WILL NEVER BEAT
CY YOUNG S RECORD
Christy Mathewson Says No One
viii Ever Win as Many Games
as Veteran.

NEW YORK. Sept 2l-While trav-
cling on a tram last week, Mathewson,
sometimes dubbed Blk Six, had some
thing of interest to say about Old Cy
Young s famous record. Mathewson has
been pitching phenomenal baseball these
several years. but is still far behind
Young in point of total games won.
When asked If ne had any hope of
equaling or beating Cy's record, his re-
ply vas;
sees a man who can preserve his arm
and retain his cunning for twenty
years, To do what Young has done
Il pitcher must have everything break
right for him. ! don t mean 10 say
that luck has been the great factor in
Young IS success, but unless he had been
with winning teams the greater part of
his career many of his wlld-pitched
games would have gone the other way
This line of conversation led to n dis.
cusslon of tho comparatively brief ca.
reers of Il majority of winning pitchers.
Somebody remarked that Matty was do
ing pretty well for n young fellow, and
that he had the best chance TO equal
foung's record some day Big Six mod,
estly shook his head.
81 We worked pretty hard for ten
years. he declared, "and Eve lust
this season turned in my 250th victory.
1t doesn't seem possible that I can go
along ten years more and be as cousis-
tent n winner. Even if held out that
long | probably would be with few
second. division teams, and that would
spoil my chance for record. No, old
Cy' n wonder. and / don t think any
OF US will ever see his equal for length
of service and continued effectiveness. -
Mutty has pitched 367 games for the
Giants since he broke into the league.

Another change. which was made for
the purpose OF Strengthening the de
