 from Philadelphia in 1905 he pitched @ shutout and was acclaimed the hero of the series. In the past six years he has grown in the confidence of the New York fans, and while his most ardent admir- CTS can hardly expect him to repeat so remarkable an achievement, he is ex- pected to render good account of himself Mathewson is a native Pennsylvanian, and for one brief period was member of the team he now opposes, but for the better part of 10 years he has been with the Giants" He first attracted atten- ton at Bucknell university, and his first professional berth was on the Taunton nine of the New England league. Twice the big fellow has pitched no hit games. In 1908 he was credited with 37 of the Giants victories. He won more than two-thirds of the games he pitched this year. He is 31 years old.
 Notwithstanding the confidence still placed in him. it is likely that he will have less of chance to figure as a hero in the present series, as his big left handed pitching mate, "Rube" Mar quard, and Mattys junior by eight years, has won championship distinction. The young "southpaw, whose services cost McGraw sl1,000. proceed good invest ment, for it is mainly due to his phenom- tnal pitching that the "Giants'' are in a position to face the Athletics" for the title. He has won 24 and lost only six games this season.
