Fans, not alone in this city. but

if they should see In the coming
worlds series Christy Mathewson,
the pitcher hero for a dozen years,

SoX. But that will surely happen
if Matty finds that his famous
fadeaway and others of his old de-
liveries are not effective against
the SoX.

him an average Of 500 per cent for
the series. consider Speaker one
of the greatest players that ever
