TOW long will Christy Mathew
son last as big league star?
The permanent passing of
old Cy Young from the big league
leaves but single man believed
to have any sort of chance to equal
the famous Ohioan's pitching rec
ord, and already fandom is looking
a that man askance,
Every time Big Six" loses a
game nowadays the question is ask
ed. is Matty going back ?" Lit
tie attention is paid to his win
nings. Gotham is accustomed to
seeing him win; it is only when
he crops 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 can't
get ball players to take any stock
in that theory. A poll of the big
league would probably reveal the
interesting fact that the players
themselves still believe that Big
Six" is the premier boxman of the
time.
AS d 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 il
is settled Surprising he should
show a decline this year-it might
be merely one of those periods to
watch 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 d decrepit old
man-"Old Christy Mathewson."
To equal Cy Youngs record. Mat
ty would have to keep going for
the next ten years at better than
average speed. and most people are
rather inclined to doubt that.
The man who will very likely de-

Of the sixteen Victories he claims
In the game between the Giants
and cubs on June Y the Rube
was taken out in the eighth inning
to allow Shafer to BAT New York
SEQ ed two runs in this inning
winning the game 3 to ,.
New York papers credited Mar
guard with the victory. on the
ground that although New York
was behind when Shafer bstted for
Marquard. when CrandaH went in
the locals had forged to the front
Later the Gotham papers defended
this position by claiming that Mar
guard had left the game in such a
shape that the New York team
could win IT,

few runs viii have TO be made in

be ten as the two needed in the
game under discussion.
BY section Of rule 28, dealing
with substitutes, Marquard was out
of the game as soon as Shafer was
sent up to bat, and surely common
sense would dictate that a player
once out OF the game could have no
influence whatever on what hap
pened in that game after he left it.
1t has been generally the custom in
cases of the kind to charge the
pitcher with neither defeat nor
victory, but to simply pat him on
record as having been taken out.
The whole situation seems to
have been brought about by undue
haste of New York scribes to give
Marquard modern-day record.
still, few days later, John Heyd-
Ier. who is official statistician OF
the National league, decided To
award this doubtful victory to Mar

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 il 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
my 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. Ir
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 q ma
lority 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
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 familiar one to the
Polo ground crowd
1t will be a sad loss to baseball
when Matty quits but it will be
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
- games. of which % 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 pitched and delivered ten
wild pitches. Alexander. for in
stance gave 227 bases on balls.

Battle for Southern Tennis
Title Starts Here Next Week

when the tournament will be limit
ed to members of Southern clubs
only Then if the tennis commit
tee has some money to spend for
expenses, let it bring to Atlanta
some of the Southern stars. We'd
like to see some of those famous
Texas players. There are always a
few Virginians who might be in
duced' Let the committee scour
the South for star Southern play
ers. Bring them here and there
would be a hundred tight matches.
instead OF a sorry walk-over. as
there is when a star or two from
outside is brought here.
It MOTHER reform. we hope. for
though there seems even less
reason for hoping, is that some day
somebody will reform 4he foot
fault rule at the local tournament.
It's a pitiful sight to see the foot
faulting when a Southern tourna
ment is in progress. Nine players
out of ten in the tournament start
their serve with their toe on the
line. Some of them hitch forward
from an inch to foot when they
serve Occasionally, right In an
important match, with an official
in charge. you will see q man star,
serve with his foot clear across
the line and in the court.
The officials say. "Oh. Well, we
don't punish any little unintcn-
tiona violations of this rule"
All right, then where will YOU
draw the line?
If it is all right for a man to
serve with his foot half across the
line why isn't It right for him to
go all the way across the line? And
If he goes all the way across. why
can't ne go to the net to serve2
If YOU want to know. the real
reason for this wretched condition
is that the big tennis men of the
club the men who ought TO set the
style for play that is in accordance
with the rules. are about the worst
offenders in the foot faulting.
We promise to have a good bit
more to say about this subject
when the tournament gets under
way, provided the rule is not bet
Ter enforced than in the past Wen
Try to let everybody know that the
rule is being violated. who is doing
i'll, and what officials are allowing it.
Maybe that will wake up somebody
who will do something though. as
we admitted before, our hopes are
