about Of the tribe that
is probably unique"
Let's hear it, Edwin, by all means"
said Barrett.
Booth flxed his sombre eyes on the
sunset and began: 1T was during the
first visit I made to the South after the
close of the civil war. We were playing
in a little town in Alabama. In my
mail one morning found letter which
ran something like this:
Dear Sir-My wife and self have al
ways been great admirers OF you. We
want to see you play very much. but
cannot AFFORD to Duy our tickets. VIII
you please send US couple of seats? I
am sure you will not refuse this request
when l tell you that I am the United
States soldier who shot and killed your
brother,t who assassinated Presiden
Lincoln
II investigated and found that the
mans statement was correct.
Booths auditors gasped as his tragic
tones doomed out the unexpected sequel
to the tale. There was a dead silence
for a full minute. Then Robson managed
to ask: What did you do, Edwin"
IT sent him the tickets" answered the
actor, his eyes still fixed on the glowing
western horizon.
The gruesome recital had beer made
without a trace of emotion, save for a
deepening of the gloom which marked
Booths facial expression from the day
of the tragedy. Robson told the writer
that the actor unquestionably realized
that If his brother had reached Wash
ington alive he would have met ter
rible fate at the mands of the mob. and
hence he felt grateful to the man who.
with rifle ball, averted this possi-
bility.-Woman's Home Companion.
