in the game can tighten up harder
! than Matty does when there are men
on bases Then he really extends
himself. BY reserving his energies in
this manner he can do wonders in a
pinch. Moreover he will last MUCH
longer than he would if he plugged
all the time He's only 80 this month.
A keen analytical mind has Matty.
He plays a great game of poker or
bridge whist He can figure the
chances of any game of skill or luck in
a moment. and then play it scientifi-
cally He carries the same calculating
mind into business. and his invest
ments in stocks. bonds, mortgages. etc,
are making him a rich man. A little
surance business. He made money. If
he left baseball today he'd make good
at anything else. for he has brains. In
this he differs from many other great
athletes. who carry their intellect just
below the ankle
Outside the game he plays profess
sionally MatthewsOn is anything but
sport, as that much abused term is
understood He lives quietly at home
with his family Che has a boy two
years old and his favorite recreation
is grand opera.
You can see from a distance that
Christy MatheWson is quiet and re-
served. But don't for a moment think
that the reserve is sign of, self-con-
ceit. When the giants won the pen
nant they got together and presented
to Matty diamond ring valued at
several hundred dollars Do you think
they would have done that had there
been anything naughty about G.
Mathewson? Not in million years.
Ball players are not built that way.
All ball players like Matty. So do
the umpires. although being generally
so. Matty has never been put out Of
game He is always a gentleman
There was only one time that he came
near taking a walk. That was on one
occasion when Rigler was officiating.
Rigler's decisions on balls and strikes
are not always pleasing. One particu-
larry aggravating decision upset Mat
ty for a moment and he slammed his
glove violently on the ground in dis
jump on him, Matty's college training
came to his aid He rem mbered the
story of William the Conqueror. Will
liam went from the Norman coast to
England few centuries ago, bent on
conquest Going ashore first in full
sight of his troops he happened to
stumple and fall to the ground. This
would have been taken as sure omen
of defeat and would have disheaIt-
ened the army but for Williams quick
wit Selling a handful of cart. he
jumped up again. and exclaimed dfa-
matically: Thus do / take possession
of England
Matty stopped quickly and began
rubbing his hands in the dirt, pretend
ing that his disgust was with his own
fault in letting the ball slip out of
control The ruse succeeded, and he
stayed in the game.
