New York, Oct. 2:--Now that the
baseball season Of 1911 is fast draw
ing to a close the experts who have
been handing out boosts to the Mar
guards and Alexanders have ex-
hausted their supply. The search
tight which for months has shed
ove acres of young pitchers finds 1t
focused on one small spot. In the
center of this spot is Clarity Math-
ewson, the Giants star pitcher. AS
has been the case for eleven years,
Matty la still the mainstay Of the
Giants. Although the Giants have
not as yet cfnched the pennant, they
have q good lead and Will win out.
True, Matty is not the pitcher he was
q few years ago, but he Is still one
Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-10-02

OF the best. In the coming worlds
series McGraw expects to use big
Six" three times against the Ath1et-
les. Upon the shoulders OF this blond
gentleman most of the Giants
chances rest. McGraw recently stated
that Matty was the greatest money"
pitcher In the business. When any
thing fs at stake he is In a class by
himself. During the worlds cham
pionship series of 1905, when the
Giants played the Athletics, Mathew
son pitched four Of five games, and
the Athletics did not score off him.
When he faced the Highlanders last
fell he won four straight sames and
the championship. In the SHINY at
tended Boston series two years ago
Matty pitched two games and was
beaten once. 1t Is inteseting to note
the change that q period of six years
has brought In the appearance of
Mathewson. Even IL he does fail to
win from the athletics, Matty is en-
titled to q place In basebairs hall of
fame.

SALE OF RED CROSS SEALS.
Million Stamps Placed With National

Body for Prevention Of tuberculosis.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Oct. 1.-THE state de-
partment on tuberculosis will conduct
the campaign for the sale of Red Cross
seals this year. An order for a million
seals has been placed with the national
association for the study and preven-
ton OF tuberculosis and will be used az
a method Of extending the educational
work on tuberculosis. A large num-
Der of cities and towns handled the
seals last yea with gratifying
results and it is expected that this year
the sales of these stamps will be con-
Quoted in many more cities and towns
thruout h state.
The national association for the
study and prevention OF tuberculosis
furnishes the seals, requiring but 12n
per cent Of the money realized in their
sale and permitting the return of all
unsold seals. This allows S1ia per cent
to remain in the community where the
stamps are sold.
This department will not realize my
money from the seals but on the other
hand will eXpend quite a sum in stirnu-
lating their sale. The stamps sell at l
cent each and are placed on the re-
verse side of letters and Christmas
packages. They are intended for the
purpose of raising money to be used
locally in the SUPPRESSION or relief OF
tuberculosis.
