.NATTY AND CHESBRO
ARE AGAIN IN FORM
Two Famous TWirlerS ReaS-
Sert Their Worth in the
Baseball World.
TOOK MEDICINE BRAvELY
Both Now in Old Time Shape and W:ll
Be Factors in Race for
Pennant

NEW YORK, July THE rehabillta-
tiou Of Christopher Mathewson and
John Chesbro IS the subject that at
tracts the attention OF the baseball
crauks Of the metropolis. 1t is also the
cause Of considerable wonderment.
The opinion had gained ground that
neither OF these TWO celebrated curve
specialists would be Of much value to
their teams this season. and there was
much speculation as 70 whether either
OF the New York teams would cut much
OF a figure n the pennant races OF their
respective leagues without the services
of these eminent strikeout artists.
Mathewson in Weak Condition.
Both men were utterly ineffective at the
beginning OF the pennant race. and Ma
thewson was. in the more serious straits
owing 10 the weakening effects OF an at
tack OF nasal diphtheria, which had lefs
him without sufficient strength TO even
play ball. let alone pitch. in the opera
ton Of which a man needs all the vigor
and power at his command.
His early attempts to pitch were dis
heartening. and patrons Witnessed the
unusual spectacle Of the great Matty
being knocked out OF the box. But he
took his medicine bravely and kept on
tossing the ball about until he gradu-
ally regained most Of his former
strength,
Both Going Well Now.
ThereupOn he began to pitch with
some OF his former vigoT. and his last
few games have been nearly as good as
he showed at any time last season In
fact II would appear that Matty is him
self again. and that the Giants will
have the benefit of his wonderful skill
from this time out.
In the case OF Chesbro. while he was
not sick like Mathewson. yet he was
unable to pitch with the effectiveness
that had characterized him in the sea
son OF 1904, and also IN the opening
weeks of the season OF 1906. He was
Ineffective at the opening OF the present
season. although there was no question
that he was iT excellent physical con
dition. having trained faithfully last
spring IN the South. Yet he was unable
to pitch with effect. and he was beaten
just as regularly as he went into the
box

NOTES OF THE NoT-ABLES

Mil drew four wide ones for his first
two turns at bat. On the second oc-
casiCn two strikes had been called before
he decided on his wait-aWhile policy.
Stahfs fielding won applause from the
crowd throughout the game. In the
fifth he robbed Eubank OF an almost
certain hit by a phenomenal one-hand
running stop of a sizzling grounder
back Of first.
Mcintyre became quite peevish in the
sixth when Tim called the first over a
strike. While he was manlfestlng his
displeasure Kitson shot another across,
and followed up with another swift toss
that Hurst called a ball Mcintyre
then framed up the crafty scheme OF
stopping strikes by standing on the
plate. Kitson beat him TO II by knock
ing the bat from under his arm with
center shot. and The arbiter pro-
nounced the batter out Mac begged TO
differ and wanted to tr,, II over again.

The February American Magazine is
an automobile number. The leading
article. ''The Heart of the Automo-
bile" by Leroy Scott, is most enter
tanning account of what has happened
in the automobile world since English
law obliged a man with a red flag to
walk before every motor allowed loose
in q public place. 1t also contains a
complete illustrated description of
every 1906 pleasure car-all facts and
figures. Among the other articles is
Henry Kitchell Webster's ''The Square
Deal with Children" an account of the
work of Judge Mack and the Chicago
Juvenile Court-a story of intense
human interest. The second of W. S.
Harward's articles on ''The Mastery of
the Earth" appears in this number,
and c. II. Caffin continues his series
with paper on contemporaneous
American painting. The short stories
of the month are fully up to the Ameri-
cans standard. Among the authors
are Richard Washburn Child, w. B. M.
Ferguson, Dorothy Garfield, Charles
Battell LOOMS, Charles c. Lofquest
and w. Bates Adams. Miss Cholmon-
deley's serial, Prisoners" is hit.
The February Atlantic presents an
unusual variety of timely articles.
Nathaniel S. Shaler, the veteran geolo-
gist and man of letters, contributes
notable paper upon Exploration, set
ting forth something Of the history of
exploration in the past and pointing
out its present status as a science. The
paper is at once very informing and un-
commonly picturesque. William Ever
EFT contributes searching study
of the present status and effectiveness
of the United States Senate. There is
a helpful article upon Industrial Sc
curities as Investments, by Cha rles A.
Conant, treasurer of the Morton Trust
Company. Jesse w. Weik has an able
paper upon the independent telephone
movement. There is an interesting
summary of the important events of
the year in Letter from Mexico by
Frederic R. Guernsey, editor of the
Mexican Herald. Among the literary
and historical papers especially notable
are the first of Andrew D. Whites re-
markable historical studies of the
craftsmanship of Turgot; Pianists Now
and Then, by w. J. Henderson; and
Eliana; the Latest Windfall, by w. c.
Hazlitt, which contains an interesting
set of letters of Charles Lamb which
have never before been in print. There
are some excellent stories by such
writer's as Maarten Martens, Latta
Griswold and Henry A. Beers, and
poetry by Henry van Dyke and Fannie
S. Davis.
