Our Greatest Baseball Pitcher

"Out of the squad of baseball heroes
whose work shone brilliantly in the recent
worlds championship series, one ma n
stood out head and shoulders above all
the others, and deservedly so, for his eff
forts viewed from any angle, marked him
as the king of the contest without a
peer, says Ed A. Salweg in Leslie's. This
man was Christy Matthewson. the old
MASTER whose wonderful performances
since he Joined the ranks of the Giants
more than dozen years ago, have been
featured and praised wherever the ma
tional pastme is known.
And Matthewson. the greatest and
most successful pitSher that ever lived,
the hero of hundreds of contests and the
wonder of the baseball world, is a mag
nificent specimen of the perfect athlete
and glorious example of what clean
living will do for a man. certain
sporting element may sneer at the men
who protect themselves, their physical,
mental and moral well being. but against
any argument they may advance stands
out the compelling example of Matthew
son to put them to shame.
He is a college graduate, a member
of the Y. M. c. A., fine family man and
clean liver His admiration for the
church and its work has caused him al
ways to refuse to play ball on Sunday,
and when he seeks recreation away from
the green diamonds. he finds the keenest
enjoyment in a game of checkers with
some skillful opponent The example set
by Matthewson should be an incentive to
every ball player wishing to succeed.
and the fondest wish of his thousands of
admirers is that he will retain his speed
and ability and be able to pitch success
fully for many years to come. The game
pitched by Christy in the second game
of the Series, when. with crippled team
behind him. he defeated the Athletics by
score of to 0, is accredited with being
just about the finest speciment of twirl-
ing ever seen IN a worlds championship
engagement"

Lady Churston's plan was to get
popular with the people of the neigh
borhood. IT drank tea with the cot
tagers, I nursed the babies and gave
checks TO all the local charities. The
people became my friends and l their
sincere and attached companion and
the county saw it was the wisesr
course to take me up or else get cut
out in the affection of the masses. And
they took me up, l condescendingly
allowing them to do So" This attitude
is not altogether original; it is just
the one American women adopt when
they come over here without any spe-
cial introductions. 1t is a clever move
and 1t always carries the day.
