Christy Mathewson, the great pitcher OF
the New York Giants, has more shut-outs
to his credit than any other twirler who

the exception Of Cy Young.

in seventy-three games during his reign
OF thirteen years, while Young required
twenty-five years to run up a shut-out rec

nine more years and he Will probably set
a mark in the way Of whitewashes that
will stand for many seasons His aver
age Of FIVE and fraction a season is
much higher than Young's three and a

The twirlers who closely approach
Matty are Walter Johnson. who in seven
years has pitched forty shut-outs, and Ed

Reulbach Adopts Old
Role of Giant Killer
GIANTS APPEAL FROM
DECISION BY LYNCH
Carry Case Of Forfeited Game
with the PhiIIieS to Board of
Directors of League.

The New York Giants have appealed to
the board Of directors Of the National
League from the decision Of President
Lynch. awarding the Philadelphia-New
York game OF August 80 TO the Phillies.
This announcement was made last night
by John A. Heydler. secretary Of the
league.
The game. which was being played on
the Philadelphia grounds, was declared
forfeited 10 New York by Brennan. the
umpire. in the ninth inning. with New
York at bat. two runs behind. one man
out and nobody on base. because Of the
actions OF the crowd in the centre field
bleachers.
Brennan reported that a part OF the
crowd broke into a hitherto unoccupied
section of the bleachers in line OF vision
with the pitchers box ard the plate, and
began waving papers and coats so that II
vas impossible for him TO see ball that
was pitched When the Philadelphia
,,ararement refused 10 clear the bleach
or section In question. Brennan's report
added he declared the game forfeited.
President Lynch on receiving the re-
mort decided that the umpire had ex-
ceeded his rights, reversed Brennan's md
ING and awarded the game to Philadel-
mia. From this decision the New YORK
club has now appealed TO the league dl-
rectors.
The dispute has aroused wide interest
owing 10 the drawing closer OF the pen
nant race in the last few days. and the

game might count in the ultimate out
