TOW long will Christy Mathew
son last as big league star?
The permanent passing of
old Cy Young from the big league
leaves but a single man believed
to have any sort OF chance to equal
the famous Ohioan's pitching rec
ord, and already fandom is looking
at that man askance
Every time Big Six" loses a
game nowadays the question is ask
ed: rs Matty going back?" Lit
tie attention is paid to his win
nings. Gotham Is accustomed to
seeing him win; it is only when
he drops a game that he attracts
attention
Some contended that Matty's
curves are not breaking in the old
way. and that he is slowly but
surely retrograding, but you cant
get ball players to take any stock
in that theory. A poll of the big
league would probably reveal the
interesting fact thata the players
themselves still believe that Big
SIX" is the premier boxman of the
time.
AS matter OF fact, the ques-
ton of Matty's efficiency will prob
ably not be settled in any one, or
perhaps. even two seasons, when it
is settled Surprising he should
show a decline this year-it might
be merely one of those periods to
which every bali player is subject
an off" year-and next season
he might show a complete reversal
Of form.
Mathewson is now 81 years of
age He began pitching when he
was nineteen years old, and most
of his pitching has been in the big
league. Yet at 81 he is spoken of
by the average fan as a decrepit old
man-"Old Christy Mathewson."
To equal Cy Young's record. Mat
ty would have to keep going for
the next ten years at better than
average speed.

Matty Still Premier Huler,
Claim Of Big League Batters

termine the question of Mathew
sons efficiency when the time
comes is Mathewson himself.
Those who know the big blonde
believe that he will eventually
drop baseball of his own volitior
and drop It the moment he is con-
WINGED that he is slipping Still. a
ball player is never able to tell
with the same degree of certainty
as his manager when the slip has
commenced
Matty has been outstanding his
strength for some years past In
any game he pitches, the hitting is
likely to be plentiful especially by
the opposition. as the big fellow de-
ponds much on his support In
some of his games this spring,
when that support has failed him
and runners have thronged the
base line. Big Six" has opened
out and pitched with all his old
wizardry
He is not much Of an early sea-
son pitcher. but beginning late he
usually winds UP figuring in a ma
iority of the contests engaged in
by the Giants, particularly if the
race is close. This season McGraw
is able to give his famous star more
rest between games than ever be-
fore. The rise of the Marquard
star has given the leader Of the
Giants considerable leeway in his
pitching staff.
Heretofore, in time of peril, when
a pitcher was going bad the lank
figure of the blonde right handler
could always be seen in the out
field warming up. and the cry
"Mathewson now pitching for New
York was a familiar one to the
Polo ground crowd
1T will be a sad loss to baseball
when Matty quits. but it will be
a sadder loss to the Giants.
Mathewson certainly still has all
his wonderful control, and con-
troll has been one of the secrets Of
his success. You viii find, on con-
sulting his record last year. that
he gave but SO bases on balls in
As games. of which 90 games were
started and completed by the big
fellow. He was charged with but
two wild pitches in all that service
Marquard gave 100 bases on balls
in the same number of games.
Matty nitChed and delivered ten
wild pitches. Alexander, for in
stance gave 227 bases on balls.
