Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-10-09

have, no doubt, said something about
Christy Mathewson long before this,
but we have reserved him for the last
word that is everything in greatness.
We have been lodging around Matty
for all this time, feeling that we were
not equal to the task of giving the
greatest of pitchers all that is coming
to him. You could say all you have
to say and you could add to that
what others have said before you
and you wouldn't be saying anything
more about Matty than Matty really
deserves. The poets. perhaps, can best
sing Mattys praises. They can call
him the "Old Master" pathetically,
and they can refer to him in any way
they want to reverently, but no COM
mon, ordinary poet, no plebeian sport
ing writer will ever be able--and let
the fans do the judging-to give full
measure, full credit to Matty. He is
the last word in his profession. He
is the first man in his sphere. He
is everything that is great and Won
derful, a perfect evolution of the
rnystifying mazes of the art of Twill
ing. He is old in years, but he is
beautiful of face. He is premier at
the game, and he has the strength of
lion in the box. His eye is keen,
his brain is, clear his Judgment is
superior. He is the last letter of the
last word in all that is wonderful.
We would like to go on and say more
nice things and other nice things
about Matty, Matty, Matty,' but you
could go on and on and still not be
within country miles of giving the
mighty twirler full and unadulterated
credit.
1t is not q question of praise for a
man who has performed a marvellous
a man who has been the most Won
derful figure these last few years in
baseball. To Matty we say Good
luck! Godspeed!" He has well earned
tried and true servant Of the
Giants. He has been great before
but he has never been greater than
he was yesterday. That's why every
body in the stands and in the
bleachers, friend and foe alike, stood
up and cheered and yelled and
screamed and shouted at sthe top OF
their voices-and some said:
God bless you, Matty!" right out
loud in the open.
