GREAT PITCHERS
STILL UNSIGNED
Walsh and Mathewson Both Outside
Breastworks Though Cases Differ
in Several Respects.

Two OF the greatest pitchers in Am
erica are outside OF the Notifications
of organized baseball both determined
to desert the diamond as a profession
unless their salary demands are ap-
peased. Their names are Mathewson
and Walsh.
Walsh demands a salary OF $1,000
for six months work. He is not worth
his sum, nor is any other player In
the National or American leagues.
Baseball public stands to man with
Comiskey in the latter's refusal to
uccede to such selfish and egetistieai
demand
Contrasted with Walsh's case. that
OF Mathewson's appears to be one OF
equity. The great New York pitcher
has preserved a digr!fed silence, has
never uttered a word for public print,
las made no vain boastings and, we
l:eve has asked for nothing more than
ne is worth. He accompanied the
team south, participated in many of
the preliminary games, has practicad
faithfully since returning TO New
York, and is At 10 perform In the
box the minute the management ac-
cedes to his modest request. On the
uthority OF the New York papers,
Mathewson's contract last year only
called for $4,000. Every one convers-
ant with Mathewson's record VIII ad'
lit that 1t was his superior WORK th
brought the Giants Up TO within one
game OF the championship last fail
and that $4,000 was not consunmen'
surate with his worth as determined
by his work. He is entitled to an In
crease of 81 900 at least, and an extra
bonus OF $500 would not be hardship
on the New York club IL the, Giants
finished high up in the race this year
and his work suffered no deter'jratiM
over that Of 1908. That Matbewson
will! get his increase Is the general
opinion OF those who know the facts
in the case, and he deserves IL.
