worlds championships have been.
Mathewson was the central figure.
The intense strain of pitcher
working the last innings of a no-hit
game and the effect on crowd is one
of the interesting things in baseball.
Mathewson was working under such
strain in the last and decisive contest
OF the 1905 championship. The great
crowd OF fans appreciated fully his
wonderful pitching and followed
every move he made with breathless
suspense.
When Matty had defeated the Ath.
letics leading southpaw. Eddie Plank,
in the first game by shut-out score,
when he had plastered on another
coat of whitewash in the third game,
one thought ruled above all else as
the Gotham fans filled the Polo
grounds for the last contest, Oct. IA
Many who had remained away from
preceding contests came out to watch
Mathewson set up new record
AS each batsman faced big Six"
the vast throng was breathless with
expectancy. AS each victim went
down to defeat before matchless
twirling the eNultant rooters beaved a
sigh of relief. Their hero was ap-
preaching nearer and nearer to the
goal of lasting fame.
Cheers following the breaking up of
Bender's great pitching in the fifth
inning became hushed before the spell
of Mathewson's wonderful battle of
nerve and brain to outwit his oppo-
nents and achieve great ambition.
The crisis came in the New York
fifth. A shudder of fear pervaded
the fans when Mike Powers met one
of Matty's curves with a crash that

1t began when the French were still

The ordinary slide can be handled by
one shovel, and this is so even when
the slide is a long one, At Las Cas-

slide 100 times going back and forth
and chewing off its toes as they were

There is a big slide on the west side
OF the cut near Culebra which covers
Is acres and another on the east side
north of Gold Hill, where about Il
acres have broken OFF, beginning LOO
feet back from the center line Of the
canal. So far an area something Ike
l5l acres of slides has been taken
out, and there are many acres still in
motion. Col Gaillard, who has seen
the glaciers OF Alaska, tells me that
these slides move just like them The
earth flows down the slOping surface
of the bed rock, the lateral support
of the masses having been removed
by the digging. 1t is just as though the
earth were made Of molasseS and held
back by dams at the sides. These dams
were taken away by the digging Of
the canal.

In addition TO these surface slides or

Of rock into the canal The masses do
not come from the top, but from the
strata of which the canal banks are
made. Sometimes they come from be-
up in humps through IL, oyerturning

During my walk through the cut
