DOUBLE BILL FOR
CRACKERS TODAY.

MEMPHIS. TENN, June 24-The
Crackers mingle with the Turtles in a
double header here this afternoon. Sit
ton will probably oppose Kissinger in
The first game, while Dessau and Mer-
rift are slated to do the box work in the
closing stanza
Rain prevented the game scheduled
here yesterday, hence the double bill
this afternoon. The first contest will
start at 2:30 o'clock
First Baseman Agler is expected to
join the team here today or tomorrow.
He will probably not get into action UNI
til the Crackers return home Wednes-
day however as he will need a rest
after a long train ride.
Pitcher Mayer will not join the
Crackers for some time yet, If at all.
Portsmouth refuses to turn him back
to Hemphill, and the Atlanta club must
wait until Secretary Farrell of the ma
tional association rules where the hurl-
err belongs.

Matty Still Premier Hurler,
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 volition
and drop it the moment he is con-
WINGED that he is slipping. Still
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-es 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 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 lant
figure of the blonde right -handr
could always be seen in the out
field warming up. and the cN
"Mathewson now pitching for New
York" was familiar one to tie
Polo ground crowd
1t will be a sad loss to baseball
when Matty quits. but it will ie
a sadder loss to the Giants.
Mathewson certainly still has III
his wonderful control, and COZ
troll has been one of the secrets "
his success. You win find, on COZ
sulting his record last year thh
he gave but 38 bases on balls n
As games. of which % games wee
started and completed by the bg
fellow. He was charged with but
Two wild pitches in all that service
Marquard gave 100 bases on BAH
In the same number of games
Matty pitched and delivered ter
wild pitches Alexander. for in
stance gave 227 bases on balls.
