MATHEWSON IS
FOOTBALL FAN
Declares Gridiron Sport the Greatest
He Ever Played, and Says 4 Would
Rather Play One Game Of Football
Than Dozen Of Baseball

Christy Mathewson. the big gun OF
the Giants. Is supposed to favor two
pastimes In the realm OF sport The
first OF these Is baseball. the next
checkers. In both of which Christy is
a champion.
But, on the other hand. neither base
ball nor the game OF checkers holds
the highest spot in Christyfs esteem.
II Is said. Despite the fact that he
has achieved the highest niche In all
pitching halls of fame. the Giant star
picks football as the greatest game
he over played.
"rd rather play one good. game OF
football" Matty replied TO a query
along this line, than dozen games
OF baseball, checkers or anything else,
I'm not knocking baseball. It's a
great game. and has done more than
It's share for me. But for al that,
I've never drawn the thrill nor the
pleasure from II used to get In a

he has always been In baseball" said
an old college chum of Matty's who
furnished few interesting sidelines
upon his work on the gridiron. He
was always the first man on the held
and the last man to leave.
Long after the others had quit on
around dusk. Matty was still out there
practicing drop kicks and pnnting up
and down the field. He would work
from different angles and different
distances TO be prepared for any, sort
OF emergency.
he not only played the game, but
studied II all the time, studied II Just
as he has studied baseball. II has
always been a Mathewson character
istic that no matter what he went TO,
he went to II with everything he had.

In recounting the best play he ever
gave vent to In football, Matty lays
the scene of Il at West Point.
Eve were playing the Army that
day" reminisced Matty, and the
game was q tight one. Finally we
got the ball on their 47-yard line, over
near the left side OF the held, upon
the third down.
