Why MatheWson Wins.

A big husky, quiet, light-haired
youngster was breaking in with the
New York Giants. He was pitching.
Now he shot the sphere across the
plate so swiftly that it seemed merely
flash of light. A moment later he
tossed it so slowly that it foated
through the air like miniature bal
loon. Other players, at bat, swung and
missed with monotonous regularity.
big siX-footer," observed a regular
to Van Haltren.
the veteran.
And "Big-Six" Matty it has been
| from that day to this.
"Christy" Mathewson's first name is
Christopher, but being of modest, re-
firing nature, he prefers to be called
| "Matty." I've heard people who never
got within fifty yards of Matty say
that he has a big head" There
never was a more mistaken statement.
in spite OF his great and long contin-
ued success, Matty is absolutely with
out trace of conceit. He's big, fine,
clean living fellow, great ball player,
and a good business man, and as popu-
lar as pay day among the men who
work with him at the polo grounds.
Matewson began his athletic career
at Bucknell college, in Pennsylvania.
First he was a football player, and a
corker at that. They still talk at West
Point about a forty-fve yard field goal
that Matty kicked in a Bucknell-West
point game. In one game against
Pennsylvania he kicked two field goals
and in that day the rules didn't favor
the art of kicking as much as they
do now. A curious thing about Mat
tvs kicking was the fact that he could
score with either foot.
After wearing the football laurels
for a while Matty began pitching on
his college team. He was a success
at once. There never was greater
college pitcher. When he was through
with his course of study professional
clubs in the minor leagues began bid
ding for his services.
Matty thought it over and decided tC
turn professional for a while. First
he signed up with league team in
Massachusetts. They didn't like Mat
tvs pitching up there. Can you beat
it? Matty left and went to Norfolk
Va. He signed with Norfolk for 6
salary of $40 month.
They have that old contract framed
now and conspicuously placed on the
Office wall They use it as a club ovel
