MATTY'S BRAIN IS
KEEPING UP RECORD

NEW YORK. Sept. 20.-You have
to hand it TO Mathewson. What other
pitcher ever overcome SO many handi-
caps and yet remained at the top of
the profession the way that he has
done? Few of the fans-wperhaps few
of the New York players, even--ever
stop to figure out all the obstacles that
Matty has successfully overcome.
Matty promptly devised a pitching
system which would bother the bats
men. yet require less expenditure Of
speed and energy. He lessened his
strike-out record but made up by
fewer bases on balls, this development
of control also evening UP for few
extra 1its. Ere long this style of
pitching proved wholly successful. IL
there was any sort of fielding back
of 1t.
The weight OF advancing years and
the toll Of many battles might have
been reasonably expected to wear
Matty down under the conditions of
the time but, as If this wasn't enough.
the bosses next put the livelier ball
into the game. Only the fast strike
out pitchers could really cope with
this change of conditions--excepting
Matty A little extra carefulness: a
little added craft. a strike-out
switched in here and there and Matty
was rolling along taking care OF his
ga mes just the same as ever.
More handicaps due 70 advancing
age. have now added their burden.
Once active as a cat in bouncing on
hunts-Matty's legs are now all
slowed up and he can't get over. the
grass. TO bunt on Matty is cinch. a
pipe But they seldom do It. He
filings a hall that tempts them irres-
: istibly 20 wallop madly. and in vain.
| His slower fielding. makes but little
difference in the perfection OF bis
work.
| The same slowness of feet has killed

! hitting would help win many close

BETWEEN AGENTS

The Utah insurance department will
not permit agents Of one life insur-
ance company to cast doubts upon the
solvency of any other legal reserve
life insurance company authorized to
do business In this state, saws a bull
letin to life insurance managers issued
yesterday by Willard Done. state insur-
ance commissioner.
He asserts that the principle Of le-
gal reserve insurance protects all hold
ers and that it will be considered an
act of misrepresentation If an agent
of one company calls attention to a
reduction in the surplus of another and
predicts failure with loss to policy
holders.
The circular states that there is no
relation between the condition of the
surplus and the condition Of the re-
serve and that many times a decrease
in surplus is caused by the cost Of
placing new business Oh the books
Commissioner Done asks that all life
insurance agents be given copies Of the

GARMENTS MEETING
Many Important Matters to
Be Considered at Biennial
Convention.

The biennial convention OF the Anal
gamated Association of Street and Elec'
trical Railway Employees Of America
will convene Mt the Hotel Utah at 10
o'clock Monday morning for ten
days session. 1t is expected that ap-
proximately 500 delegates will be pres
ent from the United States and Can
ada. which will be the largest attend
ance in the history OF the organization.
The last meeting was held at st. Joseph,
Mo, two years ago, when, through the
excellent work of A. Fl. Burt and D. III.
Lamont of this city, Salt Lake was Sc
locted as the next meeting place.
Nine delegates from New Orleans ar
rived in the city yesterday and 26o
delegates from Chicago, which is
common meeting point, are expected to-
special train.
When the convention is called to Or
der at 10 O'Clock Monday morning,
Mayor Samuel G.. Park will deliver an
address of welcome to the delegates,
which will be responded to by. w. b.
Mahon, president of the association An
adjournment will then be taken until 2
clock in the afternoon, when com

of the day and not until Tuesday morn
ing will the convention get down to
regular business.
The election Of officers for the ensu-
ing two wears and the selection Of the
next meeting place will be determined
upon the closing day of the convention,
There are many matters Of import.
ance to come before the convention and
,the meeting promises to be the most
important ever held by the association.
One of the matters to be considered
is the action Of the steam railroad men,
taking the electric men into their or.
der, in view OF the fact that many of
electricity as motive power. This is
objected to by the electric men, upon
the ground that it is causing the disin-
tegration of their union.
Another matter, which will be taken
up and may cause big fight, Is the pro-
posal to reinstate the Philadelphia or
ganization, No, ATT. which was suspend
ed upon the charge Of insubordination
at the st. Joseph meeting of two years
ago. G. o. Pratt, who was the business
agent of the Philadelphia union at the
time Of the suspension, and who is still
the business agent, is In the city and ls
prepared to make a fight for the re-
scinding Of the order. Mr.. Pratt de-
clined to discuss the matter last night,
saving that it was only for the conven-
ton to decide and that he did not de.
sire to be quoted as to the disagree
ment at this time.
Just what the alleged insubord1na-
ton consisted Of could not be learned,
as Mr.. Pratt declined TO go into the
matter
