This Big Series
May Be the Last

k EW YORK, Oct. 4.-Baseball
gossip here today has it that
the world series which starts
next week is to be the last. In
many quarters agitation for the
abandonment for the worlds
series each fall and the sub
stftutf0n of an interleague post
season series, in which all Of
the 10 major league clubs could
share, has been going ON aor
some time. August Hermann,
chairman of the national COM
mission and owner of the Gin

that the regular League season
should be reduced to 112 games
In each league, to be followed
byenn interleague schedule of Ga
games, by which each national
league team would play four
games at home and four abroad
with each American league

their way to their homes in thick fog
OF despair
''Matty is DONE" was the hollow
moan that swept DER all the city. as
Mr.. Milton would have said If he had
been there at the time.
Since that ghastly afternoon the
giant blonde pitcher has been done
practically every season. Practically
the entire western wing of the Base
ball Writer'S association has been
ordering him scrapped at least once
a season for seven years. 1t is no
secret to them that Matty isn't there
any more. They haven't kept 1T quiet,
either. About once a month some
expert out on the circuit gathers the
readers of his paper about him and
solemnly lets them In for the news"
that Mr.. Christy Mathewson is

a little late coming off, but it came.
1t is on now. He has been bumped
rather savagely in his last few
starts, and the baseball undertakers
have called their annual convention.
We are warned that the Athletics will
knock his knob crooked. 1t is pos
sible. They have beaten him before,
but they were always aware that they
had been attending a performance OF
big league pitching when the game
was over.
Some time this prophecy business is
bound to cash in. It's like betting on
the races-you're bound to win once
if you stick to it all your life. But
Matty is comfortably under 35. and
probably has at least f1ve years more
of big league pitching in his arm and
head-especially in his head.
IN HIS TOOLS
amazing number of his balls cut the
plate In one nine inning game he
came through with the astounding
record of having pitched only rs balls.
On another occasion-this time against
the Cubs-he would have made rec
ord of CT but for the persistent foul
ing of Zimmerman.
No matter how important the game
may be, Matty never works any
harder than is necessary. This is not
because he is lazy, but because he is
sensible. For instance, in the series
with the Yankees a couple of years
ago Me never used his famous fade

cases 1t was a critical time, and in
both cases the "fadeaway" was a COM
plete mystery to the Yankee batters.

Unfortunately there is fair chance
that 1t might have failed in the pinch.
"FADEAWAY"
Baseball is his big business. but he
doesn't loaf half the year on that ac-
count. He has other ambitions. Once
he lusted to play the trombone In an
orchestra. but 1t is believed that he
has abandoned that dream in favor of
a stage career or life insurance, or
any other good, clean business where
there is money in the making. He is
probably worth 100000. and knows a
good investment when he sees it.
In his hours of relaxation he is an
earnest and discriminating reader,
and is credited with having a private
library of considerable merit. He is
also one of the best checker players in
this country. He is popular with
his teammates, and many ball
player comes to him for advice when
he has got himself into tangle of
baseball law.
Altogether. clean, hard working,
level headed young man-and not
